Comments by "Anne Walden" (@annewalden3795) on "PoliticsJOE" channel.

What I want to know is which politicians were going to receive a financial benefit from this crazy scheme .
346
@jayjolley9258 The Labour politicians are not as obviously corrupt .
28
@noelfleming3567 I would not be surprised.
22
Trish Labour could not make a worse mess than the Tories.
13
Joan what did you find surprising ? It is perfectly clear that Boris is unsuitable for high office .In addition to partygate we have his habit of leaving top secret papers lying about for his wife's friends to read. He seems incapable of sound judgement and needs to be removed before more damage is done.
13
@cjmillsnun The Rwanda scheme was dreamt up by Patel and she paid several visits before the contract was signed.
9
Michael I think Yvette is a very capable lady .
7
S Hussein I think Yvette is always well briefed and she is a most capable person .
7
G Wills you are right and from what I glean she is not experienced , knowledgeable or competent so why has she been appointed ? Why has Williamson been brought back when he failed as Education Secretary last time he was in government ? I thought the Tories had plenty of talent and if so why do we get the same old faces.
7
@NONAMENEEDEDOK I don't need help but you don't even know your own name .Boris is not fit to clean the streets and you know that.
7
@humorpalanta Have you never heard of female equality .The money is actually his wife's and he was born into a solid middle class family ( father a Doctor & mother a Pharmacist) . Why don't you try to put your jealousy to one side.
7
Anthony you are 100% correct .Bo Jo is completely self absorbed and has no self discipline .
7
@rossrennie182 the truth is that Downing Street had a culture of drinking and parting from the start of lockdown .
6
@tusharakodikara2487 One of the things .She is certainly a great deal more sensible and disciplined than the appalling Boris .
6
 @rtfazeberdee3519 Yes we are all grateful to David Cameron and his advisors .
6
What he said about Liz was reasonable as her motives were sound but her judgement was catastrophic.
6
@dalejohns207 Once upon a time Ministers were competent but Boris selected his team on the basis that the more incompetents took the senior jobs.
6
@Nawitisnae Serco is involved in all sorts of Government contracts and has been for many years but I have never heard of Calder or Langham . I understand that there are rules to be followed in respect of procurement contracts and I wonder if all the relevant procedures were adhered to in respect of these asylum seeker contracts. Presumably the Home Office will investigate all of this now it is under new management.
5
@NONAMENEEDEDOK I think.it is important and demonstrates he is without honour . xx
5
@jayjolley9258 Yes the political system is unsatisfactory and needs to be reformed .Part of the problem is that people are so disinterested in Politics that they do not turn out to vote and those who do take the trouble to vote do not research the candidates or the parties they are representing . Perhaps we get the government we deserve if we do not take the time and trouble to scrutinise the prospective candidates properly .
4
Boris is thick but Eton taught him how to persuade people that he was a great character who enjoys a laugh and a drink; one of the lads .I think Boris will not be back because he has demonstrated that he is incompetent and can't be trusted .
4
Charlie I do hope so .
4
Keir Starmer is the real deal compared to the Clown named Boris .
4
Jay she is corrupt enough for anything .
4
The Golem that is the type of political skill you get from Bunter Boris .I agree it is not very edifying and the sooner he is gone the better .
4
Boris spends all his money on School fees and alimony .This is why guests are told to bring a bottle to Downing Street parties .
4
@caroldevine9868 Words are cheap and the Tories are being exposed as very cheap.
4
@garyjohnson.. the lies are blue and emanate from the Tories.
4
@Me Too Boris only thinks who might compete with me in a Leadership contest .
4
@jay26cee Individual candidates who work hard deserve recognition. I am sick and tired of sleezy Tories who cause nothing but scandal.
3
@jayjolley9258 You can vote tactically and people do.
3
She has certainly achieved that ambition.
3
@traceyomalley3797 Mrs May was far superior to Boris but obviously the Tory Party preferred him because he was better at papering over the cracks.
3
George he does not even know how many children he has.
3
@JackNormalMemes I agree we should stick to basics .
3
Well done Lisa. Gove is a shifty creature and almost as dishonest as his master Boris Johnson. Even Gove recognised once upon a time that Boris was not fit to be a Prime Minister but he has sacrificed his principles once again.
3
@Robo94100 The problem is we are all fed up.with Boris and can't tolerate him for a single minute longer.
