Another day, another Tory scandal....

Yesterday (30p) Lee Anderson decided to present a member of his staff as evidence anyone on low pay should not need foodbanks

She wasn't exactly on low pay, either. IIRC he said she was earning £34.000 pa. Tis is, I believe, somewhere in the region of median pay (i.e in the middle of the pay range) but it isn't 'low pay'.

Much as I’m up for a tory bash 😄these are not scandals.
More like lack of judgements.

This continuous drip of low level incompetence, nastiness, lack of judgement, seeps into the publics consciousness, leaving a cumulative impression that they really are a Party of mediocre scoundrels.

I’m assuming that quote applies across the political spectrum! There’s no one obviously good person amongst them in my book!

I find the continuous apparent lack of self-awareness amazing in these so-called educated people . No common sense at all. Not really aware of the state of this country and the poverty so many people are suffering.

I don't think Lee Anderson is "educated". That's part of the appeal to his followers.

Lack of judgement😄😄😄😄 in Zahawi’s case £3million worth with a 30% penalty.

That was a MASSIVE lack of judgement.

Another scandal

The Russia Report is about to explode on Rishi Sunak’s Government

Probably the most shocking report you will watch this week

If this is the referral to the ECHR about Russian interference in UK politics I think it deserves a thread all of its own

he's based the whole of foodbank use on his one member of staff who earns a median wage? is it one of his relatives? what an shallow individual

Yes, it is about the refusal of the British government to investigate the interference.

Speaks volumes

Just read that people have been questioning the Zahawi scandal for 9 years.

It would seem that what has come out to date is only tip of the iceberg.

Sunak received a fixed penalty.

No, she's the daughter of a brigadier and went to a private school (presumably funded by the army). In his Tweet, Anderson implied that she was on low pay, could afford to live in Central London and had enough money for a good lifestyle. He was comparing her with nurses who claim to use foodbanks.

She didn't do anything wrong, but Anderson gave personal details about her and a photo, which enabled her to be identified and loads of details about her private life are all over social media. She's had to delete her Twitter account. Her background means that it's unlikely that her life can be compared with most people on low pay (and it appears she's not low paid anyway).

It's Anderson's integrity and honesty which are in question, quite apart from the dubious legality of publishing her personal details online. It's not clear if she gave permission.

Can't he just do the seatbelt awareness course (or whatever it's called) and avoid the penalty and points?

Well he’s got form. Subject of police investigation last year I think.

I'm just amazed the silly fool didn't think having a seat belt on might have been a good idea .

That may have been the case WW2 but it is absolutely undeniable that Johnson's government refused to look for evidence that Russia had interfered in our so-called democracy, particularly in the fraudulent referendum of 2016.

For instance did they ever enquire about the targeted facebook messages, the incessant pro-leave propaganda originating in Russia or the thousands of posts online on the day before the vote?

NO. If you do not ask the question you are not deemed to be lying when you claim not to know the answer.

Which bit of my post are you answering? Only I absolutely agree with you?

It doesn't say much about his judgment, does it?

This is the bit of your post I referred to WW2
