Shameful and scandalous antics, it absolutely stinks

I bet the Taxpayers alliance will be up in arms

The Education Secretary promoting assault??

"The education secretary, Gillian Keegan, told headteachers she would be tempted to punch any Ofsted inspectors who were rude during school visits – earning a rebuke from school unions and Ofsted’s chief inspector.

Speaking to the Association of School and College Leaders’ (ASCL) annual conference in Liverpool, Keegan said she had been “delighted” to hear that Ofsted inspectors had been instructed to treat staff in schools with greater respect.


“I heard recently from a fantastic school I went into, they told me how their Ofsted experience had gone, and I was shocked, I was actually shocked. I thought, ‘If I’d have met these people I’d have probably punched them.’ They were really rude."

Private hospitals are doing one in 10 of all planned NHS operations amid patients’ frustration at long delays in NHS care and political pressure to cut waiting times.

New figures seen by the Guardian prompted campaigners to warn that the NHS is “allowing the private sector to make a killing” and is seeing more and more of its services “cannibalised” because years of underinvestment mean it can no longer provide care quickly.

The only joy I will get out of this years GE is seeing Tory after Tory loosing their seat (that's if they haven't resigned already like May). I might have to take a day off for it to be honest.

Such lovely people:

"The Conservative party’s biggest donor told colleagues that looking at Diane Abbott makes you “want to hate all black women” and said the MP “should be shot”, the Guardian can reveal.

Frank Hester, who has given £10m to the Tories in the past year, said in the meeting that he did not hate all black women. But he also said that seeing Abbott, who is Britain’s longest-serving black MP, on TV meant “you just want to hate all black women because she’s there”.

Always think nothing better sums up the hostility the Tories have for the north more in recent times than the fact they decided Lee Anderson (thick bigot that he gives the impression of being) somehow spoke for all of them

"His lawyers said the fact that his donation was to a party led by Britain’s first Hindu prime minister, a politician of Indian heritage, was further evidence of him embracing diversity"

It's like the legal version of "I can't be a racist, my mate's black"