3
@jonsmith5058 I think the senior people within the Conservative Party have been anxious to get rid of this Maverick but needed to get all the ducks in a row before striking. Partygate is actually pretty serious because it demonstrates to the electorate that Boris is a hypocrite and a self indulgent scoundrel .Those who have known Boris for several years probably knew he would be unable to treat lockdown with the seriousness demanded .How very different to the Queen who observed the rules consistently.
3
@rossrennie182 should be partying .Apology.
3
@petyrkowalski9887 she is an honest and capable lady who was sacrificed on the Brexit altar.
3
@darrena5384 Boris disappearing from the scene seems a good idea to me .What does he offer? I have lost count of his lies and misjudgements not to mention his stupid project building a bridge or tunnel from Scotland to Northern Ireland .
3
@ljts7587 I think you have got the answer thank you. Boris can't think for himself and does not understand social niceties.
3
@drunkengamer1977 A good point .Public money does seem to be spent in a careless manner.
3
I think Boris has the hide of a Rhino and it would be nice to see him brought to book.
3
Arrest the woman for taking public money under false pretenses.
3
@logitech2010100 Yes Trump was fat and funny until he tried to start a Civil War .
3
will good fellow you are correct we are constantly being sold sub standard products by the Tories .
3
@JavaAndroid The population of this country are beyond help if they are not prepared to let Rishi have a chance .
3
@garyjohnson.. I don't know you and therefore am not obliged to do you any favours. Try to be more open minded.
3
@BuddhaOfDarkness This particular government is remarkable for the number of Ministers who can't do a decent job.Hand picked by Johnson is no guarantee of quality .
3
 @mickodillon1480 I think Short and Opinionated needs a dictionary as apocalypse is clearly not the answer .
3
@lunafringe10 don't you read Boris has form from his days at The Spectator.
3
@nsturgeon7145 I think it is more likely you .
3
Jason I had the same feeling as you.People seem to have remarkably short memory spans and Bo Jo clearly relies on that .
3
@Warhead-haggis Warhead you are right and David Cameron ought to be ashamed of his role in this ridiculous situation.
3
Martin it was the Tories favourite scheme and 3 different Home Secretaries promoted it ( Patel, Braverman and Cleverly ).
2
@braindonor8753 I do have health problems but I am so disenchanted with my G P that I can't bring myself to telephone to arrange a face to face appointment. Currently you are treated as a nuisance who is unworthy to be seen by a Doctor. I can testify that the N H S was 100% better when Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were in power.
2
@jay26cee I do not believe politics in the U K is rotten but we have had a rotten Tory government for almost 14 years and it is time for a change . Just because a few Tories are trying to rebrand themselves as Reform is no reason to vote for them . If Braverman decides to join Reform then that is yet another good reason not to vote for them.
2
@jay26cee Labour MP's are not identical to Tory MP's and they deserve an opportunity.
2
@braindonor8753 The Tories have no defence to the charge that they have presided over a complete and utter mess for almost 14 years .I hold Osborne and Cameron primarily responsible and look what has happened now with Lord Cameron back in the Cabinet as Foreign Secretary leaving Cleverley to insult our Norther towns from the Home Office . I do not think you could make it up.
2
William I share your approval of Yvette who has impressed me for many years. Imagine Patel ,Cleverly , Braverman or Badenoch facing Yvette across the Dispatch Box .
2
@jayjolley9258 Nothing is perfect and sometimes you just have to make the best out of what you have .Tactical voting actually helped get rid of a number of Tory MP's .
2
 @johnregan2443 People will not forget the Tory shambles.
2
@jayjolley9258 One has to be realistic .
2
@RolandMat-u6y Sunak appeared to have doubts about the scheme but then supported it .What strikes me is that the Tories planned for the arrangement to last 10 years which suggests to me it was not actually going to be a success.
2
@faithlesshound5621 He called David Cameron a girly swot because he achieved First Class Honours .
2
James are you referring to the Excess Profits Tax ?
2
 @jamsheadaziz3999 Good point. Braverman made Patel look good .
2
I agree Giovanni.
2
Steve the rules were extremely complicated but regardless of numbers we were asked to observe social distancing and clearly the people in number 10 did not do that.
