The embarrassment of the Tories

So this the third disgraced Defence minister

Liam Fox - sacked for taking his friend (?) Werrity into meetings and trips abroad.

Michael Fallon- problem with his trousers

Gavin Williamson - utter incompetence and criminal leaks.

Not very good are they?

He’s busy denying it on Sky - wow this really is a row. He’s blaming the top civil servant MS. Oh dear this is not going to end well - it’s a fool who takes on a top civil servant.

I believe Williamson was know as Private Pike because of his utter incompetence. His ego got the better of him.

Well - she appointed BJ as FS

May hasn’t aimed much higher though. We now have Mordant “Turkey is joining the EU” . Mordant was rebuked by hew own party, but days later showed her repeating the lie.

What does it say about Theresa May's judgement that she appointed Gavin Williamson to such an important and sensitive position?

And what about his severance pay? I think it’s normally about £17 k. Don’t know if it’s taxable though

This is a criminal offence. This must be followed through.

What else has been leaked?

Williamson was the little s..t who tried to blame the civil servants.

I think GW’s behaviour is a bit more than incompetent

If ST and CP were prosecuted, then so should GW be.

Oh! How many more millions is Grayling going to waste?

It is breathtaking - the incompetence.

He should be. If he doesn’t what does that tell you about this rotten government?

He was never suitable for the job. But then who of any of the ministers are suitable. Difficult to point to a single one of them.

I see that Mogg has written a book about his upbringing. “The Victorians”

And that man of honour, JRM, said a couple of days ago that the leak was ‘trivial’. Bless.

So why is he not to be prosecuted? Can his constituents hold a recall petition? Will he be allowed to carry on as a member of the Tory Party? So many questions

Williamson gone. As we predicted last week.

How many ministers is that now?

Day 6 - the funds are there - at least according to the govt since they have announced that austerity is over. So after 10 years of impoverishment for several members of our society, suddenly everything that's wrong will be sorted. How this has suddenly happened I am at a loss to understand, given the amount of money wasted on Brexit. Today's news - Chris Grayling has cancelled another ferry contract at a cost of £50 million bringing the total to £83 million.

He held the wreath but wasn’t present!

He forwarded the book and praised it and it’s written by a well known anti Semite and full of vile racism but he’s not antisemetic.

trisher - just to say that I identify with your last few posts 100%. I grew up in a Northumberland mining town, and that's what has led to my support of socialism. In its many forms.
You express your opinions better than I can .

One of the major policy differences between Labour and the Tory party is that Labour fully supports bringing an end to Gig Economy terms of employment. Gig Economy employment is not the same as Zero hours contracts, it is in fact far worse than zero hours.

The above has the entire support of the whole Labour movement in the country and also many employers who see such terms of employment as a detriment to the competitiveness of their own companies.

That is where Labour will support working people should a Labour government come about in the near future, as against this Tory government wishing to see Gig terms of working continue as a form of "cheap labour" in today's Britain.

The foregoing was a system of employment that never existed in the 60s, 70s, 80s and early 90s to which many on this forum refer back to as their experiences of employment.

Employment conditions have become far more difficult for many since the millennium.

Why anyone would imagine that the split in the Labour movement wouldn't be found in the Jewish ranks as well as anywhere else I don't know. Is there anti-semitism amongst some members? well yes there almost certainly is, linked of course to anti-zionism and often the two are confused. And often the accusations are made because of the support for Palestine. Anyone who doesn't realise that the support that has been shown for Palestine by some Labour people isn't seen as a threat by some Jewish people is simply ignoring reality.
And the big joke that has been sold to the public so effectively by the Tories that we can't afford proper services is just that, a joke. There is money. There could be proper services and introducing them would pay dividends at every level of society.

A right wing plot ?

7th April The Jewish Lsbour Movement passed a motion ofno confidence in Corbyn and described him as unfit to run the country ,they also voted for - the party is
Institutionally anti semetic , passed unanimously

Before their meeting Shami Chakrabarti made an appeal,

‘ stay in the labour movement to tackle racism together ,
don’t make it sbout Jeremy Corbyn because he is only one person and he won’t be leader forever

Hells teeth, somebody with several properties in a former communist state and purporting to travel about in a camper van and hates the EU.!!

Oh take a recommend .

When have I ever been nasty maryeliza?

He was found not guilty although he was as guilty as sin. Yes leaking is only a criminal offence under the OSA. But again not the issue
