  1. Hahahaha! So there are two possibilities here; either she has never received a donation to herself or her local party, or she has failed to register donations like her boss has failed to do on so many occasions. Guess I know which most people will plump for out of those two choices (given her record for treason and deception).
  2. Blimey! Tory Peter Bone gets something right at last:
  3. Yet another corrupt PPE deal: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/hedge-fund-fast-tracked-to-252m-ppe-deal-despite-red-flags-on-finances-high-court-told/ar-BB1gRqYz?ocid=msedgntp A hedge fund with close ties to government was fast-tracked to a £252 million PPE contract as an “URGENT VIP CASE” despite red flags on its finances, the High Court heard on Tuesday. Ayanda Capital was handed deals to supply face masks at the end of April last year, after its bid was marked as “very urgent” and officials were told the supplier was “influential across government”. Some of the masks which were delivered were rendered unusable by the NHS as they did not meet safety standards, the court heard. The Good Law Project and EveryDoctor are challenging the way PPE contracts worth almost £600 million were entered into in the early stages of the pandemic, through the government’s controversial ‘VIP Lane’. They say companies with political connections were given unfair advantage in the scramble for PPE deals, while suppliers without ties to government were left sitting on the sidelines. It is said the government failed to carry out due diligence on the PestFix and Ayanda deals, including investigations into the firms’ finances and the technical specifications of the PPE being offered. In written submissions to the court, lawyers for the Good Law Project set out how Andrew Mills, a representative for Ayanda and former member of the UK Board of Trade, lobbied an official in the PPE procurement team. Mr Mills and Ayanda were put into the ‘VIP Lane’ after telling Martin Kent, director of Global Trade and Investment at the Department for International Trade, their bid was “the sort of deal that really needs Ministerial attention”.
  4. The utter stupidity of john Redwood never ceases to amaze: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/don-t-need-eu-tory-mp-vows-to-boycott-european-holidays-after-trade-deal-chaos/ar-BB1gTutS?ocid=msedgntp Mixing up the regulations required by the disastrous brexit deal (that he supported) with the relaxation of covid regulations concerning european travel, is about as dumb as it gets. Not only that, one sure way of guaranteeing that the EU will continue strict enforcement of the NI protocol is for Redwood to promise he will not visit the EU if they do so.
  5. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/daniel-morgan-murder-priti-patel-s-delay-of-report-into-police-corruption-suspicious-family-believe/ar-BB1gTTT0?ocid=msedgntp Yet again Preeti Patel seeks to protect the corrupt rather than allow an "independent" inquiry publish it's findings.
  6. Indeed! If Newton were still alive he would no doubt point out a new law of inverse proportion: The more Jools supports a view the less likely it is to be true.
  7. Haha! I'm pretty sure he announced "Ima Tw at" was in the audience too.
  8. Posters may recall that before the pandemic kicked off the Telegraph published a leaked email from a top advisor to Cummings and Johnson which argued that the government should give up on supporting the agriculture industry as we could source all the UK's food needs from overseas. It looks like Truss has taken that advice to heart and is determined to drive farmers off the land and flood the market with inferior substandard food from abroad. That would conveniently leave plenty of our countryside open to be destroyed with vast housing estates developed by Tory Party donors.
  9. Newly discovered footage of Johnson and Frost competing in a Tory Party sports day:
  10. Just as well orange is dumbo Don's favourite colour: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/ny-state-probe-of-trump-organization-is-now-criminal-attorney-general-says/ar-BB1gSU4J?ocid=msedgdhp
  11. Try writing that sentence again to make it intelligible. If you believe that sanctimonious pile of crap you demonstrate just how pathetically gullible you and the RWNJs are.
  12. The farmers will be able to make use of the same billboards they used to post their "Vote Leave" posters to advertise their farm sales.
  13. How naive and gullible you are! Clearly pretty much everything is too complicated for you to understand. The idea the French fisherman backed down because they feared being fired upon by UK gunboats is laughable on so many levels. A few minutes spent reading what actually happened would prevent you making a fool of yourself. Empty threats typically have the opposite effect to their intentions. The idea that the UK is in any legal position to threaten to invoke A16 is so stupid it merely strengthens the EU's case. Hence Frost is reduced to bleating pathetically that the deal he freely signed is unfair.
