It's easy for lynch to run rings around people in interviews because for once his cause is 100% clear cut. Shapps has been proven to have mislead the country that he had nothing to do with influencing talks with rmt and network rail. Without his interference this strike wouldn't have happened

He rang rings round every single Tory MP sent out (not hard as they sent some proper z Listers) but the best was when one was convinced the letter she held said no compulsory redundancies.. which it didn't..she read it out and he just pointed out that letter doesn't confirm that "oh well ofc it doesn't" the Tories are so set up to fail as they have forced this strike that he can simply run rings around them in interviews

I think it is the expected thing of this government now to keep lying.
If your boss is a proven liar and just keeps on lying then as a cabinet minister you are expected to do the same.

Really seems to be another of the many things you’re allowed to do if you want to do it, but then lie about when the other side do it.

Someone is going to need to help me make sense of these 3 pieces of information. The only thing I can see is that Patel's Home Office is being needlessly cruel and sending people to face prison or possible execution.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “The UK only ever returns individuals to their country of origin when the Home Office and, where applicable, the courts deem it is safe to do so.
Government guidance published in February 2022 states that LGBTI people are persecuted in Nigeria, that gay men found to be involved in same sex acts are liable to be jailed for 14 years, while in the northern states, where Sharia law prevails, the punishment is death.
Adeniyi Raji, 48, is a gay man facing removal to Nigeria for a second time. He was interviewed by the Guardian in 2017 when he first faced deportation. “I’m in the UK because I need protection. If I’m returned to Nigeria, they will kill me,” he said.

He shared screenshots of death threats he had received from people in Nigeria. One said: “So after all that we did to you before, you are still a practising homosexual. Wait until we see you down here, that will be the end of you.”

Sounds like an Ollie Reeder DOSAC policy.

So, now we know why the story was spiked in the Times.

Good old Boris, getting a nosh off of Carrie in the office while he was Foreign Secretary.

Caught in the act.

And he wanted to give her a £100k job. Must have been a double magic blow job.

I make Piers Morgan absolutely 100% right to grill Lynch for having The Hood as his picture on his Facebook page. This character was a criminal mastermind and apart from bearing an uncanny resemblance to this plastic puppet, we should all be alarmed that that is how Lynch sees himself

Well he got away with throwing public money at Jennifer Accuri so thought he could just continue in the same vein.

Classy the pair of them.

Contrary to what the government want you to believe they're not trying to cripple the country with these strikes so they're done for now.

Read a rumour they are targeting the dates of the Commonwealth Games for the next round. That'll be fun!

In a shocking turn of events, I agree with the FT.

https://www.ft.com/content/37b43960-2a8 ... f84beae5b9
Once you’re an old people’s party, you’re free to ignore many things: the dearth of new homes, record low birth-rates, the threat to funding for British university research through the EU’s Horizon scheme, reduced opportunities for Britons to work or study abroad, not to mention climate change. Even the economy hardly matters to many pensioners, because they aren’t in it.

Instead, an old people’s party takes the geriatric side in culture wars, keeps house prices rising, and redistributes not to the poor but to pensioners, who last week got a 10 per cent raise just as rail-workers were offered 2 per cent. An old people’s party imports a non-voting workforce while encouraging geriatric grumbles about immigration. In effect, the Tories side with wealth — held chiefly by the elderly — against incomes, and then cast that stance as “anti-elitist”.

Totally agree with that but don’t include me in that way of thinking.
They sit there reading their Daily Heil hoping the interest rates go up on their already large savings ,not giving a **** about the younger generation unable to afford their mortgage rises .

How much thought to older savers have young homebuyers given while interest rates were essentially 0? Both sides are hoping to get what suits them.

You know as fact all these old nazi reading types have lots of savings?
