Conservative candidates in the general election will be told not to sign up to specific pledges on protecting the NHS from privatisation and trade deals or tackling climate change, according to a leaked internal document from party headquarters.

the tory election launch on the front page of the Telegraph tomorrow is... not impressive.

So, big headline about Labour pointing fingers, accompanied by a photo of...Johnson pointing a finger. They haven't thought this through, have they? And that headline is far too prolix.

They think they're being much cleverer than they are

Strange, why don't they go with their normal strategy of promising one thing then doing the exact opposite once elected?

Still, it's a while since I've seen the word 'kulaks' in an English broadsheet headline.

Looking forward to Wednesday

is the cultural revolution so soon forgotten?

Madness how the idea of profit is assumed to be the accepted motivation for humanity. The telegraph is a comic.

it's not as funny as it used to be

oh: and despite what the torygraph might shriek bosses aren't 'wealth creators', they're parasitical pigs. the wealth created by er the workers.

Another one that is probably already posted but worth putting on the record.

Now we have proof: the government used your money to lie about poor people | Aditya Chakrabortty

The DWP’s own filings show that £225,000 was paid to the Metro to run ads now declared “misleading”, “unsubstantiated” and “exaggerated”. Almost a quarter of million pounds was taken off us to lie to us.

Been a lot of money wasted on advertising campaigns of late

These people need putting down

When LBC’s Nick Ferrari asked Coffey this morning why the candidate was still representing the Conservative Party, the minister replied that “it’s up to the voters in Gower who they want to be her MP” .

Asked whether she would personally vote for the candidate in question, Coffey said: “In the next election? Yes, I absolutely would.”

Can't take much more of these cunts , can't we skip the spiral bit and go straight to the death part? Without passing GO like?

You raise an interesting question. I can say there have been initial discussions with the makers of the French police procedural engrenages about a storyline involving the sinking of a barge carrying hundreds of former people in the seine but they need to talk to their insurers before any mass drowning can occur. In principle they're up for it.

The empty chair probably did better than Cleverley would, so not a great loss for them.

Why do I get the feeling none of this will matter?

Experience? Become too used to being disappointed?

I think under Johnson, the tories are following the Trump path (in some ways) and getting away with more blatant shit and lies than before.

He has apologised. Let’s move on..

sad to say for many people there won't be a show trial.

for the first tranches of former people one question will be asked: 'are you in who's who?', and upon confirmation that they are they will board a tumbril for transit to tilbury.

 

[not-bono-ever]

an entry in “who was who “ would be a fitting epitaph for those that missed the boat

 

[not-bono-ever]

The carrot for the transit passengers who pride themselves on entrepreneurship would be their chance to make an impression - and survive the winter- by finding a key role in a nascent multi level guano marketing opportunity

If this one thinks this blubbing admission of guilt will earn him any privileges such as an extra scrap of penguin skin he can think again.

Because if the electorate cared about decency the tories would have been extinct for centuries?

Still stunned at Patel getting the minister of interior suppression gig. It really puts the utter shitness of this cabal into perspective. Thatcher must be turning in her grave
