CW: Political Sketch
"In less than a fortnight the Tories will have a new leader and neither Team KemiKaze nor Team Honest Bob will want him on voyage. He should take that as a badge of honour. It’s not his incompetence that’s in question but his sanity. He’s not quite mad enough for the Brave New World."

"Snippy Rish! almost lost it. There was a clear difference between Reform racists and Tory racists. A little bit of mild racism was obviously completely OK. What you would expect to find in a tolerant country."

"With Rishi Sunak away in Germany – strange how the prime minister so often finds the only free slot in his diary is a Wednesday – prime minister’s questions was delegated to the two deputies."

Technosolutionism on steroids
Oh my, how politicians love AI! It really is the answer to all their prayers.
Tricky decisions can be taken off the balance sheet like so many bad debts, shunted into the never-never and left to machines of loving grace.

#Dowden says on #BBCLauraK
"Week after week, people are going on this marches carrying plackards bearing antisemitic tropes."
Since October 8th, only 98 people have been arrested for antisemitism yet many thousands of people have marched

#Dowden justifying Truss not calling out Steve Bannon because the cameras were on her
This is what happens when you enter public service as a politician
In much the same way, plumbers get wet from time to time.

#BBCLauraK pins #Dowden asking him if HE thought Anderson's words were Islamophobic.
He gives a non answer, so Laura says, "I think my viewers will see that you have declined to give your own view what those words mean"
-
#Dowden interpreting Anderson' s words on #BBCLauraK is quite a thing
"I think Lee Anderson was more broadly trying to express is a deep concern .. as to how politics has been conducted over the past week."
I applaud Oliver's linguistic gymnastics as he rocks from one position on the high bar of bullshit to another
It's quite a thing.

'I don't believe Lee Anderson said those remarks intending them to be Islamophobic'
That old excuse of denial ...

“He focused on the report he’d half-written. Page after page of laborious scrawl to remind him that he was trying to understand a complex world by means of his simple mind.”

#Dowden is a coward just like his boss. Neither of them have a spine to call out Lee, Braverman and Truss.
What's the difference between Lee and Braverman & Truss. Is it because Lee isn't really one of them and is expendable?
If his comments are disgusting, then so is what Braverman and Truss said.

#BBCLauraK #Dowden struggles like a fish on a line. Both Dowden & Coffey don't believe #Anderson's remarks are islamophobic?? What more proof do they need? #SayeedaWarsi deserves credit for calling out racists like Anderson, #Braverman et al. #ToryCorruption #rejoinEU #fraternity

“‘On my honour.’
‘On you honour as a drunken rowdy thief?’ said Tiffany.
Rob Anybody beamed. ‘Aye!’ he said. ‘An’ I got a lot of good big reputation to protect there!'”

https://bit.ly/3qkFO1W #OliverDowden is the only person politicising the use of what is rightly identified as a deathtrap to hold immigrants.
Finally, something I have expertise of 🙄 Fighting fires on anything afloat can be a tragedy just waiting to happen. The temperatures that are reached in compartments that are essentially small metal boxes are phenomenal, & deadly.
Of course, #Dowden doesn't give a shit if some 'poors', or better yet some 'costly' bloody immigrant, dies in a fire.

"Oliver Dowden suggests Fire Brigades Union’s concerns over asylum seeker barge politically motivated."
Since quitting Twitter, my political rage levels have admittedly dropped a lot, but this headline in the Guardian has got them right back up there...
So apparently fire fighters accurately assessing risk and expressing concern about a 'floating death trap' is woke now too.
