It seems they manage their own finances no better than the countries. Playing hard and fast with other people's money.

Excellent point.

And they claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility and everyone else wastes taxpayers money.

They don't even stop at our tax money - they appear to be able to waste donations too!

Will we see the suggestion of state funded parties again ?

Will this be Farages way in ?

I'm not sure whether to buy a fish supper or a has been right wing political party.

This with bells on, really wish the myth that the conservatives are the party of fiscal responsibility was well & truly busted, grifting even when out of power the grubby gits.
truly horrific the report of Rebecca’s murder, such evil wickedness.

I though peers couldn't introduce laws ?

Several bills used to start in the House of Lords. I am aware that Lord Falconer proposed one on euthanasia for example.

Her alleged biological dad has form for threatening behaviour (Darius Guppy and the journalist) and I would not put it past him to do so if she made any comments.

She still talks to Boris and his wonderful advice

her words, not mine

I'm sure she does.

Are all PM's offered a seat in the HoL? I wondered if we'd see Johnson, Truss and Sunak alongside Cameron & May at some point.

I can't believe that Johnson or Truss would be offered a peerage.

From the looks of it, they didn't even just waste our tax money, but our future tax money as well.

Mr Johnson allegedly also wanted his father to be honoured. This may have been a ruse to distract from the other nominations and get them through, of course.

Mr Johnson if it is true wanted to honour someone who assaulted his own mother such that hospital treatment was required.

Yes I heard about Stanley. Ridiculous.

Too bad BJ didn't feel any loyalty to his mother.

Cameron only got his from political expediency so he could be Foreign Secretary. Blair and Brown aren’t peers.

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.

Of course it's not true - what nonsense!

The man in your link hasn't provided any evidence that the Irish Independent referred to Charlotte Owen as Boris Johnson's daughter. 'John' tweets almost daily but he's only just decided to share this information three months after reading it??

SerendipityJane · 05/09/2024 20:44

Must be true if the have summoned the Clavster to deny it.

Ooh! I hadn't seen that about Owen. Since when is reporting on nepotism banned? Angry

When the story has been fabricated would be my guess.

Oh yes, just seen the clip - the Channel 4 presenter referred to 'lurid claims' and 'online fabrication of facts' made about her guest.

I think you should amend the title of this thread to Cats and Conspiracy Theories.
