Westminster Politics

She couldn't even sack Patel. There is no way Paul Dacre will let her sack a Brexiteer like Boris.
She should kick him out of the party. She's not going to be their PM candidate the next election anyway so it's not like she needs goodwill from the party.

Is he popular with local populace there? I mean supporting Trump, Iran plus boatloads of foreign affairs gaffes, lying for Brexit. What makes him an important figure?

The conservative party membership average age is above 70 and they seem to have a penchant for people who act like Britain is still an empire. And as Dobba alluded, he's a favourite of right wing media outlets because he's more than happy to back up their horseshit.
 
Lots of members of Parliament are "friends of Israel" (not a euphamism - google it)and take some nice cash from them. Israel knows it is as popular as a fart in a space suit and has been offering such "holidays" and opportunities for "speaking tours" for years.

I'm saying this as a cynic rather than a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist about Global Zionist conspiracy stuff! It's just pragmatic lobbying to try and get some people to NOT criticise the actions of the Israeli government which has increasingly been led by thugs and extremists.
So why is she trying to give Israel money if they are so desperate to befriend her?
 
A 62-YEAR-OLD man with terminal leukaemia, who was wrongly denied benefits supposed to ease the extra financial burden of living with serious illness and disability, finally had the decision overturned at a tribunal – the month after he had died.

In another case, a 28-year-old woman with a spinal tumour had to be taken to her benefit tribunal by paramedics in an ambulance. Proceedings were immediately halted while the horrified tribunal judge went to tell Kirsty Garnett, outside, that her case was successful.

In a third case, Walker, an advice worker for Unite Community, himself witnessed a Crapita health check of a man with stage four lung cancer, and was alarmed by the assessor’s subsequent report. He told the Eye that he had seen the man having to use his bottled oxygen repeatedly – yet the assessor reported “no signs of breathlessness”. The report also said there was no need for a review for another two years – despite the man’s prognosis giving him just months to live.

The cruelty of PIP. This is what you get when you vote for sociopaths without an ounce of empathy between them.

She was just working for her masters who got her to the post of being a minister. She has grand illusions of power and has made friends at the highest echelons of power. Unfortunately, Priti will be back.
 
Sorry. I know this is old. Some of you probably saw it before. Some of you probably think it's in bad taste. On the other hand...


...some, like me, might :lol:

Foreign Sec when Boris is PM.....it's inevitable!
 
It'd be like Remains of the Day with extra Nazis if that twat gets into No. 10.
 
I'm still convinced Rees-Mogg isn't a real person and is just the comical caricature of a guy from Carlisle who's taking the piss.

Same guy behind him and Karl Pilkington.
 
Consistently said he was overrated as this Machiavellian figure who was putting on an act to work his way to the top. Of course, that is partly what he's doing in that it's his end goal and he comes across as a bit of a sociopath, but he's a fairly stupid man pretending to be an incredibly stupid man who thinks he's a lot more intelligent than he is in reality.

He was outmanoeuvred by Michael Gove. You have to be a special kind of loser for that to happen.
 
So... Pretty much everyone recognises we have a housing crisis - particularly in post-Grenfell London. So plans are afoot to demolish this...


...and replace it with new housing now being advertised for sale in Hong Kong...


Makes sense?!
 
Sack Boris Johnson for shaming our nation, Jeremy Corbyn tells PM

Jeremy Corbyn has fired an extraordinary broadside against Boris Johnson, calling for him to be sacked immediately as foreign secretary for “undermining our country” and “putting our citizens at risk”.

The blistering attack – and demand that Theresa May fire him – was delivered exclusively in a statement to the Observer on Saturday night, as pressure mounted on Johnson over his diplomatic blunder in the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British mother imprisoned in Iran.

The Labour leader cites a litany of undiplomatic and ill-chosen statements from Johnson since his appointment by May as foreign secretary in July last year.

Corbyn accuses him of having a “colonial throwback take on the world”, and of repeatedly “letting our country down”.

It is the mishandling of the “heartbreaking” case of Zaghari-Ratcliffe that persuaded Corbyn to call for his dismissal. His statement ends: “We’ve put up with Johnson embarrassing and undermining our country with his incompetence and colonial throwback views and putting our citizens at risk for long enough. It’s time for him to go.”'
