Noses In The Trough
The Labour leader asked the Prime Minister how he could justify the £40,000 pay rise for his former aide while public sector workers receive a pay freeze.
Question: How can PM justify Cummings' £40,000 pay rise?
Answer: He doesn't have to. The PM can do exactly whatever the hell he likes in the certain knowledge that everyone is going to vote Tory at the next election anyway.
Everyone knew that Boris Johnson was a lying, two-faced sack of shit and was only interested in furthering his own ambitions at the cost of anything at all, yet people put him in power with a huge majority. As long as you can rely on the stupidity of the electorate, anything is possible.
During the Thatcher years, sleaze was king. Government ministers routinely lined their own pockets at the expense of the voting public and it didn't matter. Labour had put Michael Foot in charge of their party which made it toxic as far as voters were concerned. This meant that in the 1983 election, Margaret Thatcher, earlier voted the most unpopular Prime Minister of all time, was returned with a huge majority. Various hangers-on, knowing they were gong to be returned to power over and over again no matter what they did, treated the whole thing as party time.
It's going to take Starmer years to rid Labour of the hugely damaging Corbyn effect, if he manages at all. In the mean time it's "noses in the trough".
Thank you for your return, I am one of the checker ups awaiting your return, bread and born in Erith now living in Australia I rely on your insights as to what the sacks of shits are really up to. Arthur is good for news but for real insight it has to be The Grump.
