Tory backlash at Rishi Sunak 'wasting Brexit freedoms' after 'quietly putting sweeping EU equality rules into British law'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ality-law.html

The UK will never see any of the benefits from Brexit, (that's if there was any in the first place), you definitely won't get any from the MPs in the House of Parliament and that's a fact.
These currants have betrayed millions of people and yet, they'll come crawling to your front door begging you for your vote, the only thing these shameless bastards deserve is a one way trip to the Gallows and the Hangman's Noose.
But fear not those MPs will say, you'll all be learning at least one Middle Eastern language and possibly two or three before we're done, all thanks to the last 50 years of incompetent government from both sides of the house.
Take a bow you Morons and take the easy way out, put a loaded gun in your traitorous mouth and pull the trigger, you deserve such an ending.

Sir Keir Starmer faces fresh Labour row after senior member accuses 'murdered' Alexei Navalny of being a 'far-Right Nazi sympathiser' in wake of Kremlin critic's death

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ics-death.html

Starmer has us believing that he's changed the Labour Party for the better, if this article is a sample of that he's more deluded than Sunak is. I wouldn't vote for any of these candidates but, I would vote for them to be strung up by the neck until they're dead.
I wonder what Starmer will do?, will he get rid of it or will he not?.

The post office scandal is a national disgrace but now the rats responsible for it have realised there are no more life rafts available on the sinking ship and are resorting to individual damage limitation.

Kemi Badenoch says ex-Post Office chair claims 'made up'


The Business Secretary, Kemi Badenoch, has said claims by the former Post Office chair that he was told to delay compensation payments for sub-postmasters are "completely false".

Henry Staunton said he was told to stall payouts to allow the government to "limp into the election", apparently to help state finances.

But Ms Badenoch accused him of spreading "a series of falsehoods" and providing "made up anecdotes".

Mr Staunton has stood by his comments.

On Monday, Ms Badenoch made a statement to the House of Commons in which she said Mr Staunton's claims were "a blatant attempt to seek revenge following dismissal".

"There would be no benefit to us whatsoever of us delaying compensation," she added. "This does not have any significant impact on revenues whatsoever - it would be a mad thing to even suggest."

She said there was "no evidence whatsoever" that Mr Staunton was told by an official to stall payouts, later adding: "Actually if such a thing was said, it is for Mr Staunton himself to bring the evidence."

Between 1999 and 2015, hundreds of sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly prosecuted after a faulty computer system called Horizon made it look like money was missing from their branches.

Some sub-postmasters wrongfully went to prison, many were financially ruined. Some have since died.

The government has promised to quash convictions and pay compensation, but concerns have been raised over the speed and complexity in victims securing financial redress, with just 33 claims fully settled.

One sub-postmaster said the process of claiming compensation has been "like being treated like a criminal all over again".

GAMBLE SCANDAL MP Scott Benton faces suspension from Commons after being caught in gambling lobbying scandal

Another By-Election for Rishi?, the Tories need to call a GE as soon as possible and get this nightmare over with, you never know do you, putting Starmer and the Labour Party under pressure might just be their undoing.

I wonder where that Raynor woman is a lately, has Starmer filled her orifices with some dildoes to stop her dropping him in it, its not like her to stay this quiet for so long, a GE would bring her out to play me thinks.

Trident has grown a lil' bit old, hasn't it?

What never ceases to amaze me is the outrageous matter-of-factness with which politicians, faced with the proven failure of something, claim in a tone of conviction that what has failed - now repeatedly - is working absolutely perfectly.

The UGM-133 Trident II (Trident D5) has 190 successful test flights of the D5 missile since design completion in 1989 there have been fewer than 11 test flights that were failures. The D5 is the sixth in a series of missile generations deployed since the sea-based deterrent program began 60 years ago. The Trident D5LE (life-extension) version will remain in service until 2042.

Agreed

[Skybird]

Fact remains the past two tests both failed and the missiles have not grown any younger.


Reassuring this is not really. It can feed the maniacs' perception of that the UK's detzrrence would fial anyway and thus oen cna ignore it. And if you listen to the monstrous drivel some of the Russian facvists vent on media... Well - is it really all drivel?!


Hitler preferred to kill Germany instead of accepting that Germany did not give him what he expected from it: victory. And he was and is not the only whacko in history's collection. The Kremlin is filled to the rooftop with such whackos now.

See what I mean one post above?

I very much doubt the media outlets of Russia and China have much if any credibility at all in the eyes of the majority of the world.

[Dargo]

Media outlets of Russia have destroyed all leopards, F- 16's, HIMARS, patriot systems and Ukraine navy zillion times on top they already won the nuclear war with NATO even Russian people do not believe that any more what the propaganda is telling them.

Rishi Sunak calls Sir Lindsay Hoyle's decision to break with convention on a Gaza ceasefire vote "very concerning"

The PM says "we should never let extremists intimidate us" into changing how Parliament works, after Hoyle allowed a vote on a Labour amendment to a SNP proposal.

It comes after the SNP's Westminster leader tells Hoyle his party has no confidence in him as Commons Speaker after yesterday's debate chaos.

More than 60 MPs now say they have no confidence in Hoyle, who has apologised twice for making the "wrong decision"

Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has denied threatening Hoyle, saying he “simply urged” the Speaker to ensure there was the “broadest possible debate”

On Wednesday, MPs approved a Labour motion calling for an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire" following hours of debate which saw SNP and Conservative MPs walk out of the Commons.
