Members contributions and it was distributed based on requirements in particular areas not on the political allegiances in areas, unlike the Town Fund.

The incredibly thick Priti Patel, former Home Secretary, was all for capital punishment, because she believed that the accused had gone through the 'Due process of the Law', subsequently their convictions being overturned.

I remember a photograph in either the Sunday Times or Observer of a youth who had voted Brexit and saying 'What has the EU ever done for me' - he was surrounded by an infrastructure (sport centre, college etc) that had been financed by EU funding. Look at Cornwall to see the slashing of funding.

Is that the Civil Service, led by Simon Case, that engaged in or turned a blind eye to Partygate.

Is this a 'how high can you pee competition', far more important to all, except the Murdoch, Rothermere and Telegraph presses is the distribution of wealth, the quality and extent of its public services including medical care and education and training of its people.

I fail to understand how anyone could vote for one of these parties at the election and moved to the other at the next. There is no similarity between the two. How can someone be drawn to an anti Zero Emmissions mandate then afterward move to the Greens?

Did he write it from Spain?

Is he worse than J Edgar Hoover?

Let's be honest and consider if there is something fishy about someone who has had to resign from every job they have had ... Starmer sacked him. But in the case of Johnson they made him party leader and PM.

I question the media that has broadly supported Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak, and would like to see Badenoch. A right-wing press, with business interests in the USA, which would have us joining its illegal war, but wants to keep us away from the financial regulations of the EU.

Surely not sacking, or probably not being able to sack, Dominic Cummins over his Barnard Castle testing his vision during Lock Down must rank as the greatest political harm, it signalled the beginning of the end for Johnson.

Indeed and we also need to exploit the reliable tides that are around are vast shorelines and be less reliant on costly nuclear energy, that is always late in coming on stream, cost to run and has many years of decommissioning.

I don't remember the press curfuffle from the right-wing press about a then Foreign Secretary, later Prime Minister going, after a meeting of NATO, to a private party in a castle in Umbria where a retired KGB official was present. Then photoed at the airport looking worse for wear.

Nigel (the cheque's in the post) Farage

Sorry but it was an episode of all the cliches.

Pedro Sánchez was the leader of the pack.

and we were stuck with Johnson with a big majority.

Indeed. I think Nick Clegg has been airbrushed out of the LibDem history, putting his lust for power before country and his principles. There was also Jo Swinson, who thought she would do well, and leaned on Corbyn to agree to putting the Fixed Term Parliaments on one side - she lost her seat/

It's always interesting seeing Ed Davey taking the high ground - I wonder if he ever says to himself 'What if I had done something about the Horizon Scandal'. The Coalition junior partners were so bolstered by being in power.

What shocks me is that some are turning from Reform to the Green Party, how on earth can they do such a U turn.

Rather surprising from Simon Case given his stewardship of the chief Civil Servant during the Johnson years.

Why is Alexander Boris Johnson sporting an orange nose?

What a lovely picture of Richard Tice was it taken from the Revenue and Customs profile sheet?

I read an unrelated post which started with the premise that Trump, as President of the United States was the most powerful man in the world. Given Iran, Spain and the rest of the EU not doing what he has demanded I wonder how true that is today.

Didn't May ignore vetting advice when she appointed Alexander Boris Johnson to be her Foreign Secretary? She thought she would contain him by sending him off around the world, that worked well. He did, of course, have a lost weekend with Alex Lebedev, but I am sure it was only boys being boys

During her 49 days of being in charge, she had two Chancellor, 38 of which were with Kwarteng. Given the death of the late Queen gave a hiatus of around 14 days, what wonders they performed in removing bureaucratic restraint in those 24 days when the markets didn't believe her or him.

Boris Johnson praises Peppa Pig in bizarre CBI speech YouTube video by Guardian News

We knew where we were in the days of Alexander Boris he could unite his audience. I remember his 2021 speech to business leaders, when you could see rippling through the audience the appreciative term "What a berk"

Keir Starmer

Isn't the real reason that the British right-wing press (News International, Mail and Telegraph) is that they are afraid that he is too much like a moderate and they cannot label him as an extreme 'leftie'. They really want a Conservative puppet that they can manipulate.

Indeed and after the weekend at Palazzo Terranova perhaps they had reason to worry.
