It's funny as the polls show that currently it's the same as the May 2022 election. I.e. LNP wipeout.

@GoldingBF You're right, because this footage isn't from Britain (hint: it's European).

The FCA said: "With the exception of these cases that would be better categorised as customer behaviour, no cases were reported where an account had been declined, suspended or terminated for the primary reason of ‘expression of political or any other opinions."

This essentially translates to "and I would have got away with it If it wasn't for those pesky Investagive journalists & tax experts" - zero shame or humility.

The Conservative bed-wetting over Labour's Sue Gray appt is funny and predicable: Boris Johnson wasn't brought down over the SG report, it was the Chris Pincher scandal. The outrage is because she knows where the bodies are buried and how the Tory machine works. Simple.

If Boris Johnson is as popular as his supporters claim, then why does he need to be parachuted into a safer seat? 🤔

@MartinDaubney Maybe the Tory government should have built more houses over the last 12 years? Housing availability has been an issue for a decade, and your paymasters haven't done a thing about it.
