			The main pre-conference spending pledge, presented as £13bn to build 40 new hospitals, fell apart after it emerged that the actual money committed so far, £3bn, would go to just six NHS trusts, which had plans already in place for hospitals in need of rebuilding. Another 21 trusts would receive much smaller sums, but only to assist preparatory work for plans to take place almost a decade from now. The Guardian So they lied again | ||

			So Boris might or might not have touched a ladies leg in 1998, and this is the top story today? As people said about Trudeau, that was 20 years ago, and he's seen the errors of his ways. Only we know with Trudeau that him Blacking up is a fact, this with Boris is not proven as a fact. Still, top story of the day, and on a Tory conference day of all times. | |||

			That's marginally better. However I don't like the over 21 bit. 18 is the generally accepted age of being able to do anything legally and full adult age. I think it wrong, anyone 19 or 20 doing the same work and job as an over 21 year old get paid less. They should be paid the same in my view. | ||

			How do you even remember someone touching your leg 20 years ago, let alone think it's significant enough to yak on about.

			Over the weekend, Philip Hammond questioned the political connections of some hedge fund managers backing a no-deal Brexit, and the former permanent secretary to the Treasury Nick Macpherson argued the former chancellor was right to do so. Labour has been granted an urgent question in the House of Commons on the issue. The Guardian Always follow the money | ||

			A former cabinet minister is facing questions over his conduct after documents revealed he helped lobby for two firms he was paid to advise. Owen Paterson, a former Conservative environment secretary and prominent Brexit supporter, took part in lobbying campaigns for the firms to promote their products. Documents obtained by the Guardian reveal he had several meetings with officials and another with a minister. He also wrote asking them to take steps that would benefit the food manufacturer Lynn’s Country Foods and the healthcare firm Randox. https://www.theguardian.com/politics...paid-to-advise That swamp needs draining | ||

			I always try to avoid commenting on allegations such as this lady is stating now. I never understand why adults don't object at the time it's supposed to have taken place. I haven't a scrap of respect or liking towards Johnson. However on this, I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. Obviously it will be looked into but for me, after all this time. Anyone can say anything like this about anyone. It doesn't make it true. It also doesn't make it false but you need more than just words in law. | ||

			A veteran of Boris Johnson’s political campaigns has resigned as a Downing Street political adviser as tensions rise between former Vote Leave members and ex-City Hall factions around No 10. Alex Crowley, who worked on Johnson’s Tory leadership campaign, two mayoral campaigns and wrote a book about him, quit last week after just weeks in the prime minister’s political unit. Crowley’s exit came as several sources with knowledge of No 10 suggested that there is an atmosphere of feuding inside Johnson’s administration. The Guardian | ||

			Well it was hardly worth waiting for. Just more vague avoidance and pure waffle. Sometimes I wonder if he really has any idea at all. How I wish a presenter would press and ask if these 20,000 police officers are EXTRA to the thousands who will be retiring in the next 3 to 5 years. Those still being replaced with these 20,000 being really added on top. Doesn't seem like a question the government wants to clarify. Last edited by joeysteele; 01-10-2019 at 07:40 AM. | ||

			Well that's all he's been saying since becoming PM. No point in really interviewing him yet then. Last edited by joeysteele; 01-10-2019 at 07:41 AM. | ||
