Westminster Politics

I see that reports are coming that the 3% pay rise for NHS staff will be paid for by cuts to other sectors, purely so ministers can blame, ‘greedy, money grubbing NHS staff’ when their constituents complain about their A&E unit shutting down!

An absolutely vile pack of cnuts this government is.

All NHS staff should strike, and keep striking, and be joined by other public sector workers, until actual change happens. But they won’t. They are a special breed that always go above and beyond and would never do this out of loyalty to their patients. And this is where the government has the advantage in that they have no loyalty to any member of that public sector work-force.
 
Dawn Butler’s statement was fantastic. Other politicians, particularly from her party, should’ve got up & left too. Disgraceful when there’s more energy to shut down a MP for calling out the PM’s lies than there is for the constant bullshit Boris spouts on a daily basis.
 
Easy game. Conduct government business on private email, claim fidelity to the guidelines regardless, profit. Oversight - essentially zero.

This is almost my local MP. He took 8 grand in tickets to sporting events from the gambling lobby and is MP for a very deprived area.

This is one of the reasons i couldnt bring myself to read Private Eye anymore. The levels of hypocrisy are off the scale, and in tandem with levels of suffering for everyday people. If if I was ever to become and MP, i think id last 5 minutes before picking up the Mace and knocking out one of these lying feckers with their constant bullcrap.

Yeah I quit reading it years ago for similar reason - it's depressing. And the tired repeat 'trebles all round' stuff.
 
Congratulations Boris Johnson. Two years today as PM. But the poor chap is having to isolate at Chequers.

Despite all of the claimed successes - getting Brexit done and the vaccination programme, the UK will come to realise the true cost of his and his government incompetence and mistakes.

Brexit has and will be anything but a success going forward.

And the cost to the taxpayers of the Covid response has been assessed by the Public Accounts Committee as eye watering. Including billions in wasted PPE. Not to mention the billions wasted on the 'world leading' Track and Trace process which is still providing totally unfit for purpose.
But hey. The public love him, so what the hell.

Sajid Javid in 3 months time, "When you ask me why your A&E unit is closing, or why the Oncology department in your local hospital is closing, I'd suggest you ask the self-serving, gready health care worker who demanded a fair, real life pay rise! It's THEIR fault, not ours!"

Same strategy as "freedom day" it seems.

Or, 'This just goes to show that the NHS can't manage it's budget, our only option is full privatisation'.

Is that what Libertarian governing looks like when they actually get into power?


Do what you want.

*a little while later*

Well done, it’s all your fault you’re all dick heads.
 
Why not have them walk down a street , throwing rotten vegetables at them , shouting shame.
 
These are bad people. And the people that vote for them are either bad people, or misled people. There is no third option.

Some of my colleagues vote to keep themselves rich. They can be wonderful company. But they are socially bad. Wrong. Corrupted. Broken.

We highlight the MP that takes Gambling money to attend Wembley. Every single person that voted Tory is doing the same thing.

- If you’re voting to keep yourself downtrodden = I’ll accept you’ve been misled.

- If you’re voting to keep all of ‘your’ money to the detriment of your country = You’re a bad person.
 
"MPs enjoy free tickets worth £100k during Covid large event pilots | Politics | The Guardian" https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ts-worth-100k-during-covid-large-event-pilots

From the article:

MPs enjoyed a bonanza of free tickets this summer worth more than £100,000 from gambling, drinks and sporting companies as they took advantage of the government’s Covid pilot scheme for large events.

Cabinet ministers Ben Wallace and Brandon Lewis, plus the opposition leader, Keir Starmer, were among those who benefited from free tickets declared during July, with more than 35 MPs in total accepting hospitality as they took part in the research project.


The gravy train keeps on rolling.
