Dr Strangelove (how I learned to stop worrying and love Boris)

If you don’t know how much her total income how can you dismiss my claims

 

She'll have saved a few quid by getting the taxpayer to get her earpods for her.

Yes, I know it's not a lot in the grand scheme of expenses jiggery pokery, but it's such an easy win to not do it.

 

Not do it, those words aren’t in their vocabulary.

 

Exactly, she sits in the “I preach socialism but love capitalism and the benefits when it suits me “ group
In my opinion

 

So Sunak has been owned for hiding his family perks. This is the reason why a tax dodging millionaire Winchester school boy with a swimming pool and California holiday home chooses to have influence over economic decisions.

 

The Tories preach socialism just as much tbf, 'levelling up' etc ...

... they just know they're lying.

Go Rishi son

 

Aye hypocrites the vast majority, is it too much to ask for a honest straight talking politician

 

Just for the record,i do also like the benefits of capitalism when i can afford them,we all do if we honest,just that I’m not preaching the working class hero rhetoric

 

Plenty of room for capitalism and socialism for me, they arent mutually exclusive, at least they dont need to be in the modern world.

 

Well there is no "trick" or "ambiguity" there to judge him by. It has NEVER been worse

 

But, but it's being reported by the BBC and they have a vendetta against the Tory party ...

.... what's that you say, they're official government figures, doh

 

You’re right marra,problem being they are both ridiculed,exploited,and abused by everyone but the true working class

 

Well there is that, but "It would have been worse under Jeremy Corbyn"

 

Cant disagree with that mate. Each is seen as some sort if badge of dishonour, by those 'on the other side'.

 

Some people don't have sides mate ...

... I have a policy of criticising the government of the day, not yesterday or tomorrow.

The Greens, Labour, Liberals, etc, can say whatever they wish but only the current administration can hurt or help me.

 

I know mate, and respect that, if not necessarily agreeing. I think a good opposition makes for a better govt, but we have been over that before and can agree to disagree.

Too many people though I think do have sides. I am guilty at times, not so much on political parties, but my own ideology. I think we are probably as divided as I can ever recall, and nobody, whether politicians, media or big business leaders seem keen on bringing us closer in terms of acceptance. I worry more for my kids than me to be honest, I think we are on a pretty slipery slope towards a win at all costs political system, that may never recover.

 

With such a massive majority, and ever changing PM, I don't really think that's relevant at the moment.

All the opposition put together can't make much difference.

 

So politicians received £180,000 of free hospitality this summer. Are they so utterly stupid to think this is a good look, or are they all so detached from any kind of reality, I think both. Whether they be criticised as being open to influence, or just enjoying the high life in a cost of living crisis, it is plain stupid on their part.
