Indeed. Is this a new one to Crispin Blunt? It's genuinely difficult to keep track of all the rape/sexual abuse investigations into the Conservatives. They really are a bunch of wrong 'uns.

I think it’s better not to speculate Gawa, to be honest. Throwing people under the bus isn’t a good thing to do and having sex with a 16 year old isn’t illegal. Tories are getting pulled up for sexual offenses all the time, it seems. So, if there’s something to it, it may not just go away now that it’s partially out there.

I'll say one achievement of Cruella's that I'm prepared to recognise - she's made Priti Patel look almost moderate 😂

How much more of this shit show are we supposed to take? The country is being lead down a dark path and when faced with opposition they simply change the goal posts.

Due in no small part to Lockdown, Furlough etc. Other factors undoubtedly but you can’t dismiss but the point stands and so many non tories were behind those measures. Everybody has a part to play in what we see now

I don't think they are economically illiterate Oggy. I think they do it deliberately and don't give a monkey's toss about poor people because they're so busy filling their rich friend's pocket. That's what Tory policy has always been about. OS.

Due in no small part to Lockdown, Furlough etc. Other factors undoubtedly but you can’t dismiss but the point stands and so many non tories were behind those measures. Everybody has a part to play in what we see now The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has provided reports on poverty for many years: www.jrf.org.uk/report/uk-poverty-2023#key-findings I think that they are an excellent resource, and yes they do talk about Covid at length in their latest update. In their summaries, they state that: “Throughout the last 25 years, children have consistently had the highest poverty rates. Twenty-five years ago, a third of children lived in poverty. This fell to 28% by 2004/05 and reached its lowest level of 27% between 2010/11 and 2013/14. After this period, child poverty rose, reaching 31% in 2019/20 before falling back to 27% in 2020/21.” So, the best time for children in the UK was around the end of the Labour govt. Throughout the report, they mention that %’s between 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 are not quite reflective of general society as everyone’s income dropped, so the baseline of the poverty line fell, causing a shift in %’s that do not tell the real picture.

Everybody has a part to play in what we see now Covid obviously was and is a factor. But are you telling me Tory economic policy has worked? Are the poor being taken out of poverty? No, the opposite is happening.
