Something tells me this guy isn’t much of a grafter. Hopefully time is up for these entitled cunts and their culture war fuelling. And blimey the Dories video mentioning downstreaming movies and tennis pitches.

Rees Mogg is one of the worst sort of politicians. He cultivates an image of someone stuck in the 19th century and presumably his constituents like it. He is a really evil cunt and when pressed his mask drops.

He was one of the protagonists behind the illegal proroguing of parliament // lying to the Queen fiasco. His love of imperial measures  rather than metric does not help British exporters in the 21st century..The way he moved his hedge fund to Dublin once his much cherished Brexit was achieved demonstrated his duplicity. The fact that he is often wheeled out to support Johnson when he is under pressure (remember his dissing of the Scottish leader) and his dismissal of Partygate as a pieced of fluff demonstrates that he is one of the Tories who, if there is any justice in this world, will lose his seat at the next election.

He also ignores the hybrid working arrangements that many private and independent employers have put in place to attract and retain talent eg Deloitte, HSBC, IBM, Slack, Top Uk Universities etc in his desperation to carry on the culture war this lame duck government has waged. Then I don’t suppose he understands productivity when he’s has had nanny, and various other minions running around after him all of his pampered life. Although he at least has that in common with most of the cabinet including the PM.

The Rees-Mogg family had £7.7million of taxpayer money to renovate his home, and as a multi-millionaire he moved his financial interests out of the UK to benefit from Brexit, so he's happy - and clearly a man of the people, entirely in touch with life in the UK.

He has not a clue about food banks, people struggling to pay energy bills or the thousands of small businesses tied down by export red tape - and as he is personally pocketing a huge Brexit bonus, he doesn't give a flying fuck.

Yeah and just the sort of chap to represent the northern red wall. Staggering these people fool the bootlickers. Puny little must weigh about 7 stone. Real man’s man and natural leader.

To be fair, Chew Magna and Midsomer are still stuck in the 19th century.  The Wurzels songs are basically written about the area and not a lot has changed in 100+ years.

I don’t like Angela Rayner at all but that’s sick and the journalist that authored that needs sacking. Just because it’s been suggested to him through the fog of a skinful of booze in the HoC bar by a couple of pervert MPs doesn’t mean it should ever be in print. Cowards won’t even stand by their story now https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61208037

Even when you think these fuckers are actually behaving a little more honourably it is clearly with no sincerity. Thanks intern

Threatening to privatise the passport service. Yeah get Capita or Serco in there with all their efficiencies will transform it. Clueless cunts responsible for cutting everything and won’t take responsibility for when they get dreadful services.

It's not about efficiencies, it's about how much can be creamed off as performance related bonuses by the directors and senior managers. Tories look after their mates.

I'll leave you with that thought...

And Carillion collapse. This blog articulates the dogma well - Labour got obsessed with PFI which was just as bad. Moronic for this government to keep making the same mistakes and expect a different result. East Coast Mainline Rail too - makes healthy surplus as public entity, thumping loss as private. But as Badger says below, if the aim for their donors to cream off from the taxpayer (see Covid PPE on a grand scale) then job done https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/what-carillions-collapse-tells-us-about-public-sector-outsourcing/

Of course it could be a lot worse. Raynor could be a real sleazeball and could :

 

Have 6,7 or 8 kids from 3,4 or 5 different mothers.

Have had an affair with  and given backhanders to an American lap pole dancer.

Have left her husband whilst he was undergoing cancer treatment to shack up with a bimbo just over half her age. 

 

I wonder if the Mail on Sunday can run a feature on  a politician like that.

You seem to be suggesting Boris has no morals.

I wonder if there is anyone left in the country that isn't already aware of that?

The Government policy and procedures for discharging elderly patients from hospitals to care homes at the start of the pandemic have been ruled unlawful by the High Court.

And they are still defending the policy on the grounds of ignorance, when literally everyone was telling them it was a terrible idea.

Matt Hancock arguing he didn't know enough about the virus so it wasn't his fault.

Absolutely fucking despicable.

People harp on that Blair should face war crimes. Well this lot should be up on multiple manslaughter charges. They knew the exact outcome it would have and didn’t give a flying fuck.

So finally you are beginning to realise that all politicians are lying, conniving, self serving hypocrites.

I see that one of the friends of cabinet given VIP lane access to supply and profiteer from unusable PPE has been raided by the police...

What imaginary report will we be waiting on to delay and shut down that investigation?

This could expose the corruption at the highest level if it's allowed to proceed.

