Tory general election manifesto: 6 bits of bad news buried in the small print

In other words, both parties want to win on the basis that whatever your dislike of what they’re offering, the alternative is worse.

Sky breaking news - Uber has lost its licence to operate in London.

A Conservative candidate has been caught getting one of his friends to pose as a fake swing voter, raising further questions about the party's use of disinformation and "fake news".
Lee Anderson, who is standing for the Tories in Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, forgot he was wearing a live microphone while he phoned his friend to set up the fake encounter to impress a journalist
"Don't make out that you don't know who I am... you know I'm the candidate, but not a friend, alright?" Mr Anderson was recorded saying as he spelled out instructions to his friend minutes before bringing a journalist to his door.
The candidate also appeared to lie about the content of the phone call, commenting to the reporter as he hung up that it was about "some leaflets that have just come for me".

A BBC spokeswoman told the Mirror: This clip from the BBC’s Question Time special, which was played in full on the News at Ten on Friday evening and on other outlets, was shortened for timing reasons on Saturday’s lunchtime bulletin, to edit out a repetitious phrase from Boris Johnson.

"However, in doing so we also edited out laughter from the audience.

"Although there was absolutely no intention to mislead, we accept this was a mistake on our part, as it didn’t reflect the full reaction to Boris Johnson’s answer.

"We did not alter the soundtrack or image in any way apart from this edit, contrary to some claims on social media.”

I think an ABSOLUTE PRIORITY for the next Government must be to root out leftist culture from our schools, universities, civil service, state-run services and Media (esp BBC).

If we don’t change the mindset soon we are all doomed.

Lance, you dumb bastard, that's literally Nazi policy. Like, almost word for word. You turnip.

Business career

He worked at Price Waterhouse Coopers before being employed as a Special Adviser, 1991–92, to Peter Lilley, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.[3][8]

Forman runs H. Forman & Son, a smoked salmon business in Fish Island, London.[9] He is the fourth-generation owner of the company.[10] According to a report by The Observer, Forman also previously specialised in the privatisation of enterprises in former eastern European Soviet states and held real estate in Ukraine. Forman told The Observer that he acted "as a consultant" in this regard.[11]
MEP

Forman was elected as an MEP for the London constituency in 2019.

Forman is considered to be the most prolific Twitter user of all MEPs, having the highest total number of tweets.[12] A number of Forman's tweets have gone viral and been considered controversial, such as claims that Jeremy Corbyn is a nazi, that Islamophobia in the Tory party is "made up by the left",[13] that the "British taxpayer has paid for a nice fleet" of Mercedes for MEPs in Brussels (while posting a picture of what was actually a Skoda)[14][15] as well as sharing a video of himself apparently unable to operate the voting machines at the EU parliament, which he claimed was evidence that there was "no democracy here".[16][17]

He is in favour of "reducing the size of the state" and removing "red tape" which he considers harmful to businesses.[18] He has claimed that EU packaging and hygiene regulations have cost his business hundreds of thousands of pounds annually, which is the principal reason he is in favor of Brexit.[19]

Forman is a climate change denier.[20] [21] (Wikipedia)

“Ivan Rogers has made a career out of being a Cassandra,” says Peter Lilley.

I thought the point about Cassandra was that she prophesised the truth, but that no one believed her #newsnight
