ml1dch Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Who could have forseen that choosing to spend loads of time talking about an issue that (a) most people didn't really have an opinion on and (b) you're catastrophically failing at would make more people aware that you're shit?

You don't need much of a memory to remember that they had 136 children go missing from a hotel run by the home office. 66 of them are still missing and the government have done the square route of FA to try and find them. They are currently passing a bill though that will allow them to hold children in detention until they turn 18 and then deport them. It's a policy designed to send children into the arms of abusers. I know it is tough to find a subject where they have the high ground (Ukraine is the only one I can think of), but they really need to do better than this.

The only slim hope Sunak had of being in with a shout at the next GE was to address the elephant in the room and admit Brexit failed. He didn’t want to have that fight so will pay the price.

markavfc40 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 They'll be asking for the party they represent not to be included alongside the candidate on the ballot paper next. I'm joking, but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 4, 2023 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2023 Quote Exclusive: Government Rejected Dover Port Funding Bid For Extra Passport Booths The cash would have paid for additional checks needed because of Brexit. Ministers turned down a bid by the Port of Dover for funding to build more passport booths, HuffPost UK can reveal. Officials at the port applied to the Cabinet Office for £33 million from a special infrastructure fund in 2020. The cash would have paid for “additional French passport control booths to compensate for slower transaction times and a reordering of controls within the port” following Brexit. But a press release issued by the port in December 2020 says that “at the eleventh hour the port [was] offered just one tenth of one per cent of what was needed”. The press release added: “Dover will still provide the highest frequency, highest capacity and therefore ultimately the best supply chain resilience as the closest point to Britain’s largest trading partner, but the lack of financial support will make a smoother transition more difficult.

It's more just sheer incompetence and lack of any kind of forward thinking that;s the reason, though IMO, rather than a plan to get people to go on holiday in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s proper head in the sand stuff from our government. They don’t want to be seen to be doing a U turn on the expenditure or letting the remoaners be proved right.

All channels have to adhere to the code. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0033/99177/broadcast-code-guidance-section-5-march-2017.pdf They may be sailing close to the wind Quote Rule 5.3No politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in any news programmes unless, exceptionally, it is editorially justified. In that case, the political allegiance of that person must be made clear to the audience. Guidance 1.20 The use of politicians as reporters or presenters in news programmes could be problematic in the context of the requirement for due impartiality. A politician is likely to include an elected representative e.g. an MP or councillor, a candidate, an applicant to be a candidate or a prospective candidate (that is a candidate for election who knows they have been chosen to represent a party at an election), an employee of a political party or an activist.
