The Nasty Party (AKA the Tories), it's back!

What did you want him to say?

Nothing would have been better than an endorsment....

It really shows how far things have gone when Patel is the voice of moderation

Extremist party rewrites definition of extremism to fight extremism....
You couldn't make it up (but they have).
Very soon (with any luck) the Conservative party will ban itself under it's own rools.

It shows a certain level of desperation when you have to invent something that doesn't need doing to look like you're actually doing something, so that the sheeple don't notice the things you should be doing that you're not doing....

I liked this bit from Radio 4 earlier:

Energy Minister Graham Stuart said Mr Hester's comments were "clearly wrong", but warned against "cancelling anyone who has ever said anything".
When asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme if the Conservatives should hand back Mr Hester's donations, Mr Stuart said he was not sure.
He said: "Diane Abbott has suffered horribly on social media. What we need is a politics which shows more kindness and understanding of each other, not the vile polarisation we've seen in which people are denigrated and attacked."

A request for kinder politics sounds familiar. Things didn't end too well for that fella.

Look, I think we should just all move on from this now.
He’s said sorry and that’s good enough for me.
Now where did I put that £10mill.

Don't suppose there was a cheaper way to do it?

Has no-one shown him the Government Docu-sign account?

I can't even begin to tell you how funny I find this.

We're at the 'pinning medals on corporals and making them Field Marshalls' stage.

From the Beeb, in their lives feed confirming we are, in fact, in a recession. It's such a notoriously imbalanced mouthpiece...

For the whole of 2023, the UK economy grew by just 0.1%.

Excluding the Covid pandemic, that is the country's weakest economic result since 2009 - otherwise known as the financial crisis when banks all but stopped lending and some teetered on the brink of collapse.

And the London stock market is being massively out performed by New York.
The country seems to be stagnant at the moment.

Love or loathe GB and Alistair Darling, in 2010, when they left office, debt was 600bn (just after having to reward banks for their corruption) and GDP grew at 2.2%

Debt is now 2.2tn and growth has been all but non-existent since then. Austerity was supposed to pay down debt and I'm astonished that nobody asks where the money is?

TBH, I'm so glad I bailed out when I was able to.

Not in any rush to return.
