This is the man who imposed some of the most harshest austerity measures on the neediest members of our society, the Tories are complete and utter scum.

Mister M 1,608 #1039 Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) It's also worth pointing out that the wonderfully Dickens-like character Eric Pickles, who as you will be aware is the 'lobbying watchdog chair', failed to publicly declare role on Tory business forum. Former Conservative cabinet minister who chairs the government’s own lobbying watchdog has been accused of a potential conflict of interest for failing to publicly declare his ongoing involvement in a Tory business lobbying forum. Eric Pickles, who heads up the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA), did not mention his presidency of the Enterprise Forum in a written submission to a parliamentary committee or in his CV, before becoming chair of the watchdog last year. The Enterprise Forum, which boasts of its access to government ministers, aims “to improve the quality and flow of information between the business community and the Conservative Party”. Lord Pickles has been the Forum’s president since 2017. Lobbying watchdog chair failed to publicly declare role on Tory business forum | openDemocracy It's almost as comical as the Government's own Anti-Corruption Champion at the Cabinet Office since 2017, John Penrose MP, is married to the Track and Trace head Dido Harding. The performance of the track and trace system has been so stunning that Johnson has offered her the role to head up Britain's new Health Protection Agency.

Guest makapaka #1040 Posted April 15, 2021 The tories are a disgrace. I think you have to have some serious misconceptions about what is right and wrong to put a cross in the box for that party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M 1,608 #1044 Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Apparently Twitter is buzzing today because Bernard Jenkin MP, on yesterday evenings edition of Question Time, said that the royal family are "the least privileged in Britain". It was in response to a question from the audience that the BBC news coverage of the Duke's death dragged on for too long. But Jenkin was having none of it. I bet Jenkin is one of these tiresome types who likes to opine that white middle class straight men are the most discriminated against in Britain today Edited April 16, 2021 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
