When Labour's most recent recruit complained about the underhanded methods used by Gavin Williamson to support the government's position on free school meals, which implied the then education secretary would pull funding for a high school in Radcliffe if Christian Wakeford didn't vote the right way</i>»<br /><br />So after expensive wallpaper, "work" lunches, and luxury restaurants the latest scandal is that the whips and ministers are doing party politics? Oh so outrageous! All these establishment figures (and our blogger) are shocked, shocked such things are going on in that den :-).<br /><br />This is classic "Private Eye" stuff: to make clear that the system is working well, but for some "bad apples" misbehaving. The system delivers bigger housing cost inflation and pushes down wages and job security quite successfully, too bad some despicable spiv and his mates spaff several thousand pounds up the wall and indulge in party politics. Here we really have an inverted pyramid of piffle, for once.<br /><br />It is for me a bit sad to see our blogger, in his anti-Johnson rage, endorses fully and enthusiastically this view and gleefully endorses non-political politics, in the style of New Labour, LibDems, etc.<br /><br />The un-political antics of the right should just be watched a bit, without much interest, there are far more important topics than a factional fight among thatcherites.Blissexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-63439329951429291082022-01-24T08:35:54.185+00:002022-01-24T08:35:54.185+00:00There is a great recurring pattern here, the chaos...There is a great recurring pattern here, the chaos and the disputes seem to be getting more and more violent as time goes on. Surely a time will come when the Conservative coalition flies apart.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044822526641597453noreply@blogger.com
