Tory Leadership contest 2022

Well, you said high yield bonds and equities!

I said a combination. Their portfolio can afford 20%, for example, to gain a bit more yield. And high yield bonds includes BB rated, eg Mitsubishi, while equities includes Unilever and, oh I don’t know, Imperial Tobacco or some other utter bastards that generate massive dividends year after year.

The members, who will vote for mordant because she sexy without admitting or even knowing that’s why they’re doing it, I hope they’re all married to rishi fans.

I have no idea why the Telegraph refers to Corbyn having a far-Left policy platform. Far-left compared to the Telegraph perhaps, but I'd disagree even with that.

I once had dinner with a Telegraph journalist ( all on her expenses tab) and she honestly thought the paper was ‘in the centre’ .

Was it a date ?

 

[The39thStep]

isnt she second favourite amongst MPs?

I get the sense the majority of their political correspondents are for Truss . Hence this angle .

Well as I can’t go to the pub tomorrow, thank you coronavirus, I guess my Friday night is sorted.

No that won’t help. A Telegraph journalist bought you dinner and you probably had pudding and tablecloths and everything and you will not disclose the context, highly suspect goings on.

I feel like a financial genius now. For our workplace pension we could choose different types of funds for it to go into. I chose a balance of stable boring old stuff, cutting-edge green technology. Said no to evil tobacco et cetera. In fact I think I favoured it slightly in the more riskie end.
Get back to me in 25 years or so to see if I’m eating out of bins…

We (foolishly) gave a lift to a Telegraph journalist when chasing that NF photographer to Drayton Park in the Harrington campaign. She definitely wasn't 'centre'.

Delicate matters like this require a degree of integrity imo

INTEGRITY. Yes decency and integrity, and DELIVERING for the BRITISH PEOPLE.
that is what this election is all about.
I bet you sold her a story.

I reckon it was the dinner where the Lexit/Brexit secret pact was arranged.

The editor of the Daily Mail online lives round the corner from me. Never met him but his wife is a right snooty cow. Trufax. Sidebar of shame that, you nobhead.

Come to China, the Han majority don't even bother to attempt the names of fellow citizens of other ethnicities properly, and some like the Mongols used to run the place! Also force all the different Han languages into one pronunciation.

My claim was entirely anecdotal of course and should have been more like "in my experience having travelled from Argentina to Zimbabwe (not directly) the English are still the only people who insist on mispronouncing my name which is now spelt phonetically for English speakers because they wouldn't even try with the original spelling".

I hope you had the better of it.

She was an Acting Sub-Lieutenant in RN Reserves ( ie crossed the Solent in a RHIB). Then she promoted herself to Captain when she was at the MoD. She absolutely has not qualified for or earned the Submariner's Dolphins.

Somebody needs to do a stolen valour video ambush on her.

I hope you pictured his dad as you beat him to a bloody pulp.

I've been desparately trying to remember if I've had any interesting encounters with the right-wing commentariat to contribute, but it seems vanishingly few of them hang around in the kind of out-in-the-sticks parts of the North East that I tend to frequent.

I did once stand next to a senior member of the BNP at a urinal.

Did you piss on him? Was he on fire?

 

[bimble]

i went on a date with the editor of a now defunct magazine called The Liberal. Which will surprise exactly nobody here.

He was one of the heed-the-ball ones, not one of the creepy pseudo-intellectual ones, so I reluctantly decided it was probably best not to shove him mid-stream.
