ah - here it is - .. Yesterday UK finance minister: Thames Water must sort out its own issues "I make no comment on Thames because they need to sort out their own issues," Hunt told reporters during a visit to Washington when asked what a government-led administration process for Thames Water could do for investors' confidence in Britain. "What we're never going to do for people who invest in the UK, is say that the state is going to insure you against bad decisions made by management or shareholders. That's what markets are about." reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM So was the chancellor not informed of this massive encompassing plan .. or was he lying/misleading Today: Thames Water nationalisation plan could move bulk of £15bn debt to state Thames Water nationalisation plan could move bulk of £15bn debt to state | Thames Water | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Exclusive: Under Whitehall blueprint for water company some lenders could lose up to 40% of their money

Torys seem to think its worth while - cheap muckspreading while they get away with ACTUALLY doing it? More the aspect of ensuring that when these tactics are used without justification - make sure your people aren't doing it more and worse or their crap spread on the waters ... - mind you, the Tories would have to maybe even ease off on their using taxpayer and donor money to fund their preferred lifestyles wouldn't they? Maybe even do the jobs they are paid for?

Or simply hoping they would evade/fade away from public awareness with no headlines? When is a labour MP referring Jenrick to police for either breaking lockdown and lying about it and/or lying about his main residence/election registration fraud Same with satans little helper Cummings - among a number of other tory shysters .. Tory MPs without whip turning into quite a large party isnt it

example Rich guy sells a $100M dollars worth of trump shares he doesn't have at ($78 dollars a share) start of trading and gets average 70 dollars a share for them (an apparent loss that goes on his tax return as an offset his profits) Its 3 days before he has to settle and share price falls to $29 dollars a share - so buys the shares to fill his 'debt' @ £29 dollars a share average and pockets the $41 dollars a share (minus the relatively small fees) difference at nothing other than a paper cost and millions in profit. Shunt the pure profits through tax havens .. and to cover costs of similar shorts that didn't go so well ...

Yep - lost whip as headline says BUT apparently after Times article on various apparent misuses of funds was scheduled .. These actions of his uncovered by the Times were last year

“If Trump’s stock in Truth Social, his company, drops any lower, he might do better under my tax plan than his.” — President Biden, while pitching his plan for higher taxes on the rich in Scranton, Pennsylvania LOL Hit $26 and likely temporarily bounced back a bit to 27 dollars - from $78 - still a good return on MHA (malodorous hot air) Wonder whos making the money off this ponzi looking scheme share price colapse?

.. A tired little trump simply run out of wind .. for a little while ...

and another one MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds "According to a source close to Mr Menzies, the MP had met a man on an online dating website and gone to the man’s flat, before subsequently going with another man to a second address where he continued drinking. He was sick at one point and several people at the address demanded £5,000, claiming it was for cleaning up and other expenses." The sum, which rose to £6,500, was eventually paid by his office manager from her personal bank account and subsequently reimbursed from funds raised from donors Never mind losing whip - how about criminal charges MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The Fylde MP is alleged to have used campaign funds to pay off ‘bad people’ and cover medical expenses ALSO According to the The Times, £14,000 given by donors for use on Tory campaign activities was transferred to Mr Menzies’ personal bank accounts and used for private medical expenses. The MP, who is one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys, is also said to have called his 78-year-old former campaign manager at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”. Hes supposed to use funding from Taxpayers and doners for a life of service, not funding a life of drink and debauchery Hope his parliamentary expenses are also investigated. In fact, perhaps Mr Bates next role in life should be as an independent investigator of Parliamentary expenses?

Trump was unable to make it through the first day of court without falling asleep on Monday, which sparked a whole host of jokes, memes and even a new nickname, 'Dozy Don'

You cant fault her loyalty, I mean, the extremes shes gone to to ensure Johnson the corrupt incompetent liar doesn't stand out alone and head, shoulders and buttocks above all others as the worst PM in UK history. - presumably paving the path to his imminent return with the new slogan 'could be worse, could be Truss'

They've hired a barrister to 'investigate' and declare read is innocent of all charges - and the board and the guv business interface 'shareholder' who seem likely (IMO) as guilty as sin have come out of the woodwork (must be crapping themselves) claim they have full faith in this guy who has presided over the biggest scandal and miscarriages of justice in UK history “Following several interviews and examination of documents by the barrister, Nick has been exonerated of all the misconduct allegations and has the full and united backing of the board to continue to lead the business,” They did take the time to chide staunton for leaking details of the “speak up document” they wanted to keep hidden seems to me that anyone who gives a shred of credence to this whitewash attempt is beyond stupid.
