TWC describes itself as: Yes, I mentioned this on a previous page. But I feel like there's a lot more to be discovered with this guy, in particular exactly how he keeps his lobbying separate from his legislating (or more likely doesn't) and what his 'offer' is to potential clients. I also can't help but wonder if he's organised meetings with any other friendly Israeli figures for MP's. Basically, this is where I am: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a source that tells me regularly that Labour are a government in waiting and once in power (current estimates: sometime before the last date for Christmas postage), they will announce 'ha ha! we are really a remain party!' and we can all get back to normal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2017 Ahead of the Budget looks like the ABI is starting a campaign to discourage any further IPT increases. Standard IPT has doubled over the last 2 years, which is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I suggest calling it the 'Complete and Utter Nasty Tories World Cup' though? There's always a group of death. Plus Group E looks like a bit of a two horse race. I think it was called something like that on the internet. Some guy from mashable started it and it took on a life of it's own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osborne is in there because I thought he could play his games on the weekend when he has the most free time. Should add, he's also asked if he can be fourth official in Group B if games are evening kick off. Oh, and he's going to engrave the cup for us in his lunch hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
