Oh dear...one of Boris' old mates from his Mayoral days sticks the knife in... Remember when they used to call him Teflon Boris? Now it's as if he's a freakish creation comprised entirely of fly paper. Just 18 months ago he still seemed untouchable and just look at the state of him now. Covered in ...

Interesting intervention on the subject of the homeless and tents from...a Tory MP.

RogerOThornhill

Shocked etc.

There's a lot of people who simply will not comment on the makeup of the Israeli Government right now (if there is in fact something approaching that) for fear of being labelled antisemitic or 'being on the side of Hamas'. And even acknowledging that Likud aspire to the 'from the river to the sea' a...

This is just a little bit confusing now. On the one hand we have a Government-appointed bod who guarantees free speech at universities. But on the other, the same Government might determine some of that free speech to be labelled as extremist. Huh? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/04/pla...

The director of Restore Trust lying about the National Trust again in the Telegraph. The National Trust won’t let me go to their AGM – despite being a member in good standing The way it works is that you enter a ballot and a 3rd party org who is managing this allocates seats at random. This little m...

Good afternoon. What with everything else going on, I now have a rotten cold and confining myself to barracks for the time being. I notice GB News bigging up a conference in London for the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. So who's involved with the ARC? https://find-and-update.company-informati...

Good morning.

Oh dear...rats trying to clamber back aboard a sinking ship to oust the captain.

RogerOThornhill

good afternoon. Saturday was the cremation and celebration of 'er indoors' life and all went as well as such things can go. We put out displays of various aspects of her life and I was going to say a few words but realised I didn't need to - the photos, certificates, items spoke for her better than ...

RogerOThornhill

Good afternoon.

This is just a little odd...

RogerOThornhill

Good morning. Been a little busy...

This might be quite amusing...

RogerOThornhill

Oh dear.

Good afternoon. After yesterday's announcement of "Our edu reforms have been great...which is why we're tearing up the 16-19 bit in place of something that has been proposed (and dropped before)" I looked for a comment from The World's Greatest Headteacher. Given that she leads a secondary...

There's lots of these doing the rounds...and a couple of examples where future projects actually exist right now.

Decision rushed without giving it much thought or sense-checking? Perish the thought...

Looks like Susan Hall has been told to keep a low profile...

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

Susan Hall's campaign for London Mayor going well I see...

RogerOThornhill

Odd that the original Guido tweet about this has been deleted. Wonder what it was about? Ah, found it. The former Tory MP was suspended in April and now sits as an independent. The suspension was put in place after he was recorded offering to lobby ministers and leak confidential information on beha...

So far we've had Gillian Keegan saying that phones will be banned in the classroom - something the DfE said only last year was not necessary since most schools have that policy anyway; and Danny Kruger doing the "they're trying to control us!" crap. "There's a huge movement going on g...

Staying with the them of cars...

Good morning.

Boys Smith is one of the more interesting and thoughtful Tories I've found. This is worth a read.

RogerOThornhill

Oh dear, the knives are definitely out...cancel culture lives on at GB News. Which is pretty hilarious really.

RogerOThornhill

Laurence Fox does talk utter rubbish but this might be my favourite given how many Tory MPs the channel employs. The United Kingdom is run by one political party, pretending to be two, by wearing different coloured rosettes, with the same freedom sapping policies and controlling agendas. That is why...

RogerOThornhill

Just checking in.

Thanks to all for your kind words.

I'm finding it that it's really difficult telling people who knew her - their reaction affects me too...

But things that need to be done are getting done.

RogerOThornhill

Good afternoon. Nothing will happen of course... In other, more personal news, 'er indoors died this morning. Difficult day today phoning round organising stuff. It was fairly inevitable that it wouldn't be long once she had the diagnosis of a brain tumour a couple of months ago. Sigh. https://twitt...

Good morning.

I see Suella is being Suella again...

Good morning. Some excellent local news. https://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/23795925.ambulance-taxi-service-king-george-queens-hospitals/ “Having a shared service with Barts Health will help use taxpayers’ money more efficiently. ” The trust currently contracts out its 77,000 annual non-eme...

Good morning.

Shocked etc.

I notice they are currently investigating JRM's shows as well.

RogerOThornhill

Good morning. Is it me or is this use of language slightly odd? I could understand 'getting a grip on public spending' but 'gripping' it? It's economically illiterate anyway (unless all she is doing is cutting transfer payments like social security or pensions) since public spending is a constituent...

RogerOThornhill

Good evening. Apologies for being a little bit absent recently but things aren't good here. Went into see 'er indoors today and, given that I've never known her not to be doing something , to hear her say with a little bitterness "I can't do anything" is very sad. All I could say was "...

RogerOThornhill

Oops pt 2

RogerOThornhill

What's the betting that this report says that there really isn't anything to worry about?

That would really upset this bunch of grifters...

RogerOThornhill

Oops.

The male suspect, who is in his late 20s, is understood to be linked to a number of senior Tory MPs, including several who are privy to classified or highly sensitive information.

RogerOThornhill

Oh dear...

RogerOThornhill

Morning. 64 today...where has the time gone?

RogerOThornhill

Oh dear me...taxi for Nicola Murray...I mean Gillian Keegan.

"It's not the job of the DfE"
"Erm...if they are academies, then yes it is"

RogerOThornhill

I'm shocked, shocked that a man photographed with a whip on his desk has been found to be in breach of bullying and harrasment rules!

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

Not a great start for the DfE in the week children go back to school.

RogerOThornhill

Good evening. Sadly. things aren't going that well for 'er indoors - dizziness, losing co-ordination in one, and then both hands which means she can't now feed herself. Anyway, when every tiny piece of economic news is front pages news, this is interesting I thought. https://twitter.com/redhistorian...

RogerOThornhill

Good evening.

So when is the March on Rome I wonder?

I did wonder why this was on my Twitter feed then realised it's a paid-for ad. What is the objective I wonder?

RogerOThornhill

Good evening. Apologies for not being around but the care home where my wife is now is a bit further away and as my son is here, we've been spending longer with her than when she was in hospital. Anyway...I see Piers Corbyn being his usual twattish self but who is that cheering him on not adhering t...

I see that farage wants the whole of the Nat West Board to resign. I wonder at what point someone in the Government is going to point out that the value of the investment in Nat West that they hold - about 39% I believe - will slide even more and any thought of being able to sell off more shares wil...
