Current Affairs The Conservative Party

That's frankly staggering.

That's nice for them. I wonder if it'll end up that way in the spring when an actual election arrives and the clown's been skewered as a powerless BSer?

If there's anyone who believes the next election wont end up in a hung parliament they're not paying attention.

That assumes no events come along - another Grenfell occurs, or the arse falls out of the world economy and Corbyn will probably end up with a landslide

 

[Aberblue]

Almost half of the electorate proved themselves massive racists in 2016 so not that surprising

I'm as anti-Brexit as anyone, but please don't say that everyone who voted to leave are racists.

Well Pete’s not obviously. He loves Germans and the Irish.

Defo. Events, dear boy. Events....

The Grenfell report is published on 30th October ( the latest date it could be published), no doubt the hope was the headlines would be buried on the anticipation of the following day, oh dear...

The first half of the report (which as you say is released on the 30th) is about the narrative of how the fire started and developed, and the response to the disaster though - focusing on what the emergency services did.

It is the second half that will look at what RKBC, the contractors and national politicians did, which is where the criticism for them will come.

It again will enter the wider public consciousness near an election and 30th October release date was no coincidence.

Oh. You mean the one where the fire service did it?

If it does come out this way, the backlash will be even more severe as the public will cotton on that we are all being taken for mugs.

I agree with you not all leave voters are racist, but all racists voted leave

A la Will Self...magic bit of tv that

A perspective from the other side of the pond:

Opinion | The Malign Incompetence of the British Ruling Class

With Brexit, the chumocrats who drew borders from India to Ireland are getting a taste of their own medicine.

Thanks for posting that. Excellent hard hitting article by Mishra who is Indian but writes regularly for the NYT.

He really goes for some heroes of the British Right in this.

even the Labour anti semite ones?

Michael Gove has always looked strangely strange.

See that Ruth Davidson is facing calls to resign as an MSP after taking a job with a lobbying firm, she'll be paid £50k (on top of her £63k as a MSP) for working only 25 days' throughout the year for them.
