I think they started off with a cheap shot against Labour but once the media started mentioning the document was the one that made clear the NHS was on the table in trade negotiations with the US, which they obviously would rather people forget, they pivoted to emphasising the vaccine research angle. The whole thing about Russian hacking is definitely a desperate attempt to distract from what's in the report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

One thing is for sure, this lot of hapless chancers won’t be up to the task of news managing the report.  I’m expecting King Dom to go on a doorknob licking tour of Leicester, to try to draw attention away from the fact that Putin is operating Johnson digitally. And I don’t mean in the computer sense.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Is he lying or just incompetent? (or a bit of both? 🤔) I remember saying to my best friend that his 50th birthday (on the 23rd of March) would a least be memorable, as the start of lockdown.

Litotes   63 #41 Posted July 17, 2020 Love to see that Boris has yet again been proven to be a liar.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/53443161  He really is conforming to his track record of being a liar, as well as being a racist, sexist and a cheat...  I can't understand how people voted for him as their role model and PM. There are some real sheep supporting him these days as he leads us into the Brexit wilderness.   Still waiting for the Brexit dividend to show up in my street/life/city/country...  Oh, wait - just another Boris lie...  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't think anyone voted for him either as a role model or PM and I never saw those choices on any ballot paper! However.... the Conservative leader, just like any political leader, is voted for and chosen and in this case it was by the Conservative party.

You might have seen this with face mask wearing as an example... Or testing , or coronavirus. In fact, there is no point in asking them for an answer because the half life of any of their answers is about the same as the length of time a sausage-roll lasts at a wedding buffet.

whiteowl   54 #48 Posted July 21, 2020 I see that during voting on the new post-brexit trade bill, the tories have voted against a new clause that was:  "...intended to protect the NHS and publicly funded health and care services in other parts of the UK from any form of control from outside the UK."   Shouldn't really be surprised I guess.  Full bill here : https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-8854/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
