For Line of Duty fans, thought it was very apt:
Westminster Politics

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Good thing there's no other pressing business in the country going on right now.
Ridiculous country.
I wonder if this were the US whether Cameron would be in actual trouble by now. I kind of think they're better at investigating this sort of thing, but I'm only remembering headlines, I might be wrong.
We're paying for every minute of it, while they eulogise a guy who's lifestyle was paid for by us too
Until this country wakes up, these bastards will continue laughing all the way to the bank.
Must be nice living in a privileged bubble where you can waste an entire day repeating the same thing the person before you did about how inspirational a person was and how they personified everything great about Britain.
Every Tory MP on repeat: “I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation”
3 months later...
’The investigation found that while conduct was questionable the ministerial code was not broken and we now consider the case to be closed”
Pretty much!
Yep. Standard practice from this corrupt government.
They'll drape a Union Jack though and wax lyrical about British values while defrauding the UK population so it is fine.
'lessons will be learned'
So the independent inquiry is being lead by a government advisor?
Why is Cameron getting all the flak? People in government should be facing charges.
I think you've answered your own question there.
I like the word "Chumocracy" to describe our current government!

Cameron should be getting a lot of flak. The PM who promised to clamp down on lobbyists cosying up to government and then became the slimiest one of the lot. The government is getting less grief on Greensill cos they rejected his overtures.
I don't have a Times subscription to read the new allegation in there.
No one cares is the truth of it, stories like this just become a "they're all as bad as each other narrative". It's priced in with the Tories, the public only care when people who act superior do something wrong.
Of course he welcomes it.
Why? Because he already knows the outcome.
They all stick together. Mark my words.
If only somebody had warned us beforehand that this would happen.
And they even have people clapping it. Now that's bold. But this as been going on long before Boris. Slowly but surely privatising parts of the NHS, while pretending to love it.
I read the last page or two and feel nothing but apathy at this stage. You just know the polls are still going to show the Tories sitting comfortably at 40+ percent
Our government is one big racket.
Doesn't matter. The Labour motion was defeated and so all the stinking sleeze will again be swept under the carpet.
And that is before a trade deal with the USA in which they want access to the NHS....
At least it's the Beebs main headline. Although it has one of those boring headlines that will make Joe Public not know it's anything to do with the blatant corruption going on right now, and they'll just scroll down to the articles about Why Your Choice In Candle Holders Is Important or whatever.
Frustratingly true.
I detest politics. Does it ever get any fecking better?
Alot of this current government should be locked up for corruption.
I remember ages ago, and probably still happens now, whenever a company had a promotion or competition going on the first item of the T&Cs was something along the lines of, “Employees of Company X and their relatives are excluded from participation.”
It was always to remove the potential claims of nepotism, cronyism or a corrupt contest, and that was for a TV, fridge or fecking holiday!
