The previous thread filled up fast, so here's another one with a reasonably topical title!

I see Zak Goldsmith is getting a divorce. That may be interesting given yesterday's performance in which the gilt appeared to have fallen off the gingerbread even for fellow cultists.

Thanks for new thread.

Love the title.

That Matt Green clip sounds uncomfortably like the actual news.

Well, since we're talking truth and Tories - and while I positively boke at lauding a Tory - this is quite something from Penny Mordaunt.

Absolute slap-down of Bridgen

I'm only here for the pantomime. That's what our government does best these days.

The BBC has paused its decision to close the BBC Singers, after "a number of organisations" came forward to offer alternative funding.

NEW: Rishi Sunak bans media from Conservative party’s spring conference -

Notonthestairs · 24/03/2023 19:00

The Conference will be leaked by individual groups (Commonsense COns/CDC etc) with their own spin so I think that will be an own goal by Sunak.

Notonthestairs · 24/03/2023 19:00

Why the fuckity fuck should IEA boss - ie the one pushing Trussonomics - get an honour for supporting crashing the economy?
