He means that the money has already been taxed when it was used to buy the house.

I swear, it isn’t you. The argument really is that shit.

Let's not forget that Iain Duncan-Smith made his money the old fashioned way, he bagged himself a rich wife. Anybody who married into money is going to be in favour of cutting inheritance tax.

The human cloaca, he opens his mouth and shit comes out.

Man's a cunt. And a thick one at that.

People emote about the elevations to the Lords by our various failed PMs of traitors and nonentities - but they are missing the point. The Tories are packing the HofL with their placemen and women in order to increase their power to wreck government business when they are out of government. It's very anti-democratic, authoritarian, fascistic.

See also the BBC, the support for right-wing press proprietors and the VIP lane. The closing down of legitimate debate and dissent. The criminalisation of criticism.

It's a quiet, hidden coup, happening under our noses, and the poor befuddled public can't see it, or aren't allowed to see it.

Meanwhile, anyone who points this out gets lumped in with the anti-vax, WEF, you will own nothing lunatics.

Meanwhile they whinge about the "Liberal left's march through the institutions".

They concoct fake enemies from the National Trust, RNLI, BBC and now Parkrun.

And 11 months of the year, ConservativeHome posts a digest of public appointment vacancies to encourage their unhinged readership to pollute the public sector.

The liberal left who are marching through institutions- or as some of us might call it, a bunch of new people reaching management roles who have no doubt voted for all 3 main parties.

Tottenham Conservatives here with the genius that has failed to get them to 15% since 2000.

The Police look relatively in control here, on the scene quickly in numbers. Certainly more than they were in 2011, in loads of locations. By this logic, we should have chucked out Bozo and David Cameron for that.

There's a lot of it about: Mellor, Cameron, Sunak.


Is the Tory party a marriage bureau for wealthy women seeking bellends?

Anyone got a membership form please?

Daddy in law in serious big business, preferably with a title. Wife holds the purse strings and ensures hubby sticks to the script. A tale as old as time.

I’ve been pondering this all of my life. That the Tories are wrong is, for me, of course a given, but how is it that the Tories are reliably wrong about absolutely fucking everything?

Obviously nothing to see here:

UK ministers asked to explain fourth delay to Covid wine cellar report

Ministers have been asked to explain why a report on the UK government’s consumption of wine during the Covid pandemic has been delayed four times over the last year.

Labour said the Foreign Office, which holds the government’s wine collection, should publish the data on its stocks for 2020 to 2022 immediately, as the delay was causing suspicion about how much had been used.

The stock list was originally meant to be published in “early 2023”, was subsequently scheduled for July and then ministers later said it would appear in the autumn.

The last update was from Andrew Mitchell, a Foreign Office minister, who answered a parliamentary question saying it would be published “before the Christmas recess” – but it never materialised by the end of the parliamentary term.

The prolonged postponement of the report has raised concerns in the Labour party that the government could be delaying publication until a general election makes it impossible.

Emily Thornberry, the shadow attorney general, said: “One of the ways we know the government is gearing up for an election in May is that they have started running down the clock on all kinds of publications in the hope of delaying disclosure until the purdah period kicks in. We are seeing it in their repeated extension of freedom of information deadlines, we are seeing it in their delays of departmental transparency data, and now we are even seeing it in relation to this wine cellar report.

This lot are. Not all Tories in the past were.

They have been bleeding and drinking the country dry? Colour me surprised.

Since the early eighties.

The Federation of Conservative Students introduced "Hang Nelson Mandela" as a purity test for members.
That generation of Tory edgelords provided Cameron, Johnson and many of their outriders (Farage / Tice).
People who checked any semblance of conscience at the door for the opportunity at wealth / power (delete according to personal circumstances).

They've influenced the following generation, who mostly embody "This editorialising / politicking sure beats working for a living".

Toss in a bit of Dominic Cummings and GB News for a perfect clusterfuck.

They've been active for 30 years polluting our politics and media.

We’re not a bunch of nutters, claims a nutter group member. How is demonising parents in desperate poverty a measure of your success?

A Conservative MP has claimed most children who struggle in his constituency are the “products of crap parents”.

James Daly, the MP for Bury North, was outlining what the New Conservatives group of MPs stood for when he presented his perspective on how important a family unit is in giving children “stability”.

Daly said: “I think New Conservatives represent very much working-class conservatism. We’re not a strange rightwing sect. It’s just people who want to give people the best chance to succeed and thrive in life. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... 1703849969

This stuff was one of the reasons they went down the pan in the 90s. Cameron managed to persuade them to lay off the gays, so the poor families cop an extra share.

If Dominic Cummings is back on board he can find out who’s responsible for this skip fire.
