A student in Ghana became $500 richer
In her late thirties, Jenkyns studied for a degree in Economics from the Open University and for one in International Relations from the University of Lincoln. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Jenkyns

More questions for our parliamentary experts;
if the FS is not present for debates on his remit, where do we stand on Parliamentary privilege, does it apply to the whole estate?
And I assume someone will have to be paired for any vote

According to the Independent, no more than a dozen right wing Braverman supporters turned up to a meeting this evening to plot their next move. Apparently 30p was one of them.

I would assume there's a reason why this says "studied for" and not "attained"?

IIRC, Jenkyns was advised to study for an academic qualification in time for a PPC interview so she was ‘currently studying’ IR at university when the interview took place. Imagine what the other candidates were like. Her victory over Ed Balls was one of the reasons I now support a regional list system for candidates so parties can rank their best players.

Wasn’t Greg Hands in the constructive sensible gang when he was a business secretary?
Will Sadiq be dealing with that Greg Hands or an embarrassing wally firing out emails every day about Khan being woke?

You can guess my opinion of Scully.

Minister for London is quite the demotion. Or Minister of Cleaning Up After Susan Hall.

I’m assuming Jenkyns did a straight cut and paste from a Mail comments section, because that is utter gibberish.

I think she probably spewed it into a dictaphone for an unfortunate secretary, who cleaned it up a fair bit.

On the plus side, Tom Hunt has been sacked too.

Joy Morrissey and Mark Jenkinson are on the frontbench.
Downing Street has announced new appointments to the whips’ office. Stuart Anderson, Dame Amanda Milling, Joy Morrissey and Mike Wood have been made government whips, while Aaron Bell, Mark Fletcher, Mark Jenkinson and Suzanne Webb have been appointed assistant (ie, more junior) whips.
Aaron Bell is relatively sane for a 2019 entrant. The idea he's less senior than Joy Morrissey is mad.

Didn’t know Hunt had been given a job with access to sharp pencils. Sacked for mouthing off on behalf of Braverman. Cole tags a bloke from Texas.

Paul Scully looks like all 3 of the League of Gentlemen mashed together.

Tom Hunt can go and star in a sitcom alongside Crispin Blunt.

Joy Morrissey, aside from the oddity of those two words next to each other, she's only marginally less of a twat than Maurice E Smith. As for Jenkinson, he's a thug, so kinda fits. Doing the door at Mr Vitoni's in Barrow should be a shoo-in for him in a few months.

:lol:

Joy must be very disappointed Johnson and Hancock have sailed off into the sunset.
On 15 December 2021, Morrissey tweeted criticising the influence that unelected public health officials were able to exert on public policy during the Covid-19 pandemic, arguing that policy decisions should be made by those accountable to the public.

Hands is one of the most fully fledged cunts in an entire aviary of cunts.

Bit harsh, Hands is more a rudderless hack floating aimlessly in a sea of cunts.
