The Politics Thread

The red wall might be being re-built!!

Writing in the Observer newspaper, Sir Bernard warned Mr Johnson that former Labour voters who gave the prime minister their backing at the last election will "dismiss him" unless he can show he is more open, transparent and different to the "out-of-touch elite".
"There is nothing wrong with a private citizen wanting to make money, but we have a system that has allowed the lines between public service and private gain to become blurred," Sir Bernard wrote, adding that it was "shameful".
He said there had been a "failure of successive governments" to be more transparent about the relationships between administrations and business.
 
Conservative looking for votes just knocked on my door.

I said I have already voted (postal)

Quite bizarrely (I think?) she said 'can I ask you how you voted?'

I said no

'No, not conservative?' she answered.

No, you can't ask me how I voted I replied.

Err..?
 
Downing Street has scrapped plans to launch new White House-style press conferences after spending £2.6m on a venue to host them.
The PM's media chief Allegra Stratton - who had been due to front the briefings - has confirmed the move to the BBC.

I don't think there is need for any further comment.

You might want to look one post higher!
 
Here you go Den, try posting this one instead.

Boris Johnson said he makes "no apology for moving heaven and earth" to get ventilators during the pandemic, amid a row over lobbying by Sir James Dyson.
In text messages seen by the BBC, the prime minister promised to "fix" tax changes Sir James wanted.

Yes. I need to get Johnsons mobile number actually. I don't fancy paying any tax this month and wonder if he can do me a favour.
 
Ha, the worm(s) really have turned on Johnson.

Dominic Cummings has launched a blistering attack on his old boss Boris Johnson, questioning his "competence and integrity".

The former top adviser denied leaking text messages sent between Mr Johnson and businessman Sir James Dyson.

And he claimed Mr Johnson had a "possibly illegal" plan for donors to pay for renovations of the Downing Street flat.

Cummings must have lots of material on almost all of them but I'd particularly love him to nail Gove-The-Freak.

As you can see I despise the cretin and the creepy way he conducts himself in public and when he's not in public the rumors about drink and drugs are eye-watering!?

I’ve posted a couple of times about all these cretins mainly Brexit related, but I think Gove will stab Boris in the back when he gets the chance as Boris stabbed him in the back. Cummings, Gove and Boris will get toxic, and Farage too will join on the criticism of them all to keep himself in the news as much as he can.

The dot that joins them all up is Brexit, and I’m sure they all had different ideas of what Brexit meant as it was very subjective. And that subjectivity will create both genuine rifts between them all, and fabricated ones to sell stories to papers.
