    That's Murdoch's opinion too, aand I think his new channel could embarrass Sky and the BBC

    Standard practice and future standard practise I'm afraid. I'm sure fact check could clarify any disputed points. This obviously has to be dismissed as 'anti tory' drivel otherwise one may just believe it and be very dissapointed in our government.

    Chuka chucked it in when he realised that Labour wasn't going to get elected and now works for Edelman as an ESG advisor

    But a true Labour party member would surely never resort to working for nasty big business would they??

    She is shockingly bad Goldie. I remember 3 recent afters by her.
    After talking to Sunak who answered all her questions she said “slippery as ever”
    After talking to a minister she said “ I will let you get on with your work...or not”
    She also described something as a ‘government fiasco’.
    She doesn’t know what impartiality is. Just another liberal remainer who Can’t keep her views to herself.
    Factamondo was spot on she looks like Skeletor! <laugh>

    Why do we love on an era where failure is rewarded amongst the elite? It beggars belief. Harding who has presided over talk talk and the embarrassing 'world beating' track and trace, is now going to oversee the new public health england/nhs privatisation.....theres less corruption in Belarus !!!

    Totally agree Bob take Tony Blair... And his WMD case that he brought to the house. It caused so many deaths in Iraq which then created ISIS and so on. Took our troops I’ll-equipped into a war on a lie and is rewarded by being the chairman for the institute of Global change... you couldn’t make it up?

    last week I saw some posts blaming Patel and Boris for the death of a 16yr old crossing the channel. Some would argue a different point, like why are they fleeing their countries... is it because of war by any chance? All roads lead to Blair.

    I was addressing the point about failure being rewarded... but agree I went off on one. Although my point is spot on... half the problems we have with terrorist and displacement of people lies firmly at the feet of Blair.

    Well, more at the feet of Bush - Blair was just his puppet. What you conveniently forget, though, is that millions of Labour supporters (including me) and dozens of Labour MPs (notable amongst them, one J. Corbyn) opposed our intervention in Iraq. The vast majority of Tory MPs, in contrast, supported it.

    But why not just actually address Bob's point? Or the 80 points in my earlier post that you dismissed. How can you and the other Tories on here possibly defend the breathtaking incompetence and shameless corruption of this government?

    Not that it makes a difference in what was a waste of a life but it should be pointed out that the ‘16 year old boy’ was actually 28 years old.
    Just proves that the media and politicians from all sides will manipulate any situation to suit their own twisted needs.
    I hate them all.

    I remember Corbyn saying in certain words much the same thing. The media then publicised it as Corbyn says terrorism is all our fault! Bizarre really.

    It's pretty hard to defend the points but really easy to dismiss them. Like I said, it's very simple to fact check nowadays but that might just upset a few. Johnsons debate on his poverty claims figures in PMQs was fact checked. Quite embarrassing that the leader of this country could get away with it! Then again if you fact checked everything Johnson said then he wouldnt actually say much.
