Perhaps eating cat food wasn't the best idea? https://twitter.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1675839379623796737 It's possible that someone tipped 30p Lee that allying himself to a group which has alternative policies to the Party when you're that party's Vice-chairman might not be the smartest thing to do...

That phrase 'v.silly statement' could be used for all kinds of things but this is re the Sue Gray contact with Starmer.

I'm shocked, shocked that Sir John 'Cultural Marxism is to blame for everything' Hayes is the President of this New Conservatives bunch!

Next up - phony 'research' which we'll never get to see but for which they'll claim expenses from the taxpayer like the ERG did.

I see the New Conservatives (company number 14849463*) have started to show themselves. Red wall Tory MPs put pressure on Sunak over net migration https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/02/red-wall-tory-mps-put-pressure-on-sunak-over-net-migration?CMP=share_btn_tw Rishi Sunak is facing demands...

My Society account is fine as I don't tend to read too much on there but my personal account still hasn't returned - when does this "day" as in "daily limit reached" begin I wonder. Probably US time but which time zone?

RogerOThornhill

Ah well, Tories tried the old distraction tactic with this. I'm sure another will come along soon.

Sunak > Goldsmith

You were asked to apologise for your comments about the privileges committee as we felt they were incompatible with your position as a minister of the crown. You have decided to take a different course.

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

And Goldsmith has gone. Nothing to do with that Privileges Committee Report of course...

RogerOThornhill

Apparently Farage has had a numberless quantity of bank accounts closed by unnamed banks.

Perish the thought that it may be something to do with with the source of incoming funds...

RogerOThornhill

I see Ed Balls is teaming up with George Osborne. Lots of people on that twitter are getting a bit cross... IIRC Balls said that on a personal level - and leaving aside the politics - Osborne was a decent sort and easy to talk to about family etc. But he thought Cameron to be an utter shit. https://...

Oh dear, not a good day for the Government...

Plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda ruled unlawful

RogerOThornhill

Good morning. Privileges Committee report...part 2. “This matter is made more difficult because two of the Members mounting the most vicious attacks on the Committee did so from the platform of their own hosted TV shows” Can't imagine that Ofcom will take any action though. https://twitter.com/Polit...

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

Interesting bit of focus group stuff regarding which groups are going with which party.

RogerOThornhill

There seems to be something missing here...I'm loathe to go all Rolf on you but can you see what it is yet?

RogerOThornhill

The most disturbing thing about this is that I agree with Lord Pickles...

RogerOThornhill

Good to see more people realising that using 'in effect' or 'effectively' = 'I'm making this up.'

RogerOThornhill

Good afternoon.

Cates is a menace. I have no doubt the law of unintended consequences will come out of this at some stage.

About time the DfE stuck up for schools and told her to pipe down.

RogerOThornhill

Pretty good on the history of Wagner and the links with the Russian state.

RogerOThornhill

Good morning. How it started. BORIS JOHNSON: Lefties sneer. But those brave souls on the submarine died in a cause - pushing out the frontiers of human knowledge - that's typically British and that fills me with pride How it's going Stephen, Lancs, 18 hours ago How is gawking at the wreck of the Tit...

Sounds like it's all kicking off in Russia...

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

re the above - I note that the BBC has the entire series of Red Dwarf on iplayer - the early ones are just so good.

RogerOThornhill

Interesting that ben Habib is shown as a "Businessman" rather than "former Brexit party MEP and now member of the Reform Party." Re the identifying as a whatever, I wouldn't mind betting that the pupils are loving all of this free publicity for this. And of course Britain's Stric...

Good morning. Well 'er indoors was tired of laying in a hospital bed in that there hospital and decided to come home and lie in the own in our living room. 6 weeks out of the last 7 in hospital...it's been a bit trying.

RogerOThornhill

Good afternoon.

The people who said that Gordon Brown 'bankrupt the country' when the debt to GDP ratio was about 70% seem to have gone very quiet.

RogerOThornhill

Glorious.

They're all trying to wriggle out of what they said only a week ago...

RogerOThornhill

Oh dear, time for that peerage to be handed back I think... Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan police commissioner, has given a strong hint that the Met will take action against Tories involved in the lockdown party organised by Shaun Bailey’s mayoral campaign team. In an interview with the News Agen...

RogerOThornhill

Not a good look...

RogerOThornhill

Oops. Another one gone.

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

No prizes to guess where the disgraced former-PM and former MP is going next...I saw the front page last night.

Wonder how long that one has been agreed.

RogerOThornhill

In which, and I would have deemed this extremely difficult, Nadine is making things so much worse...

RogerOThornhill

Good afternoon.

And yes, there is another one...

RogerOThornhill

Blimey, all happening today!

RogerOThornhill

RogerOThornhill

And Shaun Bailey?

So what has he ever done to warrant a peerage?

Given that Kulveer Ranger is there as well, a bit surprised that Andrew Gilligan didn't get one.

RogerOThornhill

Diddums.

Oh and 'er indoors is back inside that there hospital as of yesterday. Sigh.

RogerOThornhill

Good evening.

Apologies for not being around but 'er indoors finally decided to come home again on Friday after nigh on four weeks in that there hospital. Coronation Day seems a awfully long time ago now...

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

I know Tice is an utter moron and only doing this to try and gain support but this would be great to see.

Good to see that civil servants and the course provider have some integrity left at least.

Good morning. 'Mucked up' is an interesting way to describe two World Wars and the Holocaust.
