It's only hypocrisy if you aren't a Tory, Cleverly:

“ I will accept gifts from time to time - the problem is not the gifts. It’s the stench of hypocrisy .. “

He’s a hoot, isn’t he?

Miriam Cates, yet another golden girl of the FWR board… she who thinks women don’t necessarily need an education, especially not a university one and need to have more children.

And started the trope about cultural Marxism (dogwhistle for anti semitism). These lot are so enmeshed with the US Christian alt right it’s unbelievable.

Yes. But you can't mention that. Even when they are very blatantly taking alt right money and speaking at alt right conferences.
Many many days I feel quite gaslit by the "centre right".

I went on the BBC politics home page at lunchtime and every single story was about the Tories.
The media are addicted to psychodrama

Well that's one space that can't be peddling crap about Labour freebies then.

Suggesting the Right Wing Media are as bright as the subjects they follow.

The poll of polls also always worth a look - Labour still have a very commanding lead.

I'm starting to appreciate how the Brexiteers felt now. All this negativity constantly is just depressing

That doesn't fit in with the MN Tory rhetoric that Labour's popularity has plummeted, does it? How inconvenient!

The news from the middle east is terrifying 😱

DuncinToffee · 01/10/2024 18:03

WTF

Kemi Badenoch says between 5-10% of civil servants “are very, very bad. You know, should be in prison bad.” She lists leaking official secrets, undermining their ministers and agitating.

There are about 500,000 full time civil servants. Even taking the 5% figure, on this basis that means the former Business Secretary thinks around 25,000 civil servants should be in jail. (Lewis Goodall)

I don’t think we have enough cells for that. Might have to let some murderers go.

Well that's one way to distract from the excessive maternity pay gaffe.

It really is & the escalation is extremely frightening.
thank you all for the updates of the Tory Fucwit contenders think they have all gone collectively totally & utterly bonkers (or most likely more than they were pre election) I’m off on holiday for a week will actually be more thankful than usual in not hearing or reading what more moronic nonsense the leadership hopefuls come out with.

Just in case anyone is interested (me!) the Walz-Vance debate is on CBS tonight (2am British Summer Time)

Listening to her on Radio 4. She doesn't like being challenged does she?

Not sure what was going on but I came into the lounge after my shower, switched on ITV to hear Susanna Reid telling Farage you can't just make stuff up and state it as fact and he knows that. Just before this he walked them (Reid and Balls) if they knew something and they answered "yes" and he said they were lying and didn't.

Really wish I knew what it was about but it was clear Farage has gone even further than he normally does with his "truth talking".

I listened to the end of it, she was really getting annoyed with Mishal who was polite but firm.

Farage giving strong "You made me tell lies" vibes.

Farage giving strong "You made me tell lies" vibes.

And that if the police and government had listened to him, the riots would not have been so bad.

I don't know why they were giving him airtime in the first place.
