It's the same here, nothing onerous about it really. You registered to log on to Nottstalgia, I can't see the difference

I know that,  I just find the intrusive pop-up intensely annoying plus it is a site with very little useful news content. I treat these things like adverts that come on both TV and radio sometimes twice in the same ad-break. I won't buy or use these products.

Sunak  and Javid have had enough of the lying, philanderers, cheats and predators in government, so they say, though quietly glossing over their own indiscretions...  is Johnson about to fall?

 

They are about to make a joint statement, are we seeing a coup? Will it be a Blair/Brown type of arrangement? and who gets the big chair>

I would imagine Gove will be hovering..also Hunt. Lord Snooty is too bone ldle.

But..knowing this lot .  Dorries, Patel or even the terminally thick Gavin Williamson could be in the frame

[philmayfield 6,206]

I'm just waiting to see what our sychophantic local MP's Mark Spencer and Robert Jenrick do. I'm a lifetime Tory but things are getting ridiculous now.

Would that the Kremlin bandit could be got rid of so easily. When it comes to mendacity, theft, double standards and just about every other vice, he makes our lot look as though they've been washed in Persil!

But will we be any better off? Every one of your nominations has a shady past.

 

Hunt, 'forgot' a multimillion pound property deal

Gove, a PPE and sex scandal

Dories, money and breaching data law

Rees Mogg, 'forgot' a £6 million pound loan

Patel, bullying and breaking immigration law

Williamson, so stupid it's amazing he can even dress himself.

 

We're doomed I tell you, we're doomed.

Good grief, Spencer, sexual assault. Jenrick, dodgy dealings with a billion pound development scheme.

With a track records like that I'm sure they will do as they're told.

 

It seems not only do you need a public school/ oxbridge education, a short stretch in the nick is also required to qualify as an MP.

From Telegraph:

 

Sunak 3:1

Javid 10:1

Hunt 8:1

Truss 8:1

Zahawi 10:1

Wallace 8:1

Mordaunt 9:2

Tugendhat 8:1

Patel 40:1

Raab 28:1

[Brew 5,430]

Mordaunt and Tugendhat seem to to be the only ones not tainted, coincidentally both served in the military.

You have to remember that a lot of the more honourable and traditional Tories were purged from the party over Brexit. The likes of Dominic Grieve, David Gauke, Justine Greening, Rory Stewart, Nicholas Soames, Phillip Hammond, and even Ken Clarke. All deselected as they didn’t fit in with the “project”.

[DJ360 6,738]

Brandon Lewis?

Graaaaaant 'Two Names' Schapp?

Of the seven listed 5 are 'iffy' and no great loss. Perusing MPs is like staring in the face of spivs and ne'er-do wells.

It is seriously depressing.

He actually has used four different names. The others being Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath, and Sebastian Fox.

I complain about the licence because it was given with one hand and taken away with the other.

We can’t get away from ignoring paying for tv license. An amount is added to our electricity bill. They got wise as practically no one paid to watch their tv.

[nonnaB 4,901]

Boris…..What now?

This is not my work but thought it was so good. 

[Brew 5,430]

Now the backstabbing, lies and false promises begin. There are grubby little deals  being done behind closed doors as we speak, and the one who wins will not be best for the job, just the most Machiavellian.

The present cabinet will go, and the replacements chosen from those who followed the Sunak/Javid led coup.

 

The critics will have a field day recounting, and claiming they were right all along, Johnsons mistakes and foibles. Each seeking their moment in the spolight as they consigned him to the hallowed ranks of Berllusconi and Trump for being amongst the biggest liars,  and most ridiculed leaders in the world.

 

Before we feel too much sympathy, we can rest easy in our beds knowing Bozo will soon find a way to continue making waves - and millions..

 

 

 

[Jill Sparrow 10,336]

I couldn't help noticing that Tom Tugendhat bears a striking resemblance to James Hanratty! 

[Brew 5,430]

No he's not dead Jill, just doesn't about that much.

 

I was a mazed a few days ago that the BBC asked Starmer for his opinion and then allowed him to go into full general election mode..." when I'm prime minister"... so much for being Tory biased.

 

It's possible the winner will have the deepest pockets - I wonder how much Hunt's Saudi backers will cough up this time? and how much mud is there still to be thrown?

[PeverilPeril 3,292]

According to the news/press the big issue that candidates are targeting is tax cuts or otherwise.

Someone has to be wrong on the principles of how taxation, corporate or personal, achieve their clams?

For me the security of the UK is a more important issue.

Amazing that after 12 years of running the economy, they suddenly all claim to have a great idea to fix all the problems that someone else has caused in the last 12 years.

Liz truss , can she be trussed with the role ???

You could say the same for Labour-controlled Nottingham City Council who are upset about the Government bringing in Commissioners to sort out the mess that Labour have created here.  I feel quite sorry for the Leader of the Council, David Mellen, since he’s been in that position he’s no doubt tried hard to sort out the financial mess that Jon Collins left us in.  The electorate are totally to blame, voting in Labour year after year for at least the past 25 years.  Labour have had no opposition and they’ve done just what they wanted to ….. spending our taxes on crazy schemes.  No need to list them here, we all know where the money has been lost.
