"His lawyers said the fact that his donation was to a party led by Britain’s first Hindu prime minister, a politician of Indian heritage, was further evidence of him embracing diversity"
It's like the legal version of "I can't be a racist, my mate's black"
The Tories will be loving this - Comments on the radio can be broadly be categorised as "they're all as bad as each other", "no wonder turn outs are so low" etc etc etc. That said, this is pathetic, nobody is coming out of this well.
There are many expressions that we may use to describe the mood of the Labour party after last nights huge swing toward them. I doubt that 'extremely worried' is among the first that many people would reach for.
This article has probably been often quoted but I'll do it again:- https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/aug/08/public-schoolboys-boris-johnson-sad-little-boys-richard-beard
Sunak will believe that he is right, and we are wrong (or rather, irrelevant), he is conditioned to do so. Like his...
"Since Orpington in 1963/4, We've got used to By-Election results being erratic" You're getting humped in every one you chump, they're not in the slightest bit erratic!

Michelle Mone admits that she 'stands to benefit' from the PPE £60m. Even her admission of lying is deceitful ffs.
It was quite remarkable - He's not going to 'speculate' on whether or not HS2 to Manchester will happen - It's not speculation if it's your decision you thick tw@t.
He also mentioned the 'uprising' in Wales over the default 20mph limit like it was the civil rights movement in 1960s US rather...
I can't quite get my head round it! Are we accelerating our race to have a 3rd world infrastructure? Just days after network rail announced that due to rising cost, reliability eat going to 'get worse'.
The DfT response includes this gem - 'it is unfair to continue asking taxpayers to foot the...
Hmm, I realise that there may instinctively be a hypocrisy but I entirely support safeguards for renters, controls on rent rises etc etc. Or is there something more specific?
That's quite the pompous and preposterous statement. Governments across the whole world run on party politics that may not be the 'right' thing but it's a fact. In our own parliament, what's the alternative? 650 independents all with their own priorities and agendas?!?
For what it's worth, I'm...
I can't understate how much I loathe the tories and those who knowingly vote for them - 12 years of persecuting the least well off (we're all in in together) following a financial crisis caused by out of control bankers and this is their answer. Tossers. Oh, and then announce a 'new' fighter jet...
The problem is that this goes to the very essence of people's politics in how we measure success. For me, a more equal society where we support those most in need is probably the most obvious barometer of success, if I am slightly worse off as a result then so be it. Success for yourself...
