According to the Times, the Tories are going to attack Starmer for being a lefty lawyer in their election campaign Confused

This is not going to be a very positive election campaign from the Tories, it it?

BIossomtoes · 16/12/2023 13:34

It can’t be really. They have nothing positive to say, no achievements to point to, just years of unmitigated shit.

tobee · 16/12/2023 15:40

Well they've tried framing it as a new start etc but the electorate aren't that dumb that they don't realise that the Tories have been in power for 13 years

Notonthestairs · 16/12/2023 17:12

Oh is it time for another reset?
I guess its been atleast a month since the last one.

itsgettingweird · 16/12/2023 17:20

That long?

Is that why he loses his whatsapples? Too many resets.

Notonthestairs · 16/12/2023 17:21

Yeah you are probably right - a fortnight (that just felt like a month!) 😁

Given the Last Leg thing I’d say there’s a good chance that there are 1 or 2 people that are that stupid and 1 of them is an MP.

Only one?

RafaistheKingofClay · 17/12/2023 01:54

At least 1. But it does take a special level of stupid to think Suella launching a small boat for a company that doesn’t exist is a good idea.

This has made me feel quite queasy this morning.

Prime clowns today. We will be honoured by the presence of 👑 Baron and Baroness Mone 👑 offering 'explanations' of their part in covid 💰 💰 💰 on Laura K at 9. Curtseys please for the newly ennobled, just what is needed for getting anyone going on a Sunday morning.

Zonder · 17/12/2023 07:52

Of all days this is when we need LK to stay home and leave it to Victoria Derbyshire.

newnamethanks · 17/12/2023 07:58

That photo is utterly revolting. Sunak has no political sense at all, he needs to bugger off to CalTech ASAP and annoy some Americans instead of us.

I am absolutely furious that the BBC sent out LauraK and a team to interview Mone. And I have tweeted accordingly (lots of likes on that!)

She has already produced her own self pitying pathetic video paid for by us via PPEMedpro

Who is that? Carrie?

pointythings · 17/12/2023 08:53

AdamRyan · 17/12/2023 08:49

Who is that? Carrie?

It's Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy and fellow extreme right winger. This is the woman who has banned gay couples from adopting since coming to power and who has implemented legislation to make existing same sex parents not have the same parental rights. This isn't a good look.

BIossomtoes · 17/12/2023 08:57

I should have said who it is, sorry. I can’t believe Sunak is so bloody stupid as to put himself in the position whereby that picture is even possible. He’s literally embracing fascism.

EXCL: Rishi Sunak intervened to stop officials scrapping £40 million contract that provides him with “VIP” helicopter rides

MoD planned to spend cash elsewhere

But head of RAF Squadron which runs choppers says this was “reversed at the request” of the PM

Defence source confirmed reversal came at Sunak’s request shorty after Grant Shapps replaced Ben Wallace.

He did with his speech as well

But Dowden is trying to tell us he didn't mean it that way.

Meloni, Oban, Bannon, lovely people to party with

This is gobsmacking. Mone and her husband are absolutely shameless. Sat there quite brazenly saying they made £60M from the deal. And they cannot justify lying... try as they might. Months and months of lying, telling the public they had nothing to do with the Company and saying it was libel to say they were. Until they fessed up.

Doug Barrowman then saying the £60M is in the Isle of Man for the benefit of his family. And he didn't buy the yacht with it. I have now realised their defence. It's his money. Not hers. That's what they're saying.

They are absolutely shameless, the pair of them.

IClaudine · 17/12/2023 10:11

But Mone was just protecting her family when she lied to the public. Because, poor thing, she was under the spotlight as soon as she entered the Lords. Boo bloody hoo.

L1ttledrummergirl · 17/12/2023 10:16

The pair them should voluntarily repay the money and fuck off to prison for twenty years if they feel any repentance.

They won't. They are the lowest of the low, but feel above the law because they have money.

IClaudine · 17/12/2023 10:40

How do people like this live with themselves? Such greed. It is stomach churning.

TrashedSofa · 17/12/2023 10:52

Utter fucking filth.
