  2. Claire Costinho is on ##bbclaurak she is the Conservative shadow energy spokesperson. Her position - the party's position - now seems to be "doing what is for the benefit of British interest."

    LK points out the calm measured difference between her words and Patel's rabid, gung-ho enthusiasm for war and standing by the USA (c/f March 1st 2026) "much more pro active" was the expression she used*

  3. " There are some families that have three of four kids, that's a deeply personal decision. And there are others who have more, and they have tens of thousands of pounds in benefits. And the country is going to go bankrupt" Robert Jenrick #Peston

    Good grief 😔

    (He then smiles because he has got away with saying this unchallenged by Robert)

  10. During Prime Minister's Questions on January 19, 2022, Conservative MP David Davis famously told Boris Johnson, "In the name of God, go!"

    Johnson eventually quit Sept 6th, some 230 days later.

    Such as it was yesterday ....

  11. #Kaf (Kent Against Fascists)

    This is what happens when extremism is normalised.

    A dance in support of Mussolini and Hitler reported in a #Kent local paper.

    On this day in 1935....

  12. Just looking back through things

    The defence #NadhimZahawi used when he was sacked about his offshore trust fund that he created in the Cayman Islands, the one where he deposited £45,000 was that he did it. ...

    .... by accident!

    (Fair play really, I have a vague memory of dropping 65 grand in The Bahamas but not sure when. ......)

  17. At today's #pmqs, Starmer quoted Ben Wallace, the long-standing, previous #Conservative defence secretary:

    "Defence spending has been hollowed out"

    This is the self-same Ben Wallace who, two months before British troops went into Afghanistan, set up an arms procurement company, and one month after we left that country, that business went into administration.

    So perhaps "gouged out" may be a better expression
