It's called capitalism and I thought your lot were in favour of it.

Countdown to OUTRAGE!!! when the eggs don't even have EASTER!!! engraved into the chocolate.

Probably Ramadan eggs laid by Halal chickens

(or something)

[soulboy]

Let me know down below if you think Easter is coming too early?

Down below? OK, Jakey Boy, one swift kick to the knackers coming up as requested.

[davidjay]

It always comes as a revelation one way or another when a Tory MP comes into contact with reality.

Jesus certainly thought it was too early.

[Abernathy]

So the Tory path to victory is both narrow and steep. You might also add winding and strewn with slippery shite.

Think I’ll take Starmer’s long corridor with the highly polished floor every day of the week.

Cah ! Metaphors, eh ?

The Tory party tries to portray itself as the party of business but most MPs and minister don't appear to have a clue how business actually work. I can remember during in the Covid pandemic George Eustice really couldn't understand why McDonalds were not prepared to open many of their restaurants when the government would only let them operate at about 10% of normal capacity.

Jake Berry seems to be equally ignorant as to how supply chains work. My son works at Tesco's, he spent most of New Years Day helping to removing all the last remaining Christmas items from the seasonal aisle in the story which then meant they had a large aisle of empty shelves. Given that most Easter Eggs have a long shelf life they are better off out on the shop floor rather Chinese New Year, Burn's Night and Valentine's Day. These events end to be mainly food based so they are not suitable to put on the seasonal aisle.

[Andy McDandy]

Tory understanding of business seems to be based around a few things:

1. The CJ/Sralan Boss. The boss's job is to point at people and say "You're fired", or occasionally "Make it so" like a shit Picard. Underlings then go and make it happen, or remove the irritant. Remember, you don't need to know how things work, only that they work.

2. Gorra spodder cairsh? Then give it to one of those city-Johnnies, you know, clever chaps at Lloyds or wherever. They'll turn it into more cairsh.

Otherwise, business exists to make money for investors, the investor owes nothing to the company, and a happy workforce is just another way of saying capitulation to the unions.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Talking of unions, what happened to the policy of banning facility time? Has that happened, or did somebody explain to them that employers weren't that bothered?

[satnav]

The Tory party is trying to prove that it still has some standards by banning former UKIP boss Henry Bolton from joining the party.

[Watchman]

Setting an interesting precedent there. Let’s see who else, and on what grounds, membership is refused.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Is there a tension here between the central leadership - the 'grandees' and the membership, infiltrated as it has been by utter vermin?

[satnav]

I don't think Henry Bolton's social media output will have gone down particularly well with Tory HQ. Until the other week he was arguing that the Tories should have stuck with Truss, and he also has a tendency to retweet the dregs of society like Kelvin McKenzie and Mike Graham. Somebody a bit smarter that Bolton would have spent a bit of time deleting some of their tweets before applying to join a new party.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Shaun, legislator for life, here.

[Youngian]

Incredible the Tories found a London mayoral candidate even dimmer and more offensive than Shaun Bailey.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Interesting they've put Milliband not Starmer on this. Is anyone that bothered about Milliband anyway?

How is green energy bad for energy security anyway? It's buzzword stuff, isn't it? And to be honest not sure that sending mortgage rates sky high is something they should be mentioning too much.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Doctor's strikes the fault of the Opposition, apparently.

[Crabcakes]

These stats are astonishing, even in these circumstances. A government only 1% think is honest.

I think they may be in more electoral trouble than even they realise.

Rishi the cross-eyed cunt lying through his expensive teeth in TV interview. Unchallenged.

Completely normal country.

[Crabcakes]

Chris Skidmore has resigned the Tory whip and will resign as an MP in protest against North Sea oil drilling. Fair play to him on that.

Another by-election for Rishi to lose.
