[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[WATFORD zero]

Thanks for the heads up

Well obviously it will make very little difference to you, as you desperately drag out the last 12 months of what you voted for (twice), but for a lot of other people, it's quite informative about what your preferred Government are doing

Sorry this isn't really for here, it made me laugh but isn't worthy of its own space so here will have to do.

You couldn't make it up. Is her doubled barrelled surname for real?

William Wragg, the MP who admitted sharing MPs' personal phone numbers with someone on a dating app, has "voluntarily" given up the Conservative whip.

He will now sit as an independent MP in the House of Commons.

But not before allowing his WiFi password to be on full view during a photoshoot.

Doesn’t this just smack of desperation now?

Doesn’t this just smack of desperation now?

Yes, definitely. especially when Tory shill accounts are still trying to make capital out of it, and getting rounded on. I've been blocked by these for pointing out the 'protestor' was one of their own. https://twitter.com/ToryVote_

Farmers who have their entire cropping land submerged underwater have found they are ineligible for a government flooding hardship fund – because their farms are too far from a major river.

And soooooo...as expected....slippery Sunak's NHS targets have been missed again. And that is despite another fiddle to the numbers to exclude 36K community paediatric appointments.

"We still have more work to do, but our plan is working." said the lying, smug shortarse.

PM defends NHS record as targets missed in England

The latest figures show many patients face long waits, but the PM insists headway is being made.

At least they had the gumption to include a Question Mark to avoid being done for potential libel.

Possibly but is impersonating a tax officer an offence?

So that’s why GBeebies are not going out of business….

At least when the waters recede the crystal clear waters won't have polluted their land

I'm not sure there is much of a problem with that. Also go out on Sky who get a better rate.

That revenue goes nowhere near GBNews losses.

I have spent a lot of years on this planet watching political groups, parties and factions over the last 50 years and in the last 5 years seen the most ridiculous, far fetched, beyond all reasonable expectations stuff from this current cabal, but that is beyond all satire and can't possibly be true. Please tell me it isn't really true. It has to be parody doesn't it ?

Please somebody post a source to show it's made up shit

Oh dear me

"Government advertising" is obviously not party political broadcasting. It's those adverts trying to get you to join the army or teaching etc...

The Government have a budget of almost a billion to do it, not that they usually spend it all.

GBNews doesn't run it's own sales, Sky do it for them and the same adverts will end up on GBNews after the next general election.

"GB News has faced criticism for spreading anti-vaxx conspiracy theories; just £433 was spent on a single Covid-19 advert, which spent one day on air in November 2021."

Well that's good ad-sales isn't it, because why would you a place it on a channel for conspiracy theorists ?

I feel a bit let down by Byline News (and three from the top Carol) as I read their views a lot. It's actually the sort of complete non story GBNews run.

We're gonna have to used to this for a while, the media allowing their political allegiances to deeply influence their editorial. But I expected better of them.

Popbitch ran the story about GBNews redundancies today, but it's not really a GBNews story.

Advertising revenue generally has fallen off the cliff and many stations who rely on it are also making similar cuts.

What’s the betting this’ll be an absolute car crash, yet earn the vile old moron a fortune in ironic purchases?
