Stop voting for fucking Tories

Struggling to understand how inflation is Boris' fault - unless he's managed to screw it up for multiple countries.

Doesn't matter that it isn't his fault - it's an issue that can be made worse by having a vacuum at heart of Government - which is what we were discussing.

No dispute with that here, he should have gone months ago, just pointing out for all his sins sticking inflation at his door seems unreasonable. Maybe I misread the initial post.

Yeah, I wasn't putting it at his door - just suggesting that it s one of the 'many' problems that need a fully functioning Government to address.

Javid getting his revenge for Rishi stealling his gig ?

No 10 on top of it all though

I'd just assumed Johnson was nursing a massive hangover and couldn't face things.

Good to see Rees-Mogg on top of his brief so quickly

Meanwhile, the UK is still a haven for dirty money.

The head of the National Economic Crime Centre says up to half of the money laundered out of Russia goes through the UK.

He says current efforts to prosecute those responsible are “not good enough”.

Up to half!!!

Interesting thread. Tories up to their eyeballs in Russian money. Nevermind, the economic hit sanctions would have to our core industry. The sanctions aren't going to bother Putin at all considering he's spent years becoming financially important to the governing party and his oligarchs are very important to our economy. What a mess.

By giving the small fry a small slap on the back of the hand, Johnson has alerted the big fish to get their money out of London sharpish, something that Peston has noted on twitter.

I watched Liz Truss on the Beeb this am.
Seriously? How the fuck can someone so deviod of a semblance of historical or geopolitical knowledge be allowed to comment on such matters let alone be in Government.
Or worse still be the Foreign Secretary?

Its downright embarrassing ffs.

Not sure that would actually be as bad as it sounds..

LRZ is wildly overrated. My name is Paddington Bear, welcome to my TED talk.






Yes, I am aware he will now score a wonder try on Saturday.

The joke was he's actually been dropped, so no, he won't: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/60491503

He's not been fit this tournament tbh.

Completely agree. One decent try against Scotland that any decent winger should be scoring and the new Messiah had arrived

Yep, I watched one of the interviews. How the fuck she is in Cabinet, let alone Foreign Secretary is beyond belief. A vapid lightweight in the extreme!
Still I'm sure there were some snaps to upload to all her social media accounts making her look important

[Paddington Bear]

Foreign Secretary has become such a denuded position and Truss is a particularly egregious example. Stuff like not knowing Rostov isn't in Russia is bad on it's own terms but also betrays a lack of interest in foreign affairs full stop. It's a stepping stone to being PM and that's it. Exactly what she wants to do when she gets there, probably not a lot.

The only qualification needed for a Ministerial post right now seems to be how far you can stick your tongue up the Bumblecunts arsehole.

[Hal Jordan]

The Cabinet of None of The Useful Talents (very talented at looting the coffers, though).

Cabinet of Useless No TalentS, shirley…

I mean that's hardly new but there usually was a little more to Foreign Sec.

Different times and global circumstances call for different styles I guess, but looking at the last few Tory choices - dear God, I mean you need someone effective at representing the UK on the world stage and not necessarily someone likeable but what a bunch of dimwits and lightweights. If Hague was possibly the "best" then that says it all.

The modern right are huge virtual signallers. Fly a Ukrainian flag over the home office. Don't offer visas for the refugees. How disappointing but unsurprising from Patel and her ilk

Hi Luke, As you will be well aware there are a number of routes, not least our seasonal worker scheme you will recall from your Shadow DEFRA days, which Ukrainians can qualify for, alongside the family route for those with relatives here.



UK immigration minister saying the refugees fleeing Ukraine can apply for temporary seasonal visas to pick veg. Conservative MPs really are nasty individuals.

Not exactly making a good pitch to these refugees.

We're planning on handing out visas like it's going out of style; & securing ourselves, Scientists, Economists, Doctors, Teachers, etc, etc .... not fruit & veg pickers ....

So after the secretary of state for Instagram Liz Truss told people to feel free to go and fight in Ukraine the secretary of state for armed forces and former army Major James Heappey says war is horrendous do not do that.

[Paddington Bear]

It's also technically illegal and any Westerners captured by the Russians are a PR dream.

[tabascoboy]

Well said, Sir Mickey

[GogLais]

It's also technically illegal and any Westerners captured by the Russians are a PR dream.

I was wondering that or is it just if you go and fight for the likes of ISIS?

It's illegal to enlist in a foreign army to fight against a country which is at peace with the Uk.

Meanwhile the Russians are blaming Truss for everything...
