  1. Ya think…. now let an investigation happen into all your dealing or resign from politics

  2. Lol at the comments not understanding the tories.

    They arent playing the same game guys. The entire point of being a tory is to schmooze enough to score yourself a safe “consultant” gig after your term in politics.

    View their approach through that lens and it all makes sense.

    Meeting bankers is a perfect way to find out who’s palms to grease to get you there.

    If youre ever pointing out hypocrisy or lying in the tory party, youre missing the point.

    You’re too busy saying Sauron lied because he said he’d make 10 rings for the kings of men and only made 9.

  3. “i thought I’d get away with it due to the track record of my party getting away with all the repugnant shit they’ve done up to this point.”

  4. Rule 1 for Tories: Never, ever, get caught saying the behind the scenes true narrative of what you’re up to in public. It’ll dent your precious projected image of creating prosperity, levelling up or speaking for the little man, or whatever drivel you’re pedalling to the gullible.

  5. Oh really you cunt? What made you think that, was it the millions of people who are going ro starve come December? You treasonous, hedge-funded, greedy CUNT.

  6. Imagine hosting an alcohol anonymous meeting in a room where the heating is turned up to full so the room is like, hot as fuck. You provide refreshments, but they’re all alcoholic and you won’t let anyone else drink anything except your alcoholic drinks.

    Then afterwards when the entire population of your meeting have started drinking again and relapsed, you can exclaim “mAyBe tHis wAsn’T tHE bEsT iDeA” and everyone else is like, “OBVIOUSLY, YOU THICK CUNT.” Anyway, your best mates made millions so who cares, right?

  7. Corruption, he knows he will never see the doors of power again so why not max it while he’s at it. Don’t think any politician has ever been imprisoned for mishandling of public money.

  8. It’s stinks of insider trading…. I bet the bankers and hedge funds terrorists also made a killing with the reversal this morning also . We need an investigation

  9. The barrel scrapings are getting worse each time.

    It’s utterly horrifying that every single game of musical chairs leaves us with *worse* leadership…..

  10. Yeah, such a coincidence that the date for this reception was *right after* the mini budget due to the Queen dying. I mean, what are the chances of THAT!

    “Guys, guys! Ok I’ve just stolen, err wait I mean SECURED, many thousands of pounds from everyone earning under a paltry £150k to give to all you harder working people, yay me! BUT, they’re going to find out any minute now, so we best crack open the champagne and smoke those cigars pronto! Hic..BUUURP! Must dash, The BBC want to interview me about it in the morning! I’ll just say I regret it…I mean, I *don’t,* but there’s a chance they’ll buy it!”

  11. He said it wasn’t a good idea to the press & cameras, but really it was, he had a night out that cost him fuck all. Probably got some promised backhander too, for when he leaves office.

  12. Neither was getting off your tits on gear before going to the queen’s funeral but that didn’t stop Kwasi did it?

  13. I get the feeling Kwasi is like that Guy Goma, he’s been mistaken for Chancellor and now he’s in too deep so has to wing it in front of the entire nation.

  14. I wish we would stop calling these people intelligent. They are not at all, all they have been taught is how to lie convincingly. They love to be called elite even though elite means the best of the best. They are not the best they are elitists there is a difference. There is nothing elite about these people. They have no real skills, no real business sense, no empathy, no shame and no charisma. They feel entitled because they were born into entitled families that “just have” and don’t know any better.

  15. Two bad ideas in the same week. Perhaps Mr. Kwarteng would be better suited to a less demanding role.

  16. Bollocks. Getting caught in the act ‘wasn’t best idea’; hence, contrition wasn’t forthcoming immediately. His PR team will have recommended a ‘mea culpa’ as the best form of damage control, next to putting the cat back in the bag. Mission accomplished, save for a little oopsie.

  17. Lots of professional political analysts say both Kwasi n Truss will go. They have messed up so badly never has the Tories been so far behind Labour.

  18. Jesus Christ, these people are so fucking ridiculous. They’ve barely been in their positions and they’re already voluntarily involving themselves in bad press. How stupid do you need to be?!

    This does however really show them up for any non-believers of where their true loyalties lay. Roll on GE.
