RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted April 12 The first extracts have arrived. It's the drivel you'd expect, full of explanations of why she's right, the deep state stopped her and so on. If you don't want to pay the Daily Fail (and why would you?) Someone on twitter posted this which is open access: https://archive.is/Z87Pz It's like a 10 step guide how not to run a government. Once you get to the end of the economic bit, the rest is "colour" but not very revealing, apart from Raab being a baby and Boris caving as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philheybrookbay1 247 Posted April 13 Am i missing the point with this Angela story? It screams of any last ditch attempt to discredit her. Meanwhile in the real world, I see diesel is up in price again this week, food is increasing and I've a toothache with no real NHS dentist within a 100 miles. But for £1500 - the Tories want to discredit an MP. Get real. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for £1500 - the Tories want to discredit an MP. Get real. Well, while I suspect there is little to no merit in the claims against Rayner, I'm against tax dodgers in general, regardless of the sum. In the week where benefit fraudsters were allowed to claim 53 million squids from the State, and the week where the DWP are consciously prosecuting unpaid carers for repayment of benefits the DWP knew or ought to have known should not have been claimed, this is a bit pathetic. Tighten up the tax rules, don't strike deals with dodgers like Zahawi, make the big corporations pay what they are due and put your computer systems at the DWP in order. Then maybe the Government can pay out the compensation properly due to the infected blood scandal, the Windrush scandal, the Post Office scandal etc etc and still have loads left for tax cuts and fixing the country's problems. IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,058 Posted April 13 Sunak was so quick out of the traps with his statement on the Iran attack on Israel. (Completely silent of course when Israel attacked the embassy in Syria). So does he think getting involved will be his Falklands moment? He's seriously deluded if he thinks dragging the UK into this right now has much support in this country. Israel should exist, but this isn't our fight. Providing arms to Israel is really dodgy given what's going on in Gaza - an escalation which puts our bases in Cyprus and inevitably our own territory at risk isn't what I'd call a good move. This isn't a vote winner. But as he clings to the last days of his Government, he could do some serious damage to us. Without ever being elected. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted April 14 Thousands of missiles fired at Gaza, we've not looked to shoot down a single one. A foreign embassy flattened, we didn't say a word. Now we're blowing up Iranian missiles not aimed at us. This is bound to end well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen such a small man with so little international pull try to play the big man. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philheybrookbay1 247 Posted April 14 Don't think Laura K will have John O'Farrell back on her "Loose Women Politics" show anytime soon. He was spot on. Wars all over the place and she's pressing on Angela Rayner! Pathetic. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now we're blowing up Iranian missiles not aimed at us. This is bound to end well. To be fair, my understanding is missiles moving at supersonic speeds over the short distance to Gaza are nigh on impossible to stop. The drones and cruises sent from Iran were subsonic and going far further? I also wondered what Iraq and Jordans take on this would be since these things would fly across them. My knowledge is limited though, it's quite hard to find actual facts amongst all the emotive reporting. Edit: That's not to detract from your political point of course.
