I dunno, I'm sure plenty in business said "Fuck Johnson" at some point in his glittering career.I seem to recall it was a certain Boris Johnson that said "Fuck business," not the other way round.

Kemi Badenoch asked to use taxpayers’ money to pay for holiday flight, sources claim
Exclusive: MP also allegedly used her ministerial car for gym trips and ordered advisers to run personal errandswww.theguardian.com
I wonder if it’s coming from the civil servants with a nod and wink from Sue Gray..?The party is clearly feeding these leaks, because she was in second place after Braverman in the polling of members, they just need to wipe out Patel next, and that'll be their hattrick in knocking out the women for their leader.
TBF, they were/are the most toxic in the race.

I’m pretty sure certain corporate travel policies would allow for this. It’s not really an unreasonable request given one way flights are usually more expensive than returns for long haul for reasons Bahnhof Strasse can probably explainThat particular leak is really weak isn't it. She was flying to Mexico on official business and asked about getting an onward flight to Texas instead of a return flight, at a lower cost, and was told no. Not really smoking gun stuff is it.
Well, two of the women PMs we have had were appalling.The party is clearly feeding these leaks, because she was in second place after Braverman in the polling of members, they just need to wipe out Patel next, and that'll be their hattrick in knocking out the women for their leader.

And Liz Truss was pretty shit too.Well, two of the women PMs we have had were appalling.

Not surprised a govt policy wouldn’t allow it, in my part of the public sector we are paying someone’s prescription charges due to a work related injury. due to the number of prescriptions it would be cheaper for the person to get a prescription prepayment certificate however work won’t allow this as the certificate would then cover any prescriptions the person has which aren’t due to the work related injury!I can't explain why, I exploit it, massively, on a daily basis but really don't know why it's a thing. Could understand a return being similar to a one-way, as rail tickets are, but longhaul business class one way can be many £1000s more than a return, it's nuts.
Doesn't say where in Mexico she went, assume Mexico City, London-Mexico City-London in business with BA is more than London-Mexico City-Dallas-London with BA/American Airlines, so it's really not unreasonable for the whole flight to be covered, all my corporate customers would allow this to happen, including the most rigid and formal ones.

Is there a scenario where it is less expensive to book two return trips, but only use one leg of the journey?
Someone who, for example, was flying to the USA to carry out work with no fixed end point, could it be cheaper to buy a return to the US from the UK, and another return form the US to the UK, rather than buying an open return ticket?

Kemi Badenoch accused of ‘bullying and traumatising’ staff
Exclusive: At least three department officials allegedly felt pushed out by MP’s behaviour as business secretarywww.theguardian.com
she's got the practice in, perfect choice for leader then![]()
Perhaps it’s not about stopping her but poisoning the well. A damaged leader from the off is better for Labour…Why would Labour not want the Tory leader to be the most divisive and angry one possible in the absence of Cruella? The time to leak that sort of thing would be after the leadership contest.
Possible the leaker was scared of ministerial retribution pre-election, though, and now feels safer.

Just looks like attention seeking sour grapes from Sewer-ellen.That pretext to defection isn’t going to happen by accident!

Politics latest news: Don't 'drive me' to join Reform, Braverman tells Tory MPs
Suella Braverman has said she hopes she is not “driven out” of the Conservative Party by Tory MPs, insisting she had no intention of defecting to Reform UK.www.telegraph.co.uk
Ah yes, the MP who managed to deliver food to his parents and travel across the country to his home in Herefordshire, not bothering with his constituency of Newark during Lockdown.Looks like Generic is frontrunner now, anyway. And as his last great wheeze was having cartoon characters whitewashed for fear they might comfort children, damage and poison seem baked in already.
