That is the problem - there are no obvious candidates to do the job on either side of the house.
Similar to America where the best they can come up with is Biden and Trump - and their population is nearly five times ours!
It is a real worry for the UK - Sturgeon up north is a complete idiot who is corrupt herself, Drakeford in Wales - jeez he is and sounds so wet!
Ireland - just realised that I don't know who is in charge they have made such an impression on me.
Look around the world - Macron who makes me want to vomit and Merkel - albeit she has gone now - the list of useless tw***s goes on.
The politics don't matter to me so much as the Leader which is why the thought of Starmer in charge doesn't bear thinking about - how on earth could he run the country based on hindsight which is what he would have to do because he hasn't got foresight!
As for slimey Blair and his comments - he can do one!
All very scary to be honest.

Tory infighting grows as rebels ‘consider releasing blackmail recording’
Rory Sullivan
Fri, 21 January 2022, 9:25 am
The Conservatives are gripped by infighting over Boris Johnson’s future, with rebel MPs said to possess a secret recording and texts that back up claims of “blackmail” made against allies of Boris Johnson.

The audio clip involves a “heated conversation” with the party’s chief whip, according to The Times.

DO IT !

That was before their very existence was under threat.

if blackmail in government Office is suggested, and there is potential evidence, I want the police involved. This is potential corruption at the highest level.

"threats to reduce or remove funding to constituencies, who's MP doesn't toe the Tory Whip line"

The same police who are investigating the lapses in Covid rules and supposedly knew nothing about them or the police who operate inside and outside 10 Downing Street? Methinks there's something entirely rotten and it's not in the State of Denmark!

But is it blackmail? I would imagine the whips will argue it is explaining reality to the malcontents. "If you are not loyal don't expect the party to support you in return?"

It is threatening (it would seem) to withhold public money.
And yes, be investigated by the police who have all the CCTV and signing in/out books for visitors to Government buildings and turned a blind eye to people entering buildings with suitcases full of wine bottles.

From one Tory MP:

Blackmail is not just about money for constituencies, it’s tittle tattle, personal things, affairs or who’s been to a lockdown party. At the far end it’s corruption and misconduct in a public office – on the other it’s a breach of the ministerial code. Either way it’s a resignation issue.

“The culture comes from the top – it’s learned, bullying behaviour. Unless you stand up to bullies, they carry on.”

And it would take a lot for a solitary MP to stand up to them.

There's a coalition in Ireland, of the two parties who are the traditionally biggest rivals, plus the Greens. And yes, they're useless and corrupt. They swap between being Taoiseach (Prime Minister) on a sharing deal. FF Micheal Martin and FG Leo Varadkar, along with sleepy dishevelled Green, Eamon Ryan. Sinn Fein presumably next. Leo Varadkar is probably the only one you will know. He has the biggest PR machine.

Threatening an MP over party matters, even deselection, isn't illegal. A party though doesn't spend public money so threatening an MP over funding for their constituency seems likely to be illegal.

 


For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Here we go:-

'PM facing call to ensure all evidence is published in NO. 10 parties inquiry'

Sue Gray's report may just 'summarise findings'.
