How is the Tory government doing?

Unreal that the BBC have asked for permission, the Tory attack on them seems to be having its desired affect.

Glos, are you sure you're not getting him mixed up with tory Cleverley?

NO! he's talking about that twat Lammy!

I'm back!

And here is the latest example of this government wasting money:

Wrong there TROY. Whoever writes a report is the one who can emphasise, add, or omit, and even slant the final report to whatever they want it to be.

Certainly not. Cleverley is a far better politician than Lammy. I'm with Cajun on this 

Who let xmiles back?

Bullery ! 
We know he's a shy and retiring left wing radical, and this could upset him

He’s commenting on which of his recommendations have been implemented. There’s not really a slant to take, they either are implemented or they’re not.

Oops !  I wonder what I was thinking of.
There again, he was only commenting on his own views of previously  (I'm squirming here) 

Nothing to be ashamed of glos.

He doesn't really need to know anything about national security seeing as Cummings will be telling him what to do and say, but it's very refreshing to see the former PM asking pertinent questions of her own Government.

An interesting development re the loveable Mr, Cummings:

Lets hope she gets her funding, but I can't help but feel this attempt will be quietly pushed into the long grass. There's a lot of powerful people out there who will put every obstacle in her way. 

Regarding the appointment of a politician with no Security experience as a Head of National Security is ludicrous. Knowledge and understanding of the subject is built up over many years. 
I believe this is another maneuver by Cummings to trim or shape the Civil Service, but this time he's got it very wrong, and whats disappointing is that Boris has rubber stamped it. 
No wonder the polls are showing Keir Starmer is more popular than the PM at the moment.

I agree glos.

Will xmiles, okocha & TROY be digging deep?

It's all about control: Deliberately put in place a cabinet made up of entirely Brexit-supporting ministers; attempt to control and vilify sections of the press, whilst Boris sways the Telegraph through his regular column; threaten and blacken the name of the BBC; pick and choose who can interview ministers (no Piers or Ch4 or Andrew Neil); attempt to (illegally) prorogue parliament; favour Tory donors; smear the judiciary; pressurise the police; reform the civil service, ousting the top man who happens to be a remainer and replacing him with a man Cummings can manipulate....etc

More like a dictatorship every day with lying, evasion, denials, cover-ups, witholding reports, disortion of facts. They think we have forgotten or will forget "little" things like counting items of protective gloves as two separate items....which shows how low they are prepared to sink to put a favourable gloss on reality and con the gullible.
