Fucking disgrace.
Instead of swanning around in (v)ermine Barwell should be answering for his (in)actions that made Grenfell possible.

The prime minister Theresa May's chief of staff Gavin Barwell did not act on multiple warnings about fire safety in months before Grenfell, new letters show

Not sure where to put this.,.Lord Magan the former Tory treasure lost his 20 million estate in Kilkenny today. Went broke after the financial crisis and is in deep trouble. Tried the wheeze of putting the house in a trusts name for his kids. Member of British House of Lords loses tenancy battle over Kilkenny mansion

 

[not-bono-ever]

Chickens coming home to roost
David Cameron: Johnson and Gove behaved 'appallingly'

David Cameron has accused the current prime minister, Boris Johnson, and Michael Gove of behaving "appallingly" during the EU referendum campaign. Speaking to the Times ahead of the launch of his memoir, the former Tory PM attacked some colleagues who backed Leave for "trashing the government".

Mr Cameron said the result in 2016 had left him "hugely depressed" and he knew "some people will never forgive me". He also said another referendum cannot be ruled out "because we're stuck". Mr Cameron criticised Mr Johnson's strategy for dealing with Brexit, including his decision to suspend Parliament ahead of the 31 October deadline and removing the whip from 21 Tory MPs who voted to block a no-deal Brexit.

Not even a seat that was strongly remain, dead unless he's parachuted in somewhere.

I wonder how many Tories have to join the LDs before they are no longer progressive.

Maybe he got in on his personal vote.

Only a palpable hit could have engendered a response like that. You'd think that, of all people, a politician would realise it's not so smart to show your hand quite so blatantly, but maybe the Twitter age is a challenge too far for them...

On the contrary, I think he'll fit in well

Did anyone see or hear the quote from Frankie Boyle?

‘The last time this cabinet saw eye to eye was across the back of a weeping first-year.’

David Cameron's remarks on Queen and Scottish vote led to 'an amount of displeasure' at the Palace, source tells BBC

Not really a death spiral but pleasing to see the old guard upsetting the queen while the new guard are lying to her

Though, tbf, I thought it was very kind of her to get the Duke of Edinburgh to give him a lift home.

Caught a story in one of the Aus papers that when they withdrew the whip from one of the rebels they forgot to sack him as a trade representative so he's off on a jolly to Laos despite not representing the government anymore. Ed someone. Pretty minor but indicative of the shambles.

Sadly not the case as I found when I asked for her autograph on a cheque made out to cash
