You can just imagine someone in the room with an iota of common sense going "come on guys, really? Can we please stop scoring own goals? We're not Lewis Dunk Vs Liverpool FFS"

And getting immediately shouted down with 'yeah that's all well and good, but where's the angle for us to make money out of this'

Disgusting is a word we use more and more in this household about this government and its doings, particularly about immigration matters, but not exclusively……

Like Trump everyone that put themselves close to Johnson became comtaminated. Sharpe has gone, but we still don't know who lent the cash to him. This should have been on the public record.
As the Beeb, time for Labour to show some guts. Its time to end the politic appointees from both sides, Aunty is caught in the middle every time and every dishonest client journalist puts the boot in where possible

I hope Starmer sorts all the political cronyism out when he is PM. The Government need to have zero influence BBC appointments. They need to have say on House of Lords appointments either (Labour have already said they’ll sort this chamber). In addition, those breaking the ministerial code (which needs tightening up again) need their outcome decided by an independent panel, not the PM.
Tough to do along with everything else.
All the while the opposition and national press are telling everyone how a labour government has ruined everything.
You only have to look at the social housing 'debate' on this week's QT to see everything is already Labours fault.
But then again it's a plan that's worked every other time, so why not again from 2025.

It's not just contaminated by Johnson, it's still his appointments running the country.
The vast majority of the Cabinet (and all the senior posts) are occupied by people appointed to Cabinet by Johnson. Sunak was his second in command throughout this whole clusterf***. It's the same Brexit cabal re-arranged multiple times like deckchairs on the Titanic or, to be more accurate, turds in a cat tray. And the few that weren't appointed by him were appointed by that brilliant Johnson appointee Liz Truss
I guess it is possible that the two most incompetent PMs in British history strangely had a skill for identifying successful, honest, hard working, competent people to surround themselves with
The ditches thing
At least they will 'all' be in place for when The Big Dog returns and Makes Britain Great Again.It's not just contaminated by Johnson, it's still his appointments running the country.

But on the bright side, this time people will have a far better idea of what they're actually voting for
But will probably then go and do the exact same thing
Of course we will, because we would have had to suffer 18 months of successive Labour failure.But on the bright side, this time people will have a far better idea of what they're actually voting for
But will probably then go and do the exact same thing
Oh the humanity.

Interesting read from January .

Why would Boris Johnson need an £800,000 loan? - BBC News
Sources who know the former PM say he would have used the money to fund his lifestyle.

"Funding his lifestyle" isn't really accurate, it's about financing the carnage he has left in his personal life and the liabilities he has been left with.
On such a basis, you'd think he just get on with his true "genius", journalism and writing. He's very good at it and got very well paid.
Unfortunately for us and for him, he was hell bent on being called Prime Minister albeit not being that bothered with actually working as one.
Quite how anyone associated with the Conservative party still cling onto the idea he is their saviour is beyond me. He was always completely unfit for public office.

Well, quite. It says he used to earn about 800k a year from such activities. Obviously he has legally binding obligations to the women and children he has left lying around the U.K. and he likes expensive wallpaper, it all needs paying for.
It’s f***ing expensive being a ****.

Five Conservative councillors standing for the party in this week’s local elections in England, have been suspended for alleged racism and Islamophobia in recent years – including one who suggested banning mosques and another who accused Muslims of being on a “quest to turn the world Muslim”.
The media has absolutely no interest in Islamophobia in the Conservative Party which is a shame as they generally did a good job of calling our antisemitism in the Labour Party leading to Starmer’s highly successful ‘zero tolerance’ approach.
The Tories and their media backers just aren’t interested in their politicians/councillors being Islamophobic. A disgrace really.
