It's a dream team of incompetence. Just need David Moyes in some role.

It doesn't dismiss the claims at all. Also





Genuine question if thats ok - what is your line for work(You don't have to be too specific) ?
Interesting that the full fact was founded in that way. Difficult to know whether that in some way changes things...I mean facts are facts. They do appear to do a good job on the whole and it’s a site I always read.

I work in science. So in terms of my personal interests funding is flat (real terms cut) at the moment I think for science. With Brexit the government so far have been fairly good with the noises made about protecting funding, it doesn’t seem to be a contentious point at the moment!

Someone having secret meetings with the Russian or Chinese government would be relentlessly attacked by the media and voters; not sure why Patel gets away (and rewarded) with it.

I know it should have sunk in by now, but I still feel absolutely sick about this.

Something that is so clearly corrupt being rewarded. How many times do I have to sit and watch blatant cheaters be rewarded? Absolute scum of society be lifted up to the very pinnacle.

It just doesn’t make sense to me. Why even bother? Links with racism? Doesn’t matter. Leader who is a massive prick but the press love because he is a “lovable fool?”.

It makes me physically sick.

EDIT: FFS meant to post this in the Liverpool Champions league winning thread.
When Labour are weak and unelectable this is what Tories get to do. I wish labour would hurry and wake the feck up.

No. Now go away.

If you want to complain about Full Fact being founded by a Conservatibve Party donor, then we should also make it clear that IPPR was founded is still ' run ' by Clive Hollick and his wife - a Labour Supporter and Donor who was appointed to The Lords by Bliar.
I simply pointing out that FullFact.org isn't some non political body(I never claimed IPPR was)


Commercial pilot - now retired ( age barred from commercial flying ) and now I part own an Airline / Logistics Company with a T/O of €67 million in 2018, most of that generated from West and Central Africa.
Literally explains most of your political views that you've shared.

They can't be interrupted in various ways. The website doesn't dismissed the claim about deaths under austerity, just that it should be treated with a ''little caution'' whatever that means.

I only asked because it seems just going by what you've said in the last post(You've benefit from tory tax cuts) and now your job description that you've not all been effected by the last decade of tory government.

For you a record numbers of people employed is a plus, for me it means zero hours contracts. For you aspiration, hard work(Just a slogan at this point as UK productivity grew at less 1% last year) means making something of yourself, for me it means watching people in tears having panic attacks at the DWP.


Your basically in a different class to well me and quite a lot of other people on here. Which is fine(It's really not)but makes
any sort of relatable conversation impossible.

I'm nervous about health and the fact I haven't seen Leadsom confirmed for anything yet is alarming me.

Should any of them though? This is a proper house of horrors cabinet
True, but she had to resign from an important post for inappropriate behaviour, not sure the others have.

Hate to see the damage they will all do.
