Sunak breaches the MPs Code of Conduct in failing to declare his wife's financial interest in a childminding company that is in line for a transfer from the public purse, but because the breache was "out of confusion', no punishment is given.
Corrupt to the core, a fucking carpetbagger.

What an abject failure the education system is in this Country the SE and London really do not even give the rest the scraps from their table.
Six Educations Secretaries in 4 years tells us how important schooling is to this Tory government nearly 70% of whom went to public school!

If the grade boundaries were the same as last year it would have been all 9s
Now for A levels

She plans to study medicine - It's a tough path but she wants to be a surgeon. Just seen a very moving video of her and her friends opening their results and all bursting into tears - thankfully tears of joy for each other. She did marginally better than expected - moved her Physics grade from a 6 in her mocks to a 9. All her friends did well too.Biffer wrote: Thu Aug 24, 2023 9:25 pmOnly joshing man. Glad she did well. Get her studying engineering, we’re massively short in every discipline.
She'll be doing Biology, Chemistry and Psychology at A Levels.

If I inadvertently exceeded the speed limit I am not entirely sure that would count as an excuse when I was caught on the speed camera ... sorry Judge I didnt realise it was a 40 zone when I was doing 60! I am not entirely sure why a so called financial expert who worked in the industry for years can claim he inadvertently broke the rules when an unemployed person who if caught putting in a false claim 'inadvertently would get clobbered!C69 wrote: Thu Aug 24, 2023 3:15 pmWho hasn't earned millions because of inadvertent errors when providing information about financial interests.Hal Jordan wrote: Thu Aug 24, 2023 2:57 pm Sunak breaches the MPs Code of Conduct in failing to declare his wife's financial interest in a childminding company that is in line for a transfer from the public purse, but because the breache was "out of confusion', no punishment is given.

So the twat Bowie is out today shouting about the great Tory achievement in getting the price cap lowered but forgets to mention that the standing charge is increasing and will essentially almost wipe out all the price cap savings. Of course the increase in standing charge will hit low power users which essentially means the poor. Oh and guess where the electricity standing charge is highest ... certainly not London! They really are a bunch of cunts!

When you know you're going to get smashed at the next election, double your handouts
When you know you're going to get smashed at the next election, double your handouts

Payments for MPs who lose their seats or step down at the next general election will be doubled.
The money is aimed at helping ex-MPs close down their offices and manage the departure of their staff.
At the last general election departing MPs were paid for two months after losing their seats.
However, IPSA, which sets the rules for MPs' expenses, has said this is not long enough and that the time period should be increased to four months.
The eligibility for the payments has also been expanded to cover those who voluntarily stand down at the election as well as those who lose their seat.

The current list of MPs not standing at the next election is at 52. Mostly Cons.

She angry

Since you took office a year ago, the country is run by a zombie Parliament where nothing meaningful has happened. What exactly has been done or have you achieved? You hold the office of Prime Minister unelected, without a single vote, not even from your own MPs. You have no mandate from the people and the Government is adrift. You have squandered the goodwill of the nation, for what?

"Meaningful", could be fucking the Economy for a generation, or destroying a host a native industries; & "nothing" could be, not implementing a bonfire of regulations that protect workers. On the whole his nothing has been far less damaging that the bumblecunts something

They had votes from some people who always vote Tory and did so again despite strong reservations about Johnson's lack of character, some people who disliked Johnson but thought Corbyn a far greater risk again, and some people who were thick enough to think Boris would (even could) get Brexit done, and some people who were sick of hearing about Brexit. Within the 30% or so who voted for Boris there was surely some goodwill, but even if one goes heavy on such claims, even Boris Johnson heavy, you'd be at 20% of the nation.
Did get me thinking, how long is an MP able to go AWOL on full salary before a recall petition or whatever happens to boot them out.

Good stuff from Labour here. A tax policy that benefits asset ownership over, you know, labour is here to stay.
Only difference between Sunak's Tories and Starmer's labour is what? Rwanda?

I'd suggest glasses. The idea there aren't differences between Labour and the Tory party is risible, sure you might well want further differences but that's hardly the same as they're fungiblesefton wrote: Sun Aug 27, 2023 8:24 am So other than culture wars I’m struggling to see a cigarette paper between the two parties.
