We got back to the foetid shithole™ today and were instantly struck with the number of roadworks - could it be that in order to shore up the vote for the utterly useless Tory Elliiot Colburn the DoE is stumping up some levelling up money to mend the borough's potholed thoroughfares?

They'll dig the holes, and make Starmer's government pay to fill them in.

They're all at it

The standards watchdog has opened an investigation into the Conservative MP Bim Afolami over his registration of payments for chairing a pressure group that lobbied Rishi Sunak. The commissioner on parliamentary standards launched the inquiry over “registration of interests” under the code of conduct.

It is understood that the inquiry relates to the way in which Afolami registered his £2,000 payments from a lobbying firm, WPI Strategy, after he acknowledged earlier this year that it had not been done correctly.

The Guardian reported in May that Afolami declared in the register of interests that one of his private clients was a public affairs firm, WPI Strategy, which paid him £2,000 a month. But he did not mention that they were paying him for his work running the Regulatory Reform Group of MPs.

As chair of the group, Afolami had written to the prime minister calling for regulators to be better held to account, and pressed Sunak for change at prime minister’s questions in the House of Commons...

Setting aside the aesthetics arguments, at least Pugin was a notable architect in the day, and Gothic revival was the thing. Nowadays some MP knows a few developers who have just created a company to build government buildings, so let’s give them the contract

FTFY.
