Is he wrong though?, there was a shameless attempt by the Tory press to make a false equivalence between the masses of misdemeanours of the Partygate scandal and one occasion when Starmer had a beer at a work meeting and this is borne out by police investigations and the Sue Gray report.

Problem is it ****ing worked. Most people can’t see through it.

same with the “corbyn is an anti-smite communist” stuff.

The smear campaigns against labour work every single time

I don't know why anyone would believe that guy's sensationalist bullshit, you'd have to be deluded and gullible to swallow that.
More integrity and truth than the mail, telegraph, the sun and the rest of the tory supporting press. Deluded and gullible is the absolutely perfect description for those that give the fascist rags any credence.
 
In which he lays into the Mail for their day after day attacks as though beergate could somehow be aligned with booze culture of partygate. ****ing awful rag spouting total bollocks.


Was standing behind a woman in the corner shop today, who was buying The Mail. Took all my self restraint to stop myself saying “you know they’re lying to you, don’t you?”

What constitutes being part of “Britain’s Brexit loathing elite”?
I thought the Tories, their rich supporters and media friends, considered themselves to be “the elite”, and most of them have supported Brexit.

“The elite” in this context, used interchangeably with “woke”, means anyone not in a constant state of apoplexy over foreigners and gay marriage.
 
Oh boy... and they've got him on tape.

I think that we have not heard the last of Boris. I was nnot aware of this but the fall out from the Covid enquiry will ultimately prove to be really damaging. I am just wondering whether this latest issue is something which will lead to further prosecutions. If I am honest, I would not be in the least bot surprise if Boris nds up facing a criminal trial. At the least, I think he will end up being barred from holding any forieng office in the UK.

I caught the firdt half of a documentary on Zadawhi this evening and it will be fascinating if he beomes Prime Miister. I had no idea that he was mentored by effrey Archer. His business affairs have already been subject to a criminal investigation . There was an implication that some of the papers already have things on him beyond getting caught in the expenses scandal a few years back. I think he is a loose cannon but am hoping the press keep their poweder dry with all th candidates until someone has been elected.
