Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[Noisy noise annoys]

The way the Tories are at the moment it's hard to imagine anyone that isn't full UKIP even looking twice at them. They've become an utter disgrace.

Even my mum is giving them the swerve it seems.

Immigration bring a good thing as long as there is the infrastructure to support it.

Why wouldn't there? People have to get real here. A few things that cannot be disputed:

1. Migrants pay more in tax than they consume in public resources
2. The birth rate across the western world is low, and typically below the replacement rate, so the "native workforce" is declining (and I guarantee that if the birth rate was 3x what it is, we wouldn't be sat here having a conversation about the country not having the infrastructure to support all the new humans being born)
3. As you know from France, raising the retirement age so people work longer in keeping with rising life expectancy is generally unpopular

You can look to Japan for a country where all of those things are true but they don't have much immigration (for various reasons), and their population has been in decline for around 15 years, such that they have around 4 million fewer people than they did at their peak in 2009, with around 30% of what is left currently in retirement.

Hence why most domestic robot development seems to come from Japan.

It's a factor for sure, but in areas like elderly care, the labour saving impact is negligible.

That’s a great assessment of her. She’s very limited and I think she uses a lot of shock tactics.

You don’t need to be that intelligent to convince the right wingers I’m afraid

tend to find in life, most successful people can be absolutely out of their depth but have an insane underlying belief in themselves. Whereas many capable people are just as equally held back by self doubt.
Often find this in people from private schooling tbh.

It’s a similar vein, it’s why bullies tend to do well in life. They’ve got this ingrained confidence that will take you far in the corporate world. I’ve been managed by far too many of them.

Because workers have been made to feel powerless over the last few decades these bullies get away with their behaviour. In any country that didn't treat its population like serfs a little rat like gavin Williamson would get lobbed through a window for trying to bully folk

This clown hits the screens in the morning starting 11:15am, if you can stand just a little (hopefully) more of him to see him finally put out of our misery (hopefully again) then get the laughs ready, this could be monumental.

Sunak is such a fanny.

Just make the Northern Ireland deal vote a three line whip and remove the whip from anyone who defies it.

Appears I mistimed this walrus of sleaze's comeuppance, I acted in good faith, with the facts at the time and it's cos my former advisor hates me so its all his fault. Toodle oo...

Appalling stuff from the ridiculous Jacob Rees-Mogg on Twitter today. He ought to be found in contempt of Parliament.

What did he say?

Loved his "(Lee) Cain raised concerns about the optics" line. Probably because they were low on the Smirnoff and Jack Daniels.

I somehow suspect had he been spending his own money for once, he may well have done.

You can't get much better than the legal defense he had. The problem is that everyone knows he's lying. It's about trying to distinguish if he was reckless or wilful
