This is from the Guardian today, so I realise that it will have the whiff of brimstone and sulphur to some here on AB. But here goes anyway :::

Nick Boles, a Tory MP has committed the political equivalence of farting in Chapel, by suggesting that the only Tory that does have a wider popular appeal is Boris ! Can't see Mr Boles being invited to Number 10's Xmas drinks party now, can you ?

Is that one of those things that Borat wore ?

My God...I think that enduring another 5 years of Dave and thumper might be preferable to Boris in a Mankini !

Labour the party for the working man???????????

That's hilarious.

I do hope he wears neither a monokini or a kilt if he goes in again for hanging off ropes.

Official Labour Councils cut more jobs and services than Tory councils do, Newcastle is one such example, some even put an end to the Tory's Council Tax freeze.

That's a bit disingenuous AOG

Councils do not raise enough money from council taxes to fund services - the balance is funded from central Government

This Allows Westminster to Cut their funding and force them to cut services - while pointing to them and saying as you just have 'look at all these Labour councils cutting services'

[dave50]

Local authorities always cut funding in highly emotive areas such as care homes or the disabled purely for political reasons so that they can blame the 'heartless savage cuts'. They always seem to have enough money for pet political agendas such as diversity or climate change. I never believe a word they say when they cry the poor tale.
