Squeeeee! You picked mine!

I wonder whether this thread is going to fill faster than the last given how much more discontent we have yet to come. Not to mention the kicking the anti strike bill is going to get in the Lords.

Oh, a leadership campaign. That's nice.

Fladdermus · 04/02/2023 20:26

Launching what?

AdamRyan · 04/02/2023 20:29

Hello. Totally missed the last thread so getting in early on this one

jgw1 you mentioned Mansour on a different thread

Inside billionaire Tory treasurer's cosy dinners to link wealthy VIPs with ministers
Those daft Tory Party ads trying to whip up worry/ anger at Labour Union donations (made up from subscriptions of millions of workers)?

Well. This is just 1 man

Mr Mansour offered to bail the Tories out of a £25 million black hole, after donors deserted the party. Donations dropped by 45% in the third quarter of 2022, according to Electoral Commission figures.

It was just unfortunate that a small number of City wankers didn't understand her genius economic policy. If only it had been slightly more clearly communicated it would have been an utter trussterfuck.

Did she mean 'lunching' maybe?

Or maybe she's enrolled as a space cadet?

Chevyimpala67 · 04/02/2023 20:50

Jesus suffering fuck

I think without doubt she is already a fully trained up space cadet.

Chevyimpala67 · 04/02/2023 20:58

I'm convinced she was pretty heavily medicated by the end of her term of office...the wide eyed stare, constant blinking, stuttering...

Chevyimpala67 · 04/02/2023 21:00

....that car crash interview on the bbc....just dreadful

Notonthestairs · 04/02/2023 21:04

Thanks for the new thread.

So Mansour is financially propping up the Conservative Party to the tune of £25 million AND arranging cosy dinner parties for business people to quiz ministers about policy off the record?

Integrity, professionalism and accountability 🙄

Roussette · 04/02/2023 21:06

Thx Dunc 👍🙂

Notonthestairs · 04/02/2023 21:15

Surprise!

Only a quarter of the 40 hospital construction projects that were at the heart of Boris Johnson’s 2019 general election manifesto have secured full planning permission, the Observer can reveal, amid angry claims from NHS figures that there is no chance the schemes will be delivered on time.
Ministers have repeatedly claimed that the hospitals will be delivered by 2030, despite concerns from health chiefs and economists that “woefully insufficient” funding and rising costs will scupper the plan and put NHS capacity at risk.

You make her sound like a missile. A misguided missile.

unguided and very distructive.

Thank you @DuncinToffee for taking the responsibility for naming the new thread. Good choice.
And so the saga continues.

DuncinToffee · 04/02/2023 22:44

Oops I hadn't even noticed that I missed out 'comeback campaign'

Anyway she has written an 4000 word essay in the Telegraph claiming she was brought down by the left-wing economic establishment Grin
