Quick reminder it’s the Tory conference this week (a heady concoction of denial and despair no doubt in prospect), seems one of their leadership candidates is keen to get “out there”

They also want to get rid of the NHS.



And despite her cut glass accent she’s working class because she once did a shift in McDonalds

My very early prediction is that one of these nutters will go into the next election promising to leave the ECHR to enact a 'British Bill of Rights'. This'll enthuse the same people who usually don't vote but voted for Brexit. This alongside a pact with Reform will see these back in power. Grim.

I would put money on it.

5 years of this soporific Labour government will get us 5 years of an ultra right wing headbanger party.

As a very near neighbour of Kemi, it frustrates me when people cast doubt on her working class credentials.

She lives in a seventeenth century farmhouse ffs, and anyone who knows anything about seventeenth century agriculture knows that that’s about as working class as you can get.

Kemi Badenough wants to take the Tories further to the right so that they share the same space as Reform.

For those that are busy on the Labour threads, consider this:

In his serialisation for the Mail, our former PM and darling of too many has revealed that he'd wanted to send in a unit of special forces to requisition some Covid material from the Netherlands.

If you still think he/they are a good idea, I genuinely feel for you.

Military action against one of our oldest allies, but Starmer sits in the Arsenal directors box for security reasons so who’s the real villain?

Does she just have the one home?

Corruption review finds 'red flags' in more than 130 Covid contracts https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cevj3y7n33vo

£1 in every £3 spent appears to be the rate of corruption in the funds spent on Covid, with plentiful red flags ignored. It depresses me without surprising me.

Just goes to show how different things look with hindsight. In March-April 2020 when there was huge shortages of PPE and the government (and civil service) were dashing round chasing supplies from anywhere they could get them, there were few people arguing for a slow down, go through normal civil service procedures, no need for any hurry.

If they had follwed the normal procedures, extra PPE would have come on line by July or August, probably. The NHS staff would surely have understood.

I’m sorry, but desperate as we were, surely a company not having existed for more than 90 days with no trading history should have raised some alarm bells. It reminds me of the chap who gave a ferry contract to a mate’s company which didn’t have any ferries.
