Week for Labour resignations then with Dennis Jones going (quietly especially on here) yesterday.

Party for the people they say, I don’t think the girls from Rotherham would agree.

Play us the greatest hits again.

Seems that she took the initial advice at face value and was then backed into a corner when the accurate advice was given.   

 

It's sad for her that it ends this way, but at least it isn't malevolent.

Having lived a long time in South Eastern Europe I'm always impressed at how quaint Britain's political scandals are.

Repeated for emphasis at this time.

... and is there any reason why Snake Oil Nige thinks there's going to be an election any earlier than 2029?

There better not be, I've based on mortgage decisions on avoiding my term ending during any possible reform government.

So she made declarations she believed to be true. The ethics advisor has clarified there is significant complexity around the rules and the type of trust they have for the other property, that she owns no part of. It was a mistake. She's gone because such a mistake isn't tolerable in that position, even though harsh given her openness and transparency.

seems that way... which in fairness, is the right and proper approach to something like this.

Bit unfortunate given the name of the current Monarch.

Of course.

 

The policies of the current US administration are the policies Farage wants here, that is obvious. With all the consequences and responsibility for those consequences that entails.

The people who broke it by gaslighting millions of people into voting to make themself poorer and every issue they were complaining about much, much worse are in the middle of the next phase which is to gaslight the same people into voting away their own human rights. None of said people have yet been held accountable for the damage they have done and are doing.

Don't worry, if things play out the way they might, accountability will come in the form of a rather large mob screaming "who killed the world?"

Sticking up for Rupert Lowe now? I can't keep up with who the bad guys are anymore 

Lowe is quite interesting. Don't share many of his politics but he seems intelligent and importantly seems to have gone into politics to actually change things.

 

Farage is obviously just a spiv who's interested solely in himself. Speaking as someone who is quite conservative and would generally prefer lower immigration levels, he's probably the worst thing ever to happen to politics in this country. 

 

Anderson is quite frankly thick as shit and also clearly a sad twat.
