Westminster Politics

We’re currently mid-purchase and have been for nearly months now. Our vendors wanted to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday, found a house and their vendors have not even found a house in that time so while they are still in the chain, our vendors are looking for another property but there’s no way in hell it’s going to happen before the holiday ends.

I’m fully expecting it all to fall through once the holiday ends and our vendors realise they have to pay however many grand extra. Stressful to say the least.

My only hope is that there is a glut of properties coming on the market when numerous chains collapse but that’s not exactly a good scenario for the rest of the country! Apparently there is 100k houses currently being purchased and as many as half of them will not complete if the holiday is not extended.
 


Government’s behaviour came under criticism in the judgment. If it had admitted to being in breach of the law when we first raised our concerns, it would have never been necessary to take this judicial review to its conclusion. Instead, they chose a path of obfuscation, racking up over £200,000 of legal costs as a result.

Reprehensible scum.

Wonder if the BBC will pick this up?
 
The Beeb are reporting it as their second story. The main one is about Harry and Meghan not coming back to perform Royal duties. For fecking fecks sake.

"They were under enormous pressure to sort out PPE contracts."

Yeah, and remind me how those PPE deliverables turned out? Let me go out to the wastebins and double check.

Nothing to see in the bins mate. A totally unrelated private company have disposed of the unusable PPE now.

Joris Bohnson & Hatt Mancock Ltd.
 
Marr giving Hancock a soft ride as expected. Letting him waffle to his hearts content and even conceding “yes I appreciate it was a stressful time” and “yes, it’s clear government was under a lot of pressure at the time”.
 
All of these guys are mates, went to the same schools, attend the same parties etc
All this shit is a show and we are the mugs.

He's a fascist idiot.

In the pamphlet, titled No Man's Land, Mr Bailey wrote: "You bring your children to school and they learn far more about Diwali than Christmas. I speak to the people who are from Brent and they’ve been having Muslim and Hindi days off. What it does is rob Britain of its community. Without our community we slip into a crime-riddled cesspool."

That years back too. He's come out with plenty more intolerant bollocks since.

Wow just wow. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Boris fecks off this year and they appoint Sunak with a 2022 election.

They'll pump some more money in and the economy will naturally bounce back for a while. With economic growth delivered the next focus will be on paying the debt. Who really thinks the electorate will choose Starmer over Sunak for that?
 
Sunak is 100% the next Prime Minister.

Ironically that might be Starmer's one and only chance to overturn the traditional scepticism, faced by Labour, on economic issues.
In his previous role of 'Good guy'/ 'Chancellor bountiful' during the pandemic, Sunak will be expected as the new PM to use his experiences to set out in advance what will be necessary to pay down the debt, thereby (probably) giving the 'even up' agenda a swift kick up the pants.

Starmer on the other hand can say " we will have to wait to see the books, before we decide what actions are necessary".
 
Also, they're not even trying to hide that the BBC is the propaganda arm of the government any more. All the planted stories about Sturgeon having to resign because she lied, funny that every politician in Westminster doesn't have to resign when they repeatedly and egregiously lie isn't it? I mean we've literally passed the 3 year mark of Boris pretending there isn't a border in the Irish Sea for example.

Not that I like the Scottish Nationalist line being pushed, it's clearly being crowbarred in and pushed by extremists to some degree, but when their democracy is treated with such disdain by the autocracy in Westminster it's very hard to make a serious case against independence.

Them declaring independence will be the next big failing of the Conservatives since 2010 to add to the litany and it will be spun as just a nasty wee malicious Jimmy Kranky-alike plotting against benevolent Boris / Rishi / some other nonce.
