Politics - The Non-Brexit Thread.

House of Commons suspended because the roof is leaking.

Put a fucking bucket under it and crack on. People work in all sorts of weather in this country.

Nice to see the Torys being torys with this new institute of Technolgy Scheme 12 sites announced majority in london and the south only 2 in the whole of the North and none in the North west mind you it was chicken feed compared to the money wasted on brexit

It's probably chicken compared to the money used originally to build the Dome

Diane Abbott apologises drinking on train The next time she wants to buy a bottle of wine, hope the supermarket she uses asks the daft cow for her proof of age

Lord Buckethead has agreed to stand against Farage on 23 May and has raised all the money needed in one day on a go fund me page :

Gavin Williamson the defence secretary has been sacked by Theresa May after the National Security meeting details she held a few weeks ago had been leaked to the Daily Telegraph...next up please get rid of Failing Chris Grayling he is a real trainwreck!

It wasn't even a leak of classified material, about sources in the field or one with any operational information it was a leak about infrastructure that pertained to the general public. Nobody was compromised or put at risk by the information. The reason why he got fired was probably because the content of the leak put pressure on May as it shows a cataclysmic error of judgement on her part.

Not that I am looking to defend him or anything he blamed the leak on civil servants and in doing so threw people who are not in a position to defend themselves under the bus. Which is a major dick move

He leaked (although he still denies it) from a committee which deals with the most top secret issues and for which all members have to sign the Official Secrets Act. Sacking is the least he should expect because he could yet be prosecuted for breaching the Official Secrets Act

No he won't they've said they'll be no criminal investigation.(Scape goat me thinks)

The meeting was covered by the Official Secrets Act. Once you sign that, you don't get to pick and choose which secrets to keep.
