Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[Walken]

Tory MP candidate caught getting friend to pose as anti-Labour swing voter, as party's disinformation campaign continues

‘You know I’m the candidate, but not a friend, alright?’ Conservative heard saying on phone, after forgetting he was wearing microphone

Worth watching this again. When he calls that lady ‘fat left’ cos she says he’s a liar. lol
Well in the Tories. These are the kind of people you’ve enabled. Liars and cheats. Stain on the nation. Embarrassing

And remarkably stupid also

But the free market is just and fair to all????

True, trickle-down economics is a genius system with no flaws at all. Not like that evil socialism and communism far left extremists like Biden and Starmer love lol

Lots of people are on strike because state-run services are seemingly such bad employers, so I'm not sure the ownership model is really the most important thing but rather how the organisation is run.

I think the model is definitely inherently broken, given the wealth that the top 5% have amassed while working class people are stuck in a situation where wage growth is minimal.

I do agree about how organisations are ran though. My company have a new CEO who is making every unpopular decision possible, and is going to cause us to haemorrhage even more staff than we are already.

I’ve watched that Lee Anderson video quite a few times as it’s comedy gold, I think I spot something more cringy each time I watch it. It’s proper peak Partridge and now he’s deputy chairman.

What a party.

See the thing is, if I was caught pulling a prank like that when representing my organisation I’d be out of a job or left with the decision of remaining and never seeing any form of promotion and being a laughing stock or resigning.
If you’re an MP for the Conservative Party and say a few bad things about foreigners as well you get promoted.

I’m generally fairly understanding of why people may back the parties that they do and positions they take but if you’re backing the Tories at this stage you’re a buffoon.

That's what happens when your glorious leader purges everyone who wasn't a Brexit fanatic.

Same, mate. I don’t even get angry or upset when someone tells me they’ll vote for the tories as the people who I know who do are all worse off for doing so, and can’t blame anyone but themselves; although they somehow blame Labour or immigrants.

It just baffles me how stubborn they are over it. No doubt when the next GE does happen and Labour get in, the current state of the country will all be their fault, despite not being in power for 14 years at that point.

It’s the American business model, squeeze every last drop out of your employees, if they don’t like it, they are replaceable.

There are so many trapped, unhappy employees who have to like it or lump it.

It’s disgusting

Where on Earth is big oil spending its $200bn profit bonanza?

BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell and TotalEnergies are increasingly looking to their backyards

Agreed, we need a radical change to the current system as it’s as you say - corporations squeeze every drop out of people while paying them a fraction of the value of their labour. I’m basically in that situation at the moment of desperately wanting to get out, but every job being massively over applied to

Here’s your average Tory councillor or supporter these days. This is what they are now.
The home of the vile, soulless rats of the U.K.

Whilst there is always someone to replace those who have been squeezed dry, there will be no need to change the system.
Sad. Too many people spend their lives being unhappy at work

I hope you manage to find something you enjoy
