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

[lawros left foot]

I’ve just seen this on Twitter.

I don’t know if it’s the complete list, but, I think it’s enough to be going on with.

I see they have missed Miriam Cates,

As of December 2023, she is under investigation by the parliamentary commissioner for standards over claims she has caused "significant damage to the reputation" of the Commons and its members.


Considering how low the majority of the public view MPs, she must be a serial killer or something as bad,to have seriously damaged their reputation.


I can’t wait till we are allowed to know what she has been up to. It seems just being a vile right wing nut job is the least of her abhorrent personality traits.

Soon to cleared I'd imagine. It was all to do with an event during lockdown.

“According to the Institute for Government, while Acoba can publicly say when a former minister has breached the rules, it has no power to enforce sanctions, and it is left to the government of the day to decide on any action to be taken.”

Here is the action that need to be taken:

The first job for Sir Keir when he moves into No.10 later this year should be to take that lying ****’s ex-PM allowance and security detail away.

A cohort of Conservative MPs standing down before the next election have netted jobs worth millions of pounds and have taken dozens of all-expenses-paid trips funded by foreign governments and lobbyists, the Observer can reveal.

A cohort of Conservative MPs standing down before the next election have netted jobs worth millions of pounds and have taken dozens of all-expenses-paid trips funded by foreign governments and lobbyists, the Observer can reveal.

Outgoing Tory MPs take lucrative second jobs and ‘swan off on jollies’​

Sixty-four serving Tory MPs and four independent MPs who lost the Tory whip have announced that they plan to stand down at the next election amid polling that suggests their party may face an electoral wipeout. But analysis by the Observer has found that 34 members of that group, the vast majority of whom are current or former ministers, listed a net total of over £2.5m of expected annual income in the register of MPs interests.

At the top of the list was former justice secretary Brandon Lewis, who has taken on five new part-time roles worth £410,000 a year alongside his commitments as an MP. Former chancellors of the exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng and Sajid Javid registered work worth £98,600 and £321,000 a year respectively. In January, former deputy prime minister Dominic Raab registered a £118,000-a-year role working for private equity firm Appian Capital, for which he needed to work for roughly a week of every month.

Gorging as much as possible as their snouts are dragged squealing from the trough. But I guess people knew what they were voting for

Shells Braverman calling for the dismissal of MET Police Commissioner.




It’s a good job she has never heard how peaceful football fans are treated by the police.
I’ve been told I can’t cross roads, kept in grounds for up to an hour, told I can’t have a drink in certain pubs, told I can’t walk through certain areas.

And all to protect my own safety.

Airlines that fly asylum seekers to Rwanda on behalf of the UK government could be in breach of human rights laws, UN experts have warned.

Even if the UK-Rwanda agreement and the ‘Safety of Rwanda’ bill are approved, airlines and aviation regulators could be complicit in violating internationally protected human rights and court orders by facilitating removals to Rwanda.

If airlines and aviation authorities give effect to state decisions that violate human rights, they must be held responsible for their conduct.

“Objections to the government's flagship Rwanda Bill by some peers are "patronising" and "border on racism", the deputy foreign secretary has said”.

Deportation flights to Rwanda will take off in summer, Rishi Sunak says

The first flights deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda will take off in "10 to 12 weeks" the prime ministers says.

It’s painfully obvious to anyone with the power of cognition that Sunak’s final solution of trafficking asylum seekers to Rwanda to stop people trafficking asylum seekers will never happen. Nor would it work if it were to happen.

He’s already blaming “Labour and lawyers” for its failure.

Nope, it’s failed because it’s illegal, inhumane, unworkable, and nonsensical.

And you’re an incompetent nincompoop.

If/when it fails surely a 'normal' person would accept that the game is up and they are no longer able to govern and be forced to call a general election?!

You’d think.

The desperation to try and get a few asylum seekers on plane to Rwanda at huge cost to the taxpayer is one the most unedifying things I have ever seen. This government is just utterly disgusting without an ounce of humanity in it. Trying to save face by treating desperate people in the cruellest possible way and then screaming like petulant children in a supermarket aisle when it is pointed out to them that the LAW prevents them from doing this.

Rwanda is all they have right now and it is just pitiful.
