Used to work for a firm providing publicly funded training for apprentices in the building services sector (mainly sparks and plumbers). The firm was owned jointly by Unite and an employer association with money provided by a Labour government. The biggest client in the London area was err Pimlico Plumbers. Tax payer funded corporate welfare has been a nice little earner for cheeky Charlie.

It's a joy to read Marina Hyde's latest bit about DynoRod, "the world’s oldest boyband member" and part of the "international arseoisie", and his decision to take his millions and a female companion who is doubtless his granddaughter to Marbella and Dubai.

Enjoy!

From The Torygraph :
The establishment blocked me from laying wreath at Cenotaph, claims Nigel Farage
Story by Genevieve Holl-Allen • 13h • 2 min read

Nigel Farage has claimed “the establishment” blocked him from laying a wreath at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday alongside other party leaders.

The Reform UK leader said the party was told it could not lay a wreath as it only has five MPs, and a party must have at least six MPs to be able to take part in that aspect of the ceremony.

Mr Farage, along with Carla Denyer, the co-leader of the Green Party, instead watched the proceedings from a balcony.

Gavin Robinson, the leader of the DUP, had a public-facing role in the ceremony as he also laid a wreath despite his party only having five MPs.

Government sources later pointed to an addendum to the 1984 protocol, which stipulates that “the party with the most sitting MPs from each of the devolved nations should be given the opportunity to lay a wreath” even if the party has fewer than six seats.

The Speaker, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Northern Ireland Office, the Chief Whip and the Royal Household have all agreed to the change.

‘Reform will have enough MPs’
Plaid Cymru and the SNP have a separate agreement, in place since 2001, where they have a joint wreath and take it in turns to lay it on alternate years.

Nigel Farage told GB News that after the next election Reform will have enough MPs for him to take part.

He said: “I personally am not complaining but other people are.”


Richard Tice, the deputy leader, called it a “shameful stitch-up”, writing on X: “We got more votes than Lib Dems, SNP and DUP combined, yet they all laid wreaths.”

Meanwhile, the Government appears to have turned down Mr Farage’s offer to act as an intermediary between the UK and US in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory in the US election.

Asked whether Downing Street would take up his offer Darren Jones, a Treasury minister, said: “I think that’s probably unlikely.

“My advice to Mr Farage would be he might want to concentrate his efforts on the constituency in Clacton that elected him into office, as opposed to spending his time in the United States of America.”

I notice they're doing that Trumpian "just saying what other people are saying" thing. Johnson's been doing it a lot recently as well. Having a read-up on Nick Fuentes (American lump of Nazi trash) I noticed that this is a common tactic on the right - claim you're just quoting others, that you're just joking or using hyperbole, accuse your opponents of having no sense of humour etc.

Geoffrey said it first...

But first I pray yow, of youre curteisye,
That ye n’arette it nat my vileinye,
Thogh that I pleinly speke in this matere,
To telle yow hir wordes and hir cheere,
Ne thogh I speke hir wordes proprely
For this ye knowen also wel as I,
Whoso shal telle a tale after a man,
He moot reherce as neigh as evere he kan
Everich a word, if it be in his charge,
Al speke he nevere so rudeliche and large,
Or ellis he moot telle his tale untrewe
Or feine thing or finde wordes newe.
He may nat spare, althogh he were his brother;
He moot as wel seye o word as another.
