    Sorry to say they are, every single one has presided over the **** show we now have.
    None of them have a backbone to stand up for the electorate and deliver even basic support.

    Significantly helping the homeless would lose the Tories votes ...

    ... sad but true.

    And even if you're fortunate/ clever enough to be able to work in a suit, always remember - your Dads, Granddads and beyond worked in boiler suits. Always.

    My Dad was clever enough to work anywhere. Our generation has the chance to give people like us a leg up.

    Get with the times Monty mate. We wear chinos, trainers, oxford shirts and a blazer now <laugh><laugh>

    Bit of a ramble. My bosses boss is really focussed on wearing a tie if you have any sort of senior job. For the fellas only of course. Now pre covid I would always have a suit and tie on. In fact I used to be a bit of a tie connosieur. Still have about 50 hanging up. Now I refuse to even wear a decent pair of shoes. I am a chinos, shirt and jacket bloke. Usually with a pair of comfy trainers. I probably look a right clip to be fair. Whenever I go to meet the big boss I am the only one without a tie. In fact there is only another 2 or 3 I know who wont put a suit on anymore. I always get the same dopey comment about dressing down to which I never respond. I do sit smugly with my open collar watching all the dafties fidgeting at theirs because they have literally took it off a hanger in their office and put it on before going to see the main man. Idiotic the way way we have been conditioned over the years in my opinion to wear certain gear for work. All that said I do still have my dinner suit and it comes out regularly still, and I have to say I quite like dressing up in that. I am still an idiot after all it seems <laugh><laugh>

    You sound like me mate, when I used to go to meetings to talk to other companies I would take all my paper work in a carrier bag and it was definitely frowned upon. Anyway at Xmas the company bought me a new leather briefcase and a Filofax as all my notes and phone numbers were just on bits of paper in my pocket.

    I was in uniform for my last 32 years of working FellTop, Apart from 16 months when I went into a suit to boost my pension and then insisted on going back to the unified ranks.
    Got loads of stick for it, but I never had any intention of continuing in a suit and the substantial boost in my pension was worth the stick.

    I do love pulling the shirt and tie brigade to bits.

    I may have said 'does your tie trump my thirty years of operational experience' once or twice already....

    This bunch of thieves are inventive if nothing else. Boris found a new way of describing his Partygate lies, now another of his chums has come up with two new ones <doh>

    "The Conservative peer, Baroness Mone has admitted making an "error" in her responses to press inquires, and has said that she regrets not initially telling the media of her involvement with the company.

    She says she initially denied involvement due to legal advice.

    In the PPE Medpro-funded documentary, which outlines Michelle Mone and her husband's version of events, the Conservative peer denies defrauding the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and insists that ministers were always aware of her links to PPE Medpro."!

    Mark Francois chairman of the ERG, 5 tory backbench groups, have issued a Star Chamber report stating that the Rwanda bill provides a partial and incomplete solution to the problem of legal challenges and therefore Sunak Rwanda bill doesn't go far enough. Therefore advising the government to pull the bill.

    Further announcement at 6pm meeting.

    Supreme Chancellor Drakeford has resigned.

    I was expecting him to announce Wales' reorganisation into the first Galactic Empire.

    Brilliant interview by Mone and Barrowman.
    Didn’t realise how difficult it’s been for them trying to hide their involvement in the Medro fiasco.
    Life’s been destroyed for them for 2 years apparently.

    Poor woman. Perhaps she should contact Captain Tom's daughter Hannah Ingram - Moore. She and her family have suffered much the same trauma. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I see they used the classic schoolboy excuse, 'A bigger boy told me to do it' ...

    ... that £60m, in your bank, came from us you thieving c*nts.

    And let’s pray the Labour Party go flat out to get every penny back + interest.

    Calculating that much “ cash in your own pocket” at such a time for such a purpose is obscene and pure uncaring greed by people who are already minted. It doesn’t for one moment fall into her claim that they offered to “ help out”

    I liked the labour guy who said she was badly advised, who thought it was a good idea to make the interview?

    And we should be chasing everyone else as well. Not just those on the opposite side.
