Look at this disgrace. Having a relative somewhere doesn't mean you support the government of that place, how pathetic.

Note the seamless move from Humza Yousaf to Sadiq Khan too, even though their views on the ceasefire are the same as Andy Burnham. Why might he have left out Manchester, eh?

Dark mutterings about how Khan and Yousaf shouldn't be allowed to be candidates in a later post.

The Cross of Honour of the German Mother (German: Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter), referred to colloquially as the Mutterehrenkreuz (Mother's Cross of Honour) or simply Mutterkreuz (Mother's Cross), was a state decoration conferred by the government of the German Reich

Stalin also instituted breeding medals.

In his defence the date was 1944, and his nation had suffered severe population decline.
He was behind some, but not all of that.

Because men's reproductive bits last longer than women's all soldierly men should marry a young woman whilst young and whelp as many pups as possible (come on lads, it's your duty, poke for Prussia). When the young woman hits her middle years, and is either dead or knackered from constant pregnancy, she is set aside to look after the bairns and he gets another go with a young maiden and gets her ständig schwanger. I think 15 years was mentioned.

Rinse and repeat if possible until senility or a well aimed musket ball ends the fun.

Can't give you a reference because I'm remembering this from first degree stuff and that's a long time ago now...

A man whose largest contribution to military thinking was' friction'.

That and Total War...

Ha ha ha. McVey is this stupid.

Lucy Frazer not distinguishing herself here. Looking like someone who needs to worry more about Lib Dems coming for her. Or does she have some Cambridge car commuter backlash she can surf?

I like Sophy Ridge. She's a mensch.

Had a feeling Lucy’s GE2019 election poster would come in handy for the next one.

Tory MP accidentally advocates state seizure of private sector assets by mistake.

Tories used to fall out over huge consequential fault lines like Europe or economic policy. This pathetic panto is an inevitable consequence of the crazies and chancers winning those previous battles. The Mail’s mist is so red they’ve forgotten how to write a snappy headline.
At least the bastards under Major would
go on the record, apart from 30p Leenoch it’s this source and that source said.

Rishi Sunak is warned he risks a mutiny from the Tory Right if he sacks Suella Braverman following her unauthorised attack on police handling of Pro-Palestine marches

'Without Suella it would have been Boris, not Rishi,' the source said. 'He owes her big time and although he might want to forget it, we haven't. If he tries to sack her it will end very badly for him.'

Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson said: 'The Home Secretary is only saying what most people are thinking.

'She is allowed to comment on and criticise the Met Police. Anyone who thinks her comments are outrageous needs to get out more.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... rches.html

Is there a conservative person anywhere in the world who doesn't think that everyone agrees with them? It's engrained in the conservative mindset.: "we're the silent majority", "just saying what everyone is thinking". They ALL do it.

Ha ha ha. Sebastian Payne

It really is time for Sunak to grow some goolies. Mutiny, is it? Letters to Graham Brady? Right, I’m calling the fucking election now. See how you like losing your seats PDQ, you cunts.

He won’t, of course, because he’s a lily-livered twat.

Invertebrate Rishi.

Thing is, he's got nothing left to lose.

First BME PM? Done.
Safe Tory seat? Done.
Not the shortest serving PM ever? Done.
Never wonder about where the money's coming from? Done.
Fuck off the lot of you, I'm off to California/India/some island somewhere? Doable.
Hit his 5 big targets? Nah.

He may as well, because the alternative is just dragging it out.

His one and only mission is to cling on as long as possible while he crams any movable national assets into his family portfolio.

Average drop in council by-elections last night of 13-14% if my maths is right.

A few people BTL pointing out that this is Sunak's own target. The Government's official inflation target is 2%.

Still if we do get 5%, I assume all those rightwingers who were attacking the Bank of England are going to recant, right?

Lying Danny Kruger here. Or Danny can't do maths, You decide. i'll go for both.
