Or the Mail.
The latest outrage is hundreds of Civil Servants on a similar salary to the PM.
Nothing like a good salary to prevent harmful leaks.
I wonder what other distracting outrages they can find before the current farce runs out of shelf life.

The economy is hamstrung by inflation, a cost of living crisis and looming tax and bill increases. The Covid economic bounce will dry up soon enough. Brexit is an ongoing catastrophe, being completely insulated doesn't really qualify someone to make such spurious claims. 175,000 Brits have died over the last couple of years and his management of the crisis has been absolutely disastrous, and to add insult to injury they want to flog the NHS off to private US healthcare companies. I don't consider any of that to be "brilliant." Of course you would, as enraptured as you are with the monstrous beast Johnson and his horrific Government.

Yes, but the economy is being hamstrung by our governments non-intervention ideology. Inflation, like shit, happens. It should be the job of government to manage it preemptively, not reactively with blunt and regressive measures the effect the poorest first and foremost

The fix is well and truly in, but did anyone really expect anything different from Johnson, looking after the only thing he's interested in (himself, obvs), and the 'extreme right-wing, swivel-eyed loon, destroy everything and rebuild as we want it' Tory party & Government? :eek:

Anyhoo, onward and upward...

FFS, this is what they want
[...]We would need the old Boris back: he would have to ditch the National Insurance increase, embrace a freeze on public spending and accept major shifts to his green agenda. There would need to be a clear-out of the Cabinet as well as advisers, with all the neo-socialists, green fanatics and pro-woke crowd exiting immediately.
Every policy would need to be judged on whether it makes Brexit Britain more competitive, and/or by how it improves the lives, and addresses the fears, of culturally conservative and aspirational Britain.

And this is what they think they've been giving us
The aim would be to ruthlessly target the 43.6 per cent of the electorate who voted Tory in 2019, but by following the broadly conservative approach these voters expected, rather than the weird blend of reheated neo-Brownite social democracy and green paternalism that was unleashed upon them instead.

I think this is a good reading of what's going on. He's bought himself time with the police investigation -- and in that time he'll appease his party by delaying tax rises, eliminating covid restrictions if possible and maybe capping fuel price rises. And he'll soon be seen to be working hard to control inflation and to get levelling up done, which will restore confidence from the electorate. By the time the police report is published, the drama will have lost its edge.

He's got a lot going for him at the moment IMO -- the economy is growing, omicron looks good, Brexit hasn't caused any catastrophes, he's managed the health crisis brilliantly since January 2021, Starmer, Truss and Sunak all lack charisma. Partygate leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth but it will be washed away if house prices and wages rise, inflation is controlled, and he's seen to aggressively manage immigration.

That post is genuinely funny.

That is an article about retaining the profits of crime and corruption, not tackling it

Allister Heath really is a vicious right wing libertarian arsehole.
 
It does seem as if Cressida Dick has set out to curry favour with Boris by deliberately muddying the waters with her own, curiously timed, so called “investigation”. No doubt she is looking for assurances that she will be allowed to continue as Met Commissioner right the way through until she retires, at which point she will probably expect to be honoured with a peerage or some other well-remunerated sinecure.

It’s way past the time for the decent members, yes agree or not there are some, of the Conservative Part to do the right and honest thing to stand up and be counted. Boris Johnson has to go as it’s reached a stage where our so called mother of parliaments has turned the country into a laughing stock. No longer can we complain about banana republic governments doing what they want when we have joined them in our farcical behaviour and blatant manipulation of our police force. What’s next will be the misuse of our armed forces or has that one already benn done in the past.

I voted to get rid of FPTP and for a system that, though not perfect, is a big improvement on what we have. Did you vote to keep FPTP?

No, I did not. Why on earth would I? I doubt you hang off my every post but I can assure you there has never been a post from me supportive of FPTP.

The missed opportunity for a very straightforward referendum on PR is one of the reasons I despise the LibDems and will not forgive them.

Every time you post “IMO” you excel yourself with drivel.

Imagine what would have happened if Labour had got behind the LDs and pushed for real PR, not the useless AV+ bullshit the Tories forced them into.

As ever the problem with UK democracy is Labour. They are the only party with the power to implement change, yet they absolutely refuse to do so. Labour are Tory enablers and will always be found actively defending the corrupt system that has returned minority-vote Tory governments to positions of absolute power 75-80% of the time. We have 120 years of Labour actively blocking the UK becoming an accountable representative democracy. The evidence is indisputable.

PS I do think Clegg made a huge mistake in going into coalition with the Tories even if they did lift millions of low-wage folk out of taxation entirely and basically changed the dialogue in that respect. That was an undisputed win, pretty much everything else a fail.
