Every other day, they drip feed us with another revelation. It’s all been calculated if you ask me. They sold Boris to us and now the same media are putting the final nail in the coffin. Problem with Boris was leadership, he never had it. Nor did he have the backbone to fire many of his staff.. probably because they had so much dirt on him.

    I don’t know the answer to this, but i’d like some sovereignty shown by her majesty to come out and say to this Tory part enough is enough.. you’re all fired and they have to immediately leave for an interim coalition party to form. This would teach any new party to think twice when they break certain rules. Will it happen, will it flu ck. The saying goes and dubbag has stated.. it’s corruption. If we really could make a difference to elect a leader, they wouldn’t let us vote. I think that was the saying.

    Her majesty won’t dare say anything Regis as too many skeletons in their cupboard too and it seems pretty obvious Andrew is guilty.

    As for the Dick woman she will remember that Boris saved her a rse when many were demanding she quit with the horror of the Sarah Everard case.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Boris gets away with it and the Gray woman gets a top job!

    If this happens - the backstabbers and Sunak will be history!

    You can’t make it up! Bit like Dallas!

    Do you mean we're all going to wake up in the shower and find that all this has just been some horrible dream? 😃

    This is no longer unique to UK politics. World politics is very corrupt. Big business runs the world not elected governments. They just implement business law..... Corruption still at the heart of it all......

    Aside from the obvious old adage that "power corrupts" whilst western democracies are certainly preferable to either facist or communist dictatorships, their core downfall is that it takes time and money to become a politician and this then eliminates the vast majority of "ordinary" people from ever entering the sector. As a rule you either have to be independently wealthy or else sponsored (e.g. By unions). It is also virtually impossible to get elected as an independent so candidates end up having to compromise and nail their flag to the mast of the political party whose policies they agree with most. The bigger the nation (e.g. USA) the harder it becomes, not only because of having to appeal to an increased diversity amongst voters but also the sheer size means that running a campaign is so costly that any candidate will need enormous funds to run one -and the donors will always want something in return! Don't personally believe in a United cabal of business men ( the so called "men behind the curtain") who pull all the strings of their puppet presidents/prime ministers but it would be exceptionally naive for anyone to think that a few very wealthy business men/companies do not have influences on government's and their policies. I am sure that there remain very many MPs -on all sides -who genuinely do what they feel is in the interests of their constituents and the country and follow their conscience -sadly, however, the upper echelons seem to have lost most of any moral compass they once had.

    Now flu jabs rammed down kids throats! Up until 2 years ago it was mainly only the elderly that were getting flu jabs! Talk about following the herd…
    Kids get the flu vaccine rammed down their throats? When did this happen? Sounds rough, I thought they had it sprayed up the nose. Every day's a skooool day on here 😊 .

    It's never been unique to UK politics. Ever.
