“I take my responsibilities seriously. I did not lie” - UK politics June 23 on

as a former DPP, he should understand the importance of dispassionate justice. Like for example his night courts.. oh yeah soz I forgot he has always been a total dick

she's got 13 whole life orders and will never be released. Yet some people feel that because of the no-show, she isn't being properly confronted with the severity of her crimes. Next stop bring back the gallows. Kieth will be fully on board .

relevant from the secret barrister

https://thesecretbarrister.com/2023/04/04/how-do-we-force-cowardly-murderers-to-face-up-to-what-they-have-done/

And that is something that a public representative with integrity has a responsibility to recognise and to explain, instead of appropriating bereaved families for their tubthumping tabloid pledges.

I bet they are annoyed that a former barrister is all in on this pathetic game without even a second thought.

Ok.

and yet Hague still made a more convincing Rotherham fan than that Roger Nouveau cunt posting about grass and horse shit

Absolutely where they want people to be, imprisoned by debt.

Economic growth via exponential interest payments to kneecapper debt godfathers, Labour will be creaming themselves at the thought

Today's my Grandma's birthday. She worked 19 hours a day running a pub until she was 70 & she left me £12K.
I invested it in a buy to let. Now #MichaelGove is forcing me to evict my young tenants from this Victorian terrace because of energy ratings dictated by #NetZeroBy2050

Difficult to know where to start with that one.

usually the best way to start with any matters regarding self-victimising landlord scum is building a gallows.

She should be happy she got the rental income she did from letting out a damp hovel bought with money she didn't earn! Should be a good blag for cowboy builders anyway over the next few years, figuring out how to insulate these un-insulatable properties.

I've never seen a pub landlord who works a 19 hour day, her grandma must have had an opium den in the cellar. It doesn't take that long to clean the pumps.

my mum used to work for arseholes like her grandma and used to tell me stories about how they've got money stashed everywhere!

Sitting around getting pissed with the regulars while the criminally underpaid bar staff do all the work - for 19 hours a day? Don't believe it.

huge news as Dorries resigns

no wait, tiny news, who gives a fuck?

having an 11 week meltdown over a denied peerage is pretty funny!

OTM. Also sticking the boot right into that grinning jackass Sunak.

do you want to be in his gang

depressing that the "I should be able to drive my car wherever I want even if it means suffocating and running over toddlers" lobby has become the single most powerful voice in British politics

Another day, another unhinged Torygraph front page.

xp
at least the pro-pollution lobby now have their leader of the gang!

This guy was cheering on the Lib Dems at the last election, and now he’s been selected to stand as a Labour MP.

Meanwhile, left wing members are being banished from Labour for liking a Green Party tweet in 2012.

you reckon i could crowdfund £10k for the express purpose of bribing the Labour Party to do some funny shit? now we know how cheaply they can be bought....

Ofc, these are Labour right MPs setting themselves up for jobs in privatised entities and consultancy work. They are setting policy now and taking care of their future.

Didn't know we were at war.

i recognise there's a bit of symbolic fun to be had but i can't remember the last time i gave less of a shit about a news story than RAAC concrete

Quite a meaty story for silly season maybe?

Definitely better than 10 minutes about some “AI popstar”

it's probably that there's some underlying conclusions to be drawn from the story that the news media have got no interest in covering

lmao

Senate Dems wake-up and take a cue fr British Labor Party. Read Shadow Chancellor of Exchequer Reeves interview in Telegraph No tax increases and no wealth tax. She is for wealth creation She feels u don’t tax ur way out economic prob. U grow ur way out. VERY REAGANESQUE

— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) September 1, 2023

I can't believe the republicans would admire such a vicious right-wing ghoul

oh yeah .. I mean I can believe it

a fucking Labour shadow chancellor espousing Reaganomics in the Torygraph. Do the GTTO crew think this anything other than terrible?

Slater said the DfE told Treasury that to avoid this critical risk to life – including *kids'* lives - they needed to replace 300-400 schools/yr. Sunak would only pay for 100/yr, and then halved that to 50. This has the potential to be very, very damaging for the PM.

There was also something about them preferring to spend the money on building more "free" schools. Figures.

we could feed the dead children to the remaining children #outsidethebox

the tories treating us to more pancake days! UK schools are already dangerous enough with all the asbestos in the walls, ceilings, support posts and pipe lagging. Some of these schools should have been demolished decades ago - loads of the prefab ones are half a century beyond the 15 yr lifespan they were supposed to have when they were hastily knocked up in the 50's. Shithole country.

the school around the corner, the listed, goldfinger-designed school, has just had months of asbestos work done on it

the attack lines from a theoretically confident labour party finding its stride (lol) write themselves. there's a direct line from austerity to bonfire of the regs to theresa may skirting around the outside of the grenfell estate to this schools disaster. public services literally hollowed out from the inside. the tories literally didn't bother even pretending to deal with this until they were back from holiday.
