Clip from Angela Rayner and Kay Burley

Angela Rayner: "Greed & deregulation had been put before safety... & everyone dismissed the tenants concerns... it's about safety first & not profit first."

Also, if true...Charlotte Owen 😡😡😡

Johnson should be neutered - I'll pay.

Rayner is very good. She knows her breif inside out. She is very intelligent.

@cassiemaddox good too see you, lovely cats.

So CO is BJ's daughter. No surprise.

@Spandauer maybe start a gofundme for Johnson to have the snip 😁✂️🤭

I find it gobsmacking that Johnson who has 5 (or 6 with the Baroness), then go off and start all over again, now with 3 more. There's no reason why he might not repeat this again.

Is it a biological urge in his case, or thinking he is passing on some sort of legacy?
Poor sods

There's no reason why he might not repeat this again.

Well, there’s the fact that he’s incredibly unattractive. And that if Carrie divorced him she’d likely leave him penniless.

But he's always been incredibly unattractive and that hasn't stopped him!

Let's hope for the sake of those three little ones, he stops now.

@CassieMaddox really good too see you
Oh Lordy please let’s not think about Johnson procreating, must confess I have an irrational dislike of Carrie Johnson which isn’t very nice just something about her.

You're not on your own dontcallmelen.

That's just horrible @Spandauer such disrespect.

@BustingBaoBun where did you see that about CO / Ireland? Fascinating and shouldn't be allowed to be kept secret here in the country where it matters most.

This guy is now a Lord

This, from the guy who said he had a lunch to get to, feels pretty raw today.

The inquiry found that Lord Eric Pickles oversaw a culture focused on deregulation, where civil servants felt unable to raise concerns about fire safety. It was “not uncommon”, the report found, for the building regulations and standards division to receive emails thanking them for their efforts in meeting Lord Pickles’ “ambition on deregulation”.

It appears the Irish Independent called her Boris Johnson's daughter in June. It's not online but reading further down it was in a hard copy from 31 May to 3 June.

As I said, I can't confirm the veracity but it seems to be supressed over here.

Thank you Cassie, lovely cats. I've developed an allergy to cats in my later life so it's a particular pleasure to visit the MN Gallery, the Starmer Collection, and take vicarious pleasure in them.

We'd better not speculate on it, it will only get deleted.

I think its some weird supremacist thing - seems to be quite "in" with rich powerful men. At least he's not screening the embryos and using surrogates like some others, e.g. Musk and Durov (see here for some discussion)
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/31/elon-musk-x-brazil-telegram-pavel-durov

Both [Musk and Durov] labour under the apparent eugenicist belief that a man of superior intelligence has a duty to spread his seed as widely as possible – it was revealed earlier this year that Durov has fathered 100 children by sperm donation while Musk uses more traditional methods such as impregnating his employees.

It's quite fantastical really.

You might think that, I couldn’t possibly comment

Welcome back, @CassieMaddox , and those are some stunning cats! My ginger man says hi.

Or fill the finance black hole via a raffle to do the honours with a couple of house bricks?
though I suppose not many would want to get that close…

Thanks @DuncinToffee - that worked for me

From 2021.

The numbers are indeed mind boggling. I don’t think it’s possible to grasp the size of a billion, never mind multiples thereof.

On an entirely unrelated matter, I'm off to Spain this week and might check out some local news sites for interesting information.

Indeed. 3 times I did it in a spreadsheet - and still couldn't quite grasp it.

Eventually ran it by ChatGPT which matched my calculations.

Rich Hall once made a joke about if Bill Gates being richer than gravity - and that was 2011.

This isn't political, but God this is so shocking and upsetting. Trigger warning: extreme violence against Rebecca Cheptegei who competed in the Olympics, but has now died.

Michel Barnier new French PM. Another reason to be glad the Tories are in the bin- can you imagine?
