    "The government is always saying it wants to talk about things that matter to people, yet it simply will not talk, in public and apologetically, about the grotesque profiteering that happened during Covid." Marina Hyde

  2. "What they did yesterday is unforgivable. Very few people will care about it. Hardly any news sites will cover it. There won't be interviews with the couples it separates or the children it leaves without a parent. No-one will give a damn."

    "Kyriakos the Greek deserved to be deported to Rwanda. He had tried to talk about the Parthenon marbles, which were 100% British because we had stolen them. What a total shit! Beware Greeks bearing gifts … Scrub that. Beware Greeks. They were all as bad as each other." John Crace

    "Debt is coming down. No it isn’t. That’s just a lie. We’ve beaten inflation. No we haven’t. It’s two-and-a-half times higher than the target rate. He was bringing down the tax burden by a record amount. No he wasn’t. The tax take was on course to reach a record high." John Crace

    "Thanks to his brilliance, he had managed to create extra fiscal headroom. Largely thanks to inflation and capped departmental budgets – hooray for inflation! – he had extra money to spend. So he was going to squander almost all of it on tax cuts and let public services die. Austerity 2.0." John Crace

    “Vandalism. It’s not chaos. Chaos would imply it was all somehow random. It isn’t. It’s entirely deliberate. We’re actively trying to wreck the country so that we can blame Labour for not fixing it when they win the next election. Gosh, is that the time? I must go. I hope I haven’t said anything that will get me the sack.” John Crace

    "Don’t bother to insulate your homes. And, yes, he was so, so on the side of working people who couldn’t afford green policies. That’s why he was happy for them to remain in fuel poverty. That would teach renters to learn to afford their own properties." John Crace

    "Who is Ben Caldecott? Among other roles, he is a senior fellow at Policy Exchange. Policy Exchange calls itself a thinktank. I see it as a dark money lobby group, and one of the most deadly anti-environmental organisations in the UK." - George Monbiot

    "Not only had the opposition asked multiple questions in the past two years but the Labour leader had raised this in a speech over the summer. Oh, whined RishGPT, but you only said the buildings were collapsing. You didn’t say they were collapsing with Raac."

    "Keegan was completely unrepentant. She didn’t regret anything. No one could possibly have predicted that out-of-date concrete might be out of date. Any responsible politician would have done nothing and hoped for the best. She was the fucking best."

    "Gillian Keegan is education secretary – a role that has been held by 10 different people since the Conservatives assumed power in 2010. It’s been held by five different people since July last year alone."

    "Each government has its own tone. David Cameron’s had vast carelessness. Theresa May’s had desperation. Boris Johnson’s had chaos and Liz Truss’s was a death cult. Rishi’s Sunak’s, it is becoming clear, is defined by a simmering resentment of the ungrateful bastards who make up the electorate."

    "Dorries duly emerged from the metropolitan elite circles gestured towards in her bio, issuing a statement to the News Agents podcast in which she claimed to be “working daily”.

    This seems to be news to many in the constituency. Dorries has not held a surgery for three and a half years, and the building in which she once did so was long ago turned into a dance studio."
