How are Labour anti-nuclear?! And why wasn't this revival launched in the previous 13 years, one might ask?

If you scroll down it says they didn't commission any in the 13 years they were in power before the next 13 years when they weren't. This is pathetic stuff.

Haven’t they basically stole Labour’s plans but they aren't even as good. I’m pretty sure they did commission some though.

Cameron and Clegg blocked its building saying it would take too long to build, would have come online about the time Putin kicked off on Ukraine. Hmmm

Thanks Ian.

@Tubby Isaacs please remember to add some context. Just because you know what you're talking about it doesn't follow that everyone else does. Especially in a thread about random Tories doing random stuff that jumps around from one subject to another.

Today's PMQ was the last before the summer recess. Usual shit, nothing particularly noteworthy save for Sunak going balls-deep on the 40 new hospitals claim, announcing even more, and coming across as if he'd had a pep talk from Gove.

That said, do the BBC know something we don't?

PM asked about video of Tory MP 'lauding' Taliban
Reform UK MP Mark Francois said his colleagues on the defence select committee were shocked by a recent video of their chairman and Tory MP, Tobias Ellwood, "lauding" the leadership of the Taliban after a recent visit to Afghanistan.

There's a photo that exudes "Want to speak to the manager".

I expect a full retraction:

The BBC wishes to apologise for describing MP Mark Francois as "Reform UK".
Please disregard this.
We intended to describe him as "Inadequate cunt".

They've fixed it now. No apology though!

Fair point.
The London mayor election is probably due a thread of its own.

I think they've given up.

He's just trying to get money out of people on the internet.

Old habits, aand all that.

This doesn't even work as a rhetorical quip, let alone an actual letter.

No wonder they see Nigel Farage's bank account as a big political opening.

When a local UKIP branch put out this kind of amateurish twaddle, taxpayers weren’t footing their salary.

This looks sub-optimal.

The papers reporting a swizz to the tune of 140,000 GBP. Lemme guess; neither went to Eton or Millfield.

More of this sort of corrupt shit to come when their wheeze to change PCC elections to first past the post comes to fruition.

I know we're not supposed to use language like this - terribly uncouth what what - but these people are scum.

Interesting article on one town’s plan to get round FPTP and remove the Tories for the first time in nearly a century. I hope it works, and is picked up elsewhere.

This is all true, to a point, Lord Copper.

The thing is: people being safe where they live is quite a different case to, oh, say, 'do we send a navy after a submersible of people looking for a shipwreck, entirely voluntarily?'

And so on. It's weasly to hide behind the logic alone.