2
Gove does not believe in anything and that is why he is able to stomach being useful for Boris .Lisa actually believes what she is saying and is capable of expressing her contempt for the shabby and devious Tory government.
2
@Robo94100 I do appreciate the arithmetic in the Commons but it is a scandal that the UK is represented throughout the world by an unworthy creature like Boris. Surely there are sufficient Tory MP's who are sick to death of the incompetent and dishonest Prime Minister we currently have .
2
@jedfra9172 Take a look at Thatchers contribution .Short term tax cuts were financed by the revenue from the North Sea when the money should have been used to rebuild our manufacturing base via an Investment Bank . Building Societies ,British Gas BT etc were sold off and again the monies were used to finance tax cuts.
2
@jamesrawlins735 Boris is capable of doing some serious work but I think most of the time he just pretends that he is working. How could any professional politician fail to understand that all gatherings / parties do not conform to the rules introduced with lockdown. Look at the mess he created for the family of the Iranian / British lady currently held by the government of Iran.
2
@polliebain7450 He is confident that he will get away with his dreadful behaviour as he has done in the past .In my opinion his race is run because the scandals are now surrounding him including the American lady who has recently delivered documents to the enquiry into his period as Mayor of London .
2
@jamesrawlins735 He is an intelligent person but is clearly incapable of self discipline . I think he. might be able to deliver a decent speech but that might well be followed by a shambolic performance the following day
2
At the moment there is no leadership but an omni shambles presided over by an over indulged child .
2
Tihetris they could do worse .
2
Has anyone else been struck by the lady in blue sitting behind Boris .If anyone needs to lose weight it is her.
2
@patrickmccutcheon9361 This debacle could have been predicted but that does not make me feel any better.The Conservative Party is finished if it keeps Boris on as leader .We deserve better than this charlatan as our PM .
2
@oscar38 The radio is financed by the licence fee and is one of the services supplied by the BB C .You give the impression you are a dreadful snob and I am sorry for you.
2
@CeiliogWaspflake The B B C is in a difficult position because the Tories hate our national broadcaster. This antipathy has been a feature for many years because they fear the truth about their dreadful policies and the corruption which is endemic.
2
Boris is attempting to run the country without being accountable to Parliament .This is dangerous and is highlighting his dictatorial tendencies.
2
Ann-Marie what do you suggest ?
2
She doesn't. She is a waste of space.
2
@waqasahmed939 This isa well known Tory tactic and it is used to blackmail their own MP's.
2
@BuddhaOfDarkness I suppose the answer is there was some competence exhibited before 2016.
2
If Sue thinks criminal offences arise from the Downing Street parties then Boris 's position becomes completely hopeless and he should resign now. There is no miracle waiting to happen for this dreadful.man.
2
@1chish I do not believe in wasting words or time .
2
@1chish Childish and stupid .
2
Truss and Johnson have to be worse than Sunak .
2
Yvette 's husband is Ed Balls who was also a Labour politician.
2
Ron I love your idea .
2
@redboyjan Good luck to you in your new home .
2
@redboyjan I will never forgive the traditional Labour Voters who swallowed Johnsons lies and we still haven't got Brexit done .
2
@FungeHucker Agree he ought to resign now.
2
You would be very wise to do so Andrew.
2
Boris disrespected all the people who have observed the Covid rules introduced by his government and all the people who have lost family and friends to Covid .
2
Tom I agree .Rees- Mogg is just a toff who looks after other toffs .He has no idea how the majority of people live .
2
@IndieGems2 The very suggestion that Boris Johnson may be welcomed back like a prodigal son causes me to suggest that the Tory Party has run out of ideas and deserves to be abolished.
2
@nsturgeon7145 Ed is not dozy and never was .
2
@razorwestham5949 Ed was very young when he became leader but he is now more confident and mature .You could be right about David who is a little older and had more political experience but who knows .
2
@lindadoughty9252 I agree it is intolerable that we have to suffer the stupid and incompetent Tories .
2
@lindadoughty9252 At the moment we have no choice but to put up with the Tory government .
2
@paulshuttleworth6261 I do not think Abbott would be any worse than Patel or Braverman.
2
@andyhayes67 Sunak at least does not need to borrow £800, 000 . I think you need to think again because it is Mrs Sunak who is seriously wealthy while Rishi is just a self made man.
2
If Trump becomes President of the U S A again it is time to turn out the lights and leave our beautiful planet .
