Stop voting for fucking Tories

Government cut med school places by 30%
This year because they are expensive....no long term planning. Many of the candidates I know this year are just going to shove off and so something different

Another one for the; "who gives a fuck what happens after the next election", Pile !

The same cunts who rabbited on about becoming Singapore on Thames, or Innovation, or whatever bullshit was in their briefing papers that day; simultaneously deliberately harmed the primary schooling of millions, (the key years for STEM), & loaded up 3rd level debt, to the point where students are forced to opt out of 3rd level, in their best subject, because they just can't afford it.

Add to this; creating a hostile environment for any foreign Post-Grads, shitting the bed for Horizon Europe funding program, & doing nothing significant to replace Erasmus, & who can blame the young for just telling the >60 year olds to go fuck themselves, & work out for themselves who's going to provide care for them, & wipe their arses for the rest of their lives, because they are going to do what their Grandparents did with Brexit, & look after number one !

It was interesting to see the Govester trash Dizzy Lizzys financial fantasies today. I suppose it isn't surprising, because people have been commenting for the last couple of years, that this isn't the time to be PM.

It feels increasingly like the brighter ones in the Tory Party, are positioning themselves to be in the next Leadership race, because (a) this one is done, & (b) the life expectancy of Liz's is about the same as one of those Goldfish you win at the Fair; & after that, even if Labour win, they'll be under enormous pressure from inside, & out, & I wouldn't be shocked if they only lasted 2-3 years.

In summary; shit time to be PM for the next 3-4 years, & even the Bumblecunt will be fancying his chances of being the next Tory Leader

Yes, it was pretty obvious right from the beginning that no one with anything about them, either good or bad, had any interest in this race. It's a very temporary position

Don't count your chickens

Tory leadership frontrunner Liz Truss could give the government a double-figure bounce in the polls once she is installed in No 10, according to internal Labour analysis.
A memo drawn up by Keir Starmer’s director of strategy, Deborah Mattinson, claimed the foreign secretary could dramatically improve Conservative fortunes.
The document, dated 18 August and leaked to the Guardian, comes amid speculation that Truss could be tempted to capitalise on the upswing and call a snap general election.

The biggest surprise in that list is that Thames Water isn't higher up the table; they usually seem to top most of these lists of shame.

TBF to Thames Water, sewage dumping into the Thames should be reduced massively once the Thames Tideway project has been completed in 2025.

A study published in BMJ Open in 2017 linked austerity to 120,000 extra deaths in England, primarily as a result of a reduction in the number of nurses. Another study put it at 130,000.

I mean dismiss it as wibble..but it is murder, murder for a taxcut..you don't have to put any effort into discovering these facts. But hey if you want to just dismiss murder (for a taxcut) for people with a civilised outlook.people who actually think about these things...it will take a lot of effort...a lot of ignorance..effort and ignorance you lot refuse to put in..or are too lazy to foister..so hey.. just shout wibble.

I would suggest there is little argument that the current Gov policies strike a balance between profit/enriching the rich and the health of the nation that is ever so slightly biased in favour of profit and the rich! Whether it is underfunding the NHS, keeping pensions and UC below the levels required to live healthily, dumping polio and e-coli rich sewage into our rivers and seas, refusing to put in place legislation to ensure housing is habitable, subsidising big business labour costs by topping up wages or using the old 'nanny state' argument to stop implementing sensible PH policies to prevent smoking, obesity, etc - they are all designed to ensure profits get bigger, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and less healthy. The enrichment of their buddies during the covid pandemic was just the prime example of how profit trumps public health for this Gov. Retrospective studies looking at hard data such as the ones quoted above just prove the point. I suspect the public have reached tipping point with all the shit in the rivers and seas and realise this Gov are taking the piss, literally.

Look, I just think we need and have to quantify the amount of poor sick and unemployed people Lizz truss will deem acceptable to kill.

. I reckon Lizz truss at a extremely modest and meek estimate..thinks 500 thousand poor sick and unemployed people is acceptable.
She went to Maths Camp..she talks with a posh accent that goes up at the end..I reckon she thinks 500 thousand people's lives ain't worth living.
Tax cuts all round for the deaths of 500 Thousand People.

