Political questions about the peerage of Michelle Mone.
PM David Cameron didn't follow proper protocols for her peerage, made her govt adviser.
The same David Cameron appointed Philip Green (BHS fame) as the Govt's efficiency Tsar, bugled the Brexit referendum.
Mone benefitted from Tory VIP lane.

I feel sorry for Jim Mackey in a way - he's waited a long time for that job, and when he gets it he's like the Fred Dibnah of NHS England.
Still, he won't be short of a few bob.

Mainly emboldening racists to be openly aggressive and abusive to anyone not joining in with their charade, and more racist attacks. More Government rhetoric about people on boats.

Why the reshuffle alone wonโt change the governmentโs fortunes
"For better electoral fortunes, the government needs to junk neoliberal policies, never-ending austerity; directly invest in infrastructure and redistribute income and wealth."
UK Govt must change course.
Increase purchasing power of the bottom 50%.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. WRONG
At the very least abolish VAT on domestic fuel, reduce std rate of VAT, lift personal allowance by ยฃ1,000.
Shift the cost to the rich.

He hung out with child rapists - that's a bit of a flaw.

Thoughts and prayers to the flag shaggers on the eve of Trump's visit, having to stop chanting - 'deport foreign paedos' for a few days.
And the gift that was Mandelson, ruined because his disgrace is that he was friends with Trump's procurer in chief.

Nigel Farage urges US to oppose UK on free speech laws
The Reform UK leader gives evidence to US lawmakers but gets a rough reception from some Democrats.
Taking back control ... Ughh
Farage asks US govt to determine UK laws
Compares UK to North Korea.
Will happily take money from Elon Musk and other foreigners.
Farage brand of patriotism is wearing union jack socks and demonizing immigrants. No policies for redistribution, social justice.

Starmer and Cooper going on TV to claim they have a flag up in every room, in their front garden and on their sheds, without calling out racist abuse, is absolutely shameful - but also completely hopeless.

All this with the flags being about 'showing pride in our country' is absolute bollocks.
It's about gangs of inadequate blokes gathering in numbers to provoke, intimidate, and assault vulnerable people.
It's also about indoctrinating kids, normalising racist abuse and bullying.

Gender pension gap equates to ยฃ7,600 a year, say union leaders
Income inequality is found to be 36.5% โ meaning women in effect stop receiving a pension on 21 August
Gender pension gap equates to ยฃ7,600 a year, say union leaders.
Despite equality laws women continue to lose.
Women punished for child bearing and caring responsibilities.
Lower pension results in greater insecurity and anxiety.
