Lettuce Liz then Tetchy Rish! and the battle to replace him

[Sniffer]

It seems that because 96k people have been processed that's the backlog cleared. Another 100k coming to replace them in the queue doesn't count. My kids used to have a similar approach to saying they'd loaded the dishwasher

Out of the legacy backlog, 4k cases are complex and are yet to be resolved and 35k have disappeared or had their applications cancelled. Its bollocks even before you look at the numbers arriving since the summer of 2022.

Don't get me started on dishwasher/washing up/drying up wars. That needs a thread of its own.

Also a high number of people - somewhere between 17 & 21k where they have no clue where they are so a lot have been crossed off as "completed"

Essentially popped a load of paperwork in the shredder and shouted "done them. Next pile please"

They (the so called government) had admitted to the 17k being missing/lost/cancelled. A contributor to LBC last night said that the figure was now closer to double the admitted 17k.

The next pile was shredded as well then.

I presume Rishi will stand up in at PMQ's and repeat this claim and the ones who will get told off will be the ones who call him a liar

exactly how many constituents are heading to his office with this as an issue do you think?

It’s a nothing comment. Dear God

remember those new oil drilling licences, which were essential owing to our national security re energy? turns out none of the oil/gas is destined for the UK;

You could've warned us to sit down mate, that news just made me faint in shock

 

[Tredman]

That’s a bit of a non-story though as all oil & gas is sold on an open market.

We don't have the facility to store it anyway, Centrica said the previous main storage facility was getting obsolete so they were closing it, and the Tories just said "ok" and did nothing to replace it.

 

[Sniffer]

The difference now is that the Conservatives have admitted that this is the case whereas before they were trying to hoodwink the public into thinking it would be of benefit to UK energy users.

Yes, that was called out on Question Time a couple of months ago, whichever incompetent minister was on that week hadn't got a clue

I guess the UK could have included licence conditions allowing UK preferential use of the product and at a discount from the market price had they ever been serious about it. So it was likely doable at the expense of reduced profit for the developer (aka Party donor).

We store similar amounts of gas as we did in the old holders by using higher pressure networks.

That's exactly how it should've been done.
