Another spectacular week in Toryland!

I'm not sure those things applied to Thatcher's time ronib.

Even so, it does seem as if the Tory Party have been incredibly lucky, if what you blame has been the complete answer.

Unlucky PMs are not popular, unlucky parties would, I think, be less so. It would probably pay the Conservatives to give some background figures as to what wasn't spent and then where this money, and the higher taxes, went.

working out working it out

DAR so Phil Moorhouse studied astrophysics at University of Manchester - a seriously difficult subject- so I am surprised to find no mention of the obvious triggers for higher spending. Covid, furlough, transition to net zero, war in Ukraine and the energy crisis are all in the mix and the video doesn’t even mention them. Oh dear …..

So, if what us said in the video is true - and I believe the background of the presenter would make him capable of working out, where has all the money gone each time the Conservatives were in power?

MaizieD you are hilarious 😂

Please watch it if you are going to reply to it. And no, that is not telling you what to do, just asking for reasonably good manners)

Good Lord. How to tell posters what to do without telling them what to do 😮

Remember Thatcher's claim that "the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money". Thus video gives us a different view on those words.

This is going to be an interesting week, as so many outlets are reporting that letters of no confidence are flying into the 1922.

It remains to be seen what happens, but I can’t see how the Tory party can possibly inflict yet another unelected PM on the country!

When did Sunak become PM? They can't bring a no confidence against him until he's been in for a year. Mind you, we can't be far off and they could always send the men and women and in grey suits.

What will happen to the economy if they decide to run away now, as more people realise the threat posed by the austerity lagacy?

According to John Soper, Keegan has signed off a £34 million to refurbish her offices.

Apparently Gillian Keegan claims she didn't know about this! Nothing to do with her!

And as far as the Tories are concerned schools (only state ones) and sewage have much in common.

Sorry, couldn't resist, isn't every week a 'sewage week' in Toryland?

Oh no! I thought it was Tory Schools Week but according to today's reports about water company outflows it might be Tory Sewage Week.

I think in auto correct world John Soper is probably Lisa Nancy’s long lost brother. I was just thinking today that this government reminds me of the circumlocution office in Martin Chuzzlewit.

Just a fact check...did you mean John Sopel?

Probably😄😄

Yes, astonishing that only 55% believe that this Government is corrupt. On the other hand, only 15% feel that it is not. So, 30% don't have a view. (Byline Times)

34million? Is the office crumbling and stuffed with asbestos

Apologies if this has been mentioned but is it true that Gillian Keegan has just signed off a 34 million pound deal to refurbish her offices? It can’t be true can it?

😄 according to John Soper it is true.

55% of people think that the government is sleaze ridden and corrupt.

What on earth is wrong with the other 45% that they can't see what is going on?

How about if we change the sentence to exchange"the world" to "the western world". She wouldn't be far out.

Talking with a friend who thought we are the most corrupt country in the world? we are far from it,imagine what life is like for those who are in the most corrupt countries, at least we can eventually boot them out, if enough people put their brains in gear!

Your friend obviously hasn’t travelled much outside the UK.

Apparently it is the interviewers fault that Keegan swore😄😄😄.

So she said sorry on his behalf

She even grinned when she was supposedly apologising. This on top of saying, on A level results day, that in a few years time they would be irrelevant. Oh, they’ve just said Sunak has full confidence in her. We know what that means…..she’s toast!

Since when should the cabinet be thanked for doing the job which they should have done in the past?
.Gillian Keegan shows how unfit for the job she is and then tries to blame schools.Her interview with the BBC? is painful to watch .
Makes a pair with don't blame me Sunak.
