Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Been happening a lot in the last few weeks, clearly a directive from their PR department

It's crazy, they have no humility, trying to make it look like the tories are helping the poorest in society, like they've opened a sure start centre or something, they just can't see that there is absolutely nothing to be happy about families needing to use food banks, it's proof that something is wrong in society and the way we're governed

Their cynicism and hypocrisy knows no bounds.

All the while he sits on the sidelines of the Brexit debate chiming in occasionally how he’d have done it better. I’m sorry, from my perspective it’s the job of the opposition to jockey the standing government to keep it working the best for everyone. Corbyn does not do that.

Hold on, haven't the current government been forced to adopt some of Labour's policies during his tenure, and also defeated the government more times than Thatcher, Brown, and Blair were in their entirety?

Valid point. On the biggest issue of the day I think he could be doing more.

That's one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in my life.

Does... does she know what a food bank actually is?

 

[Socrates]

The conservative party.

Contempt of parliament. Contempt for the people.

your tax money at work:

A secret UK Government-funded infowars unit based in Scotland sent out social media posts attacking Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.

On the surface, the cryptically named Institute for Statecraft is a small charity operating from an old Victorian mill in Fife.

But explosive leaked documents passed to the Sunday Mail reveal the organisation’s Integrity Initiative is funded with £2million of Foreign Office cash and run by military intelligence specialists.

The “think tank” is supposed to counter Russian online propaganda by forming “clusters” of friendly journalists and “key influencers” throughout Europe who use social media to hit back against disinformation.

David Miller, a professor of political sociology in the School for Policy Studies at the University of Bristol, added: “It’s extraordinary that the Foreign Office would be funding a Scottish charity to counter Russian propaganda which ends up attacking Her Majesty’s opposition and soft-pedalling far-right politicians in the Ukraine.

“People have a right to know how the Government are spending their money, and the views being promoted in their name.”
