General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

And why the ◊◊◊◊ should a UK prime minister, or any other minister, be giving Rogan the time of day?

And when did Linehan turn into such a total twat? Or was he always one and we ignored it 'cos Father Ted and some other things?

When he wrote Father Ted, IT Crowd and Black Books did we know anything about him at all apart from he was a talented comedy writer?

Given that HMRC have now cleared Rayner, can we get back to the opacity of the member for Innsmouth's financial arrangements?

No, one of today's Gammon outrages is that it's obviously a fix and there needs to be an investigation of the HMRC investigation.

That's not in the public interest, and was just a (series of) careless oversight(s)

Obviously this does not include the £5M personal gift to Farage

Actually this could be a rich seam of hatred for the right wing to mine-:

"Workshy layabout living in tent under £15m motorway junction expects Salvation Army soup kitchen to feed him!"

Rayner gets cleared. Farage gets investigated. The inate corruption of the left-wing establishment. Welcome to the ruins of once great Britain.

Kevin O'Sullivan
@TVKev
Oh sure! Nothing dodgy about the timing of this at all. If you can't see the corruption of this, you're blind. Won't matter to Farage because no one cares. His popularity will continue to rise.

There's a squatter living at 10 Downing Street. Description: short, stocky, borrowed glasses, free grey suit.

People can now get the equivalent of a £71,000 salary on benefits.

Working people on £30,000 or £40,000 are asking themselves, why do I bother working so hard?

This is not sustainable.

....as the Tories are going to remove all the welfare I receive?

Surely they should be asking themselves which disabilities and other burdens do they need to inflict on themselves to qualify for that much assistance.

Streeting has resigned, so it looks like he's going for it.

That's good, we surely don't want to be allies with a state led by a wannabe fascist dictator.

Shameful. Disgraceful. He must immediately resign from his role at OnlyFans, before he besmirches the good name of sex workers everywhere.

Wes Streeting resigns as health secretary, saying he has lost confidence in PM's leadership

In a letter shared on X he says he has "lost confidence" in Keir Starmer's leadership and it would be "dishonourable and unprincipled" to remain in government.

Andy Burnham allowed to run for selection in Makerfield by-election, Labour's ruling body says

The Greater Manchester mayor still needs to be selected as the local party's candidate.

This aged well from yesterday

Keir Starmer has "full confidence" in Health Secretary Wes Streeting, according to the prime minister's official spokesperson.

Speaking at a briefing for journalists following the King's Speech, Starmer's spokesperson says "the prime minister has full confidence in the health secretary".
