Hunt is lying- this isn't "official Treasury analysis" at all. It's Spad bollocks. And a massive misuse of public resources.

Popcorn head honcho Rees-Mogg understands railing against globalism while trousering millions as a global financial investor may look a tad hypocritical. Acts like a petulant entitled twat that he is instead of having a prepared riposte.

This is incredible. Ladies and gentlemen, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Laura Trott.

Evan Davis isn’t a big political animal but don’t try and hoodwink him on economics.

In case you missed how absolutely appalling someone called Laura Trott (incredibly, she is Chief Secretary to the Treasury) was last week, here ‘s Phil :

I’m sure there’s a few Putin apologists that Zac can chat to in The House of Lords

This would all ring more true if the right didn't piss its pants every time an articulate, knowledgeable (and actually accurate, rather than an over promoted apparatchik in a redstone tower) academic said something they don't like.

It's pretty daft for Zac to go down this road. Lots of the people he's trying to appeal to would put his "green crap" in the same category as trans rights.

Actual Minister here.
If these jobs are bad, why do they exist in her government too? Nice rejoinder BTL here.

I think it was Russell T Davies who said (in the context of Doctor Who featuring trans people, wheelchair users and more), that these people exist, and are a fact of life. You can't wish them away, and 'normal' people will have friends and family who are these protected characteristics types, and consider them as real people.
Unless you live in a very small village, or are rich enough (and awful enough) to limit who you come into contact with, that means you. It might be you who has a bad accident and ends up with restricted mobility. Or your kid who comes to identify as not what was on the birth certificate. Or anything else.

Maybe if the Tories hadn’t allowed developers to bend every rule going in order to maximise profit without any social responsibility, we might be moving towards solving the housing problem. Also, what’s he gibberish on about re water supply and sewage

What else is there for the Minister for Common to do? But yeah, this is her level anyway.
