No twatty I think one of them will be the catalyst that leads to his downfall. (pointless emoji)So you think one of them is going to break the law, then lie about breaking the law, and then get Starmer to lie about them breaking the law ....... Really ?

I have a… unique set of skills… pissing off the majority of the country within a few months
“I’ll check the fridge. Cover me!”
Talking of Downfall are there any Sir Killer Granny Starmer Hiltla parodies up yet?
Because some won't view it as it's GB News, I can answer the question. NO! Clothing like suits / dresses are NOT "an office expense".
The background lies in a tax case Mallalieu v Drummond where a barrister (yeah, i know!!) had claimed a dark suit and white blouses as she had to be dressed smartly when appearing in Court. The Inland Revenue as it then was, laughed and said "no". She won in the High Court and the Court of Appeal but lost in the HoL. Their Lordships (by 4-1) said that she might not chose to wear her black suit and white blouses on a night out but she COULD. They therefore failed the "wholly and exclusively test".
The Chancellor was therefore totally incorrect to record her personal donation of / for clothing as an "offence expense" and Phillipson has done herself no favours trying to defend the indefensible.
All this could be over if Starmer, Reeves et al paid for what they want / need from their own salaries. Just stop taking freebies! It is making them look as bad as the last lot. You say Johnson's gold wallpaper, I say Starmer's new wardrobe and corporate hospitality. Let's call the whole thing off.

Reoffending prisoner was let out by mistake, BBC told
The government has confirmed 37 prisoners jailed for breaching restraining orders were mistakenly released.

I forget, is everything still the tories fault or are we able to blame labour for anything now ?

Haven't they said they will be from now on? Can't change what has happened in the past, but are doing what you suggest?

No I won't as I have always thought he was a sly character. But he isn't as clever as he thinks, he won't get away with his shenanigans as PM, god only knows what he got up to in the CPS.

But you’re a staunch Tory and they were horribly shit. Labour have just been equally shit. Nobody is winning from all of thisNo I won't as I have always thought he was a sly character. But he isn't as clever as he thinks, he won't get away with his shenanigans as PM, god only knows what he got up to in the CPS.

I thought it was fairly well known that he got up to the very top in the CPS
And he's still way more believable than you

I'm not a staunched Tory, I prefer I sit more towards reform. Very true no one is winning and that is not good for Great Britain. I don't know if you remember the letter saying" I'm afraid there is no money. Kind regards – and good luck! Liam".
The way Labour are spending it, the country will be the worse state it has every been. It's like giving you wallet to thief, and saying can you look after that for an hour or two.
It's all going to go, the minute you leave them.
I just feel for those pensioners.

I don’t agree really with any of that. And the “there is no money” is an old tradition - it’s a joke that has gone on for decades and decades. The Tories decided to leak it for clout and to make their austerity and cuts more palatable in the most cynical way. Ex chancellors from both sides have discussed this.I'm not a staunched Tory, I prefer I sit more towards reform. Very true no one is winning and that is not good for Great Britain. I don't know if you remember the letter saying" I'm afraid there is no money. Kind regards – and good luck! Liam".

Fair enough but Surely you feel sorry for the pensioners?

Of course I do. I’ve stated many times I’m furious about the WFA situation and the reasons why. It’s a dreadful misjudgement

Labour fixer who worked for Lord Alli helped select MPs
Matthew Faulding, who was in charge of candidate selection for this year’s general election, was on secondment to the Labour donor
www.telegraph.co.uk
Lord Alli and Starmer’s MP candidate fixerAs the Telegraph reported:
Notably, parachuted candidates included the likes of self-professed “Zionist shitlord” and National Executive Committee (NEC) member Luke Akehurst for instance. The Telegraph rattled off a list of Faulding’s fixed candidates, as revealed by UnHerd journalist Michael Crick, including:
However, there was also one other critical detail that unveiled the can of corporatist worms writhing at the heart of the Labour right’s rotten core.
Specifically, the Telegraph also noted Faulding’s former role with lobbying firm Lowick Group.
Lowick: the new Labour right lobby kid on the block
Faulding was director of the lobbying corporation between August 2018 and February 2021.Unsurprisingly, the firm has lobbied for a Who’s Who of big polluters. Clients include large property developers like Barratt Homes, multinational investment banking giant JP Morgan, and water industry lobby group Water UK, among other titans from the corporate world.
