The Tories stand accused of a secret policy to “openly lie” after a local party newsletter urges would-be politicians to ape Donald Trump and “weaponise fake news”.

Aberdeen council has voted to ask the UK Government for direct funding

The end of democracy.
I have the impression that Aberdeen City Council is a bit of a self serving gang so an appeal to the mothership might not be a surprise.Quote:

Boris Johnson has overruled the peerage watchdog to make former Tory treasurer Peter Cruddas a life peer.
The move went against the advice of the House of Lords Appointments Committee.
“Johnson has added 16 to his list of appointments bringing the total for the year up to 52 new peers over two lists. This list will bring the total in the House of Lords to over 830 – almost 200 more than the House of Commons,” Lord Fowler said.
830 peers, freakin astonishing :bitchy:
i note this article doesn't include the fact cruddas also donated 50k to johnsons campaign for leadership, not that he was looking for a return of favour of course
Probably to make up for him having to quit over cash for access affair?Quote:

"A points-based immigration system will put us in full control of who enters the UK and free movement will end.
"We have delivered this great deal for the entire United Kingdom in record time, and under extremely challenging conditions, which protects the integrity of our internal market and Northern Ireland’s place within it.
"We have got Brexit done and we can now take full advantage of the fantastic opportunities available to us as an independent trading nation, striking trade deals with other partners around the world."

Watching Johnson on Marr, and finding it utterly incomprehensible that the conservatives are holding support at around 40% in opinion polls. What on earth is wrong with people? What more will it take from this shower for them to lose support?

To this day I've only ever seen one proper interview of Johnson, and that was Eddie Mair's. Since then, he's only ever agreed to appear where he knows he's not going to get any proper scrutiny.Quote:

Got it, so by that logic Scotland won’t be “allowed” to hold a referendum on independence until 2055.Quote:

Agree. Other than an interview with Andrew Neil (where Boris for some idiotic reason tried to take Neil on, on a point of detail - GATT 24 para 5b) I've never seen anybody properly question him, and put him under pressure to answer.Quote:

They literally leave everything until the very last minute where the 'something' that they do is marginally better than doing nothing. Brexit, Covid... they can both be defined by the last minute actions of this bunch of charlatans.
The political system and the actions of politicians are beyond repair in this country now, imho. It needs a significant shake up.
