As an institution, yes. But that doesn't stop the individuals employed there having their own opinions on whether or not the Minister is a twat, just so long as they don't allow that to seep into their reports.

Hang on - according to the Corbynistas the lovely Laura Kuenssberg been doing this for months?

Hunt has kept his job apparently

I suspect due to health being such a mess no one else wanted it, possibly entirely coincidental but Theresa Villiers tweeted shortly before his staying was confirmed that she had turned down a cabinet position?

Same as teachers can think Jeremy Hunt is walking rhyming slang so long as they don't teach the kids that. They just give them the tools to work it out for themselves Smiley

At the end of the day Tories will always be Tories, they will look after the self interest of their class, if that coincides with bringing benefits to the lower orders to maintain social cohesion, then sobeit.

Lowest proportion of privately educated cabinet members (30%) of any government, Labour or Tory, since Attlee in 1945. I know that "Reg blames the Tories" is kind of a running theme on here now, but credit where it's due.

Its probably just me but I am naturally very suspicious of any state educated Tory politician!

Angela Leadsom has claimed that men shouldn't be carers just in case they turn out to be a paedophile. As I said to PaulD, it's hardly surprising she thinks all men are paedophiles when she is hanging around with Tory MPs for most of the day.

Can only assume May has included Leadsom in the Cabinet as Minister for "be grateful you got me, look at the fucking nutcase you could have ended up with"

So now we know what Jeremy Corbyn's 'new politics' consist of;

Lying through his teeth to try and shoe horn a point across https://www.virgintrains.co.uk/about/media-room/#/pressreleases/virgin-trains-clarifies-labour-leaders-claim-of-ram-packed-service-1530005

Whilst being accused of racial discrimination by your own shadow ministers http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/22/ex-shadow-minister-accuses-jeremy-corbyn-of-discrimination

I really don't care who the Labour leader is, but it needs someone credible to lead something resembling an opposition and hold the Tories to account.

I wasn't sure whether to put this in the good or bad things thread but wherever its just farcical!

Pure The Thick of It stuff that, how on earth could they not find a packed train to do that stunt on? Pick the 7:30 to Bristol out of Paddington every week night and you'll have no problem...

Whatever you do just keep believing what they tell you to believe.  The shit the media and the PLP are flinging at him is pretty desperate.  Accusing him of racism is a new low really.

Fuck.  Im starting to sound like a tinfoil hat wearing loon.
