markavfc40 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 If Zelenskyy/the war in Ukraine were a cow the Tories would have milked it pretty much dry by now. They have hid behind the war to excuse so many failings in the UK due to their policies over the last 13 years/Brexit and have used Zelenskyy as a means to be Mr Ben for the day a few times, especially Johnson.

I can think of at least three logistical problems that stop it working, but if (as is suggested) he's trying to work out a way back, I guess he'll need a new seat sooner or later. Dorries announces she's standing down at the next election. How convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Genie Posted February 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2023 I just watched a disaster-class in front of camera from Braverman. They’re gonna stop the boats crossing the channel, for sure, they are committed to it. Reporter asks how.. SB: Words are worthless. Action is more important and we’re going to take action. It’ll be obvious in a year things have improved. Reporter: Ok, so in a year we’ll see an improvement? SB: I won’t put a time on it Reporter: You just did, you said it’ll be clear in a year.

Yeah it’s amazing how little you hear them crowing on about the vaccine rollout anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2023 So, a 10% swing away from Tories in West Lancashire. Anyone know if that's worse than expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tories didn't vote, most people didn't vote. I've been in and around Ormskirk lots of times in the last few weeks, you wouldn't have known there was a by-election tbh. Labour probably got their core vote out in Skem, job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote one instance where we’ve done that. 18 minutes ago, Genie said: HS2 That a general comment, or have you seen that the land surveys were botched? Quote HS2 Ltd, the company responsible for the HS2 railway, had promised to make up for the damage the route would cause to nature. Concerned by the huge risk to wildlife that the current route poses, we've spent almost a year looking into the official HS2 nature loss calculations. And the numbers don't add up. No-one has checked the detail. Until now. During our audit we found seriously flawed and out-of-date methodologies and a long list of errors - including habitats wrongly identified or undervalued by the company, and new planting overvalued. The evidence shows that far more nature will be lost along the route than anyone ever expected. https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/hs2-sign-our-open-letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We encouraged an uprising, then f**ked off when Russia got involved. Wonder if that had any bearing on Putin's expansion plans?
