    Laura Kuenssberg just asking Gove a very valid question in that should the PM vote for the findings of the report simply to confirm his support for parliamentary sovereignty and the parliamentary process. You could argue that for all ministers. Simply abstaining is probably worse than voting...

    Indeed. The best way to make Sunak look competent and professional is to show Boris for exactly what he is. Sunak can’t run on his record, character assassination on Starmer isn’t cutting through, all he has left is at least I’m not Boris. The worse he can make Boris look the better he (Sunak)...

    Can’t see it in this parliament. Too many Tory cronies involved for the Tories to do it. It might be for the next government to do it. You would think they would for political gain too given that it’s largely Tory cronies who benefited, especially where PPE is concerned. The next government...

    Shit party too. May as well not had it.

    The Ground Deal

    Yeah but apart from that.

    The Ground Deal

    Well, yeah. Technically in the end I suppose they did. Minus the interest payments they didn’t get their capital back though.

    The Ground Deal

    But they did. So I’m not sure what your point is.

    The Ground Deal

    You’ve just said it yourself, they brought the liabilities. I’ve not said it was contingent being repaid though the bond issue. But the liability they brought had a commitment to pay it back. It’s just ridiculous to say otherwise.

    The Ground Deal

    Of course it did. Stop being ridiculous. It didn’t have an obligation to pay it off early but they brought it with a payment plan. Many on here were complaining that they paid it off early because it robbed the taxpayer of the interest payments.

    The Ground Deal

    Taking on the debt was obviously part of the deal. Otherwise why would they have used the bond money to pay it off? Unless you’re suggesting it was some sort of “charitable” donation to the council that just happened to be equal to the debt I’m not sure what point it is you think you’re making.

    The Ground Deal

    They paid the £13.4 back after the bond. All here in the Lego Heads article after the bond money was raised. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/wasps-pay-back-134m-ricoh-9201559.amp

    The Ground Deal

    Did Wasps buy ACL unencumbered? Why did SISU insist that they were only interested in buying ACL if it was unencumbered? The answer is no to the first question and because ACL was in debt to the second.

    The Ground Deal

    Debt noun a sum of money that is owed or due. ACL was in debt by the very definition.

    So Johnson has a new job writing a column in the Mail starting Saturday and guess what. He’s broke the rules again. Given his position as a former minister he’s required to apply for approval before accepting the job. No suggestion that it wouldn’t have been approved but the fact is he just...

    Anyone had to see/buy a property

    Can take a long time for other reasons too. My brother was executor for my grandmothers Will which included selling her house. The reason she chose my brother was because she was leaving everything to her 6 grandchildren and she knew my brother wouldn’t take any shit and do things to the latter...

    They often hide in plain sight if the opportunity is there. Just look at all the world of entertainment. Savile, Harris, Glitter, Schofield. Then there’s the culture within the police force.

    A very hypothetical question but what happens to the 90 day suspension now he’s resigned? Suppose he stood in one of the by-elections as and independent or a member of another party and then got elected to parliament. Was the slate wiped clean (so to speak) because he resigned or would he be...

    Exactly what he did after Truss was ousted. Him and his cult tried to blag he had or would have the numbers to get on the ballot paper knowing full well he didn’t and wouldn’t. Presumably in the hope that Sunak would buy it, pull out leaving Boris the only candidate and therefore take the job by...

    They also voted unanimously on the findings. The idea that it was all Harriet Harmans doing as the likes of Rees-Mogg are trying to promote is ridiculous.
