  1. Honesty requires a level of humility. Johnson has neither.
    54
  2. Johnson's Brexit: the greatest act of self-harm committed in modern Britain.
    23
  3. Sunak will keep squirming until he finds an apparently acceptable answer before the DUP again throws their toys out.

  4. The Tories want a small state and are prepared to dismantle the NHS to achieve it. Johnson said "the NHS is not for sale." In one sense the truth: the Tories will dismantle it piece by piece through outsourcing, then give away the bones of the organisation. A similar argument applies for rail, where the government is compensating operating companies for loss of revenue on strike days. Socialism for the rich; capitalism for the poor.

  5. Get Foghorn Farage to intervene. The French must respect him enormously after his outstanding work as an MEP. He could also meet the fishermen to whom he promised so much.

  6. By what definition is Mick a "firebrand?" Such sensationalist language! Mick is the voice of reason - calm and reasoned. The extreme voices exist in government and much of the media parrots their rhetoric.

  7. ​ @yalnevatekofreedom5096 "left" of whom or what? Fascism?

  8. Finally a politician who doesn't prevaricate, doesn't mince words and communicates clearly and concisely. Respect to Stephen

  9. By appealing to idiots and being out-debated in the House.

  10. The body language of Johnson and Sunak was interesting during Starmer's speech. In a word: discomfort. They spin the guff of being a responsible and fair government, yet behave like naughty schoolboys caught behind the bike shed. Who is stupid enough to believe this useless government?

  11.  @christopherblackburn6811  there are also legal proceedings via the Good Law Project.

  12. If he didn't know it was against the rules, he's incompetent. If he did, he's a serial liar. Habitually shifting the blame: "I've been assured..." (by whom.) This man should have been nowhere near public office.

  13. Has he condoned or condemned it? Heard of bad apples? Parliament needs cleaning up

  14.  @SlowhandGreg  I agree, Greg. And thanks to Johnson's brexit we have far fewer social care workers.

  15. Of course. Brexit was a political decision based on a flawed ideology. Surprise, surprise! Project Fear has become Project Fact after the fishing industry was sold out by Johnson and Frost.

  16. Anyone accepting trickle down economics believes in the moral virtue of crumbs from the master's table.
    2
  17. So we have a journalist excusing the government by reiterating their gaslighting. And a politician surprised that Johnson has broken a promise. "Levelling up" would have meant building HS3 BEFORE HS2.

  18. The amazing thing is that some electors consider this normal (and by implication acceptable.) Another Tory minister, same sh1t.

  19. Did just farmers have the vote? Such mindless twaddle.
    2
  20. Define "independent." But first read the letter of instruction to the pay body from Sajid Javid.
    2
  21. The most divisive government ever complaining about divisive tactics and some kind of manufactured fear. Conveniently, the word Gaza is ignored. 30,000 deaths and counting while little Rishi lectures from Downing Street.
    2
  22. Specialist subject, bleeding obvious. Setting us up for more psychopathic austerity. The strikes are a result of cost-push inflation, which can be resolved by controlling prices and rebalancing the economy. As for the independent pay body: they are anything but independent (appointed by politicians.) Why is this moron not challenged? He blanches at the most gentle questions and offers lame excuses in response.

  23. I strongly suspect it is. By what definition is Mick a "firebrand?" The extremes come from the Tory government.

  24. "A political storm" perpetuated by media when we are well past the statute of limitations and the media oligarchs escape tax. Pathetic!

  25. ​ @leet3207 How? Our government has failed to replace the subsidies paid by the EU. They have reduced food standards, while promising the opposite. That's called self harm.

  26. His "many great strengths" are those of a true sociopath: lying, deceit, craving constant attention, lack of moral compass, operational incompetence, cowardice, denial. To name but a few.

  27. Nervous? About prices dropping? How about some of that in Europe by stopping profiteering? Not under the Tories. The poorest will always suffer most.

  28. Is this vacuous prat for real? Struggling to find any words of reassurance after ignoring medical advice. No leadership. Presiding over the highest infection rates in Europe and one of the worst death rates per capita in the world. A sociopathic charlatan.

  29. Rishi knows what we need. He told us when he invented his five pledges. Such a robotic moron.

  30. This Tory government is beyond contempt. They are not only arrogant but so brazen, they have made a fine art of taking the piss and laughing in our faces while we pay the legal costs of their vanity.

  31. No report on the BBC about the mass demonstration in London in support of the NHS. As John said, they pick and choose. A state service at the call of government. As far as this interview went: John Barnes 3; mainstream media 0

  32. Another unchallenged comment from Useless: "this government has done way more than any other..." More Tory bullshit (world beating...blah, blah) World beating only in lies and mismanagement.

  33. Symbolism, paid for by public money, to perpetuate the division the Tories want. Meanwhile the Home Office fails to process applications. Planned incompetence.

  34. Corrupt to the core. Heading from an elective dictatorship to a fascist state by the day. The worst government for the worst of times.

  35.  @timcomley3241  no. We chose an incompetent clown instead. (Btw Corbyn with a y and not an i)

  36.  @fuzzacker.  Whose centre? Who defines it? How?
    1
  37.  JamJam0189  those are examples rather than a definition. The centre is an abstract concept that has been moving towards the right since the advent of neoliberalism. I have yet to see a meaningful definition because people use it as a relative argument to suit their own purpose.
    1
  38.  @Colin623  btw. The definition is publicly available and not restricted to my world. It even covers your alternative universe.

  39.  @yosh1don  And into another. Frying pan and fire syndrome. They would Reform us into a banana republic without the bananas.

  40.  @yosh1don  the word "only" is the biggest lie this year. In fact, it's a sure way of creating a bigger mess

  41. Now we are getting to it! Wrong way round. The pay review body is not independent if the budget is set by government. This apologist of a minister uses the word "context" which he would know meana a constraint had he studied accounting or maths. The budget should be set after the review body has reported - otherwise the process is not independent. The idiot then asks us to judge them by what they have done in the past. On that criterion alone: Tories out.

  42. Surely she has a full time job running the Boris admiration society. Just suspend her MP's salary.

  43. Never present a moron with logic or fact. They will blame the EU for everything or engage in whataboutery. This is the consequence of believing charlatans over experts.

  44.  @thesaltbaron5733  ah!! Free market bollocks. Shall we get to trickle down and the book of neoliberal lies?

  45. Ah! Free market bollocks. Shall we get to the myth of trickle down in the neoliberal book of lies?

  46. Tony Blair wasn't bold early enough for the same reason that Starmer can't be... The acceptance of Tory fiscal plans. We need transformative fiscal management.

  47. Interesting how Johnson proclaims that we are leading the world, until true facts are revealed. Not to be beaten, Buffoon will continue his rhetoric until published facts are hidden by his lies.
