  1. An expensive (65 billion) distraction that we will all end up paying for. Same Tory arrogance; different day.

  2. Are they Trump's peacekeepers?
    2
  3. Vacuous and shallow. As much use as a tin vessel. The Tories have actually found someone more useless than Johnson.
    2
  4. Yes, it has changed since the brexit vote because a tribal division was their best hope of power after failed austerity. When you end up with turds in a cesspit, whoever rises to the top will be a turd.

  5. Newsflash! Nadine Dories is responsible for counting the votes. Will she mysteriously end up as PM?

  6. You have made me see the semicolon in a new light. Good luck, professor. Stay safe and well.
    2
  7. We've had enough of experts. Where have I heard that before? A government afraid of scrutiny.
    2
  8. Yes. Still they allow wiggle room by regulating the unit price while allowing companies to significantly increase the daily supply charge. The market is broken.
    2
  9. A government distracted by looking the wrong way - towards Rwanda.
    2
  10. To me, the perfect cocktail of Sociopathic ministers and the fanatical pursuit of 'small state' to achieve a vacuous ideology.
    2
  11. I wonder how much of this cabal's activities amount to planned incompetence for the sake of disaster capitalists. Yes, that's the level of my question: whether their incompetence is planned or accidental.

  12. Meanwhile Johnson is sniping from the sidelines in a newspaper article, defending his half-baked oven-ready deal that he was foolish enough to stick in the microwave. Classic comedy, while the DUP runs them ragged.

  13. We have the perfect recipe for frustration through manufactured consent and the absence of scrutiny. Our unfit and outdated parliamentary system is a beacon for it. Hopefully we will achieve peaceful reform in the near future, before the ugly alternative starts. Thanks for being a voice of reason, professor Tim.

  14. If Kwasi has studied economic history, he has been reading a fantasy novel. The drivel in Britannia Unchained is disproven by history, which shows that periods of highest growth have coincided with high tax rates. Growth is driven by investment and putting money in the pockets of the people who will spend it in our economy. Any growth driven by money markets will end up in the pockets of the few and will likely cause a financial crash after deregulation. Neoliberalism is designed to exacerbate inequality.

  15. Who is most valuable to society: a medic or a tinpot administrator? Who do we pay most to? Welcome to Tory Britain. It was amazing how quickly the government resolved the barrister's strike. Yet somehow the NHS is less important.
    2
  16. ​ @qetoun evidence?
    2
  17. Taking a holiday from reality in a government divorced from reality. Enough is enough.
    2
  18. Great comment about Simon Cowell, professor. Perhaps Truss is hoping to learn from him how to profit from populism.
    2
  19. Yes. I've seen that also in so many businesses. Not exclusively the Home Office. Perhaps the level of political interference and selection based on the perception of "class" or subservience has something to do with it.
    2
  20. GB News appeals to idiots. Ofcom fails to deter from the manufacturing of consent. Our mainstream media is pathetic. Alternative media offers far more meaningful information, with the ability to verify the source. (personal opinion, of course)
    2
  21. How many demonstrations of our lack of democracy and the need for fundamental reform do we need? We had a minority elected buffoon spouting three word slogans who got brexit part-done (and badly) while a pandemic was raging. Now we have Britannia Unhinged personified, about to be stabilised by the prat who messed up the NHS and believes in health privatisation. All of this enabled by an elective dictatorship where votes are unequal and a 43.6% support produces an 80 seat majority.

  22. Watch out for the words "let me be clear" or some variation of that statement. It usually means, I'm about to change direction or bend fact, or engage in misdirection or obfuscation. There is no 't' at the end of Truss.
    2
  23. I have a simple solution: don't watch any of the matches. Don't encourage the buggers.
    2
  24. Labour is too scared to address the real problem: neoliberalism...designed to create inequality by persuading the poor to vote for the rich to have more.
    2
  25. Brilliant plan, professor. Her alter ego Liv Struss might be in with a shout, after seeing her satire video.
    2
  26. A cabal of sociopaths.
    2
  27. Perhaps if the media stopped courting the charlatan...
    2
  28. The main channels of NHS waste imo are (1) outsourcing to private companies - including paying thousands of pounds per shift for an agency nurse or doctor. (2) excessive prices of big pharma.
    2
  29. How dangerous will the little poison bottle get as his desperation grows? Putin had an argument against NATO expansion; he lost the argument after this idiotic invasion.
    2
  30. Presumably the job description of a soldier includes fixing government cock-ups. I can't help thinking that this government uses planned incompetence to rip apart this country, perhaps for the benefit of disaster capitalists and vultures.
    2
  31. Let's celebrate the use of secretive corporate courts in this deal (barring exceptions with Aus and NZ). That's taking back control for you.
    2
  32. Copying Johnson's strategy in a limited and specific way. Johnson ignored the question and talked wiffle waffle bollocks. Truss just repeats her script - usually about subsidising energy costs. Utterly clueless.
    2
  33. Government by gimmick to appeal to the brain dead.
    2
  34. Perhaps the Tories are going green by recycling rubbish.
    2
  35. Truss could stop at the phrase: "I don't think." It's questionable whether she is capable of rational thought.
    2
  36. He farted that through his mouth yesterday, along with contradictory statements. The guy is unhinged.
    2
  37. Let's not worry: Sunak is proud of brexit and his government's record. With a PM so obviously in touch, how can we fail?
    2
  38. Farage will do anything for publicity and self-promotion. The behavioural pattern that contributed to the Farage Riots.
    2
  39. Perhaps someone should explain to him that brains and beauty are not mutually exclusive. Nor must people be compartmentalised.
    2
  40. Brexit: a triumph of fantasy over fact, for the benefit of disaster capitalists.
    2
  41. Patel the arrogant vacuous sociopath, pushing a populist policy devoid of logic. Now the dodgy dealings are exposed she attempts to rise above the law, backed by a government threatening to leave the ECHR (which has nothing to do with the EU and which we helped to form.)
    2
  42. Two charlatans high on power and celebrity. If asked difficult questions, they crumble.
    2
  43. Poignant analysis, professor. Exposing such vacuous behaviour from the cheerleader for the Johnsonian populist cabal.
    2
  44. For integrity, professionalism and accountability, read corruption, incompetence and obfuscation.
    2
  45. Trickle Down economics. Where wealth gushes up and drips down where they can't fix the leaks.
    2
  46. "root and branch" sends shivers...the language of politicians...code for doing the square root of sod all.
    2
  47.  @Jay-gr9ij  And how, exactly, was Brexit going to achieve that? Every credible economic forecast said the opposite.
    2
  48. The Tories have engendered a habit of choosing a leader who fails upwards. Perhaps malleability comes with incompetence. A toy of the ERG?
    2
  49. Parliament is simply unfit for purpose. An elective dictatorship enabling power in a place that can be gamed. No need to answer questions, just to respond. An invitation, rather than a requirement to correct the record after honest mistakes or even cynical lies. Second jobs allowed and conflicts of interest excused or pardoned. Tribism rather than frank and open debate. This is not rule by (or even on behalf of) the people. I.e. It's not real democracy.
    2
  50. A cabal of sociopathic incompetents. Not difficult to find a fool of the week in the Tory cabinet.
