We will be a laughing stock among other nations, having such a lying, venal, philandering, lazy, narcissistic, hypocritical racist as a PM. On a par with how we mock the US for having ended up with that arse Trump. They must realise this - don't they? Do they really not care? Yes. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 3 minutes ago, bickster said: Telegraph Poll gave Boris a 140 seat majority That would be nice for the tax dodging, Telegraph owning Barclay Brothers. Moving on. Quote A prominent climate change sceptic’s company has donated £25,000 each to both Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt’s leadership campaigns, openDemocracy has discovered. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s largest donation was £25,000 on May 22 from First Corporate Shipping, according to the register of MPs’ interests. First Corporate Shipping is the trading name of Bristol Port, which is co-owned by Tory donors Terence Mordaunt and Sir David Ord. Mordaunt is a director of the Global Warming Policy Forum, the advocacy arm of the climate sceptic Global Warming Policy Foundation. The group has been accused of “giving a platform to fringe climate science deniers” and getting “credibility within the political world through its high-profile Westminster connections.” Boris Johnson also received £25,000 from the Bristol Port owners ‘“at the same time” as Hunt, Mordaunt told openDemocracy. The Tory front-runner, who launched his leadership bid today, has yet to record the donation on his register of interests. He has until later this month to do so. openDemocracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should ask Michael Heseltine or Matthew Parris about that. Or perhaps Mohammed Amin, chair of the Conservative Muslim Forum, who says he'll resign if Johnson is chosen.

mjmooney Posted June 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2019 Well, those of us licking our lips at the prospect of the death of the Conservative Party should probably be pleased, because this will hasten it for sure. What remains to be seen is what damage he can do to the country along the way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Golly, a privatised service failing. An exam board, the irony. Quote The questions were first posted on Twitter in a now deleted post; the account holder urged students to get in touch, offering the whole paper for £70. It is the third year in a row that A-level maths questions from an Edexcel paper were revealed online ahead of the exam. BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
