Probably a ‘Chris Grayling for Cabinet’ splinter group.
Probably a ‘Chris Grayling for Cabinet’ splinter group.People on Twitter were having a right go at Penny Mordaunt (as she seemed to be angling for the Defence job) as being hopelessly unqualified for the role. And then they do THIS???
At least knows what a military base looks like (and not just, while Transport Secretary, as a place to park lorries waiting to cross the Channel because your Brexit-busting freight provider doesn't actually have any ships).
Yeah, though probably not the same demographic trolling her today, in all honesty!!Not that long ago people were touting her for PM because she carried a sword.
They’ve known about it since 2018 when a school roof collapsed. Although in reality they knew about it before then. RAAC only ever had a design life of 30 years so successive governments should have been addressing this issue for decades. God knows why we were still using it on construction of public buildings into the 90’s.Known about it since June. Imagine the reaction of the mail and their scummy ilk if kids were going to miss the start of term because of action by the teachers?

Some of the very establishments on which our great nation is founded on are literally falling apart.
Exactly. I'm already predicting in 4 years time there will be an investigation about wasted funds.Line up for the school rebuilding VIP lane, no experience necessary
Looks like they waited as long as possible before there was a serious risk of collapse. These fuckers really need to call an election and just let someone else have a go, they stopped caring ages ago.Some of the very establishments on which our great nation is founded on are literally falling apart.
But some people on here won't vote Labour because...Starmer.
I fucking despair.

Their excuse will be that they had to action the upgrades quickly, forgetting the fact they've known about this for 4 years.
And people will accept it.

There are a few hospitals in a similar position, that's part of what prompted "the new hospitals programme""Don't worry"... I was taking the piss. Tories never fail to Impress.View attachment 31697

I think it'll be closer than people think.Labour will win by a huge majority - I wouldn’t worry about it
The way our system works that's doubtful - but you know that!Labour will win by a huge majority - I wouldn’t worry about it
Only if a candidate appears locally that I want to vote forAnswer the question please.
You're assuming someone other than the Tories would win.Looks like they waited as long as possible before there was a serious risk of collapse. These fuckers really need to call an election and just let someone else have a go, they stopped caring ages ago.
Interesting article for those that didn’t see the news yesterday's that U.K. GDP had actually recovered pre pandemic levels by end of 2021. The swing/upward revision of about 1.7% (which is huge over a two year period)
The UK actually fared much better after COVID than first thought - here's why it matters
The Office for National Statistics has made some pretty dramatic upward revisions for 2020 and 2021 - and negativity among investors, households and businesses about lacklustre UK growth may have been misguided.news.sky.com
Obviously unrelated to the shitshow in various other areas at the moment (school closures, record hospital waiting lists, strikes etc) and I still feel that both us and a lot of the west are in for tough times in the short term but always nice to see some slightly more positive news.
The way our system works that's doubtful - but you know that!
Problem is that election was needed last year, never mind in another 15 months. The government now is just engaged in neglect of the country.I think it will be a huge majority
Johnson’s majority was false really and mainly over the brexit argument - they’d even have won seats in Coventry if it wasn’t for the brexit vote split
Most of those seats will go back anyway
You’ve then got a party in government for a decade which never goes well and a backdrop of inflation and cost of living which brings governments down
Labour will benefit from the exposure of tbe SNP as a corrupt and incapable political party
It’s going to be a very dull election when Starmer - like Cameron - will essentially win by default
That bit I do agree with - main opportunity for Labour that although, ironically, to keep those seats going forward they need a few more lefty policies. Their decline in Scotland can probably date back to Blair really.Labour will benefit from the exposure of tbe SNP as a corrupt and incapable political party

‘They always do it’ doesn’t mean they should. Gordon Brown could have carried on for another 2 years, mind you.Which is an entirely irrelevant point - governments always cling onto power - look at the Callaghan government of the 70’s
Also look at the behaviour of the Corbyn opposition when they refused to being Johnson’s minority government down as they knew they’d lose an election
‘They always do it’ doesn’t mean they should. Gordon Brown could have carried on for another 2 years, mind you.
