The Tories are going to be a shitshow for years.  

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how short peoples memories can be.

When Bojo won in a landslide, the 'experts' (probably the same ones who predicted Remain and Hillary would win) claimed that Labour were likely to be finished for a generation.

I'll just wait and see. There is a lot of water to flow under the bridge before the next GE. If the Conservatives stay as they are in betraying true conservative values then you could well be correct. If however the dial inching to the right all over Europe is reflected in the UK and considering the share of the vote Reform got at the last GE, then there's a chance of some seismic changes and we could (hopefully) be looking at a very different party in a few years time.

Never ceases to amaze me how wound up you get about politics in a country you abandoned decades ago that have no impact on you.

Shouldn’t you be more concerned about bin collections in the Perth suburbs?

Presumably, that means we'll have another crowdfunding request in the near future then

Now come on Boris. Small tax, small government, free enterprise.

Talking of politics, Nigel Farage was on GMB this morning and if I was him I would have told Ed Balls and Susannah Reid to fuck right off, he was not given a chance to answer them as all they did was talked over him, why get somebody on the show if you don't allow them to speak

Isn't that the way of all left leaners (Kent excluded) these days (and for some time too). I think it might have been TMGJ )or another of the wise owls on here) who labelled them 'screechers' some time ago. Just bellow and shout them down. Do not let the opposition get a word in.

Pitiful, anti democratic shithouses who want routing.

Or rather, he couldn't answer the question that was put to him - and GMB is hardly Newnight levels of examination.

have you got a link to his original statement when he was asking for the truth?

edit

found it

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3758410404434530

he's not asking for the truth, he's suggesting it's being witheld

and it admitted to spreading false information anyway

Robert Jenrick needs fucking off, never mind from the Tory leadership, he should be binned from the party.

A "Startup IT company", that doesn't have a single product in it's portfolio, zero staff and is registered in the British Virgin Islands, has managed to spend it's only £300,000 on Political donations to the Conservative party, including £75,000 to Robert Jenrick. 

It's all just so obviously corrupt. And if it's not corrupt, it's absolutely mind-numbingly incompetent and naive to accept the donation. One should see him in prison, the other should see him in the dole queue.

About time politicians started to see some jail time before the people of this country take matters into their own hands

Yeah but pairs of glasses and some suits!

Also his comments on the SAS are fucking disgraceful, all to try and fail miserably to make a point on the ECHR.

I agree with you I think they are all cunts (politicians) but why invite him on to not let him speak

They didn't give him the chance to reply

I'm glad that these cunts get picked apart with no chance to spout lies to be honest. Like a public trial, but without any punishment

Wow, one should be in prison, but the other not, because he only got suits.

Perhaps some deeper delving required.

Prison or dole? 😊

I never made the comment on Prison but you only know about the suits etc because he publicly declared them.

He had plenty opportunity to speak

 Bit of a mare you’ve had on this mate, as has been proven with the video that has been shared.

Totally ducking out of all responsibility on this one & his role (along with others) sharing false information which triggered widespread riots.

Now he’s blaming the police & government for not telling the truth 🙉

What an utter prick.