She isn't as narcissistic as Torq..or Jacob Rees Mogg who hate litteraliy everyone and who both fly off into narcissistic rage..and who are discovering depths of pompous, arrogance only experienced in wild fiction..and who believe everyone should suffer whilst they furiously wank off in the corner....but that ain't saying much.
So I reckon 500 thousand preventable deaths in two years...whilst people like Torq, Lizz, Iain et'al really give them a good ole narcisistic telling off....for being born.
Thank you...betters.

It's all Thick Lizzie's fault

The Tory leadership frontrunner, Liz Truss, was responsible for cutting millions of pounds of funding earmarked for tackling water pollution during her time as environment secretary, the Guardian can reveal.
Truss, who was in charge at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) between 2014 and 2016, oversaw “efficiency” plans set out in the 2015 spending review to reduce Environment Agency funding by £235m.
This included a £24m cut from a government grant for environmental protection, including surveillance of water companies to prevent the dumping of raw sewage, between 2014-15 and 2016-17, according to the National Audit Office.

From the MD of EDF. Meanwhile the bunch of useless cunts in government are busy inspecting their navels or jockeying for a job with Thick Lizzie

We face, despite the support that the government has already announced, a dramatic and catastrophic winter for our customers.
In fact, in January half of the UK households might be in fuel poverty. That’s the reason why we want to take actions in order to do everything we can do in order to help our customers.

They won't though. Opinion polls for the government in winter are going to be absolutely brutal and their line won't hold. They'll freeze the cap (I reckon at a very uncomfortable £3000).

The Tory Twats are obviously holding back any planned help on the basis that their shiny new PM Truss will come riding in on her white charger and rescue the poor public with, in her words, a hand out that will save the day. However I suspect they will underestimate the scale of the problem and just make matters worse. The damage has done, the shit in the sea has consigned them to being flushed away pretty quickly now.

I think they're holding back because during the leadership election the PM as well as being incredibly lazy really has no power so I doubt he could do anything even if he wanted to (which he doesn't).

This is my new thing. I’ve joined 3 local campaign groups in the last couple of weeks and volunteering my time and political networks to help where I can. The state of our seas and waterways makes me fume and it’s doesn’t seem to me to be a particularly difficult thing to sort out of there was any will.

In saying that, seeing the fucking state of the beach the morning after a warm night makes me wonder how many people actually give a shit, it’s quite depressing

Good on you.

On your final point, I read some interesting theories by people recently that there's a sense of "giving up" leading to a breakdown in the social contract. England's government hasn't bothered to do jack shit for the people for a long time, everyone feels like life is getting worse and that there's no real hope, and as a result there's no pride in the country or the environment. It's quite a nihilistic viewpoint but having spent a bit of time abroad and in some of England's less populous areas the difference is stark; England is fucking depressing.

So as well as being party to the current shit storm in our rivers and around our coastline because of all her her cuts at DEFRA, Truss was also fucking useless at the MoJ.
Well, according to the venerable Tory ex speaker and lawyer Lord Mackay

After serving as environment secretary, Truss spent a year as justice secretary and lord chancellor. Her performance in that job has also come under fire too. In an interview with the House magazine to mark his retirement from the House of Lords at the age of 95, Lord Mackay of Clashfern, a very distinguished former Conservative lord chancellor, said that non-lawyers like Truss and Chris Grayling were not suited to the role. He went on:

I don’t know that Liz Truss had any idea of how legal aid was done either, when she was lord chancellor and justice secretary. You really need to know something about it.

[tabascoboy]

[SaintK]

So the Wicked Witch of Witham has come out of hiding and wants to to remain as Home Secretary

But Priti Patel, the current home secretary, wants to remain in her post, and in an interview with Sky’s Jason Farrell she has made her case to stay. Asked if she wanted to keep her job, she replied:
That’s the choice of the next leader. But the fact of the matter is this party was elected with a very clear manifesto commitment to beat crime, cut crime, but also deliver 20,000 more police officers. I think my record in that time speaks volumes.

Her record
No mention of her abject failure to stem the flow of immigrants which she vowed to do. According to reports her and Truss have never got along so she'll probably be demoted to Party Chairman where her dog whistle policies will be better received
