    As in, there I was walking along the pavement in an honest conservative sort of a way, when suddenly I tripped over a loose paving stone, fell through a Turf Accounts shop door, whilst trying to keep my balance I accidentally picked up a betting slip and pen as a result of the severe head injury I didn't receive, to my horror I found that I accidentally put a large wedge on a date I thought a general election might accidentally happen on in an accidental sort of way?

    And so did my husband.

    It's not as outrageous as "There wasn't any parties/there was parties but I wasn't at them/I was at the parties but I didn't know they were parties."

    Another one being investigated for betting while an aide to (not so) Cleverly caught on film saying the Rwanda scheme is crap.

    People who vote for this lot are off their heads.

    That used to be quite a controversial thing to say on here. Your post has been up a day and even 18 months ago there would have been a few who would have been outraged. Maybe they're all siding with Farage these days.

    The Tories should be hung drawn and quartered for their abysmal performance during Covid. So much money wasted. They should never form a Government again and certain Ministers should be in prison.

    What on earth are we destroying it for. Surely these things have a long shelf life and can be stored somewhere so that got forbid another pandemic happens we have a slight head start?

    Also some do these items are still used by the NHS for surgeries and other uses. Why is it not just being distributed.

    Not sure about this particular ppe but a lot was found to be not fit for purpose.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Yep, a legitimate supplier, which begs the question, why has it been destroyed?

    Read last night that they had already spent £100m on storage so I’m guessing destroying is cheaper than maintaining storage long term. However £100m for storage seems outrageous too, probably renting a garage from Michelle Mone and her husband.

    Can't find the article but it was some Tory associate who was being paid to store some. Chinese Govt also being paid rent for PPE we bought but never bothered importing.

    Surely even a fraction of this stuff could be used in Gaza or Ukraine by humanitarian organisations!?

    Edit: I can tell you ****ing why in fact, because the Conservative/Reform voters would be foaming at the mouth at Daily Mail headlines like “£1b of TAX PAYER money sent to nasty foreigners”.

    The article said it was bought in 2020 and had a 3 year shelf life?

    Sounds like he thinks saying he and no one connected to him placed a bet in May gets him off the hook.

    Yep, if I keep saying May, no one will look at all the bets I placed in April.

    It's almost like when Bozo wasn't allowing parties during lockdown when Bozo was making speeches and proposing toasts at parties he attended during lockdown.

    Jack now admits to placing a winning bet in April, winning £120 but countering it with 2 losing bets he placed in March.

    Actually think his is nothing like the others who used information they learnt to make a profit. He put 3 bets on may, June and a July to September and won a small amount, obviously just fun. Grouping him diminishes the rest. It's not against the rules for politicians to bet on politics, that should change. Lewis Goodall on Newsagents was saying it's a tradition for candidates to bet against themselves. Needs to be a separation from the unwise to the illegal

    It is different but it should not be overlooked that it's been reported Jack was an advocate for an early GE and as a cabinet member had influence.

    He might have only won £120 but how many of his circle also had a bet?

    All MPs and officials should be banned from betting on politics like footballers are banned from betting on football (well I think they are)

    He also lost 2. The cabinet were shocked into a rage at Sunak throwing a fast election the tories weren't ready, no one knew in April including Sunak. If his circle made a bet the gambling commission will find out, so far 15 cases getting looked at for bets in may. Only a few will get done as they will have bet once knowing the information. Nothing can happen to the others as there isn't rules against politicians betting on political matters.
