Oakeshott is now probably the most powerful Tory there is at the moment, as she has the entire Covid MyCrimes.txt and has shown she's not afraid to use it.

It's never a good thing to have someone like her in charge of blackmail material. Just look at Raab.

I take it only a tiny percentage of messages have been leaked?


e: Re the post above this, my old MP in Plymouth, Oliver Colvile, boasted to my face that he went to Stowe, one of the best schools money could buy, and only walked away with a single O level. He then boasted that he was terrible in every job he ever did before landing his cushy political publication job. His qualifications to be our MP was that he came from an old school Tory line of politicians, aristocrats, plantation owners and naval captains.

I think she now counts as Reform Party aligned rather than a Tory (Her partner is the Reform Party Leader).

Holy poo poo, I didn't realise this. I assumed she was just a proto Kuenssberg clone that swung a bit more to the right.

New Labour invented the Work Capability Assessments and hired ATOS. They drew up the blueprints that eventually became Universal Credit.

I don't think any of us are going to see a better future until our antiquated FPTP system is replaced with an actual representative democracy, an elected upper house and an elected head of state. We don't even have an independent Electoral Commission anymore.

Under the current system, there's no way that a genuine social democratic party can take hold. We don't have any free press in the UK anymore, so any genuine alternative will be Corbynised by the media's lasers. If that doesn't work, the establishment also control the police, intelligence services and can implement all sorts of emergency powers to stifle any real threat.

We also now have a generation of people who are of voting age who have been groomed to be fascists and who have known nothing but austerity. There's also no collective understanding of politics anymore, with many people unable to differentiate between local and central government, or what is actually left and right wing. It's all media fed popularity contests that many people see no differently to any other reality TV programme.

Short of some kind of revolution, I can't see any of this changing for the better. The table is entirely rigged....

I was pretty young when the alternative vote referendum happened, but I'm still pretty confused as to why so many were against it.

Many on the left were whipped up by viral media stuff that voting for AV would mean that we'd never get actual proportional representation. There was a hell of a lot of manipulation on all sides [See: Brexit referendum]

From the Wikipedia page, NoToAV had some interesting bedfellows.

quote:

Conservative Party[3]

Many Labour Party members. Although party leader Ed Miliband supported a 'Yes' vote, over 200 Labour MPs and Peers supported the 'No' campaign.[4][5] Among the prominent Labour Party members against AV were Margaret Beckett (acting as President of the NOtoAV campaign),[6] Caroline Flint, David Blunkett, Lord Reid of Cardowan, John Prescott and Lord Falconer of Thoroton[6]
Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)[7]

Others
Ulster Unionist Party[7]
British National Party[8]
Respect Party[8]
Traditional Unionist Voice[7]
Communist Party of Britain[4]

Another important point was that the 'yes' campaign was very much spearheaded by the LDs, and the vote was 2011, a year into the coalition that nobody wanted or voted for. People didn't trust anything the LDs did, said or promoted after that.

The ponies – whose field costs £120 a month to rent – are eating far more hay over a freezing winter. “We’ve been stabling them at night as well, which requires more hay and bedding,” she says.

Rising food prices have required some compromises too. The pets consume £90 worth of food a month, Saunders estimates, and the family have ditched their Waitrose habit. “That’s been vetoed by Charlie. Now we go to Morrisons instead, as it’s far closer,” she says.

Very useful for them to have a scapegoat.

It's loving hilarious. They are going to try and make him the fall guy, but they've all been just as complicit. They all know there are WhatsApp messages of their own that will sink their own careers and possibly put them in jail, that are now in the hands of Tice and the Telegraph.

The dirtier all this gets, the harder the punches and distraction targets, and it'll be glorious watching them all eat each other :)