2
 @unacuentadeyoutube13 Because it is not a practical proposition. The price of membership has risen and the Pound Sterling will have to disappear.
2
@danlewis-leaver8247 Labour were not in power but the Party was aware that the N H S was not in a good state thanks to 10 years of Tory government.
1
NerD X I do not think the Government was advised of the U K Covid problem until February or early March 2020. My brother was an early Covid victim in January 2020 and his Doctors were at a loss to understand what his illness was .He was fortunate to recover despite refusing to be admitted to hospital.
1
@stevenweikert7062 Did Labour support the reduction in the number of Police or the closure of Police Stations?
1
@Jonnyonthespot123 I think that joke has been around for a long time .
1
Steven it is comparable to the number of U S citizens who will vote for Trump in 2024 .Why are so many people in thrall to these mountebanks ?
1
 @sylvanasantucci I agree it is very disrespectful to play with your Telephone in the House of Commons .
1
Wendy she may well,have been tempted by the idea of a face lift .
1
The irony is that Cummings created the chaos as he was recruited as an advisor but clearly had ambitions to be so much more .
1
@BotanicalAngel The Tories envisaged the Rwanda scheme lasting 10 years which does not actually suggest they were expecting it to be a great success .
1
Bayrug she is guilty of hypocrisy and should be aware that the Tories were guilty of self interest on numerous occasions.
1
@normansmith8184 That is your opinion and I do not share it .
1
Graham it is very useful to be abrasive when dealing with the Tories .
1
@trishtraynor If you object so strenuously about Douglas Ross you could publicise the ridiculous situation and have it sorted out .
1
 @nauxsi There is nothing mysterious about the O B R it is just a newish part of the machinery of government .
1
@paulwalker797 I suspect you are not the only person to be suspicious.
1
@derekearles9844 Far too much since they did absolutely nothing . I fear the Rwandans would have turned out just as bad once the gravy train was running smoothly.
1
@blazzz13 Don't mention Farage as he is just a junior Trump .
1
@jay26cee Do you really think Brexit was a nonsense issue ? From what I can see Brexit has divided the country and continues to cause problems while the other issues you identify are very serious particularly the War in Ukraine . We obviously have very different ideas of nonsense .
1
Foghorn yes we now have adults who are also competent.
1
Alfalfa the Pharmaceutical Companies who developed the vaccines assured the Scientists that the vaccines were safe for children.
1
@AlfalfaOmega-pq8ki Scientists have consistently disagreed with each other for hundreds if not thousands of years . I do not share your cynical view as in my opinion everyone was well intentioned and the U K / the World was desperate . Perhaps you have a poor memory and can't remember the gloomy atmosphere in the depths of the crisis.
1
@braindonor8753 I think appalling is a good word to use.
1
Matt the British have long relied on being an island for protection.
1
Matt I think you have to ask another question namely " How many pensioner deaths are you prepared to tolerate ".
1
It was not the Government who were sick of experts it was the idiotic Brexiteers .
1
He is far too sensible to get involved in Party Politics.
1
@johnregan2443 I do not expect to regret getting rid of the Conservatives.
1
I think the Tories have run out of ideas.
1
@YenkammaNe Braverman has not convinced me that she knows what she is doing and I think she is a disastrous choice for this important job.
1
@gunggerdin1 Please supply further and better particulars so I can establish if you have a case for claiming double standards.
1
epincion it also confirms that Braverman is incompetent , careless and cowardly .We need to rid the country of this dismal bunch of Tories who have brought the country to its knees .
1
@brusselssprouts560 Only to explain why I speak complete rubbish at times.
1
Boris ought to watch himself performing in the House of Commons .Once he does that he will see his position is untenable and that he ought to resign.
1
Shows you the level.of BoJos intellect .
1
I think these Tory Members of Parliament do not live in the real World .Boris has been exposed to the public gaze and we do not like what we see.
1
Jason K I think the idiots are trying to embarass Sunak whom they blame for Johnson leaving office .
1
@hughmarcus1 He has betrayed Boris once but a second betrayal might cause a permanent breach. Depends on how the market in Boris develops .If Boris is out then Gove will join the wake .
1
Kathy Doyle he deserves to be humiliated because he fully aware of Boris's flawed character .The honourable thing would have been if Gove had refused to serve in a Johnson Cabinet but he wants power rather than considering the public interest.
