In the news

And that Culture Secretary is now the culture-war job.

Nadine Dorries, ffs. I've seen yogurts with more culture.

Read a piece on him today that highlighted he was a government whip and was not terrible at Defense before the Huawei leak which suggests he has the people skills required, but he 100% did not give a fuck about education brief in any way shape or form and was only interested in getting Tory MPs on board Team Gavin.

Thanks, good to hear there's still some NHS provision, but obviously it can't be nice being one of the last ones working under programmed under-funding. :/

Jenrick's gone but he had a great run. He treated the post like a well practiced contestant on supermarket sweep.

He'll be back. Soon.

Ambulance for Humza..

Laughable populist bollocks... Enjoy, peasants!!

Classic Dom distraction tactics.

What's going on with Gove behind the scenes?

He Receives a £100,000 donation from a property developer a month ago, is now Housing Secretary, and spokesperson said it was all proper and not a conflict of interest.....

Also saw their new proposed zoning plan doesn't allow local resident comment on new applications....

Given the amount of nimbyism in the Tory ranks, that could actually go down like a lead balloon with the members also.

The revolt has started already.

When they get a chance to read details of proposals before a vote, even they don't like them. Who'd have thought...

Bloody hell the state of that new proposed development bill. The govt still hasn't dealt with the Grenfell mess, directly caused by years of weakening building codes and oversight, and now they're talking about waving through planning applications in council approved areas. Dread to think how much money Gove pocketed for this doozy.

£120k so far, apparently

(and that's just what has reached the surface)

"BuT tHeY'rE aLl tHe SaMe"

Have we done them changing all Mayoral and Police Commissioners elections to FPTP?

120K

He's cheap 😁

Very. That's only donation declarations since May though, not any real bribes (allegedly).

So that was the real argument with Johnson then. And exposes his motivation.

Taliban have banned girls from secondary education. Bunch of cunts. What a fucking travesty what has happened to Afghanistan over the years.

The 2015 Adam Curtis film Bitter Lake (available on iPlayer) goes a long way to explaining how Afghanistan went down. Brits, USA, etc, don't come out of it well.

Anyone watching the Lebanon report on C4 news?
