Man there are too many political journalists in this country.

I think we’d all benefit enormously by not browsing their shitty clickbait columns.

Just endlessly tweeting ’i’m hearing from a source that XYZ has said ABC’ - it almost never turns out to be true or if it is, its of no consequence whatsoever. And then when they finally get the baddies in for an interview they just roll them over and give them a nice belly rub.

Panic on the street of downing, sack the journos sack the journos sack the journos !!

really good point here

[Ryan1984]

So, do we think this many of them are gaining a backbone or is it ‘ruthless Boris’?

[Ayrshire Chris]

[Gingerfish79]

This Tory on QT is a proper nob.

I'm Scottish so I definitely don't get it. How do things like that work. Do the Scottish government get more money to compensate for the fact the UK governments attempt to help people with the cost of living doesn't actually apply here.

To answer my own question have since read the devolved governments get the equivalent extra money in their budget which they can choose to spend as they deem appropriate.

Seems fair enough. Hope the SNP don't waste it

[Ryan1984]

According to The Scum, Boris “brutally culled” the four of them last night…

[Ozanne]

Labour would quite clearly be handling the cost of living crises much better.

All so exciting. Media frenzy and everyone is blabbing.

He’s spinning this into ‘the PM taking charge’. It’ll probably work for the moronic Tory MPs and be enough for them to let him off.

he'll probably claim theywere for the boot anyway due to his re-org of the PM's office.

i think its likely they thought they were going to get booted, so left before that happened. Spaffer is always happy to let others take the blame. theres no one he won't shit on.

Sounds to me like three of them were probably on their way out anyway because of partygate, but not Mirza. She seems to be the biggie, and the Starmer/Saville thing was the final straw for her.

[philipsteak]

Wonder if they'll all bother having leaving parties.

Even though Labour didn’t even stand for this by-election. But that won’t stop them…

[Ryan1984]

I dread to think who Spaffer will get in to replace this lot at short notice.

[Lycra]

It's like watching a clown's car crash in slow motion.......except it seems to be speeding up as it approaches the point of impact.

Would all be laughable.....except the British public are the victims of all this mismanagement and chaos.

This was not a widely held view by independence supporters at all post 2014.

Why do you bring up the snp or independence at literally every opportunity, it’s mad how much you care