1
@absoluteacw It was worth waiting for with Boris's fixer humiliated in public.
1
@frostyperma4789 they are on the canvas.
1
@machidaman Austerity was a gift to the Tories from.George Osborne .
1
@brightongamer0747 Of course Keir followed the rules .
1
@johnsavage5815 anyone is electable even that idiot Boris.
1
@chrissale8802 Keir was probably wondering what has Jimmy Saville got to do with the boozing in Downing Street .
1
@lorrainelane6583 Well it is not parliamentary language I admit .
1
@lorrainelane6583 You think it appropriate for a PM to lie to the people of this country and to indulge himself at parties while his fellow citizens are locked in their homes. You clearly have very low standards .
1
@lorrainelane6583 He loves himself and his self indulgent habits .
1
JODA the British people voted for Boris and his merry men and are now fed up with what he is doing .Unfortunately he is just doing what comes naturally to him ie self indulgent , thoughtless , heavy drinking etc
1
Billy you do not have the faintest idea .Boris and his crew of idiots are completely incompetent.
1
@robertgoulty395 Starmer did not have 17 alcohol fuelled get togethers .Johnson undermined himself , his party and the office of Prime Minister with his toleration of these " parties".
1
@lizfuller400 Do you even know her ?
1
@ilauthr8538 She didn't lie in a pond .
1
@EntertainmentFilms26 Are you prepared to bet against a victory for the opposition ?
1
Wild opera I think the quote fits Boris Johnson to a tee.
1
Snowdonia the prime example of the lack of integrity was the resignation of David Cameron. If he had stayed put instead of behaving like a disappointed child he could have made sense of the Referendum vote and saved the U K from years of utter chaos.
1
@jasonuren3479 The MP's who did not support Brexit were concerned that the Voters had been given a misleading picture by Boris and his supporters.May I suggest that they were in fact trying to protect Democracy which ought to be based on facts rather than wishful thinking. The proof of the Brexit pudding remains clouded in uncertainty because the Politicians keep giving inaccurate figures in respect of economic performance . I am open minded at the moment because the EU are behaving like enemies and it is unedifying to see this from sensible Statesmen .
1
Jason the Government run by BJ is corrupt and does not respect Parliament or Democracy it is as simple as that. BJ needs to resign and we need an election where 1 Party does not have a majority .
1
@MrThorfan64 Boris makes me tired and bad tempered because he such a hopeless creature .
1
I think Boris is a large , overweight and lazy labrador but no doubt others think a variety of breeds resemble him more closely perhaps a St Bernard with a bottle under his chin.
1
@oscar38 I wish you well too .
1
@oscar38 It does become tiresome I agree.
1
@oscar38 You never listen to Radio or watch television on your computer?
1
@oscar38 You are a thief.
1
@koolerking440 if that is true then I am shocked by his dishonesty.
1
Koolering perhaps the Speaker needs more powers.
1
@petermach8635 The Iraq War was not illegal but it appears to have been based on faulty intelligence .
1
Lesley -Anne what criminal charge would you level at Boris Johnson ?
1
Smokerjim I think you are being a little hard .People often take decisions on the basis of known facts and subsequently regret them. Human beings make mistakes accidentally as the majority of people want to do a decent job.
1
@stephenbarden6121 Heseltine was implementing Government policy and I am sorry to have to tell you that many people actually supported Thatcher .One of my friends was living in a Council House in a London suburb and she managed to buy it at a very low price ; she was extremely grateful to Thatcher and her Government .It was in effect a way of buying the votes of those who were natural Labour supporters . What made it worse is that the local Councils could not use the money from the sales to build new homes and that is what has created today's crazy housing market .
1
 @stephenbarden6121 Michael Heseltine has never been batty .
1
Catherine well said .
1
@allip4226 I think Donald Trump would not have stood a chance as the Speaker would have expelled him from
1
@willlw4228 What is that supposed to mean ?
1
 @stevedavis3828 Tony Benn was a great man and he is missed by the population of the U K.
1
 @another1498 Don't be stupid .Hilary is an honest man and a popular MP .
1
 @another1498 Hilary Benn is a great man and I believe he is honest .For the last 25 years Hilary has been the MP for Leeds South and he is very popular.
