This is what I got when my supplier collapsed though

Well, this sounds poo poo.

I was following the Martin Lewis guide to just fall onto the price cap because it's better than any fixed deal you'd get.

We're currently with Octopus though so that's means no price cap according to that?

I think you'll find that while the BBC got a lot of complaints for spreading bigoted nonsense, they also got a lot of emails praising them for finally sticking it to those evil transes. As we all know the way you tell if you've done a bigotry is to put the emails you get on each side of a scale and see which pile is heavier

They'd never have done this if there was a functioning opposition dominating the media narrative and keeping them off-balance. They know they'll only receive the most tepid, ineffective pushback from Labour, so why not do it? If Labour was capable of making the Tories bleed, the sharks of the media would have been all over them, just shows how useless they are right now.

So you are saying it is Jeremy Corbyn's fault

Even the Daily Mail is calling the tories the party of sleaze today.

Why did they do this? It makes no sense, even if there was a by election the tories would win it at a canter.

because all the entirely legal methods for them to doom the nation via grift are boring, already being done and require paperwork while at the same time the concept of getting a slap on the wrist from a committee of fellow scum is also too much for them to bear

besides, someone might point out on twitter that they are a loving thief, the horror, the horror, the horror

It looks like Labour 'lost' everyone's personal info:

quote:

What happened?

On 29 October 2021, we were informed of the cyber incident by the third party. The third party told us that the incident had resulted in a significant quantity of Party data being rendered inaccessible on their systems. As soon as the Party was notified of these matters, we engaged third-party experts and the incident was immediately reported to the relevant authorities, including the National Crime Agency (NCA), National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The Party continues to work closely with each of these authorities. The Party is also working closely and on an urgent basis with the third party in order to understand the full nature, circumstances and impact of the incident. The Party’s own data systems were unaffected by this incident.

What information was involved?

We understand that the data includes information provided to the Party by its members, registered and affiliated supporters, and other individuals who have provided their information to the Party. The full scope and impact of the incident is being urgently investigated.

Paterson isn't clear yet. He's being referred to the new committee setup to handle these sorts of things. A committee run by his mates.

I'm surprised "Labour party loses touch with its members" is such big news.

Given the backlash, I wouldn't be surprised if the new committee does throw Paterson to the wolves. Then the Tories can chastise the press for assuming the worst of them, before going on to do it.

The thing that gets lost in all this is that the BBC got in contact with the trans porn star that Lily Cade mentioned for the article and she brought up Lily's reputation and the accusations and the BBC just ignored it.

It's so brazenly transphobic and since the only people who will argue back are people they don't consider human they're going to keep doubling down.

It's clear now that they were trying to get Katheryne Stone, the leader of the Standards committee, to resign before she will investigate Johnson's dodgy donations for his flat refurbishment. As per Kwasi Kwarteng:

quote:

Asked whether Stone should resign, Kwarteng told Sky News:

I think it’s difficult to see what the future of the commissioner is, given the fact that we’re reviewing the process, and we’re overturning and trying to reform this whole process, but it’s up to the commissioner to decide her position.
