Separately, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is investigating how Arcuri’s most recent company won a £100,000 government cyber skills grant intended to assist UK firms, even though she has now returned to live in the US.

is this the most potentially damaging bit?

I won't get too excited because people seem quite inured to sleaze these days

The visa thing, though. That’s potentially very tricky.

Look, clearly holding Johnson to account for his many criminal acts is just politically motivated remoaner shenanigans

Corbz is going to announce in a speech today more details of Labour's scrap UC plan.

Food bank charity the Trussell Trust welcomed the end of the five-week wait proposed by Labour but warned that the party's plans could create further problems.

It said that "scrapping universal credit may only result in further upheaval".

yeah people queuing up for handouts don't want any upheavals - you fucking jerkoffs. fucking charities are the worst.

The media impact would be survivable but with everyone all lawyered up I think the actual consequences will be harder to dodge right now.

That sounds quite encouraging, but what is the worst that realistically happen to him?

Could happen to him

Well, the initial story came out in The Times, which could hardly be described as an outpost of Remainer resentment. I reckon he’ll try to style it out (obvs) but watch what the current blonde girlfriend does (we haven’t seen her make an appearance for a week or so).

I was thinking if a sleaze story is going to kill boris it won't be broke in the murdoch press

still a lot of things he needs to point his finger at: elements of the PIP reforms, Fit for work assessments on people who are gravely ill, ESA etc

I imagine they would fall under the umbrella of abolishing the DWP though?

john pls stop pleasuring me i can’t take it any more i’m begging u

xp

I have been hearing mixed messages, albeit through the awful bbc this morning. Should wait for the speech I suppose.

nice

PIP is a totally separate dept to UC. I want to hear about these shitehawks like ATOS (who earn £600M contracts by doing fake assessments on people with MS) getting the heave ho.

Yep same, my best friend has been through years of horror with them. He’s in IDS’s constituency today to announce it

chingford mount! maybe I'll hop on a bus

It’s starting at 11, but I think they are canvassing?!

NEW: Labour will scrap “inhumane” Universal Credit - and replace the Department for Work and Pensions with a Department for Social Security, Corbyn vows: https://t.co/hYPq6DNJVV

I don't think the "inhumane" is controversial enough here to require quotes ffs!

The middle class welfare state expands. Won't abolish Universal Credit though - that would actually help the poorest. https://t.co/H9ZjASop1z

— John McTernan (@johnmcternan) September 22, 2019

his only response so far has been to grumble about lack of details. if he wasn't such a bitter little malignant shit he might have said the proposals released so far all sound very very good.

Corbyn in Chingford and Woodford Green: Labour will change the name of DWP to the Department of Social Security and reform the system entirely - including ending the two-child limit on child benefit, ending the sanctions regime and scrapping Universal Credit in its entirety. pic.twitter.com/GlMRNnmcGi

summary of Corbyn's speech in chingford

We’re not just going to kick IDS and Johnson out, we’re going to throw their disgusting policies in the dustbin of history

Yesterday’s McDonnell posts reminded me of Bennwave

Amazing: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/boris-johnson-brexit-strategy-chernobyl-meltdown

One government official who is close to Cummings claimed he was employing a “Jose Mourinho strategy”, a reference to how the former Manchester United and Chelsea football manager would often deliberately make inflammatory public interventions to attract media attention to himself and relieve pressure on his players.

While Cummings is expected to stand down from his role on October 31 — it is understood his wife has insisted he does not work beyond that date as he has been putting off surgery — his position is not under question until that point.

is he having a conscience fitted?

yeah not convinced this is a strategy as such - certainly not a successful one

Good time to point out that Mourinho hasn't won a league title in 7 years.

Amber Rudd = Eva Carneiro

Hodge apparently lost her trigger ballot so will have to go through reselection.

Not counting any chickens but I’ll have maracas.jpg on hand in case.

if we get a Corbyn government before she's deselected I'll be celebrating with posh booze, cos he's going to increase Carer's Allowance to the same as JSA \o/\o/\o/

I see it’s time for “Margaret Hodge defeated the BNP” fantasising again, as though she wasn’t literally criticised by Labour for some of the comments she made about housing!
https://theguardian.com/politics/2007/may/27/thefarright.communities

Was just jumping in here to mention that.

I know I always say how fucking awful Peston is, but Jesus fucking Christ

Lots of people think Cummings wants to blow everything up. For what it is worth, I think he sincerely believes that a second referendum would lead to much greater civil disorder and damage to the fabric of UK than a no-deal Brexit. He may be wrong, possibly grotesquely...

Not a good look for a political correspondent to Tweet that level of feigned naivety
