Westminster Politics

Suella Braverman, let it be known that she believes it is time to “move on”, the Guardian has learned.

That should be etched on the forehead of everyone member of the conservative party that comes from an ethnic minority. uncle toms every single one of them.

There was a local news article about a family of asylum seekers that were placed in this exact hotel. The hotel is an absolute dump but in a very upmarket area.

The family were from South America and had to move and leave everything behind as organised crime in their country were targeting them for extortion. They and their family were at risk of kidnap and worse. The father was a doctor and the mother was a veterinary surgeon. Both wanted to work but couldn't given that their asylum claims had not been processed. The whole thing just summed up what a useless system it is. This poor family should have been welcomed with open arms but were stuck in this shitty hotel, unable to contribute to our society even though they desperately wanted to.

Not to worry, they've commissioned a commemorative coin for Windrush: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65932266, so all's well that ends well.

Great, let's waste more tax payers money. At least with the man city investigation facade (which we all know how it's going to end) isn't costing me financially.

It's a piss-take. They already investigated and concluded there wasn't enough evidence, despite having more evidence than most fixed penalty COVID convictions that have gone through the courts.

It could just be a way for the police to fund their own departments seeing as the government are giving feck all to anyone except their rich mates.
 
Our parliament is in worse shape than I imagined. These feckers are useless.

354 vote for and 7 vote against. Appears Sunak did not vote. Can anyone confirm?

Interesting how much his remaining acolytes barked and barked, only to show that his actual remaining support even in this extreme parliamentary party is crap.
 
Confirmed, Sunak was not there. Even I am surprised with how angry and disgusted I am at this PM. He’s the weakest PM I’ve ever seen.

Not being there won't be forgotten, he's made a rod for his own back in interviews and PMQs. Would have been better fighting it out and taking control of his party, would have lost some MPs but at least have gained some respect at the end of it.

He's visibly wilted in the last few weeks, I can sense he doesn't feel he's up to it any more.

Yes he has.
All you are going to get from Sunak is to say exactly as he has been told to. Blah blah blah.
He is not even entertaining. And people say that Starmer is boring, which he is by the way.

This is the real, scariest consequence of Brexit. People who know and care devised this type of "red tape" to protect us and now it's in the hands of thick, ideological vandals. "We can do better than that" was always going to give way to "well does it matter anyway?" by people proffering the Pareto principle without understanding its meaning while taking large consulting fees so they can buy their goods from Paris.

Yeah I agree. People will die from this and nobody will trace the dots. A gigantic backward step with very serious consequences.

Longest serving MP. It’s usually a male so it’s usually Father of the House.

Slightly incorrect, the current longest serving MP Is Peter Bottomley who is Father of the House, ******* Harman is the longest serving female MP and as such is Mother of the House

Bit late for that, UK has been the dustbin for a long time and has nothing to do with Brexit, anyone who's been down the Strangeways area of Manchester could have told you this any time in the last 20 years

You're never going to stop all counterfeiting, illegal business practices, fraud, etc, but it isn't an excuse to stop trying altogether which is effectively what you're doing if you trash the already underfunded Trading Standards and waive border checks.

Of course not, and stopping trying doesn't help at all, but blaming it as a consequence of Brexit is nonsense because it isn't

It is though. Because it's now entirely down to our vandals rather than the EU. And the regulations are harder to keep track of because we're on our own, and the border agents can't check things like they would have done before because otherwise the goods will never get through. We've swapped the previous good red tape for worthless red tape essentially. And then left a bunch of dim witted foxes in charge of the enforcement chicken coop.

She's the one who tries to keep a straight face when you walk back into the house after smoking, thinking that a long spray of Lynx Africa and two mint imperials have covered up the smell.

So every decision made by the powers that be is due to Brexit? They could have chosen to keep the same regulations, this is more to do with the current Government than anything else, and before you ask or suggest it, I was not in favor of it, I think it's one of the worst decisions the country has ever made, but it shouldn't be blamed for everything that happens going forward

My biggest issue with Brexit was that taking back our "sovereignty" was actually "putting power in the hands of people who both despise the majority of the populus and couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery".

So yes, the government are responsible for Brexit, they're responsible for fecking up the Brexit deal, they're responsible for fecking up what they're fecking up now. But if they hadn't have done Brexit it would have been much harder or in some cases even impossible to feck everything up in such a colossal way. You might be bored of hearing about but it doesn't mean it's not true.
