New World Order - Politics 2021

[sally maclennane]

Good result for Kim Leadbeater in Batley, although it was incredibly narrow. That arsehole Galliway got over 8000 votes though

[smalex]

So SO much admiration for her, and her family.

Keit’s bought himself a bit more time ;)

I’m pleased she won.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I really want Keir to be able to turn this around.

Michael Gove and his wife Sarah Vine have announced they are separating. Interesting…I wonder if there’s something about to come out there? She wrote a really insightful piece in the Mail last week (I won’t link to it )after the Matt Hancock revelations came out, about how the high-flying politician’s fantasy of being a powerful master of the universe is inevitably not compatible with the wife who has known him forever, and knows it’s all just a facade. Prescient, or getting in the first blow, I wonder?

[smalex]

I saw that and then some intimation that they'd separated and he was 'currently staying with an aide' or some wording like that

[Texaco Shirley]

There have been rumours that he moved out months ago.

[Pippedydeadeye]

First blow, without doubt.

[Morganna]

I read somewhere that Diane Abbott insinuated that the affair is with a male SPAD, but I can't remember where I read it.

I couldn't care less about any of it, but I really think that corrupt contracts and so on should be criminally prosecuted. I also wonder when they get anything done, what with affairs, dodging journalists and awarding contracts to their chums.

[emma_p]

Rumour is it’s with a former girlfriend of Gove’s who is at no 10.

[Ruby]

I heard it is a male SPaD and friend of Carrie's. I think a woman is more likely though tbh.

[smalex]

Thinking about Goves sex life is even more upsetting than MH . Did we wrong someone in a previous life?

[emma_p]

The female I heard is a friend of Carrie’s.

[Morganna]

The female I heard is a friend of Carrie’s.

Is everyone a friend of Carrie? Is it some sort of euphemism?

and smal

[Turtle Bean]

I actually don't care who they shag. It's all the corruption that bothers me.

It's like Take a Break : the Westminster issue.

[Ruby]

The female I heard is a friend of Carrie’s.

Fimone Sinn? I feel like everyone is Carrie's friend except Cummings. It's all super incestuous.

[emma_p]

That's her, according to S. I will verify with my neighbour Wick Natt. I am literally the envy of school mums when he chats to me.

[Ruby]

Please pump for info.

I really want to be dignified and say I don't care
