May must tackle ‘corrupt’ Russian money in UK, say MPs
The robust rhetoric from the prime minister following the Salisbury attack has been undermined by the ‘business as usual’ sign hanging on the UK’s front door, Commons Foreign Affairs Committee says.

Bang go the Tory Party main fund providers!

However they wont give any ill gotten gains back!

Philip Hammond insists Tories will not pay back more than £800,000 in donations from Russian oligarchs
‘You need to be very careful who you are friends with,’ says Marina Litvinenko

The Tories have received more than £3m from Russian billionaires and lobbyists for Moscow since their return to government in 2010.
And one of the most controversial donors paid the party more in a year under Ms May than in six years under David Cameron, the paper reported.

Lubov Chernukhin, the wife of a former Putin minister, handed the party £253,950 in the year to September 2017, Electoral Commission figures show, and bid £30,000 to have dinner with Gavin Williamson, the Defence Secretary.

Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!

What is really unbelievable is how cheap they sell themselves.. 3M in 8 years is less than the income of a CEO of a small firm.... Or the turnover of a corner shop

 

[Danidl]

no worries, our PM has a money tree in No 10's garden.

.. well that explains everything! Who knew?

There aren't that many Actual members of the Tory Party to share the money between these days!
(And even less afflicted with sufficient intelligence to form a "Think Tank" from)

No EU membership = no Galileo if I understand correctly.

That was just a scare story. We will be part of Galileo and paying for it permanently, just don't tell the Brexiters.

Can't use the Royal Air Force to protect it in space though, unless they have an RAF (Airless Division) or RSF.
.

 

[Woosh]

what is RSF?
I thought after the RAF it should be RBF.

RSF = Royal Space Force (if they are to protect satellites)

But maybe your RBF is more in keeping with our defence budget:

Royal Balloon Force.

1. The DUP

TM is apparently looking for an extra-terrestrial solution to her brexit equations.

 

[oldtom]

I think it's always worth reminding ourselves exactly of the tactics being employed by this tory apology for a government. 'Brexit' or no 'Brexit', these multi-millionaires occupying the government front bench have emancipated themselves from all the norms of civilised democracy and decency, doing whatever they want, generally designed to widen the growing chasm between rich and poor.

Mark Steel, in this clip from a while back, explains:

This beastly woman, seen posing for the camera,




is viewed, apparently, as a rising star at the tory broadcasting corporation. It's worth reading up on her background but here, Craig Murray points out one or two things about her and the people surrounding her:

Is it a bailout when one repays with interest? .

Smacked mouth is a bit tame of her. Knocked his block off might have been a bit better.

Absolutely!

try not to stall on the repayments either https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ireland-will-not-pay-uk-loans-back-early-td3gtjfkz

and please get a move on, the next tranche for the DUP is due soon,

In the Express
"
M20 could be turned into a giant LORRY PARK amid Brexit border CHAOS
PLANS to allow lorries to park on one lane of the M20 have been drawn up by the Government, so it can ensure traffic can keep flowing even if Brexit causes “serious disruption to cross-Channel transport”."

It won't be needed for long ,as no modern business can survive with the supply chain disrupted in this fashion.

This news will be the last nail in the coffin of a large proportion of the 50% of British based foreign owned business who operate a JIT supply system.

Strategically speaking revealing this publicly is a grave error!
Alas the Government is too stupid to see that!

Brexit is becoming downright dangerous to our future.

That has suddenly become clearer and perhaps some of the 'Bexidiots' will pull their heads out of the sand and get real about what is about to befall the UK quite soon.

get real about what is about to befall the UK quite soon.

there is an article in today's the Guardian about the tories. Until they work out what their party really stands for, Margaret Thatcher's or John Major's convervatism, then their petty squabbles will continue while TM is the only possible choice for leader.

Last night, BBC Wales had a program of audience responding to questions about whether they had changed their minds. By far the majority had not.

My, probably highly partisan, assessment of what I saw and heard, was that the remain camp were seeing their arguments getting bolstered by what is happening and and proposed, while the exit camp were still going for the "get on with it", "how difficult can it be?" views.
