I think despite the double negative I would suggest the fact you voted Conservatives is a strong indication you probably backed them don’t you think.

You have to opt in to pay to Labour, the company I worked for donated to the Conservatives without asking our opinion. How the Brexit thing going enjoying your new freedoms and the 350m per week going to the NHS.

I voted conservative because they were the only main party at the time to say (rightly or wrongly) that they would see Brexit through - the disaster that was Corbyn made a right Horlicks of that issue

I never said I wanted Brexit- indeed I voted remain at the referendum because I thought it would be the disaster that it is. However the majority of the country voted for it and I felt it only right to implement it based on that, if they had another referendum tomorrow I would vote to go back in

Hope that’s clear enough for you to not misinterpret

Well, "levelling up" looks like another Bojo over promised load of cobblers.
I love that Education spending will at least reach 2010 levels by 2023 ?? UNBELIEVABLE

Just another Tory catchphrase with very, very little substance

Apparently according to one Conservative we in the North should not bite the hand that feeds us. I may be mistaken but I thought the Conservatives had been in power since 2010 but it would appear not if you listen to them.

Indeed

They are a busted flush and if Gove's levelling up agenda is what helped them into power, there really are some "blue blind" voters out there.
As an aside, I seem to remember Corbyn being ridiculed for his promise of broadband to every household and scoffed at because of the cost and yet, this is one of the three "pillars" of the "levelling up agenda" but, without the necessary resource.

Yet another senior Tory taking the nation for fools.

I don't need to thanks I know what it means in poker terms, please explain to me simply what having 4 cards of a certain suit and the last card being turned over of a different suit has anything to do with politics? having a busted flush is just plain unlucky not bad, are you saying that applies to the conservative party as well

On the broadband - just one subtle difference you forgot about,which is ultimately why he was ridiculed.

Just when you thought Nadine Dorries is the most embarrassing government minister in a large pool of candidates along comes Liz Truss our foreign Secretary. If you are trying to impress upon the Russians how serious you are it is probably better not to look stupid by stating that the Baltic states are across the Black Sea. I think the clue is the fact that they are the Baltic states not the Black Sea which is 700 miles away.
I suggest it would be better in the future if she travels by schedule flights because who knows where the private government jet would end up. I bet she was going to Austria when she ended up in Australia.

Re: Days since… : Wed Feb 02, 2022 9:05 pm  

Truss and Dorries are at the very top of most moronic cabinet members in my lifetime. For a lightweight, thick as mince idiot like Truss to be given one of the great offices of state is in itself a great example of Johnson's poor judgement. I can't think of another Prime Minister who would even let her into cabinet.
