Renton 21627 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Chris Bryant was on straight after Dominic Raab on R5 this morning. When asked about Raab's comments, he jsust said every last one of them was a lie and Raab was a liar. Quite refreshing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44901 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The incessant fucking game playing by these cunts is so tiring btw. Turn up for the UQ on Geidt's resignation, announce that the resignation letter will shortly be published and then answer every question with "you'll be able to see that once the letter is published". Someone should just ask for another UQ once it's published and the speaker should grant it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It’s always fun when one of these absolute whoppers has a sudden attack of “The Morals!” By the end of this, we should be able to, fairly precisely, determine exactly how thick the filling of the shit sandwich needs to be for each of them before they’re full. Fuck ‘em all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew full well what he was walking into and subsequently cleared Johnson of any wrongdoing over his dodgy redecorating. Fuck 'em is the appropriate response. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4386 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Supposedly thinking of not replacing him which to be fair is actually more honest than appointing a mate then fucking him over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although tbf Johnson witheld information on him which he has since said woould have changed his opinion on that matter. This guy is supposed to be fairly decent, which is why he has no place near Johnson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but think the thing he has resigned over is designed to do the least damage to Johnson and by extension the Tories Hasn't resigned over Partygate, misleading Parliament, breaking the law, withholding information about his flat refurbishment, overriding treaties signed by himself, withdrawing from EHRC which would break the Good Friday agreement and on and on and on. No he has resigned over something that Johnson can spin as looking after industry and people jobs. In on it, and looking after his own, just like the rest of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35095 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I love it when people use the term ‘one bad apple…’ without realising the rest of the saying is …spoils the whole barrel.

Renton 21627 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Quite a long read for a twitter thread but trust me, well worth it. Some of his adjectives are superb (" Priti Patel, a smirking, razor-faced ghoul with all the warmth and tenderness of a Klingon backstreet abortionist") and the overall arc is tragically hilarious.

PaddockLad 17281 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Put this in here due to Patel’s decision…. I’ve always been a bit ambivalent about Assange but Oborne nails it… his colleagues appear to be sniffy about him because in their eyes he’s “not a real journalist” iyam https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/17/britain-julian-assange-extradition-priti-patel-us?CMP=share_btn_tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever party has this on the manifesto has my vote.

The Liberal democrats had it in their manifesto in the late 2000's - I voted then for them and they got a coalition - and if I remember correctly, the referendum didnt happen until 2011 and it was diluted away by the conservative majority, into the "First second third fourth choice" system (was it called AV?) ... They'll use that , that's for sure - and probably con voters into believing "we did a vote for PR back in 2011 and the public didnt want it.."

I don't remember much about it but it would have been a big improvement compared to full FTP. Think the main argument against it was that FTP leads to stable governments . Labour need PR now, and it would also diffuse Scottish independence imo. But they're shit scared of the bigger picture.
