I read yesterday, there are 48 different Trades Unions, of which only 11 have any affiliation with the Labour Party.
How many companies have affiliations with the Tories, I wonder? JCB are even housing Johnson at the moment, via Lady Bamford.

‘A minimal level of service?’
OK. Then you give us one too.
Enough nurses, beds, teachers and doctors.
No standing in a food bank queue.
Warm homes with proper insulation.
Cheap buses, affordable trains.
Child care which befits a rich nation
And papers which don’t rot our brains.
We had most of that, once, in this country.
We called it the great Welfare State.
Then Thatcher swapped ‘nanny’ for ‘welfare’
And Murdoch changed hope into hate.
We need a new plan for the nation:
Make the rich Tory press barons quail.
Fair wages and proper taxation
And send those who would dodge it to jail.

And in the 2019 general election, the Tories received donations of nearly £20 million from big business and wealthy individuals, while Labour's donations totalled about £6 million.
Plus, of course, the Tories get 'free' support from the majority of Britain's billionaire-owned newspapers.
The whole political system is corrupt, and rigged in the Tories' favour. If Britain was a country in the 'Third World', we'd be condemning it as a Banana Republic, or 'failed state'.

Looks like an amendment to the Online Safety Bill is going to carried with the help of Labour. With implosions on wind farms and house building the party is looking like an uncontrollable rabble with multiple factions fighting for their own survival.
Sunak may have a majority of 70+ but really its like he is running a minority government.

It simply never ends with this mob. Ceaseless bloody con merchants and thieves. To a man.
Nadhim Zahawi facing questions about tax payment
The ex-chancellor is under pressure over reports he will pay millions to settle a dispute with HMRC.

Nadhim Zahawi (who claimed expenses to heat his stables and is currently under fire for avoiding paying millions in tax) doesn't seem to realise that the RMT hasn't been affiliated with Labour since 2004.
Er - he does. He is just smart enough to know that the sort of people whom that post will trigger are too thick-as-f***ing-shit to either know or care.

This story was ignored the right wing rabids, so the Beeb etc felt it wasn't newsworthy
I appreciate its quite normal for your Dad's second cousin to give you an £800k line of credit.
But, why didn't Johnson declare this while he was in office?

Boris Johnson had '£800,000 in credit to fund lavish PM lifestyle’
Boris Johnson's spokesman said all of the former prime minister's finances ‘are and were properly declared’.

One victory over the Think Tanks lodged in 55 Tufton Street and more to come, hopefully. The ERG is the big one, but smaller ones will do for now.

Not sure if anyone has commented on that but there are far more than 48 unions in the UK, more like 130. But you are right about 11 affiliating to Labour.

Well Sunak did say places like Tunbridge Wells were missing out on levelling up, time to let those northern monkeys rot.
Unless your in Richmond (North Yorkshire), who’s the MP?

Wow, some freeloading wanted there! Nurses, teachers etc paid for by tax increases, no food bank queues is a reasonable request. Warm homes/insulation, free for everyone? Cheap public transport. OK. Childcare for everyone? And papers that agree with you, mmmmmm.
Some of what you ask makes sense, but how would you differentiate between needy and lazy?
The only news-worthy item for me would be if they could find a Tory MP who HADN'T tried to screw the public purse for their own benefit.It simply never ends with this mob. Ceaseless bloody con merchants and thieves. To a man.

Truss's 'Britannia Unchained' 'budget' cost the taxpayer £40 BILLION - into the pockets of short sellers and hedge funds. The Daily Mail: 'At last! A proper Tory budget'. No apologies from either. If the £40 billion was recovered from the stinking vultures the pay rises would not be a problem. It's just a matter of the political guts to do it. There's hardly any lazy people any more. Just people doing three jobs who still can't pay their bills while others (including PL) wallow in wealth. It will change: perhaps not in my day, but it will.
