Both Tory and Labour have cultish and cuntish followers… folk who don’t follow any of the cults and vote on conscience and based not on a party political belief but for whichever side strifes to improves peopls life’s. As we speak that isn’t the Tory party. 

👏👏👏👏👏

Or Tory leadership challenge.  Being a good liar is part of the job spec now.

They are also fucking useless at choosing their battles. The PO mess has been going for years and the more you dig the more there will be links to the Government of the day, so just get it settled and move on. They seem to have lost all concept of actually doing anything and just get caught up in yet another PR disaster and I genuinely think they do not realise how shit it makes them look.

Aye. They are so inept it is incredible. Sunak will be trying to appease farmers today by making some shallow promises to the NFU. After completely undermining the industry with Brexit and all the terrible trading decisions he should be showered with manure.

Aye there's that many pawprints all over this scandal it's not just the current mob. Just hasten the compo amd pardons, get Mr Bates interviewed happy and move on.

He'll not like those graphs.  Far too much context.

And don't forget, if you vote labour you were a big fan of Hitler's death camps.

Well, its pretty easy to bat back - Starmer is on -2 approval rating. Which although they've had a bad week, isn't quite as bumpy as some predicted and the blows keep coming for Sunak, he just can't seem to get up off the canvas. Plus it's only leader's approvals, but considering Sunak was always well above his party's rating and nicely bumping alongside a not particularly popular Labour leader, now shows that the public don't think he's steering the ship into the competent techocratic government he promised when he took office.

Things like this don't help - really clunky messaging. What on earth is going on at Conservative Central Office - this isn't the way to tackle a sensible discussion about immigration. It looks like he's attacking those who look after our nans for the lowest pay.

He is, because xenophobia is all they've got left.

if sunak had any bollocks he would tell the right wing to fuck right off

he would sit front and centre on the tv and point out that once you get past ukraines, kongers and afghans and nhs/care workers therres relatively small numbers of immigrants

he would also say that the day we dont offer safe haven to the groups above, the country is one he doesnt want to lead

he may as well also chuck in that without immigrant labour the nhs would be floating in the north sea

All this and if his party sorted out a functional immigration system the vast majority any piss takers and not rights could be filtered out and sent packing.

Two middlemen – Charles Palmer and Kim Thonger emailed Dominic Cummings directly at 10.39 am on 29 July 2020 on behalf of Innova Medical Group.

Included in the 29 July 2020 email was a letter addressed to Mr Cummings with former health secretary Matt Hancock and current Net Zero minister Grant Shapps also CC’d.

The brief letter included a plea for the Government to “engage” with Palmer and Thonger over Innova’s “game-changer” Covid test.

Within one hour of Dominic Cummings receiving the email, he had referred it to former No.10 advisor William Warr who had in turn referred the offer onto Emma Stanton, the former Director for Supplies and Innovation working on ‘Test and Trace’. Warr also thanked the pair for the “note to Dom”.

Less than two months later, Innova was awarded its first contract, valued at £103m – without competition, to supply lateral flow tests. Innova went on to win 12 contracts to supply Covid tests totalling more than £4bn in value.

Charles Palmer and Kim Thonger contacted Dominic Cummings in July 2020 via their company Disruptive Nanotechnology (trading as Tried and Tested). Companies House records at the time show the firm had only £85 in the bank and owed £3,592 in debts.

Following the eye-watering Innova deals, Disruptive Nanotechnology’s profits surged in 2020/21 to £20.5m with a further £18m cash in the bank. Palmer and Thonger were the company’s only employees at the time.

Are we surprised? It’s just a never ending list of inept and corrupt activity by Tory ministers. Shameless and indefensible.
