UK Politics Thread (Part 3)

Listening to Mark Harper being interviewed on Radio 4 this morning; he rivals Braverman for utter stupidity.

Tory heavyweights of yesteryear, the likes of Heseltine and Hurd, must cringe every time a member of the current cabinet opens their mouth.

The Conservative Party is fast descending into something like the GOP in the US. Full of self-publicists who see no real value in public service other than a means to promote themselves into high office , which has nowadays become the place from which the goodies flow.

So like the Romans and Greeks then?

You mean it hasn’t always been a place to which the goodies flow?

It’s never been so in your face blatant as it is now.

Lisa Nandy seems to be a very sensible, and well researched politician when I hear her speak. To me anyway. Not sure why Starmer moved her aside to be honest.

Pretty much nailed it here again.

She’s too far to the left for his liking.

Ta, I did wonder. Ability wise she appears to be someone you’d want to have on / near the front bench.

No other country wants her.

Might be ethnically indian. But…

I wouldn’t want to inflict her upon any other country.

You’ve already paid us once for the service you never received, so we’ll charge you a second time to not deliver the service you need.

I thought water companies were supposed to be giving all or most customers rebates…looks like thats aright load of piffle…oh yes the extra is for your stakeholders jollies I reckon…there has been a leak near us for 20 years…every year workmen come out, dig the pathway up, leave it for a week, don’t tell residents they’re turning the water off, the fill the hole in and disappear…so what is my money being spent on??..oh yes next years little attempt to solve the leak…

Got to find a way to claw back the money they’re supposed to be handing out for rebates, and pocket a little extra…

Another day, more chaos. This country is overdue a general election.

Apparently there is a Panarama special on the BBC tonight. They haven’t announced the subject matter but I would guess it is related to HS2.

Would be interesting if it was about football corruption instead…

Rumours are the Birmingham Manchester leg has been binned.

If true, what a colossal waste.

Feels like the UK has been well a truly stripped at the moment.

Those have been the rumours for the past 2 weeks, have they not?

Makes absolutely no sense, like this government.

Apparently it’s about sex exploitation at Abercrombie and fitch.

Yes but it seems to have gone up another notch today for some reason.

Daily Fail reporting it as cancelled. We’ll see I guess
