Nadine Dorries has done a book and by all appearances it's a riot.

Nadine Dorries has claimed in her new book that the Conservatives have been controlled for 20 years by a cabal known as the “movement”, which orchestrated the end of Boris Johnson’s tenure as prime minister.

The former culture secretary has alleged the group consists of levelling up secretary Michael Gove, Johnson’s former chief of staff Dominic Cummings and an adviser called Dougie Smith.

Dorries, a staunch ally of Johnson, said the cabal ousted the former prime minister and also “brought down Iain Duncan Smith as party leader, created havoc for Theresa May and undermined Liz Truss”.

The former MP’s book, The Plot: the Political Assassination, is being serialised in the Mail. According to excerpts in the paper, Dorries wrote that after Johnson made Cummings his chief of staff, the so-called “movement” instigated its plan to replace the prime minister after his December 2019 election victory as he had already served his purpose by winning an 80-seat majority.

Braverman has formally pitched a ban on tents in urban areas, except on your own land or garden, as well as a fine for charities to stop them giving out tents to homeless people for free.

It's going to be in the new criminal justice bill as part of the new legislation to replace the 1824 Vagrancy Act, which criminalised rough sleeping and begging.

She's the very definition of stupid evil. Pity she's also got no sense of integrity; otherwise she'd self deport, given that her parents fit her definition of illegal economic migrants.
 
This myth of Johnson being why they won, the bloke they couldn't let go in front of any more serious journalist than the St Paul's Infants Gazette edited by Sally aged 6? And even she had to be bought off when she stumped him with her first question "Are you my daddy?" Which left Johnson bloviating like a donkey.

She's going to put on a poppy, bow her head and pontificate about 'sacrifice', 'duty' and 'remembrance'.

How many veterans currently living on the streets will she take tents from because of their 'lifestyle choice'??

Her thoughts on sacrifice: "You should all scrifice yourselves to the glory of MEEEEEEEE!"

Braverman has apparently said that Remembrance Day is an inappropriate day to march in support of a ceasefire. :rolleyes:
 
Braverman clearly not a believer in 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'. Once you accept that a protest should be banned because some people associated with it might say unacceptable things or might cause disorder, well then every protest can be banned, which I suspect is the intention.
 
Suella says being homeless is a lifestyle choice and Rishi says people should be comfortable failing and giving up their regular pay cheques.

They're not even bothering anymore.

It's another thing that I doubt enthuses the right of the party, but is driving a lot of natural Tories away.

It's performative cruelty that probably harms the electoral chances of the Tory party. But probably enhances Braverman's chances in the leadership election when Sunak resigns or is forced to step down.

For example, one of Dad's friends messaged me today with a 38 degrees petition against that. They'd be natural Tories - rural, affluent, retired.

Sunak (per reports on the Beeb just now) has been saying that the march is close to the Cenotaph and clashes with the usual ceremonials there. Neither of these things is true, according to the organisers of the ceasefire march...Who'd'a'thunk it?

Of course it ******* is.
 
British Volt was supposed to be a battery maker that would secure the future of the UK car industry.

Unfortunately they were a bunch of chancers and the company went out of business.

It was bought out by Recharge Industries who, surprise, surprise turn out to be a bunch of chancers who failed to pay the asking price and who haven't paid staff for months. :mad:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67312309

This would be bad enough if it were an unimportant company in an irrelevant industry sector but this is supposed to be a nationally important company in a strategically vital industry.

IfbI remember correctly, Carrot Flower King had been particularly scathing about the feasibility of British Volt and the desperation of the local politicians to have a big employer and who misunderstood the near certainty of failure. From the announcement.
 
Government officials have drawn up deeply controversial proposals to broaden the definition of extremism to include anyone who “undermines” the country’s institutions and its values, according to documents seen by the Observer.

The new definition, prepared by civil servants working for cabinet minister Michael Gove, is fiercely opposed by a cohort of officials who fear legitimate groups and individuals will be branded extremists.