1
@tyeng1295 You make a fair point as members of my family did express concern that their grandchildren might have difficulty finding jobs because of the number of migrants.
1
Archana he is a brave man and I wish him all the luck in the World .
1
@JavaAndroid Thank you for your message.
1
@Events Have better things to do.
1
@Events Why would I bother ?
1
@humorpalanta Don't be stupid but if you choose to comment at least get the basic facts right otherwise you might as well just shut up.
1
@Events I think your cynical and inaccurate post disqualifies you as a serious commentator .
1
Tybalt you are just a pip squeak but my regards to Romeo.
1
@mikeserridge4547 Wouldn't it be a good idea if Government did not play tricks on voters but actually told the truth .For example why didn't Boris admit he is a bit of a lush and a party animal even during lock down instead of pretending he didn't realise he had attended more than a dozen parties.
1
@mikeserridge4547 I understand the need to have sensible budgets but what I detest is sleight of hand with the average voter blaming his / her local Council. Income Tax is fair but Council Tax is not .
1
@Beardyweirdyuk I think a large number of Tory MP's are pretty stupid .
1
We say no to pay to win it has been Tory strategy to reduce the support to local councils for many years .People do not notice that the councils are forced into taking unpopular decisions because of Government budget cuts .It is a very sneaky tactic and has cost Labour a lot of support.
1
@Beardyweirdyuk Greedy and contemptuous describes Tory Man and woman .
1
@MrSlinxy he sounds sensible and does not talk like a blustering idiot .Quite impressed by Andy B and Boris is living up to low expectations.
1
@junglie the Councils are f*** because the grants received from Westminster keep being reduced while statutory responsibilities keep being landed on the Councils. We complain about Council tax but we want our roads mended and our bins emptied.
1
@tedm6894 People are dim when it comes to blustering Bo Jo .Can't run his own life in an orderly manner and soon half the country will be populated by little Johnson's .What a horrible thought.
1
@piccalillipit9211 George Osborne and Cameron were responsible and called the policy Austerity .Osborne now collects jobs and oodles of cash while Cameron is involved with obtaining taxpayer money to finance enterprises who engage his services.
1
We say no to pay the Daily Telegraph is just as bad as the Mail.
1
@waqasahmed939 Only a totally shameless party could have put forward a buffoon like Boris as Party Leader .Only a foolish party could have put forward a person as out of touch as Jeremy Corbyn as Party Leader. The population of the UK opted for a laugh and has no doubt learned that it can be very expensive to ignore practicalities .
1
@garyjohnson.. Good bye .
1
@garyjohnson.. Facts can be interpreted you know.
1
@Shaggy-8392 True but do we want more years of lied from Bo Jo?
1
@mitchconnerandsometimesjlotoo do we really need all the details .
1
SAHBfan Pritti is grateful to Boris for saving her bacon but she probably knew Downing Street was just one long party.Explains why government has been third rate for such a long time.
1
@BuddhaOfDarkness I have been competent at most things for at least 50 years but gather you are serially dim most of the time.
1
@David Young Well Boris surrounded himself with useful idiots because he knew he would mess up at some point .
1
Imagine Ms Patel defending her boss .Who would take any notice of such an incompetent Minister.
1
Boris had a 4 year affair with an American lady and when the relationship ended would not take her phone calls . He has no integrity in my opinion .
1
Ian has got it wrong .Out of 10 points I give Boris 4 , Truss 4 and Sunak 5 .Johnson and Truss were both arrogant and Sunak is a little more intelligent and less arrogant .
1
@andysPARK Very lucky .
1
@andysPARK I believe Corbyn was a left wing extremist who was not a suitable leader for the Labour Party.
1
Andy Yvette has been very impressive for many years .
1
Guttural Tuttle Has it occurred to you that the right wing of the press are manipulating you?
1
@smellslikethinice1107 I think the Conservatives smell defeat and are turning on each other . Conservatives are exercised by Bravermans return as Home Secretary and by Boris heading for Egypt .
1
@smellslikethinice1107 The Tories have contempt for everyone even their own supporters .Look at Boris and tell me he has respect for anyone .I suspect that in introspective moments even Boris might admit he is a pretty hopeless case .
1
@philly9872 Do us all a favour and demonstrate your love by whisking her away from Westminster permanently.
1
@davidwarburton-burley9967 I think you sum up Boris's approach to most issues .
