Like the chap from Unilever said on QT, should we also not be looking at the general issue donations to political parties and the way these are used to buy influence and/or honours. Once the current scandals have been resolved, we should review the entire shambles.

There are two big issues about funding at the moment

1. £3m buys you a peerage
2. Tory MPs getting threatened with withdrawal of local funding if they don't toe the line.

Both bang out of order.

In other news, the "Levelling Up Fund" is paying £19m to Arun Council which is about as far south as you can imagine. Yes there are pockets of poverty down south. But.

It's so bent, it's quite unbelievable that more people aren't up in arms.

I despair - our elected government might be venal, but its electorate is pusillanimous.

why did he drag in his wife to this story :/

His wife was always in the story. She was Chair of the Aintree Racecourse for about time when the Grand National became the Randox Grand National. Personally, given the equine carnage that often occurs at that race, Randox seems like the perfect sponsor.

Is Randox a suitable sponsor for Grand National after Paterson sleaze row?

Rees-Mogg said that the proles should make their own medicine rather than relying on the NHS to provide for them. He also said that there is enough information online about Dentistry for working and lower class people to do it themselves, even set up small businesses.

As far as I know home dentistry is illegal

On others, almost certainly. Auto-dentistry, maybe not so much.

Though this government is very happy to overlook illegality when it suits it to.

I have a horrible feeling that, in the quarters where there is approval of the way benefits claimants are being treated, the "thing we can't say any more" is something along the lines of 1930s Germany's "useless eaters". One of the things that is most repellent about this government is the ruthless insistence on presenting financial/economic arguments for everything, and discounting the idea that treating people kindly because it's the decent thing to do has any validity.

Do you do a deluxe service, only with a quality single malt?

Too good for the proles who can't afford professional dental work.

Their experience would be expanded if any additional MP earnings were limited to NMW/hour.

My work with the jewellery industry and experience with NHS dentistry tells me that some dentists skills are of the keen amater level not the skilled craftsmen level.

The dentist expects every customer to administer their own anaesthetic before getting into the restraints. Payment before surgery strictly cash.

Rees-Mogg makes his own contraceptives.

I think his tailor makes them for him.
