  1. It’s not that he was lobbied or took flights from a private company when the ministerial code said he shouldn’t, it’s more that he tried to cover it up and not declare it

  2. Damn, if we (ordinary people) knew for every meeting and subject discussed that politicians make behind closed door, we’d be carrying them out on street with such joy, we’d not need gas for warmth.

  3. It’s easily done. I’m always having meetings with Saudi oil executives and completely forgetting to mention it when reporting on what I’ve just done.

  4. Right, cause up until now his decisions were clearly just “In the interest of the country”, especially yesterday’s Renewable windfall tax….

  5. i reckon it’s time we all have a secret meeting and decide how to get these cunts out of office once and for all

  6. It’s like the last set of comic book villains weren’t villainous enough, so they decided to bring in Truss and this guy.

  7. Why are we surprised when they are the party of big business. Let’s face it most of the people being financially squeezed won’t be voting conservative if they do at all.

  8. Like, at what point is this stuff breaking laws? How could there be absolutely nothing that we can do about this?

  9. The politician from Ghosts seems to be based on him, even though it predates the guy. ‘I’m sorry daaaaarling, I’d love to see you this Christmas but I’m spending it with Gadafi, I knooooooooow…’

  10. What’s the name of the rather secretive group that Kwarteng is a member of? It has a French name and I think it was started by opus dei. Jonathan Aitkenn was chair at some point.

    Edit – never mind. Found it. Le Cercle
    “Le Cercle is a secretive, invitation-only foreign policy forum. Its focus has been opposing communism and, in the 1970s and 1980s, supporting apartheid when the group had intimate ties with and funding from South Africa. The group was described by Alan Clark as “an atlanticist society of right-wing dignitaries”.

  11. And I thought you Brits **really** fucked up with the whole Brexit fiasco. But no, with Truss and Kwarteng (after Boris!) you really proved that you always can one-up yourself.

    Good job!

  12. The same Kwasi Kwarteng who’s about to announce a windfall tax on renewable energy companies, but point blank refuses to apply one to oil and gas firms “in case it reduces investment in the UK”, that Kwasi Kwarteng?

  13. The Tories’ neoliberalism is literally theft. They’re either stealing parts of the government and selling them to their pals, or they’re gifting lucrative contracts to their pals at inflated prices.

    There are very few actual Tory politicians left, most of them are neoliberal stooges installed by billionaire media to help create more oligarchs.
