The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, is being investigated by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner for allegedly breaching the MPs' code of conduct over declaration of his biz interests – No 10 say no breach, awkward for a Cabinet minister

Unfortunately for you, I’ve had more responses to my posts that I intend to reply soon. If IIRC this isn’t the first time what I’ve said has troubled you. In life you can’t always be exposed to opinions that make you feel comfortable.
Reckon he will not suffer adverse consequences unless something new surfaces.

I don’t think people are just pointing out Corbyn’s an idiot, which is what we already know to be the case. People got excited because they thought the story would be no longer one which makes only the govt look bad, but instead would be seen as a failure of both parties. Yep, this site is addictive....
Because on average (s)he'd be right on here..?
I had teenage girls as the top cohort
Can I just get an update on Labour's position on the Windrush Cards.
Is it really important because TMay destroyed them?
Or of no significance because Labour did?
no didn't think so.
I guess it shows that in the absence of a screen name that might hint at your gender, expect that you'll be assumed to be a bloke since they constitute the vast majority of PB's readership.
Questioned by Sir Cliff's barrister Justin Rushbrooke QC, Mr Johnson acknowledged using the term "celebrity paedo" when referring to the case in an email to a colleague.

maybe early twenties might work
Tommy Corbyn brought in community campaigner Carl Walmsley for the promotional video - but unearthed social media messages show he used to back the BNP and said Muslims were 'bastards'

Hunt already has a net approval rating of -62% with Yougov

However, I'm not in my early twenties so that's no doubt why I was ok.
Compare and contrast Johnson, Davis, Gove, Javid, Reed-Mogg, Hammond and Rudd.
For that reason alone, he really ought to be favourite - assuming he can scrape through this investigation.
At the moment he would be a gift to Corbyn

"The Jewish lobby is very powerful not just in the Labour Party. One solution I’ve heard is that the Labour Party should aim for 50% Jewish MP’s and 51% shadow cabinet members with a proviso that the Shadow Foreign Minister and Defence Minister be Jewish. A more radical view from some is that the Party should impose a cap on Muslim members so it is never more than the Jewish quota."
"Obviously their loyalty is to Israel than to Labour party, Labour members or working class. They would do anything to perpetuate the apartheid regime of Israel! History would judge them the way it would judge people and regimes who supported South Africa and designated Mandela a terrorist."
"The anti-semitism 'problem' also can be solved by simply having all MP's declare when they are running for office, or seeking re-election if they are a 'friend of Israel'"
Barnesian would no doubt claim they are all Tory trolls...
It won’t be Michael Gove for a very simple and blunt reason, he’s pissed off far too many people in the Tory party. He’s annoyed people like David Davis with his actions over Brexit to the point David Davis contemplated resigning over Gove’s actions.
The Cameroon wing which has substantial numbers in Parliament still hasn’t forgiven Gove for going against Cameron in the referendum. When David Cameron goes pheasant shooting he likes to name the pheasants Michael Gove because when he shoots the pheasants called Gove it makes Cameron feel better. Pathetic and childish from David Cameron? Maybe, but it does display the animus for Gove.
Gove has also annoyed supporters of Boris Johnson when Gove ended Boris Johnson’s leadership ambitions in 2016, Ben Wallace, a Boris supporter, publicly announced he wanted to go all Game of Thrones and remove Gove’s penis. As an aside Ben Wallace is tipped to join the cabinet in the next major reshuffle.
You simply cannot annoy people to that level and expect to become Leader. When I said Michael Gove was a lot like Judas Iscariot the retort I was given was ‘Gove’s nothing like Judas, Judas had the decency to commit suicide after his betrayal.’

This is in front of a jury, right?
Sec of State for Health is a career killer. About the only MP to get promoted afterwards was Ken Clarke, and then only to CoE. The rest for both parties are in the career graveyard.
I know how well thought of Khan and Trudeau are on here after all so I’d thought I post this *innocent face*
Turns out saying Prince Harry is like a medieval Prince going to the Middle East on a crusade to kill Muslims is a no no on CIF.
Socially liberal, free market economic dry.
so the mods had a point
There may be some of course who think that women don’t like to bother their pretty little heads with all this hard political stuff.........
One PB’er, long departed, even said when he found that I was a woman that I couldn’t be because I argued like a man. I was very tempted to reply that, no, I didn’t argue like a man. I was much better than that.
(PS The smiley is just to tease @tyson.)
I enjoy watching Corbyn taking a caning as much as anyone else. However, this debacle is disgraceful and anyone who is not fully 'of the faith' can see Mrs May is up to her neck in slurry over this affair! The cards are a sideshow, the problem is the execution and administration of the 2014 Immigration Act!
Stodge said "I can't understand why owning your own home makes you more Conservative".
I thought I would provide him with this small, recent anecdote from my own patch of deep blue middle England (Mid Sussex).
There is a very unpopular planning application on my road, to turn a large derelict old house into 12 flats.
Wading through the multitude of objections to the planning application on the council's website the other day, I found one objection from the secretary of East Grinstead Labour Party saying "we object to this development because it will not be used for social housing". On smart roads in the home counties that is not the way to win votes.
@Cyclefree It’s really odd someone said you argue like a man, I’ve never thought the way people argue could be distinguished into male and female styles.
Tea break will soon be over. Back on our heads....
Goldsmith’s campaign was so awful and inept that I think (I hope) no-one will try anything like that again. We are fortunate in this country that we have good Muslim politicians in high office across the political divide. I hope this provides some inoculation against those trying to have an anti-Muslim party.
And no, I didn't see SeanT. Perhaps Rutland is a little too nice for him ...
Health as a portfolio is not one that makes careers.
But I had a similar reaction at work. I would sometimes be accused of being ruthless because I would point out facts - unshorn of emotion - and why that meant that certain - difficult - action needed to be taken. It was as if people expected me as a woman to focus on touchy feely emotional stuff.
TM made Corbyn look foolish today but the Windrush scandal is an embarrassment for her but she will survive,
Corbyn has been found out this week and as a report in the Independent says this week and last nights debate has created an irretrievable split in labour and this will have implications sometime down the line
Amber Rudd should have dealt with Windrush when she was first notified of it and Corbyn actually saved her job today but she has lost any chance of the leadership
Jeremy Hunt has also lost his chance.
And it comes back to my contention that TM successor will be from the newer intakes and more than probably female
The fact that Corbyn is a 24 carat idiot should not give Mrs May, or back on topic, Mr Hunt a free pass when they are out of order.

It was quite a fun game for a while......
