[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

Pathetic really, isn’t it. Utterly contemptible. Headlines all concerning the wrong-doings of our esteemed leaders. Most of them concerning their efforts to evade blame.

Ministers were using the electric car battery maker Britishvolt as a prime example of the government’s record for “securing business investment in the UK” just months before the scheme collapsed without any public investment.

The company, once heralded as Britain’s potential champion for battery making, fell into administration last week after the failure of last-ditch talks to find emergency funding to keep it afloat. Its demise has been criticised as showing the government’s lack of industrial strategy, the shortcomings of “levelling up” and Britain’s failure to grasp new manufacturing opportunities in the wake of Brexit.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Not sure about the customers, but I feel batteries are a fairly well-proven technology.

This was the flagship levelling up poster company for our new “Levelled Up” Britain. Though we both know that it was always a fig leaf to hide the absence of any form of long term industrial strategy.

Im sure a well connected do gooder will be along soon to purchase the company at. 5 pence in the pound and remind us of why this is great opportunity for public funding investment

So his defence is that, on this occasion, he was incompetent rather than corrupt

Delicious slip of the tongue from James "Not So" Cleverly. Said he didn't know about allegations but he did know the bloke who got the job had wealth and experience.

Shamelessly stolen from Twitter but.... "Boris Johnson wouldn't need to borrow £800,000 if he cooked from scratch and cancelled Netflix"

I hate to think how much he paid his accountants just for them to make these careless mistakes. Heart bleeds.

(Love how he's trying to convince the country that he simply filled out his tax return incorrectly himself)

Almost certainly this is just to kick the ball In to the long grass. He's lied, threatened legal action in response to genuine questions of probity and has now had to pay a penalty charge for non payment of tax.....obviously not a resignation matter post-Johnson. Any Minister would have walked for this pre-Johnson and this is what we are left with nowadays, criminals at the head of government.

Feels a bit like getting the cash back from Lady Mone, pretend to do something to try and douse the flames, but nothing will happen

 

[The Clamp]

It’s quite something when the allegation of tax evasion is not an instant resignation/dismissal.

Plough the lot of them into a ditch. Scum. Criminal scum.

Doesn't matter how may times they rearrange this Brexit cabal cabinet, it's still the same bunch of lying, self serving, narcissistic, nefarious little shits playing musical chairs

Nadhim Zahawi ‘misled officials over David Cameron’s Greensill messages’​

Nadhim Zahawi failed to tell officials that he had exchanged WhatsApp messages with David Cameron when the former PM was contacting ministers about Greensill Capital loans, it has been reported. The Tory chair – fighting for his political life after admitting he had to settle a tax dispute with HMRC – wrongly told investigators that he had not exchanged messages with Mr Cameron, according to The Times.

A probe by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) found that Mr Zahawi did not tell officials about messages from Mr Cameron looking for help with contact details, the newspaper said. Mr Zahawi later admitted messages were exchange – but said they had been deleted, after their existence was established and the ICO returned to ask him again about the communication.

All the information about them and their various histories was in the public domain when the country decided 'This is exactly what we need to run the country for the next 5 years'. It wasn't as if we weren't warned

Speaking as an accountant, what chance have we -or HMRC - got at explaining to taxpayers how to do the right thing when the bloke at the top of the pile is evading tax?

The last three Chancellors of the Exchequer

KK wrecked the economy to the tune of billions within a week
NZ has had to pay a penalty for unpaid tax despite issuing a SLAPP against journalists revealing it and was also non dom status for a few years
RS has a wife who is non dom status but has since paid some tax on it.

This country is corrupt. There is no other way of describing it. We are being asset stripped
