The Great Betrayal: Anyone who previously worked in criminal investigations knows the need to be on the look-out for anomalies. So, here’s one I discovered relating to both Mark Menzies and William Wragg.

EXPENSES FOR MARK MENZIES

Scarily naive interview by Ofcom on BBC Media Show. Farage may be allowed to present GB News show during election campaign as long as he's 'duly impartial'. Seriously?

And Ofcom could even reach a decision on rule-breaking 'within 48 hours'!!

As I used to advise witnesses appearing before me at the select committee: if you don’t know the answer, just say so. 😬

“TV and radio stations with shows hosted by politicians could face fines if they break impartiality rules during the next general election campaign, Ofcom has warned.”

Good to see Ofcom taking action, especially after we wrote to them on this recently:

A brilliant editor, great bloke, and a huge loss. Snap him up, someone.

The health department is still spending nearly £890,000 a week on storing PPE:

Nice one saviour, like it, like it.

When Katy Hopkins said the same thing about shooting refugees out of the water, she was sacked from her column at the Sun.

Politics has so degraded by the point six years on, it can be the policy of party and one of its leaders.

That’s how far we’ve sunk

Who other than the Tory prats didn't see that coming?

Ben Habib

the obnoxious, wealthy, political Pakistani IMMIGRANT wants legal asylum seekers left to drown in the Channel.

Sorry Ben. Game over for you.

What an abhorrent individual. Ladder kicking scum.

Tom Swarbrick...'Susan Hall, you're going to use Pension Funds to build new houses in London, is that correct?'

Susan Hall...'Yes that's right.'

Tom Swarbrick...'How many houses will be built?'

So we're back to it all being France's fault, are we

France already has >2x asylum claims of the UK, doesn't have manpower to 'take back control' of UK borders for it, and last but not least you COULD have sent people back to France if it hadn't been for YOUR sodding referendum!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY FOR ONLY 200 migrants to be sent to Rwanda????? Not to mention flights,judges,courts,security? There’s something going on here we are NOT being told! My view…….MONEY LAUNDERING!

The Tories now have a mechanism for flying 50k people to Rwanda.

Since they did not process asylum claims.

At YOUR cost.

If you support this BS, do you understand how stupid you are?

Covid four years on: have we got over the pandemic? theweek.com/health/covid-f…

How do they get to this £75bn number? 🤨

HM Treasury Anybody would think we didn’t have a Parliament where MPs sit and debate such issues after proposed policy changes are announced by the appropriate Minister of State. Instead, we now have a series of pop-up announcements that avoid scrutiny. Time for a #GeneralElectionNow

Yet a hard-charging trader based 1,000 miles away has become enmeshed in Warrington council’s finances
