On a day after they have voted down an amendment which would stop the NHS being sold off during trade deals with the us.

On a day when the Russia report is finally coming out.

Lets announce something to take the proles attention away shall we?
But still nothing for nurses and care workers. Apart from the threat of deportation once the Immigration Bill goes through

They really are a bunch of fucking arseholes. Local Tory boys Tomlinson and Buckland both towed the party line as usual.

If you don't you rapidly lose the whip these days.

No smoking gun, but you can see why it was sat on for as long as it could be, the No.10 apin will be interesting.

TL:DR the long-awaited "Russia Report" doesn't actually "report" any investigation into "Russia" meddling in the EU referendum, because nobody in government nor the security services bothered checking! (Its not the ISC's job to do the leg work).

And then followed up by a letter announcing a big squeeze on public sector pay in future pay rounds that gets conveniently buried between the initial announcement and the anticipation of the Russia report. So just the usual shitty spin really.

No investigation into Russian interference during brexit (despite strong indications that they would have done following the Scottish referendum and what was known about the US election) because the government didn’t want too

I guess you don’t bite the hand that feeds

No smoking gun? That our govt and security services have been so compromised that they no longer bother investigating whether Russia is corrupting our politics? May as well disband MI5 and MI6 now then

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage says: "Years of lies and smears from Remain politicians and much of our media. There is no evidence of Russian involvement with Leave.EU or me in the referendum. It was all a hoax - apologies are now required."

What a wanker.

He's not an idiot. He would know full well that they just didn't look for the evidence.

And his followers will lap it all up.

So today we have...

Blatantly directing cash into Tory seats and marginals prior to the election https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/why-brighouse-todmorden-stocksbridge-and-morley-were-chosen-ps36bn-towns-fund-despite-being-graded-low-priority-government-2919522

Getting a bit sleazy with staff https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-53472289 (*)

and the Russia Report and its only just gone mid day.

* This is on top of the three Tory mayors who have been convicted for child sex offences inside the last two years, looks like they have quite the safeguarding problem...

Starmer v Johnson

Its the difference between intelligent v well educated

Plus Starmer "did this for a living" to paraphrase Get Carter