1
@philly9872 You will soon see she is an incompetent buffon.
1
@martynblackburn9632 I remember it perfectly well but we all make stupid mistakes or are you an exception?
1
@bobblue_west I am unhappy that Yvette is only a shadow Minister. She is a very intelligent lady and articulate .
1
I blame Boris for the loss of experienced and knowledgeable Conservatives and for his Brexit fudge which created a border in the Irish Sea.
1
@alanhall2795 Yes I am confident that I could do a much better job .
1
@primus7776 If you are right those standards are extremely low .
1
How come we can't afford a number of things but still keep paying MP's more money and meeting their excessive expenses claims .
1
magic fly 2001 I think she will be just as useless as Patel .
1
@shaphocane5443 She is obviously incapable of doing the job and that is why she will not survive .
1
@mohamedsheik4589 She is a lovely lady.
1
Yvette Cooper is an excellent speaker and will make an excellent Home Secretary .I do not have enough knowledge to compare her with Keir Starmer.
1
Cruddy Circle if she messes things up she is incompetent and unworthy of office .She needs to draft another resignation letter .
1
Garnet Anthony Blunt died some time ago .
1
adi it was to a fellow MP and I assume he was a Tory.
1
Boris is a total shambles and deserves to be kicked out of No 10.and his Party.
1
Boris has a problem.with his eye sight and the truth.
1
@micktaylor9332 I agree.
1
He ought to have resigned when it became clear the Johnson government was mired in sleaze .
1
@annaclaire9927 For some reason people noticed Boris's talent for being amusing rather than his immorality, poor judgement , ability to lie and lack of empathy .His arrogance was disguised by his shambolic appearance and eccentric behaviour and was rarely mentioned. I have never understood his appeal and think he is pretty gross at the best of times .

in his life.

Ian he was brought up to think he is special and has probably never done a decent day's work in his

@kwl189 Well I can't help but feel that limiting the size of your family is a responsible thing to do given the current situation .However I hope the Rees - Mogg children are an improvement on their father .
1
@kwl189 He is a rich middle aged man with at least 6 children who will no doubt curse him when they are old enough to think for themselves .
1
@WilliamBurton8 Probably dates back to 1066 actually.

@michaelrch Am delighted you are not giving way to despair .Good luck in your efforts .
1
@michaelrch Pressure needs to be exerted by China for example as the World is heading for economic and climate catastrophe .I do not believe in giving up particularly when millions of lives are at stake .
1
@michaelrch I think the United Nations ought to send in an expeditionary force to examine the dam said to have been mined by the Russians. The U N should also use diplomatic means to bring the parties to a meeting where all issues are established and discussed. Meanwhile the Russian Army should withdraw to the January 2022 border as a sign of intent .
1
@michaelrch That is evil because people are dying .

@michaelrch If what you say is 100 % correct why has the President of Ukraine failed to draw attention to NATO 's policy which sentences his people to death and destruction. I gather the Republican Party is unwilling to give Biden carte blanc with regard to support for Ukraine and perhaps you could explain why that is so . I appreciate the risk of Nuclear War and hope Putin does not unleash that on the World .Unfortunately he is intent on pursuing his reinvention of the U SS R regardless of the cost to the Russian people and the economy of his country.
1
@michaelrch I have read what you say with interest and while I do hope that Russia is defeated I acknowledge that the point you make about a new strategy is evident . This morning we learn of the possible destruction of a dam which would cause flooding and the death of thousands of people. I agree that the prospects for peace are reduced while Russia continues to exist and the future of humanity looks ever more precarious .
1
@michaelrch I think you are very pessimistic and cynical but do not give up hope just yet . I note you do not mention the war in Ukraine and if that was ended in defeat for Putin we might have a chance to rebuild the World economy .
1
Michael are you always so cynical ?

@boahnation9932 Punch and Judy politics is not helpful.

@lindadoughty9252 I do not think this was a conspiracy but I could be wrong. Basically Truss is completely out of her depth and has packed the Cabinet with friends rather than the best people for the various jobs ; how can you take her Health Minister seriously or Braverman as Home Secretary . Have never seen such political and economic chaos in my life and the only way to sort this out is a General Election .
1
@lindadoughty9252 The Conservatives ought to have the decency to apologise to the country for the chaos caused by the selection of both Johnson and Truss as PM .
