Another spectacular week in Toryland!

Apparently it is the interviewers fault that Keegan swore😄😄😄.

So she said sorry on his behalf

Www2 Braverman allegedly said the police should stop taking the knee …

Not clear why they aren’t doing their job though. Presumably if they are taking the knee (?) they are doing so at football matches? Which of course is outside of their normal duties.

Www2 Braverman allegedly said the police should stop taking the knee …

Keegan has announced (I paraphrase) that no one ever tells her what a f….g good job she is doing, and the others aren’t getting off their arses to help.

Apparently No 10 has “full confidence”

Bra erman is not saying the police have ro take on more work, she is saying they have to start doing their job for a change

As opposed to what?

55% of people think that the government is sleaze ridden and corrupt.

As few as that?!

Roll on the Revolution! Surely it must be round the corner. Everything's broken. This must be the crumbling of the old order, to make way for a new, better, more collaborative system...

This is from 2022 but shows how chaotic this government has been. Even if you only allow a few weeks for a minister to get up to speed on how a department works, they can't possibly be doing a good job before they are moved on

Talking with a friend who thought we are the most corrupt country in the world? we are far from it,imagine what life is like for those who are in the most corrupt countries, at least we can eventually boot them out, if enough people put their brains in gear!

Thank you MaizieD (sorry if misspelt) that is a very interesting post

Next the surveyors looking at the bloody concrete will struggle with the mould and asbestos in the older buildings and removal and repair will be to risky around small children's lungs. Then, it's well known that many hospitals are also built of the same materials and so is much social housing. Hopefully the school problems will trigger further safety measures before there's a catastrophic collapse and people are hurt or worse. Small state really does equal shit state IMHO.

Chris Pincher has lost his appeal against suspension for groping other men.

Possible by-election?

Never fails to amaze me and this is yet another set of “cock ups”

^Gove has admitted and apologised that he made a massive boo boo which apparently was realised not long after -^

What, cancelling the Building schools for the Future' plans?

Apparently, though, his academisation programme has caused some problems because a lot of school buildings were handed over to Academy trusts without any accompanying documentation connected with their building and maintenance history.

(I have to confess that I was, selfishly, pleased when he cancelled the BSF programme because the school I worked at was in the process of being forced to amalgamate with its local rival in a new building on a most unsatisfactory site)

Yes cancelling the Building for the Future programme. Apparently on R4 this morning.

Sunak is getting his pants in a twist over taking some of the blame😄😄.

Casdon - just following example of there’s loads if you look. Well I have looked and there isn’t any evidence of backbenchers writing to the 1922 Committee .
David Blunkett writing in Telegraph - surprisingly!

Not sure why you say surprisingly. Tories sometimes write an opinion piece in the Guardian and Labour supporters in the Times or Telegraph. It's been happening for as long as I've read broadsheets - 57 years to be exact.

The trouble is my iPad doesn’t do links. So I can either ignore what I read or tell people where to find it if they ask - I prefer the latter.

Anyway enough of small matters.

Gove has admitted and apologised that he made a massive boo boo which apparently was realised not long after - but hey Ho it made no difference to his career.

Williamson is to go on behavioural lessons😄😄😄 and Sunak must be wishing it would all go away.

Honestly! The least we have to worry about are links which anyone if us can find if we wish or if not simply ask!

Worry about the way this country is crumbling before our eyes

I spend so much time worrying that I really appreciate it when people at least tell us a little bit about what they have read.Not having to scrabble around with google gives me more worry time

But here's a twitter thread link. Retired lawyer, Fiona O'Leary, details what has been happening on the RAAC front since 2010. Ignored warnings, budget cuts etc.

Sorry, I think I’ve got a warped sense of humour this morning, it just struck me as funny because it was within three posts. I do prefer it when people put links in personally, because if something is portrayed as News but isn’t on the mainstream channels or reliable news sources the veracity is obviously questionable.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t take what’s going on at the moment very seriously - and yes, I would like to know what David Blunkett had to say.

It’s safe to conclude that the 1922 Committee is not receiving anywhere near sufficient letters to remove the current PM.
I don’t subscribe to the Daily Telegraph but the headline that David Blunkett thinks it will take a miracle for Labour to win a majority at the next election doesn’t leave much to my imagination.

It was just the fact that your own post was immediately after hers that made me smile, I thought you were being ironic. The Telegraph is behind a paywall unfortunately, so you’ll have to tell us what David Blunkett said.

Oh well it’s good to see David Blunkett writing about the next election results - telling it as it is.

You are funny ronib, asking Whitewavemark2 to post her sources, then not posting your own!

Oh, come on, Casdon. By 9 o'clock in the morning we've surely all had time to read all the daily media resources and be completely familiar with them....

Posting links is so boring and what is wrong with google... [heavy sarcasm emoji]

Yup, it annoyed me. too...
