Yeah the Tory party is a horrible warring coalition of the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie supported by the petit bourgeois and the nationalist working class who think they're getting representation by them. Honest reporting on their policies, backgrounds, attitudes would immediately destroy them as an electoral force so their electoral existence relies entirely on controlling the press.

If the newspapers die and whatever replacement is just a bit more adequate in reporting reality then Democracy will no longer be a core British Value.

democracy is not a core value in the united kingdom

With how badly our testing apparatus was put together and our population compared to other countries it's just incredible that we've recorded so high a number of cases. It's a hell of a legacy for the Tories and I drat well hope it sticks, it just might as well given the defence of Cummings is tying them in knots and there's enough fury floating around to make them a target.

Christ, may be Starmer being poo poo has actually done some good because nobody can be arsed to listen to or blame him for anything.

His wife caught the roni and he broke every guideline and precaution to personally drop their kid off at his parents' home a couple hundred miles away.

The current issue is that he was obviously justified in doing so because the people who make the rules are exempt from having to follow them, but the Tories are twisting themselves into pretzels to argue that he did no wrong without having to acknowledge this.

Mostly by bitching at people who dare speak at their betters for "politicizing a family crisis".

:h:


He went to his parent's to stay in a section of their property so they could help with looking after the kid. They then changed the story to say the sister was going to look after the kid. Turns out the sister only dropped groceries off at the front door. So they didn't need help with the kid. So there was no point in going. But they were spotted sightseeing whilst up there. And he was back and forth between Durham and London at least twice. And it was his mother's birthday during that time. And his wife's. Who apparently has financial interest in one of the places they visited.

Oh and the wife wrote a fairly detailed story for a newspaper about their experience of lockdown and suffering with covid in their London home.

It's a multi-layered story with more twists and turns than a loving murder mystery
