As the investigation was internal and a whitewash I think somebody should now find a way of investigating this independently. The application is a disgrace and as somebody who has bid for grants in the past this would've been laughed out of the room had she not known Johnson.

Johnson's a disgrace for getting involved and just as bad are the civil servants for giving this money out. Grow some bollocks and say no or they are complicit, they wouldn't have been sacked as that would expose Johnson for leaning on them. It's this kind of spineless behaviour that is unacceptable.

Yes, I've done something similar at work. Building up a business case for the application, background, competitors, uk market size etc etc. It was a lengthy process and someone from the grant scheme that we were applying for, offered to review it before submission. They looked at it, advised areas where it was weak so that it could be done again and submitted. Still failed to get a penny as it was oversubscribed and they focused the grants on specific projects . Yet this bullshitter can make a joke of the form and still get offered £100k. I appreciate that the grant was for different sectors but all the same you would think that the same scrutiny would be applied and even if there was money left in the grant pot then they wouldn't just give it to anyone who had applied.

As for Alex the great's involvement I doubt if they can pin this one on him, despite how fishy it looks even if they wanted to. The London Mayor grants and trips though.....
 
I work in software and you’d get laughed out of any application with that level of shit.
 
Wow.

Although, I cannot say I am surprised. Boris is every bit as dirty as his ally in the White House.

This is the Tory cretin running for Wolverhampton South West (Tettenhall, Penn etc).

Ok.

1) Spends ages wittering on about how he was in the Army. Mate, I don't care.

2) Goes on about a load of local issues that are really down to the Council. You won't get to impact on these really as an MP? All really vague stuff as well.

3) Vague nonsense about the city centre. We all know the principal reasons why large parts of the city centre are a dead loss: a) business rates and b) the Council backing the wrong horse, multiple times

4) Voted Leave, supports Leave. Stuart. You do realise how much any form of Brexit will hurt Wolverhampton? How any kind of credible economic analysis suggests this? What were your reasons for voting Leave, please tell us and how that collerates to us having a better future with you at the helm?

I could have said all that to him but I just told him to fuck off, as I'm really mature.

Oh, and it appearing on my FB feed (I'm not Wolves SW, but closeish I suppose) tells you how strongly they're going to bombard social media.

Any other parties on your feed? Just interested.
 
So he's actually gone with the slogan 'Britain deserves better'. No argument there.

The London Assembly is still looking into it, and there are another two separate investigations also running. It's not going to go away, although I doubt we'll hear any more this side of the election unfortunately, because in any other era it would already have been a resigning matter.

Thing is, this was the defining thing about Johnson's time as mayor. Over and over again he gave out money and contracts to people and organisations with little to no oversight or accountability - like the famous "Boris Bikes" (which were actually a Livingstone idea). They couldn't find any large companies that wanted to sponsor the network until Johnson pitched it to then-Barclays chairman Marcus Agius while they were next to each other at the urinals (or so the legend goes) at a party in 2010, and, lo and behold, the deal that was struck shortly after was agreed without being subject to a competitive tendering process, and it turned out to be worth significantly less than similar deals agreed in other cities with similar bike networks so London taxpayers ended up footing the shortfall.

Same thing with the Garden Bridge and the New Bus For London and the bonkers new airport on Sheppey Island. He loves a hard hat and hi-vis, and being able to announce big sums of money or hand over a big cheque. But he's just a face - he's a blagger who surrounds himself with other blaggers - and he keeps moving on before his chickens come home to roost (plus he comes straight out of the Spectator-Telegraphy-Mail media network, so large numbers of journalists who should be holding him accountable, don't, because they're mates). It's actually why I think a lot of the media narrative around Johnson being "a great campaigner" or being "the UK's most popular politician" is really disconnected from reality, or at least is about 5-6 years out of date. He's more popular than Corbyn, sure, but he still polls appallingly, and if you ask Londoners nowadays he's kind of reviled among what was his key constituency as mayor - young- and middle-aged professionals living in zones 2-4 who were similarly disillusioned with Livingstone (albeit for different reasons). That demographic is now heavily Labour or Lib Dem, and I don't think they're going to back this authoritarian version of Johnson, in London or beyond. It's a new mode for him that could backfire badly when it comes to his own seat too, even if it does end up working elsewhere. (It's kind of like a lesser version of how Trump is now received whenever he visits NYC these days.)

That’s not a good sign. Tories seem to have stolen a march as I feared.

Lib Dems are significantly outspending any other party so far. It's more a reflection of our respective filter bubbles than the Tories being particularly good at digital campaigning now - although I do think borrowing the shitpost meme campaigning tactics that worked so well in the Aussie general election could be a masterstroke: https://www.newstatesman.com/politi...ose-why-tories-latest-online-ads-look-so-ugly

Agree with all of that.

He might have been popular when he was that funny (?) eccentric chap off the TV, but that was like 2006. Hardly anyone likes him now, rightly so as he's a cunt.
 
By the way, the Tories are back on my timeline.

Your vote in Wolverhampton South West will be the difference between a majority government that will Get Brexit Done and another hung Parliament.

It only takes 1,093 people to switch their vote in Wolverhampton South West to elect a Conservative MP that will Back Boris to Get Brexit Done.

A vote for anyone else, including the Brexit Party, will just create a hung Parliament with more delay, confusion, and indecision.

Desperate stuff. You don't get to have a majority just because you want one. Plus your adverts are shit, I don't even live there.
 
I see Rees-Mogg is getting a battering today.
Said those who died in the Grenfell tradegy did so because they should have ignored the advise given by the Fire Service and used their common sense instead. I mean lets ignore that the stay put policy in a Tower Block is there because the cladding on the building isn't meant to be flamable and a kitchen fire in 1 flat should not spread to the outside and destroy the block.

How about have a go at who chose that cheapest option and gave zero fucks about the lives of some of the poorest people in London.
 
"Common sense".

Yeah, I'm really thinking logically when my home is literally burning down and I'm 30 foot in the air.
 
Well I'm sure JRM is very used to life in a tower block and is speaking from experience.

Fucking cretin.
 
Just issued an apology which is brilliant



“What I meant to say is that I would have also listened to the fire brigade’s advice to stay and wait at the time"


So he meant to say the complete opposite if what he actually said. Easy mistake to make that.
 
Begs the question whether the FB knew the place was a deathtrap or not so in actual fact the Mogster needs to keep it shut ... stick to Brexit dear boy.
