The Conservative page posted this with the title "we're on our way to Manchester" She posted: But she didn't realise Boris was going to Leeds first.... If that's true, I agree, it's not a great strategy, nit-picking to make Boris look bad, totally comes across as desperate and petty. Especially, when you consider, you don't have to do much of anything to make him look bad, he's doing a cracking job of that all by himself.

alchresearch 215 #158 Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Sadly it seems to be a daily occurrence. The best one is when she gets on her high horse about Tory donors and donations, when she isn't immune to cashing in: She's at it today: "The Tories should give back the money that they have taken from their “alleged” tax dodging mates." With replies reminding her about Blair's big cash saving and this: Unions criticise Starmer over offering wealthy donors “invite-only strategy updates” https://www.union-news.co.uk/unions-criticise-starmer-over-offering-wealthy-donors-invite-only-strategy-updates/ Even Labour's favourite poster boy Marcus Rashford is in on the old tax avoidance.

Guest sibon #159 Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I’m waiting for the Dominic Raab remix of this thread. The one about the Justice Secretary being unfit for office. Maybe it’s better to be rude than it is to be nicely spoken and thick as a plank. Edited October 6, 2021 by sibon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Angela Raynor thinks that you are scum. I'd like to think that you're not scum and that you will be utterly appalled when the day comes that some Tory is beaten to death while a crowd chants "Tory Scum".

alchresearch 215 #165 Posted October 7, 2021 Today's Rayner Rant is pretty good. She's having a go at the Tories giving their donor "mates" (her words) contracts. Thank goodness there's no hypocrisy there...... A businessman who benefited from a lucrative contract with the government for vaccines - and was later ennobled by Tony Blair - has donated half a million pounds to Labour https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2004/aug/24/partyfunding.uk Quote Lord Drayson's firm Powderject made an estimated £20m from a deal to supply the government with smallpox vaccines in the wake of September 11 2001, at a time when he had recently donated £50,000 to the party.

the_bloke 17 #166 Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Remember though, that was 'New Labour'. You know, the one that won elections and put their policies into practice, but for some reason the current Labour party wants to distance itself from. Maybe something to do with illegal wars and NHS privatisation. The current Labour party thinks it has more in common with pre 1997 Labour, the one that hasn't won a General Election since 1974, which is plainly a fantastic model to replicate.
