There was no way Patel was going to be sacked after the Cummings debacle. The only good thing is it further erodes trust in the nasty party. The fact that the times and the telegraph are openly critical constantly tells you how bad these are ********s are. Utter ****bags with not one ounce of moral fibre amongst them. None of them would ever get a decent job if it wasn’t for the old school tie routine.
Don't you mean the Cummins debacle.Quote:

Dads don’t like bullies. That Patel needs to watch herself.
I think there's similarities between Trump's inner circle and the current UK Cabinet. They all have so much dirt on each other that if one of them gets the elbow, then it's mutually assured destruction. It's for that reason I believe Cummings is still on the inside.Quote:

Boris Battles Experts To Save Christmas!
Front page of the Express.
I see Phillip Rutland wasn't even interviewed for the inquiry into Patel's behaviour. What a joke.
One of the indirect benefits of the covid vaccine roll out is that it brings the end of some of the main players of this government ever closer.
An enquiry into the handling is inevitable and it will take place relatively soon after a return to normality. Whilst none of the devolved administrations are likely to come out of it well, the maim criticisms are going to be aimed at the UK govt. It simply won't be allowed to be a whitewash so there will be an expectation of resignations. I don't think any of the main players will want to hang around for that.
Johnson tendering his resignation on his own terms mid next year and taking up a life of paid consultancies and writing columns is highly likely imo.
Jesus wept.Quote:

Trump doesn’t sack those who deserve it. He sacks anyone and everyone who disagrees/speaks out against him. Of which there have been a few.Quote:

If you had told me 35 years ago that a group of politicians would come along that were more despicable than the PM back then I would have laughed at you. But you would have been right. That PM governed by the principles she had, even though they were anathema to me. But she wasn’t a criminal (at least not in the formal sense), corrupt or a compulsive liar. Nor someone who condoned workplace bullying.Quote:

The report from the enquiry into the cluster**** that has been the tory response to the pandemic will make you think you've been living in a parallel universe this past year.
Yeah, apparently asked for the Patel report to be "palatable". Clearly had no interest in the truth which has been the case since he was a journalist making up quotations.Quote:

Here is a genuine first - a Tory at pains to uncover the truth. (No, I'm not kidding).
Step forward Neil O'Brien MP *

* almost certainly in the wrong party. :wink:
In the interests of balance you should have started a thread "Torys tell the truth".Quote:

Ben Bradley in the news again, this time for failing to get Martin Luther King. He's certainly stepped up recently to fill the howling void created by Fatty Francois's unexplained media disappearance.
And more....that nice Charlie Elphicke this time https://www.theguardian.com/law/2020...eferences-case
This is the beginning of another cycle where Johnson is the new damage sink and the papers, and subsequently the public, will all forget anything bad ever happened and all go back to loving everything about the Tories when Sunak replaces him. It's exactly the same as what happened with May.

You're maybe thinking of 'MLK' being used as rhyming slang for 'end away', but I didn't intend it like that. Family board and all.Quote:

Michelle Ballantyne has resigned for some reason. I'm guessing it's an anti-lockdown thing?
She thinks the Tories have drifted too far to the left!! Probably off to join UKiP or Galloway's bunch of nutballsQuote:
