Seven bonkers things Tory politicians have said about working from home
As a Tory minister suggests struggling Brits could work more hours or get a better paid job, the Mirror's @danbloom1 explains how the Government is actually planning to tackle the cost of living crisis
@PippaCrerar Does this guy have no judgement, or not employ half-decent advisers who do? What the Bank governor is saying may be right, but someone on his pay - £495,000 a year - is hardly going to persuade any workers to restrain their pay claims, unless Bailey himself takes a huge pay cut
If Bailey’s comms skills weren’t bad enough if you read his actual submission to the Treasury Select Committee you will discover he is clueless about how energy curves work too. ?
Sitting in the modest corner drawing room of the sprawling Sheikhpura House on Bailey Road in the heart of #Patna , poll strategist #PrashantKishor discussed his upcoming political journey in the State.
“We would love not to have another shock please” says Governor Bailey after Angela Eagle raises prospect of UK-EU trade war if Protocol reneged upon…
Andrew Bailey quote is: "And so if I had to sort of, sorry for being apocalyptic for a moment, but that is a major concern" Only an Englishman would apologise for being apocalyptic..

Perhaps you thought the Conservative party took partygate seriously. Last night a champagne bottle signed by @BorisJohnson was donated to a charity event in Hertfordshire by local MP and Tory party chairman @OliverDowden . Read the description.
A firm linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone was awarded more than £200 million in Covid contracts via the ‘VIP’ fast lane. We’ve asked Tory Ministers what checks were made before Medpro was handed public contracts. They haven’t answered.
James O'Brien takes a look at Tory leadership hopeful Dominic Raab's interviews and pulls them apart one-by-one.
Well well well… The original source of the vile Sharon Stone smear? 7 January. 🧾 Before all the memes, before any podcast, and before Tory MPs’ dishonestly claimed conversations. And where, might you ask, did it first appear? The Daily Mail of course. #BasicSmears
Never mind the legalities of someone buying £46m of (unfit for purpose) PPE from China then selling it to the NHS for £122m - the morality of doing it when the world was on its knees is reprehensible. Add in that it was done by a Tory peer and we are in uncharted waters of sleaze
The week in Tory MPs so far: one convicted of molesting a minor, another having to apologise for defending said paedophile, PM and chancellor convicted of breaking the COVID laws they wrote. And it’s only Fucking Tuesday.
Yvette Cooper: “Today, Tory MPs voted to make it a criminal offence for Ukrainian families to arrive in the UK without the right papers with a penalty of up to 4 years in prison...when British people have made clear we need to help Ukrainian refugees, this is deeply shameful."
Rishi Sunak found £4,000,000,000 in tax cuts for wealthy bankers, but refused the £20-a-week Universal Credit uplift to struggling working class families. That tells you about the priorities of this super-rich Tory Chancellor.
