f*** knows why he’s Lord Sexpest of Tredegar. Seemingly has no Welsh connection at all, bet he’s never set foot in the Gwent valleys

Went there once to play a five-a-side tournament organised by some lad from our school.  We seriously battered every team they had but went away feeling like they had the upper hand because as we’re leaving we halt at a door and see that in the next gym they had this woman in a leotard who bounced on a trampoline, seemingly forever.  Can still see her now.

Clearly they had the upper hand but played it terribly. That sort of distraction was needed before the 5-a-side so they’d have won

openDemocracy recently revealed that John Hayes has received at least £150,000 over three years from an oil and gas firm. The former energy minister has compared climate activists to ‘Radical Islam’.

While everyone is kicking off about Yorkshire cricket…

 

 

Critics believe the real reason is because the statistics show that the use of stop and search that disproportionately affects black communities has widened – findings that would provoke fresh scrutiny on the policing bill, which seeks to expand the use of the contentious measure at a time when trust in policing is under scrutiny. Black people are already nine times more likely to be stopped and searched by police than white people, official figures for England and Wales show.

Bryant's the absolute worst of Welsh Labour. Opportunist who used to be a Young Conservative whilst at Oxford and now sits in a "red rose on a donkey" seat in the Rhondda where he does f*** all other than the odd bit of grandstanding.

That phrased "priced in" is doing my f***ing head in. It seems to be one of the latest political fashionable phrases and its s***

Weren't Mishcon one of the firms knee deep in the Panama Papers stuff?

He's 100% a plant, he can't be anything else. Absolute prick.

Starmer, a barrister and former director of public prosecutions, was paid almost £26,000 for work carried out while he was an MP but before he became Labour leader in 2020.

He does not currently do legal work, as he gave up his certificate to practise when the party said in 2019 it would ban second jobs unless there were specific exemptions.
 

Good lad, get in there.

Wonder how many half savvy criminals got off when he was the counsel for the prosecution? He's an absolute berk.

That's basically the government's argument for maintaining place like the British Virgin Islands as tax-avoidance-havens isn't it?

"Well they're wrong, naturally, but if we were to shut them down the bloody foreigners will do it even worse. This might be morally repugnant, but it's good sturdy British moral repugnance"

Better hope you can drive to hospital if you have a heart attack/stroke. 50 minute average wait time for an ambulance.

I'm trying to get my head around how that happened. Thought you needed to have had employees on PAYE as at Feb 2020 for them to be eligible for furlough?
