When a Government...

[BillyStubbsTears]

So Lee Anderson resigns to vote against the bill. Then votes for it. Alright then.

Not the sharpest tool in the box is he

You ever see that video of him "canvassing" before the Election? f**k me sideways.

The one where he phones his mate to act like he don’t know him with his TV mic still on?

Aye. This one.

I'm not sure who's thicker. Him or the people of Ashfield who voted for him after it.

[BillyStubbsTears]

This was our Prime Minister today.

Berating the next Prime Minister for being an expert in Human Rights legislation.

Because, obviously, it's better for us to be led by someone who got sacked for making up stories in the papers. Or someone who appeared to be clinically insane. Or someone who made his pile working for the financial companies who wrecked the economy, then married a non-dom heiress.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Oh aye. And someone who appears not to know the difference between a textbook and a photocopy of the cover. Maybe if he read the book, he'd understand why we needed a Convention on Human Rights, and why Britain created the damn thing.

[BillyStubbsTears]

By the way. Here's 30p fascist Lee Anderson earning part of his £100k a year from GB News, telling them he's yitten as well as thick.

What an absolute prick!

What an absolute prick!

That's the link I thought I'd posted last night Filo. What an utter embarrassment that people voted for him.

[idler]

Surely after that he must have lost credibility with even his staunchest supporters. He’s not fit to be anywhere near parliament.

[BillyStubbsTears]

You want to know how far gone the BBC is?

Nick Robinson on R4 this morning called Anderson "The Red Wall made flesh".

That's how shite their understanding of this country is. They think Anderson is representative of folk Oop North. Instead of being the sort of thick as mince fascist gobshite on the make that every place has.

[ravenrover]

Sadly 30pLee got what he wanted, headlines and an interview on BBC EM to spout his drivel.
A spot poll in Sutton in Ahfield, his HQ, by BBC EM found plenty that agreed with his drivel

[BillyStubbsTears]

By the way. All you who take up every mistake that Abbott ever made in spontaneous responses in interviews.

You'll never forget this one.

https://x.com/inglesongrey/status/1747740979233231251?s=20

That's a woman who actually was Deputy PM under Truss. Choosing to stand up in Parliament and demonstrate to the world how thick she is.

[belton rover]

You are certainly doing your bit, Billy.
I’m not sure it will have the desired effect though.

They’ll not be happy the Labour front bench are laughing and sniggering

This is amazing. Big working class hard man who tells it like it is... who runs away when people are laughing at him. What an absolute throbber.

Everyone is laughing ...... or crying, when a dodgy government trots out dodgy figures easily verified with junior school math ...........

''Rishi Sunak has been rebuked by the UK's statistics watchdog over his claim to have cleared the backlog of asylum claims.

The Home Office claimed earlier this month to have cleared a "legacy" backlog of 92,000 applications lodged before July 2022.

The prime minister then posted on social media to say "the backlog of asylum decisions" had been cleared.

But the watchdog said people may have felt "misled" by his language.

Official figures show a decision had not been reached in 4,537 of the "legacy" cases highlighted by the Home Office.

And they also showed that there are still 98,599 cases in the overall backlog where an initial decision has yet to be made''

Syd, I’m not defending Sunak here and I agree that he was wrong to claim on social media that the backlog had been cleared.
I thought so at the time he did that.
However if the HO has cleared almost 90,000 of the applications lodged before July 2022 then that is a good thing isn’t it?
The 98,599 cases that you are highlighting is presumably post July 2022 applications and if so has nothing to do with the social media statement made by Sunak so I’m not sure why you are mentioning that.
It also emphasises how big the asylum claims thing is.

[i_ateallthepies]

They were discussing this on Radio 5 last week and had someone on to explain what the fuss was about.  He explained the details of the 90,000 odd cases and why the claim of clearing them was deliberately misleading.  In addition to the 4,537 legacy cases still not dealt with the main point of spin for me and I guess many others was that the majority of the cleared cases were cleared by approving them en-bloc as legitimate asylum cases.

So, cleared perhaps but I doubt to the satisfaction of those who want immigration reduced.

[Donnywolf]

But if Sunak the Prime Miniature sticks to "The Plan" everything will come up roses bcos :

A Labour doesn't have a Plan and
B If they win GE "we" will be " back to square one"

We will hear that more times than the Votes they win

[drfchound]

No need to worry about that outcome Wolfie.
Labour to win by a country mile.

And THIS gets to the core of the mendacity.

The overwhelming majority of asylum seekers who arrive by "illegal" methods turn out to be genuine asylum seekers. We have a duty to accept genuine asylum seekers. But, other than in a very small number of cases, we've made it physically impossible for people to claim asylum before they arrive here. So we force them into illegal means of arrival, castigate them for that, then quietly accept that their cases are genuine after all.

And if that wasn't enough, our Government which has forced people to arrive by unsafe methods, wheeled out some moral black hole of a minister last night to weep crocodile tears and say the purpose of the Rwanda policy was to deter people from making hazardous boat trips because the Govt has a responsibility to protect people.

Government by spivs and chancers who have besmirched the name of this country for too long. Count the days down till they are out for good.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Another one for you Abbott trollers to fill your boots with.

I'm sure you'll all be guffawing about this in 7 years time.

[MachoMadness]

Simon Clarke, the Tory MP promoted way above his station because Johnson wanted somebody at the treasury to stand next to Sunak and make him look even shorter than he is, has publicly called for him to go tonight.

He's a relatively senior back bencher in the current Tory party. Could be interesting.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Just beat me to it MM.

Maybe that was the exciting news we were told to wait for.

In fairness to Sunak, being criticised by a man who thought Truss was right is probably a compliment.

[MachoMadness]

I'm seeing people referring to him as Sir Simon Clarke? When did this come in? They really will hand these things out to anyone won't they?

Tories have circled the wagons fairly quickly so I'd be surprised if it goes much further.

Johnson's resignation honours list. Any right minded person would have been ashamed to take it. A mark if honour given by a lying, cheating amoral philanderer.

[Filo]

Once a thick Kitson...

We all know a Lee. Every Miners' Welfare had one. Gob the size of the hole in our defence, an ego even bigger, and a brain the size of a pea.

So the guy who resigned from his job to vote against the Rwanda Bill and then abstained because Labour MP’s were laughing at him, now wishes he voted for the Bill and would like his job back, what a f**king knob

[BillyStubbsTears]

You know down south they think everyone from mining towns is as thick as a bucket of monkey spunk?

I wonder why?

Count the days. Well earned obscurity calls for that bell end.

[MachoMadness]

When they can't even manage to bump off their party leader competently you know the Tory party has fully run out of road.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I'm thinking they are in big trouble after the election. There's an air of Labour "79 about them. There's basically two parties under one roof and they are anathema to each other. Historically the Tories have been an amazingly disciplined machine, putting on a front of unity. But I can't see how the One Nation Tories and the Clarke/Braverman/Cates faction can possibly unite once the discipline of being in power is lifted. They are already starting to fight like cats in a sack while they are still IN power.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Best Tweet I saw this lunchtime by the way said, if you're asked by a polling agency who you'll vote for, for God's sake say Tory. Then their numbers might go up and they might call an early election.

Count the days...

[ravenrover]

Wonder who will assume command when Sunak loses his seat?