It would be nice to know where all of our money ended up - and who gave it away, and what they got in return.

Depends whether you go with the Daily Mail or the Daily Mirror Batman. Clearly in your case the Mail. Interesting that the Tory MP kicking off about Starmer did exactly the same thing a week before. Who is looking like a bellend?

The Tories are getting desperate now, I think they should just move on so Labour can get on with the important work of holding this rotton government to account.

People don't want to hear about currys and pizza they want to hear about solutions to the Tory cost of living crisis, bent PPE deals and resolving the Ukraine invasion.

Yeah genuinely funny how desperate the Daily Mail are but then here we see evidence of the useful idiots lapping it up. Pathetic that BBC feel obliged to discuss for fear of not being balanced.

Local elections next week and the DM are printing desperate front page smear stories about Labour.

Who could possibly have predicted that 🙄

It is the Mail, the other right wing papers haven’t seen any mileage in it. With the change of editor, a lot more dyed in the wool party activists infiltrating pretending to be journalists and you can see it in the last few weeks, making Conservative Home look like the New Statesman. Once upon a time it was the most critical of all papers about Boris when May was PM, now if it goes brow noses any further it will find Boris’s intestines.

Will make zero difference to the results as most of the Mail’s mostly over-65 readers aren’t voting for anyone else and they’ve alienated the rest of society with the Rayner stuff, which is why the public other than the usual single brain cell brigade aren’t taking much notice either as the weekend’s story went down like a cup of cold sick. 

They can blame it on the MOS but it’s same rotten culture that’s blown in post-Geordie Greig. I don’t have any time for Angela Rayner but some of the reporting showed how shallow the current Tory ‘party of working class’ is. She is working class and the content directly attacked that from an Etonian perspective. Or in the Mail’s case, where they wish they’d gone to school, but Daddy could only afford the local grammar.

So Neil Parish “may” have opened and looked at porn “by mistake” in the Commons but he won’t know if it was a mistake until the inquiry tells him if it was or wasn’t. The bar just keeps getting lower. The days when MPs did the honourable thing and resigned are long gone. Now they stick it out as long as they can in the hope that it will all blow over or that something will happen to save their sorry arses. As has been said many times, a fish rots from the head down and they take their example from the PM. The Tories are trying to spread the muck wider in the hope that poor behaviour will be seen as a cross party issue. Clearly it isn’t just the preserve of the Tory Party but it is hard to think of a PM, cabinet and party who have racked up so many incidents of questionable behaviour and decision making than this one. Johnson always wanted to go down in history as another Churchill. Sadly for him and the country he will be remembered, but for all the wrong reasons.

Johnson has many of Churchill's attributes, including stubbornness in the face of all contradictory evidence, racism, and a refusal to admit mistakes or errors. WSC was no paragon, in fact if it weren't for WW2, ( during which he made several disastrous decisions ), and the ousting of Neville Chamberlain after the invasion of France in 1940, he may well have lived out his life as an outcast in the political wilderness.

Johnson accused of breaking covid rule. Guy is a fat lying useless scumbag who should resign NOW. I could see my great aunties, cousins, nephews 28th birthday because of rules they made then broke. I demand answers and resignations 

 

kier Starmer accused of breaking covid rules. How desperate are the tories. no one wants to hear about pizza and beer, they should let labour get on with their jobs.it’s not the same. but but but the tories broke the rules as well. 

You lot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I see the Mail and Express are doing their level best again today to try and deflect from the awful mess the Tories are making from running the country. The Express going as far as saying that we are not bothered by Partygate any more (described by Rees-Mogg as “fluff”) as if we can’t focus on more than one major issue at a time. Well, everyone I listen to radio phone in shows or watch current affairs shows like QT, Partgate clearly hasn’t gone away nor people’s anger and the public clearly want action taken. I just hope that people turn out to the polls next week and give this bunch the hiding they deserve, not that anything will change. Johnson will say he has listened to the public and will make changes, but nothing will change. He will carry on lying and being useless whilst everything turns to shit around him. I don’t know what is worse, the fact that he and his crap cabinet are still here or that some people still insist on supporting them in the face of overwhelming evidence that they are morally bankrupt and useless at their jobs. If they get themselves voted back in at the next General Election there is truly no hope for this country.

Tory supporting papers, supporting The Tories. Shocker 😂😂

Do you understand the difference between a General Election and local elections? People like you are half the problem with local accountability in this country. You’re too dopey to separate the two.
