There’s something curious about the Spott Fitness: since being incorporated in December 2020, the company has never turned a profit. 

 

Is Jenrick in any position of power to abuse it?  Labour now are and that is the problem.

 

Labour MPs defend accepting tens of thousands from little-known company
Wes Streeting, Dan Jarvis and Yvette Cooper received donations from MPM Connect, which has no obvious line of business

Politicians made the rule to prevent corrupt donations, politicians then found away around that same rule.

Sir Keir Starmer will be happy there was no Prime Minister's Questions today.

And there was me thinking that whether the Labour Party were the answer or not at least we wouldn't have to put up with so much self entitlement and  blatant corruption taking place.

 

You'd think at my age I'd have learned not to be so naive wouldn't you?  Ah well, C'est la vie

So the Jenrick stuff isn't happening?

But I thought Labour were the bastions of self righteousness and for the people.

 

The Tories make no bones about loving some cash and freebies, but at least they don't try and fool the public into thinking they don't.

David Lammy 😂😂😂

Now then Hackey. Not sure what Lammy has said to cause you to laugh that much, but seeing as though you have a good sense of humour, I thought I'd share with you a howler that Conservative leadership hopeful Tom Tugendhat made today:

Tugendhat tweeted this morning:

But as Claire Waxman the victims' commissioner for London pointed out:

Tugendhat used to be a minister in the Home Office, and he is now shadow security minister. Penal policy is relevant to his portfolio. He should be expected to know how the scheme operates.

Tom Tugendhat not knowing his job: 😂😂😂

I could counter you with Louise Haigh Minister for Transport but you would want a link to it . 😀

Sue Gray is receiving a salary of £170,00 per year for being Sir keir Starmer's Chief of Staff. Lord Booth Smith who did the same job for Rishi Sunak when he was prime minister received a salary of £145,000 per year.  Why is Sir Keir Starmer paying more than Rishi Sunak for a Chief of Staff if the country is in such dire straits which he wants us all to believe after 14 years of a Conservative government?

Because he can.  Because she's 'worth' it.  Because he's got some spare, diverted pensioner cash. 

 

Don't blame me, I'm a Tory!
