Not to mention all the parties, knobbing his constituents and going through endless wallpaper samples ... ... and let's not forget all those hours dressing up in high vis jackets and hard hats. The bloke doesn't even have the time to spend in fridges these days.
Just as they found Richard III's body under a car park 500 yrs after his death, in 500 years time they will find Emperor Bonko's remains cowering in a fridge. Immortalised with a blue top and some yoghurts.
Undoubtedly for an individual, family, company or a country, if your debt gets out of control... it rules you..you are hamstrung on what you can do. Capital investment (in pursuit of growth) for a country is, infrastructure, education and health. Plus strategic industries, say steel etc. Bond markets are happier with this. Having borrowing to support tax cuts is bonkers.... but is having borrowing for benefits the same ot different
The new Chancellor ffs ... ... what was Sunak saying about integrity and accountability "A charity founded by the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, paid more than £110,000 – two-thirds of its income – to his former political adviser Adam Smith, who lost his job over a lobbying scandal." "Hunt did not respond to a request for comment."
I hate Hunt as much as Jacob Rees Mogg and that’s saying something. I am sure he released a paper on how to privatise the NHS, but I will just check on that.
Beat me to it Blokes in their 60's and 70's being this emotional over him is incredible. They must go to bed thinking about Boris Johnson.
I'm sure it would have been far worse under Corbyn... https://www.theguardian.com/politic...tient-safety-watch-chief-executive-adam-smith A charity founded by the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, paid more than £110,000 – two-thirds of its income – to his former political adviser Adam Smith, who lost his job over a lobbying scandal. Patient Safety Watch, which was set up to research preventable harm in healthcare, paid Smith as its sole employee and chief executive about 66% of its income in the year ending January 2022.
Lobbying and Lobbist is completely open to corruption and should be stopped immediately, trouble is politicians are the beneficiary's of the corruption in a lot of cases.
To be fair, you've hundreds of posts on this thread, many about Boris ... ... probably more than any other thread you've ever posted on. But I don't think you, or anyone else, is flapping about his every move. He was forgotten about during the Truss debacle and only mentioned again when he was doing his usual attention seeking when she was kicked out. Once he realised he wasn't wanted, and didn't have the support, he pretended he knew he'd win but pulled out for the good of the country
[ Of course I do, it's a chat forum .... ... but it's not me having a dig at people for posting. It's also a wild exaggeration, no one is flapping or commenting on Boris's every move ... ... only the stupid things which explains the huge number posts
I used to love Rik Mayall's The New Statesman. A grotesque satire of Tory MP's and their outrageous antics thinking nobody could actually be that bad. Fast forward 30 years and the real life antics of current Tory MP's make Alan Beresford B'stard seem quite tame by comparison. Truth is stranger than fiction
The Christmas of 1998 will be seen by political pundits in years to come as the first crisis to assail the ‘New Labour’ government of Tony Blair. I myself, remember sitting at home, having just returned from a short walk with the dog, to find that Geoffrey Robinson had resigned. The following day a similar series of domestic events proceeded the fall of Peter Mandelson. Within days Charlie Whelan had cleared his desk too. Sadly, my golden retriever failed to understand why I was riveted to the television and radio for the rest of the week. This was the greatest of presents any student of politics could get since May 1997; senior members of Blair’s ‘whiter than white’ government turning out to be mired in sleaze. The on-going saga of Geoffrey Robinson had produced a Cabinet resignation, followed by a Treasury spin-doctor’s swift departure; the Conservatives were stunned, the media overjoyed and the general public intrigued. Are the Tories getting into your head. You are 22 years to late.
