I see the former Conservative MP, liar, perjurer, anti-semite and homophobe Andrew Bridgen has found his natural home and joined the 'Reclaim' party.
 
Anybody else read about Braverman's latest rant?

In it she is basicly saying that "What? No all my policies don't fail because I'm a far right rabble rouser and failed conveyancing lawyer who doesn't know the first thing about the law and is only interested in rabble rousing and fake solutions to real problems. It's because (((they))) are conspiring against me because (((they))) are obviously jealous of my genius and me being right about everything!"

Sure, Sue Ellen.

" ... setting out ideas for a post-election Conservative leadership bid."

Yep, and there will be others (people, as well as speeches)
 
Sometimes I do think I am too cynical about UK politics. And then something like this happens:



Former cabinet minister says government attempt to suppress Labour support backfired and made it harder for Conservatives to vote.

Rees-Mogg said: “Parties that try and gerrymander end up finding their clever scheme comes back to bite them, as dare I say we found by insisting on voter ID for elections.

“We found the people who didn’t have ID were elderly and they by and large voted Conservative.

The former Tory cabinet minister added: “So we made it hard for our own voters and we upset a system that worked perfectly well.”

The new law was proposed and made its way through parliament while Rees-Mogg was serving in the government.

Matt Green's take on the fringe Tory convention speeches


 
You know how there was this huge furore over minor local pockets of anti-semitism within the Labour party? Well, yesterday we just saw the group that represents the majority of both tory MPs and members use the anti-semitic tropes that used to fill the pages of Der Stürmer and Der Volkischer Beobachter amongst other nazi publications.

This is where one of the two major English parties has gone.

Yes, but it's Labour who are the racists and anti-Semites. :rolleyes:

The problem is that Labour actually care about this kind of thing and so when there are allegations, they'll investigate them and if there is any hint of impropriety then they will punish those involved.

OTOH the Conservatives don't really care and will do their utmost to ignore and/or minimise any allegations.
 
The Conservatives in general, and Boris Johnson in particular, proudly boasted of building "40 new hospitals". It turned out that there were nothing of the sort, in effect installing a new vending machine in an existing hospital was counted as a "new hospital" for counting purposes *.

Now it turns out that no actual building work has been done on 33 of 40 hospitals:

Building work is yet to start for 33 of the government's 40 promised new hospitals in England, the BBC has found.

Most are still waiting to hear what their final budget will be for the projects with a 2030 deadline. Only two are finished and open.

They lie as easily as they breathe. :mad:

The big problem for most of them is that there simply isn't any actual build money (despite the government saying that it was).

31 said they did not yet have the money to start the core building work but had received some cash to get the project going

Of course no-one living in the right wing media bubble will hear anything of this.

* - Not actually true but building a new wing, or refurbishing an existing wing on an existing hospital did count.
