Bud the Baker Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Treeza game them £1Billion, Boris gets away with £300Milion. Quote It comes as the UK government revealed that Northern Ireland would get nearly more than half of a £300million "growth deals fund" to support growth, create jobs or invest in local projects. Um, what happens if the deal doesn't get agreed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No freedom of movement. no guarentee to keep environmental and consumer standards, no comitment to retain workers rights. No comitment to frictionless EU trade. I can go on. But it would mean that tax dodging would not be clamped down on. So good news for Reece-Mog and Johnstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) I see our PM is bringing his comedy roadshow to Westminster today at 11:30. Edit - Apparently the Tories (& the DUP - Kerching! )have made a reasonable compromise and if it all goes pear shaped it'll be everybody else's fault.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 In his conference speech yesterday Johnson claimed that tories have wiped out the national debt.It's currently around 1.8 trillion more than double what it was when tories came to power in coalition in 2010.Broadcasters don't seem to be picking up on this. Another day, another Johnson lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 One major drawback with these sessions where the PM answers quetions is that every other one is given to backbench Tory MPs who put soft non-questions to the PM - today's examples all include universal congratulations to the PM for his temperate language - although I see he's already starting to slip!

Bud the Baker Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I see BJs ex-rival for the job Rory Stewart has resigned from the Tory party in a speech where he read out BJs school report from 1982 Stewart is another old-Etonian whose main qualification for the job seemed to be his privileged background - I won't miss him. Quote “Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies,” the letter begins. Out of all his high-jinks & misdemeanours this is not even on the list of my grievances with BJ as it will have affected no one but himself.

Agreed...….……. we have so many "celebrity" MPs these days, who seem to have the ability to announce, with passion and conviction , their stances, and then 2 months later announcing the total opposite ……………….. with little or no justification...………... Have to say- there is No party I agree with and NONE OF THE ABOVE should be on all future ballot papers- just give everything to the Supreme Court and be done with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit hard, there, on someone who is (despite his Etonian background) perhaps not a bad guy. He’s definitely not cut from the self serving cloth of those others, has done some amazing selfless things and got relevant experience in governing in a shit-hole country. All before he became an MP. here’s a clip from his wiki: After education at Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford, Stewart became a diplomat, working in Indonesia and Montenegro. He left the civil service to undertake a two-year walk across Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, India and Nepal. He later wrote a best-selling book, The Places in Between, about his experiences. He subsequently served as a Deputy Governor for the Coalition Provisional Authority following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and wrote a second book covering this period, Occupational Hazards or The Prince of the Marshes. He later lectured at Harvard and worked for several non-governmental organizations, including as executive chairman of the Turquoise Mountain Foundation. Updated: I see that I won’t miss him either... if he runs to be Mayor of lovely LONDON! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/04/rory-stewart-resigns-from-conservative-party NB my above statement about experience gained running a shit-hole of a country, is patently not relevant in a lovely London context.

antrin Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Aye, on the other hand, he IS Scottishy apparently.
