@CharlesTannock Grifters. Any think to keep their jobs. But then Brexit was devised by individuals to make money or progress their careers. Johnson backed it just to be come PM. Some seriously disgusting MPs
This level of inconsistency over Brexit by perceived sensible Tories to advance their political careers is one of the reasons why I quit the party in 2020.
Israeli drones are dropping incendiary materials on makeshift tents near Shujaiya in eastern Gaza City in an attempt to force displaced Palestinians to flee the area
Displaced people report that at least 350 tents have been burned
@moneyandmore72@albertedwards99 Worse we let them get away with murder, in some case literally. But we haven't had a revolution so really we (the UK) are just peasants / plebs serving the gentry. We used up all our inhibitions banging posts on Thursdays during COVID, need to revert to type.
@albertedwards99 Politics only makes sense if you think of it as a sales job. Do a good enough sale to get elected/selected, and then pursue the agenda you want. In some countries, they keep politicians to their promises (e.g. Switzerland), but the UK political system doesn't.
This is pretty scathing towards Prince William..
‘Charles was fantastic. William can go to hell’: Duchy tenants face eviction as prince sells historic land and accuse him of mental stress.
The Covid Inquiry Report, the ITV documentary on Reform, completely ignored by #bbclaurak All the focus today was on freedom of movement and how it’s a bad thing. I don’t think there’s ever been more compromised journalists at the BBC than Kuenssberg and Mason.
🚨🇬🇧 Turning Point UK's CEO was filmed offering an undercover reporter a menu of beatings, stabbings and killings through a Glasgow contact who says he arms the UVF
Al Jazeera’s undercover operation started in 2021 when a reporter joined the British offshoot of the American student group.
Its CEO Jack Ross, a Conservative candidate in 2023, introduced the reporter to Allan Nesbitt, a convicted criminal and self-described UVF member, agreed on camera to pay him to stage a fake pro-Zimbabwe rally, and priced out what Nesbitt’s friends could do to a person, from cutting faces to MURDER.
The UVF is the Ulster Volunteer Force, a Protestant loyalist paramilitary from Northern Ireland’s Troubles that killed over 500 people between 1966 and 1999, including 33 in one day in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, and is still banned as a terror group.
Since the peace deal it has run mostly as a drug gang that kept the name and the guns.
Nesbitt reportedly met the reporter in a London hotel, offered to have a fictional business rival “finished,” claimed he’d personally stabbed a man to death, showed a shotgun and pistol on a video call and said the fee would buy weapons smuggled from Scotland into Northern Ireland.
Ross says it was a joke. The joke came with a price list, a weapons demo and a smuggling route, and the police now have a name and a video... and wasn't particularly funny.
Somebody in Turning Point UK’s donor base should be asking when the fundraising dinners turned into this.
