Translation I got my money bitches.

[Nu-Eclipse]

Translation I know I'm unlikely to be voted back in by my constituency after f--k--g the economy and their mortgages and their living standards, and anyway I got my lucrative post-political career money sorted bitches.

Corrected.

After he crashed the economy he went to a Champaign social with hedge fund managers who had told him to stick to his budget, they bet against the pound and made a killing, many think his crash was deliberate and made a lot of people very, very rich including himself.

He was certainly a memorable politician, I would of liked to see him in the spotlight longer than 2 week as he obviously had a coke problem, that video of him off his tits at the queens' funeral where he is laughing to himself and then unable to keep still in the two minutes silence was pretty blatant.

A new Bristol NHS Dentists opened on Monday has ably demonstrated the future of NHS Dentistry with the Tories:

Sunak faces MP's wrath for making a cheap anti-trans PMQ's jibe whilst Brianna Ghey's mother is the gallery. The Tories are now refusing to offer an apology.

And getting killed in the press for it, Sunak really showed himself up here and good on Starmer his response was spot on

"I think the role of the prime minister is to make sure every single citizen in this country feels safe and respected"

Even the usually quiet on these type of storys BBC is running this on the front of their website, so he's massively screwed up here and really misjudged the situation.

[Protocol Penguin]

What a callous prick our pocket-sized prime minister is.

[fishbowlhead]

And yet it doesn't matter at all does it, because there's no repercussions whatsoever for him.

Funnily enough Esther Ghey seemed to show which side she had time for more:

Judging by the replies to her post (and visiting Twitter - and it is Twitter for the first time in months), there don't seem to be many in agreement.

Sadly she is in a seat that is very likely to remain Tory at the next GE :/

[Neon Ignition]

The hope will rest on that she plays to a part of the party that is about to have its numbers vacuumed out of their seats in the next election so will be stuck unheard on the fringes once the party finally comes around to the reality of their situation and how they got there.
