What’s that saying about honour amongst thieves?

Election in May 2024. Govt departments have been sent mail regarding this.
The one where, when questioned under oath, it was perfectly acceptable to say you can't remember anything about it, or to say that you lost all messages during that time (only to post one for the world to see a few days later).

Government lawyers are independent of the government, I wouldn't blame them for submitting a statement to court he'll have made a statement of truth on.

Could start to warm to her a little if she took down some of the other crooks and liars with her mind you.
Yes, seems you are correct.
But the fact remains he said he no longer had messages from that time period when he was being questioned over potentially dodgy PPE contracts. But has miraculously found them two years later to try an bury someone else.
No prosecution needed, he exposed himself as a liar. Monumentally stupid.

To be honest it doesn't matter as apparently statements to the COVID inquiry are made under oath in the same way that they are to the High Court. I'd say he should be done for perjury if the messages are from the same phone he claims to have lost.

Lord Bethell is likely to get called to the inquiry anyway as he was an important minister during the crisis so we will get tp see him try and explain this,
Yes agreed.
Yes of course, that is literally what I meant.

If any business or organisation had so many people accused of sexual misconduct it'd (rightly) be a national scandal, there'd be inquiries and investigations, and the organisation would be brought to its knees.
Yet the fucking government is full of them and it's just the norm these days.
Absolutely bonkers really.

If I was Mone or her old man and thinking of taking a few down I wouldn’t go out on the boat too often the edges are notoriously slippy and probably not wise to go for a walk in the park either.

I’ve completed my therapy - I was one of the 13.2% that signed the petition.
Is that the abv?

Ministry of Justice plan to destroy historical wills is ‘insane’, say experts

So, is the US moving towards a civil uprising? Trump out?
Huh? Trump is off the ballot in Colorado, but even if the Supreme Court don’t overturn the state’s decision (remember he appointed 3 of the 7 justices) then it likely won’t have any impact on either the Republican primary (which he will win anyway) or the general (where he was unlikely to win Colorado anyway).
Not the brightest are they ?!
ps some good news. Think I mentioned last week 10 year bond yields, which lenders use as one of the barometers for mortgages, already dropping loads recently (now around 3.5%), BoE also more likely to reduce rate sooner than expected if inflation stays on this trajectory. Mortgage/lending rates should drop a bit next near. Also usually good for shares etc….well until possible/likely recession hits

What price a Trump win and a surprise Tory majority in 2025. 20
I just fixed mine for two years so of course this happens.
You’re welcome everybody.

Sorry to hear that. Always the case isn’t it. To be fair, if inflation re-accelerates might still be a good move. Don’t see rates plummeting next year anyway, they should drop a bit though

We’re currently heading towards another Suez crisis with carriers avoiding the Red Sea due to attacks on shipping from Yemen. BP diverting tankers around Africa so it’s not a stretch to see fuel at the pump going up in the new year with the knock on effect going to affect everything else. We’re net importers and with other shipping lines doing the same there could well be a period of shortages and the extra cost of taking the long route being passed down to consumers. All a knock on effect from the Israel’s war in Gaza, rebels from Yemen are attacking international shipping in solidarity with Palestinians. Actually quite a good tactic in some respects, watch the international community pile the pressure on Israel now. Children dying in their thousands through indiscriminate bombing, knock yourselves out. Wait, what, it’s effecting us directly. You must stop now.

Why the fuck is this scheduled to run for 3 years minimum? What a pointless & pathetic waste of time & resource.....
Sweden had already completed their inquiry & implemented many actions on the back of it before the UK inquiry had even started.
This country is so shit at doing anything efficiently.

Yeah still got 18 months on mine at peak rate. tbh the gamble was two years and things get better - am a bit shafted if they get worse!
Always sensible to fix if you’re pushing the limits mate. I remember being stuck on 6% for a while for my first place, painful at the time but was affordable. swings and roundabouts over mortgage lifetime.
