Exactly, hes worth around £200m, £30 petrol is the equivalent to 0.026p to the average person.

i doubt he claimed it anyway but I did know a director who was on probably £150 grand easily and claimed a bag of polo mints
his wealth is irrelevant

It is irrelevant. They're entitled to do it and are not breaking any laws. Says a lot about the type of person they are though.
Not that it relates to Rishi because we've no idea if he is or isn't claiming for it (though it would have to be under PR expenses (which IMO is a bullshit (sorry) expense to claim from the public purse for an elected official) if it wasn't his own car).

He’s right. A change in trading intensity with the EU was predicted. And then dismissed as project fear by literally every current serving cabinet member. The serving government wasn’t expecting this. Unless they lied as part of the leave campaign.

I fully believe anyone holding public office, but especially in central Government, should resign if they have broken the law on this issue.
Our Civil Liberties were strictly contained during this time.
Do as I say, not do as I do mentality.
I think we should have the right to know who the people who received the fines are. It is in the public interest.

Twenty fines to be issued over No 10 lockdown parties
Police say 20 fixed penalty notices will initially be issued over Downing Street parties that broke the law.

Let's not worry about if they're very capable or not, but banish them from office six months after a story breaks about a party two years ago. It's not like there is a war going on or a worldwide pandemic or pending financial crisis or anything else of note happening at the moment. As I said before, if they're not fit for office vote them out, if the PPE contracts were illegally handed out and they've profited from it, sack them and jail them but only the UK with our lazy pointless tabloid driven society could Partygate still dominate headlines.

Yeah, let's not worry if our elected leaders follow the rules they make themselves and expect others to follow.
I mean... that's the very definition of incapable really.

Government employees/possibly ministers/possibly the PM himself break the law on government property and you’re surprised it’s headline news.
Also it wasn’t a party, it was multiple parties. 22 at the last count IIRC. They’re repeat offenders.

They don’t give a shit for this reason!! People move on and then you’re unpatriotic mentioning it again because we should all move on, integrity is an under valued trait in all areas of public life

it seems war ravaged Ukrainians rather like Mr Johnson
Boris Johnson's popularity in Ukraine is rubbing off at home
New polling shows the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's popularity among British voters has leapt 11 points in a week.

A) didn’t you say that Boris should just let them get on with it and not support them. So basically you’re so desperate to celebrate a Boris “victory” you’ll even take it when you categorically disagree with him.it seems war ravaged Ukrainians rather like Mr Johnson

B) I wonder how many Ukrainians trying to navigate the UK’s asylum system were asked.

Bit of a non story really. I think Karl Turner summed it up (and Corbyn was leader of the opposition at the time)
He probably sent that message to everyone given a peerage and all new members of Parliament despite their party.
Funny how hes tweeted that on the day everyone's talking about party gate. I smell a dead cat.

Hang on a minute, I thought this whole Lebedev story was irrelevant and immaterial because he's not a political figure, or whatever your excuse was?
Your amazing double standards at work again.
What the fuck does Macron have to do with this?
You think it would be difficult for someone like him to get the number of a bloke that owns two newspapers? Really?
How many times has he been to his Italian villa I wonder?

Starmer tries to take the moral high ground - now it’s revealed (something Mr Starmer has refused when questioned to admit) that he congratulated him on a peerage. No doubt he also backed Mr Corbyn on trying g to get a certain abusive dirty misogynistic creep elected as well as he tried to stop the democratic will of the people.
Mr Starmer is clearly not whiter than white despite attempts to portray him as such

Very possibly. Wouldn't have put it past a hard working genuine politician like Thatcher to do similar.you honestly think he sends a text to everyone getting a peerage

What are Labour trying to present themselves as at the next election?
Grendel

we will know soon enough. He will show these texts (though I’m sure he refused to confirm when challenged he sent this one) and every elected Tory peer can confirm they received one can’t they?
