The fall of the Tory party

Prices will need to come down then or people won't be buying for a long while.

I think it will be similar like after 2008, there will be less for sale because people who are not
forced to sell will try to wait for better conditions.

That's the other issue that will occur people have over paid and will have to sit and hold onto them.

Kent CC are about to go bankrupt. I assume they will be allowed an extreme increase in council tax?

Fuck me that's grim.

Still it's an honest headline for a change.

Just let them have a similar tax allowance as workers and tax the rest as income

Once you reach state pension age, you stop paying NI (or it could be when you start receiving it), but pension income is taxable (including the state pension). You get tax relief on private pension contributions, so you are liable for income tax on the payments.

Almost as if it was a bad idea to have austerity when it was cheap to borrow money and invest in yourself and then borrow shit loads of money when its expensive and everything is broken.

Shame nobody warned the government of this 12 years ago really /sarcasm

Gilt yields were higher than today when the Con/Dem coalition came in. It's always ideological with this lot.

Ha.

Shit, i may have found a tory that I have respect for.

Yep, he's the one who lost his shit (actually said what he thought) a month ago.

Sunak ends ministers doing the rounds on breakfast shows unless they have something to announce

Sunak is a hypocritical, frit cunt.

Seriously, who knew

He “raised his concerns in the Commons Tea Room”? Go Charles, that’s really sticking it to them.

Actually do something rather than ineffectually gobbing off, pretending it’s nothing to do with you as a Tory MP.

Don’t fancy that? Then fuck off you grandstanding but mealy mouthed shit

I don't blame him. Those breakfast shows seemed to be giving them a tougher time than the politics shows.

There's only so many times you can send James Cleverly out to humiliate himself.

He “raised his concerns in the Commons Tea Room”? Go Charles, that’s really sticking it to
them.

It's a few years old, but from his Wikipedia page:
'In December 2013, Walker was the only MP to confirm he would accept an 11% pay increase'

Got to be honest but that makes sense.

If they've got nothing to say their time would be better spent working.

If they've got nothing to say

Do you mean nothing to say as in they don't answer what they are asked or they don't have an announcement to make?

It just reduces scrutiny and accountability even more, it isn't many mornings when there aren't good questions for ministers to respond to

Nothing is gained by these interviews nowadays though, they’re just frustrating and weak because, as you say, the script never allows them to actually answer any questions.

Without them there is no direct questioning of the government at all, (whether those questions are answered or not is moot), unless they choose to have a press conference. They can just avoid all direct scrutiny.

Smashing chap

And Sunak is reduced within weeks to photo opportunities with Zelenskyy.

Does facile and vacuous cover it?
