Westminster Politics

Agreed I also like the talk of improving wind energy but don’t feel like 160 million will exactly make a big dent.
Id even go a step further and have rental history included in some kind of affordability history for FTB.

I do accounts for a couple of windfarms, 160 million wont go that far no
 
I hate to have to say that Boris performance at today PMQ was much more focused on answering Keir Starmer questions. In fact, I thought that he was the victor today. Mainly because he was able to exploit the fact that Labour abstained at yesterday Covid restrictions vote. That was a self inflicted own goal by Labour.
 
All these cnuts went to school together. The same thing goes on in the US. You hear stories about how journalists and politicians party together. This shit is a game to the people and we are the mugs.
 
The normalisation continues.

This is why I have huge reservations about the "back Starmer because at least he's better than the Tories" schtick.

Everytime we concede ground we endorse this crap and drift a little more towards the World they want.
At this point in society they've had centuries to take over. We're now just tied to a sex swing, knowing full well that we're going to get fecked. At least we're still getting to choose whether they use Thor's Hammer or The Tickler.
 
Covid: Boris Johnson tells of 'dashboard warnings' over rise in cases
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54514079

The twerp seems incapable of saying anything plainly.

"Hey Boris, do you want sugar in your tea?"
"The sugar granule, or "sugah in me cuppa" as the nimbies would shout as they chant their persnickety postules rallying cries towards the velvety wooly wonders in the sky that oft find themselves set in poofy postures-"
"YES OR NO BORIS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY YOU KEEP FECKING SIMPLE THINGS UP."

I blame the voters. We have allowed thus corruption take hold by being negligent.

The British political system has been built over centuries to ensure that power is held by a minority who play by a completely different rulebook to the rest of us. The corruption isn't something that voters let happen, it's baked in to the system. The electoral system is specifically designed to make it inaccessible to anyone without establishment backing and the parliamentary and party systems are designed to ensure that elected officials are unaccountable to anyone but themselves. No-one who wants to make any radical change to that status quo will get the backing, platform or fair hearing required to gain the office you'd need to do so.

Not that I'm letting people off the hook for voting this lot in, but ultimately 'one rule for them and one for us' has been the status quo in this country for hundreds of years, to the extent that the expectation that our leaders will be corrupt and we can't do anything about it is one of the pillars of British political culture. Being openly corrupt is, perversely, viewed with less suspicion and meets with less derision l than claiming you won't be corrupt.
 
Staggering report on Sky News about the scale of Private Consultants being employed by the UK government on our so called world class Test Track and Trace System.
These consultants are employed on a day rate basis at a equivalent annual wage of £1.5 million pounds per year, or a day rate of between £650/700.
And as everyone knows (apart from the government) the system is anything but world class.
So is the government reducing the number of so called consultants.
Far from it. They are being taken on by the hundred.
The budget is in excess of £120billions.
What fantastic value for money.
Not really. According to Sky, there are no Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Wonder why????

Day rates were £7000, not £700. We should not be surprised
 
This is great and spot on. Sadly delivered to basically an empty chamber and nothing will happen because there's no accountability for anything anymore.
