And in the news today May calls Boris and the Tory Party morally bankrupt and believes they have lost all global credibility.

A firm with links to Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock’s family has been awarded a £5.5 million contract for COVID-19 mobile testing units, Byline Times can reveal.

The Government yesterday published details of the deal, awarded to EMS Healthcare, based in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.

Beginning on 15 September, the company has been expected to provide articulated mobile testing units to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). The contract will run for a year – ending on 14 September 2021.

The chairman of EMS Healthcare, who has been a director of the company since 2013, is Iain Johnston – a former business partner of Shirley and Robert Carter, Hancock’s mother and stepfather.

Indeed, Johnston and Robert Carter were previously directors at GB Mailing Systems, which appears to be linked to a Chester-based company called GB Group. The firm, which specialises in verifying the location of individuals, now boasts annual revenues of more than £100 million.

Johnston was a director of GB Mailing Systems from 1989, when the company formed, to 2001. Robert Carter was a director from 1989 to 2002. Shirley Carter also served as company secretary from 1989 to 1994.

Johnston and Robert Carter also served as company directors at a now-dissolved firm called GB Datacare, the former from 1996 – when the company was founded – until 2001, and the latter from 1996 until 2003.

Boris Johnson has pledged to cut income tax bills for people earning more than £50,000 a year if he wins the race to succeed Theresa May as prime minister.
The former foreign secretary told the Telegraph he would use money currently set aside for a no-deal Brexit to raise the 40% tax rate threshold to £80,000.

Boris Johnson’s promise of income tax cuts worth £8 billion for Britain’s highest earners has been ditched

I know full well that you've played golf with Globus but don't consider yourself a friend of his. I was deliberately and obviously playing it up in order to make fun of you.

Patel criticised the government’s scientific advisers for advising ministers that closing borders last spring would not make a difference. “Scientists advised us at the time, when coronavirus was incredibly high, it would not have made any difference to take border measures,” she told BBC Breakfast. According to the Guido Fawkes blog, Patel told Tory supporters on a call last night that she favoured closing the borders last March.

And she also stressed that the government had been following the recommendations of its scientific advisers.
I don’t think this is the time to talk about mismanagement.

I'm well aware that sophisticated humour flies over your head so I dumbed down a bit.

Apparently not far enough.

edit: It's using your playing golf with someone unpopular who you don't like but who has publicly held a candle for you in order to make you uncomfortable and make you a figure of fun as a result. It's literally playground humour and as such I cannot believe I have to explain it

You'd have thought Johnson may have started to improve by now having got rid of the arseholes that previously advised him and replaced them with some reasonably sensible people. Trouble is he just can't deal with the detail particularly when it's fired at him in a question

'Sophisticated' - Beer screen etc.


Seriously WTF? Globus has held a candle for me to make me feel uncomfortable and a figure of fun. I want some of what you are smoking. I have no idea what you do for fun(actually I bet I do) so I cannot speak to that, but Globus doesn't make me feel uncomfortable so you are all over the place

This is excruciating. I'll use crayons next time.

I deliberately exaggerated your relationship with an unpopular poster in order to make fun of you. SaintK, who I was replying to, loathes globus, and I know you're not that keen on the old bluffer either, and I find it amusing that he still pines for those golf days in his weird and stalkerish way.

Most people would've just posted "fuck off " in response, which is all it would have deserved.

But with you, we have... whatever the fuck this was. Bye now.