1
Linda Ed is honest , decent and very well informed. I agree he would have been a better PM than Johnson or Truss .
1
Jeffrey there are things to be learned even from a chaotic approach and the people of the U K are entitled to know what was going on during Johnsons Premiership.
1
@jixuscrixus1967 Well at least we have some agreement.
1
@jixuscrixus1967 I believe Prince Charles and think the person concerned was taken advantage of by one of Charles aides.
1
My Point of View the Royal family are a pleasant distraction and you really ought to think seriously how we are going to stop this dreadful war in Uktaine ,reduce energy costs ,reign in inflation generally and reduce the damage to our economy caused by Brexit.
1
@billyf5591 I did not interpret the interview in the same way as you did. In my humble opinion Virginia found herself a nice little earner.
1
By the way Guiseppe the original photograph has been lost ; Andrew has always suggested it was not genuine .
1
What would you charge Prince Andrew with and where is your evidence ? The sole piece of evidence is a photograph apparently taken in London where the age of consent was 16 .
1
@gdwnet You are confused because the Queens private income does not come from the Civil List.The private income is subject to Tax .
1
@gdwnet He is subsidised from his mother's private income .You can't expect a mother to abandon her son.
1
@LightingJedi You must be meaning Andrew who only receives a Naval Pension from the UK taxpayer.
1
@gdwnet Prince Edward served in the Royal Marines , he produced television programmes and has performed Royal duties both with his wife and solo .
1
@lloydburdis1960 What disgusting antics?I think you are letting your imagination run riot.
1
@billyf5591 Well since you weren't there you are not in a position to challenge anything.
1
@gdwnet Get your facts right .He has a Pension from the Royal Navy and that is it for taxpayer contributions .
1
@gatocat3336 Well done you have finally got there .The settlement was most probably 10 % to charity and 90% to Virginia . Whether what she said was true is impossible to say as it was her word against his. The only evidence ( the photograph) went missing somehow and could not be verified .
1
@epcode5121 I am not a hater of Trump but I do dislike his hysterical bombast .The sooner he is behind bars the better .
1
@epcode5121 How on earth can you know what Trump was involved with. I gather Trump was a close friend of Epstein.
1
@malcolmabram2957 To my knowledge Virginia has never spoken about Andrew in public or written an article about him .In these circumstances there was no offence of slander or libel .
1
@Totalinternalreflection Sorry but Melinda Gates cited her ex husbands " friendship " with Epstein as one of the reasons for the Divorce.Her citing the relationship suggests there was much more to this than a casual acquaintance which is your claim.
1
@epcode5121 Don't forget Donald Trump and Bill Clinton .
1
@epcode5121 Why do you have this prurient interest in Andrew's sex life .Try getting a sex life yourself rather than just reading about other people.
1
@Totalinternalreflection Incorrect the money was divided between a charity and Virginia herself .Figures have not been supplied.
1
@Pluto60 The UK taxpayers are not involved in this sordid case and will not be paying a single penny .Stop misleading people .
1
@epcode5121 It is difficult to know the truth but I find it significant that the original photograph, constantly referred to, is lost .It is her word against his and of course it has been suggested the photograph was faked.
1
@epcode5121 far less than £12 million.
1
@epcode5121 In the great scheme of things what happened between Andrew and Virginia is irrelevant .She took the legal action against him to obtain money and he paid her off to dispose of an embarrassing annoyance . The sum paid was apparently
1
grimTales have you never heard about going away money which means the accused person agreed to pay a sum to the opposition in return for an end of the legal.proceedings .
1
He did the decent thing and resigned for which we were all grateful .
1
What utter nonsense. It was Farage who helped Boris Johnson spread the lies about Brexit in the first place.
1
@tharealmb I am not a Politician but I think rejoining the E U is nothing to do with pride .The U K is split down the middle about the prospect of reversing Brexit and it would be rather stupid to take a risk for the sake of possible economic benefits in the future .The U K government has no choice but to try to take advantage of Brexit and to work hard to make it a success . In 50 + years it may be appropriate to take a look again but I am not certain that would be recommended either.
1
Surely it was obvious that Boris Johnson and his crew were not telling the truth about the E U from the outset? Why did so many British people allow themselves to be conned ?
1
Christian I do not agree with you. The man is not a hero but a fool who would not listen at the relevant time .
