They are just vile, aren’t they? A disgusting chumocracy with their nose in the trough
Having this sort of people leading our country has brought us to the degraded state we’re in today
No morals, no sense of right and wrong, pure self-interest and total contempt for the laws of our country or our people. No shame, no fear of punishment
We are looking at pure evil. From them and those who continue to support and defend them out of more self-interest
That’s why it’s not a trivial issue and it so important to expose it and see justice done
Tolerating this behaviour from those who want to run our country has led to moral decline and decadence based on self-interest, which is destroying the soul of our country and robbing us of hope
Sort this out, chuck them out, draw a line, stand up for the difference between right and wrong and our other problems will be sorted too. Or at the very least those problems can be addressed from a position of decency
The Metropolitan Police is reopening an investigation into breaches of Covid regulations at a Christmas party at Conservative Party HQ but police say they will not investigate alleged gatherings at the prime minister’s country home, Chequers, when Boris Johnson was PM.
A plan was established in 2017 which aimed to manage the size of the House of Lords, which has now reached 824. It was suggested six years ago that the Lords adopt a one-in, two-out system - for every two people left, only one is appointed.
While Theresa May “responded positively” to this, and “progress” was made up to 2019 in reducing the ermined headcount, the committee singles out Mr Johnson for criticism.
“Prime Minister Boris Johnson showed no interest in the issue of the size of the House,” the report said. “While the number of departures from the House continued to be broadly in line with our benchmarks, the number of appointments far exceeded them and they were granted predominantly to members of his own party.”
The report also noted that the House of Lords Appointments Commission rejected more than half of Mr Johnson’s initial nominees, and raised concerns about the party balance in the Lords and the potential for Labour to appoint swathes of peers should they win the next election.
Among BJ’s appointees to the lords were Evgeny Lebedev, son of ex-KGB agent Alexander and his brother Jo.
The House of Lords Appointments Commission rejected more than half of Mr Johnson’s initial nominees including, of course, Nadine Dorries and BJ’s father, Stanley.
BJ, as usual, taking the proverbial out of the system …
A political journalist-turned-spin doctor who has barely settled into his 30s took his seat in the U.K.’s unelected House of Lords on Thursday as part of Boris Johnson’s controversial farewell honors.
Ross Kempsell, 31, who serves as the former prime minister’s spokesperson, is now Baron Kempsell of Letchworth.
He took his place in the Lords Thursday, where he’ll be guaranteed a seat for life as a Conservative peer to scrutinize government legislation, and will be entitled to claim a £332 per day attendance allowance.
Other Johnson allies joining the Lords this week include the U.K.’s youngest-ever life peer, Charlotte Owens. The 30-year-old former special adviser becomes Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge. Kulveer Ranger, a 48-year-old management consultant and former Tory candidate who worked with Johnson when he was mayor of London, becomes Baron Ranger of Northwood.
