Is this another Tory scandal brewing? (Part 2)
First topic message reminder :
Maybe Goves wife will provide the job seekers with the money to buy her expensive facial creams, and maybe while she is at it she could take them out and buy them a new outfit to attend there interview with so they can get a zero hour contract job.

I have no doubt that tomorrow's Sun will berate the fourth-form weed John Major for showing disrespect by clearly falling asleep at the Cenotaph yesterday. The evidence plainly shows Cameron wondering from where the snoring emanates...

I would imagine boatlady that poor Jermy Corbyn had to put up with the STINK that is standing next to and behind him, its a wonder JC has not got his hanky at his nose to deflect the STENCH coming from both direction.

Here we have Tory minister James Wharton showing his 'respect' during a memorial event in his own constituency. How strange that 'The Sun' editorial board didn't find room for this on the front page of their gutter publication!

Andrew Lansley takes post advising drugs firm involved in dispute with NHS
From an article by Rowena Mason:-
Andrew Lansley, the former health secretary, has taken on three more private sector jobs, including advising a pharmaceuticals firm at the centre of a row over the price it charges the NHS for cancer drugs. Despite Cameron’s promise in 2010 to end the 'revolving door' between Whitehall and the private sector, the recently ennobled Tory peer has declared work as an adviser to Roche, the Swiss drugs company, and as an adviser to private equity firm Blackstone on investments in the health sector.
Roche has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the cancer drugs fund that Lansley set up in 2010 to pay for life-extending medicines that were considered too expensive by the NHS. Lansley, the architect of the coalition’s controversial NHS changes that critics say have led to greater privatisation, is also giving “advice on industry” to Blackstone, which was criticised for its previous ownership of Southern Cross care homes, which failed under a mountain of debt in 2011 five years after being sold by the company.
In October, it emerged Lansley has also taken up work advising corporate clients on innovation in healthcare for management consultants Bain & Company, as well as working for a consultancy set up by his wife called Low Associates for which he would provide “expertise on competition, economic regulation, health and social care, local government and the communications industry”.

Thank you IVAN for putting part of last nights Newnight on the forum could I trouble you to put this on Twitter this NEEDS to go national, I watched it but the only reason I did was because I seen a link on twitter.
The people of the UK need to see "Just How Low" the Tories will go to get into and stay in power, even there own MPs are speaking out against this Bullying Blackmail & Sexual Harassment. If Clarke was doing this how many other Tory activists and the Peer that is mentioned in this clip plus Grant Chapps should be expelled from gov't by this they are not FIT to hold OFFICE

Three thoughts :
(a) If this man behaves as described, it surely makes him entirely suitable to be a leading light in a Party of the nature of the Tories.
(b) It's encouraging that the BBC is willing and able to broadcast such a piece.
(c) Nothing surprises me about any corrupt or sinister activities involving members or politicians linked to this despicable movement.

From the inception of Cutting Edge I have described the Tory Party as behaving like an invading Army of Occupation, and have found no need to depart from that opinion since.

Esther McVey lands £530-a-day taxpayer funded job six months after being booted as an MP
The former jobs minister will be chair of the British Transport Police Authority and hold down a part-time role with a lobbying firm. She's been appointed by her former colleague, transport minister Patrick McLaughlin; the £32,000 job requires her to work just 60 days a year. The Conservative welfare slasher and ex-TV presenter will juggle that job with an 'advisory role' at lobbyists Hume Brophy.

Re: Is this another Tory scandal brewing? (Part 2)
It isn't appropriate to label this as "jobs for the boys", but a propos of nothing in particular, I have occasionally wondered why British Transport needs a separate police from the other Police. Especially as Mr. Osborne and his pals seem so keen on cutting funding for "the Police" just at the moment.

The customary look on La Morgan's face always suggests that she has just seen Jeremy Corbyn drop his trousers to reveal his 'Scrap Trident' underpants.
Indeed, in the worst of the images of her, it is possible that he has even forgotten to put them on at all...

I have got to agree with you bobby, I heard a joke about that so allow me to share it with you all. What did the Pig say to Davy boy Answer My Lips are Sealed
I just wonder how many more female Tory MPs have got the same problem as La Morgan or is it the only way they can get a Ministerial job ??

Cameron was regularly criticised for not having many women in his cabinet, and one day at PMQs there weren't any on the Tory front bench beside him. So Lynton Crosby told him to promote more women, but he couldn't find anyone better than Nicky Morgan and Liz Truss, both of whom would be way out of their depth in a car park puddle.

Is there any feasible explanation for all of this other than blatant corruption?
John Nash, the chairman of Care UK, gave £21,000 to fund Andrew Lansley’s personal office in November 2009. Lansley became health secretary in May 2010 and immediately started preparing what became the Health and Social Care Act of 2012, for which the Tories had no mandate. Now Lansley has left the House of Commons, been given a peerage and has taken up three private healthcare jobs.

Nash, who also made generous donations to the Tory Party, was then given a peerage by Cameron, a contract by Duncan Smith and made a schools minister by Gove.

Now the Tories have blown an estimated £30,000 of our money in an attempt to keep Lansley’s diaries secret from the public.

More scandal for the Tory party the female Tory MP for Telford, adding three words to one of her constituents tweet to make out she is getting death threats and now it has came out she (Alledgily) has been bullying her constitency staff and has sacked one of them. Its seems all Tories are spoilt BRATS if they do not get there own way they spit the dummy and tell WHOPPERS.

The pressure on Tory MPs to live up to the constant CCHQ media propaganda gets to all of them in the end. For example, from today's news, "A total of almost two million EU migrants have been allocated national insurance numbers in the last four years - far higher than the 760,000 counted into Britain via surveys."

Late last night I read an article on MSN regarding the plonker Gideon’ new plan to fix our National finances he/it has already put a freeze on public sector pay rises. Of course this doesn’t fair to well with his mates, in order to give one of them a descent pay rise, he supposedly promoted/retitled him and gave him a hefty 43% pay rise.
The arsehole is so blatant it beggars belief, it also shows just how much contempt he holds for the rest of Working Britain.
The article I read has now vanished demonstrating yet more contempt for his pay masters.

Before he came to power in 2010, Cameron vowed a crackdown on ex-ministers using contacts and information gained in office for private gain. How did that work out? Well, five former members of his cabinet are among 25 ex-coalition ministers earning up to £600 an hour in the sector they used to regulate. But apparently they haven’t broken any rules.