  14. Jesus! You're the one who raised the prospect of the UK invoking A16, NOT me. Perhaps you should do yourself a favour and question why the UK has not invoked it given your absurd view that Johnson and Frost outfoxed the EU in having that option included in the deal. The very obvious fact is that the UK wouldn't have a leg to stand on, hence Frost's pathetic whimpering that the EU is "point scoring" by sticking to the letter of the NI protocol which both sides signed up to.
  15. Read the links bozo! Invoking a clause in a treaty doesn't remotely imply that one has done so legally, ffs.
  16. Hurrah! Spring Watch is coming home: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-57146470 BBC Springwatch: Norfolk to host Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan The BBC's Springwatch programme is to celebrate the best in British wildlife from a new home in Norfolk. Presenters Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan will be at Wild Ken Hill, a sustainable farming project in the west of the county, it has been confirmed.
  17. The really worrying thing is that it was farmers and fisherman that brexiteers used as the poster boys for the leave campaign (remember all those gigantic billboards spread across the fields of Norfolk and elsewhere). If they can't find a way for the brexit deal to prevent these industries being screwed over, what hope is there for other businesses? Furthermore, we haven't even got close to implementation of the full customs regulations yet. The EU will inevitably insist on following the regulations to the letter (quite rightly), and other countries like Australia will take advantage of our appallingly weak negotiating position to pick at the remnants of our industries.
  18. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/brexit-ministers-divided-in-ferocious-row-over-possible-terms-of-uk-australia-deal/ar-BB1gRiyp?ocid=msedgntp Ministers have reportedly been involved in a “ferocious” row over the possible terms of a new UK-Australia deal, with government split on how to proceed. According to the Financial Times, the division centres on whether to grant tariff-free access to Australian farmers — something favoured by both the international trade secretary Liz Truss and Brexit minister Lord David Frost. However, the environment secretary George Eustice and the Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove are said to have warned against the domestic political fallout of agreeing to such terms and a backlash from the farming industry. “There is an absolutely ferocious row going on in Whitehall over the Australia deal with real pressure to get it resolved by the end of this week. Gove and Eustice are on one side, Truss and Frost on the other,” a source told the newspaper. David Frost's secret Brexit list: 1. Sell out fishermen 2. Sell out SMEs 3. Sell out Farmers 4. Sell out Northern Ireland 5. Sell out Road Haulage 6. Sell out Financial Services Looks like he's competing well for salesman of the year
  19. And everyone else in the world is lamenting the defeat of dumbo Donald, Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
  20. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/lauren-boebert-asked-for-people-s-favorite-bible-verses-and-it-backfired-spectacularly/ar-BB1gPDjP?ocid=msedgntp
  21. Unbelievable!* Basically this is an admission that the benefits they claimed brexit would bring were lies and fantasy, and now they are desperately flailing around for someone to magic up a positive. BTW, brexitards promoting the absurdly ludicrous idea that Johnson and Frost had "cleverly" negotiated the NI protocol to engineer an easy escape from onerous customs regulations, should take a look at their latest pathetic proposal: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/brexit/uk-proposes-new-brexit-irish-sea-border-checks-on-food-be-phased-in/ar-BB1gPji5?ocid=msedgntp It basically amounts to the UK admitting it has negotiated a dreadful deal and would the EU be so kind as to delay the implementation of the checks the UK signed up to in that deal in order to delay the sh*t storm that their full implementation will bring. The last time I looked, childish whining that the EU should stop "point scoring" over the NI protocol doesn't actually constitute a legal objection. * unbelievable = totally believable
  22. Poor old gammon head! Is the brain cell degredation so bad it's taken 7 years for you to manage to respond with this stunning insight? I look forward to your response in 2028.
  23. How many more of your predictions like the following would you like me to re-post? There's an awful lot to choose from: Jools Members 582 6,490 posts Report post Posted October 23, 2020 Aye, this election has déjà vu written all over it -- Trumpski won the debate and he's going to win the election -- It's imperative that he does so: Jools Members 582 6,490 posts Report post Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) So you agree that Sleepy Jo should step down? No way is he going to win in November.
