Sunak's a Tory. He has no idea what the word 'legitimate' means. In any context.

And this news comes just as BP announce profits of £2 billion .

Net zero can get tae fuck, there's serious money to be made.

A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

In May, the Times of India reported that Infosys bagged a huge deal from the global energy company which is thought to be the second-largest in the history of the firm.
The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”
This story will be tomorrow’s fish and chip paper. A dysfunctional banana republic run by a dangerous Randist maniac. But hey Liam Byrne’s note.

From an apologist elsewhere, in response to the LE piece;
Infosys are a big IT services firm; the idea that even as large an outsource deal as that would have that much sway says more about the way that those writing it think than likely reality - as is the idea that the PM would have that much involvement in the procurement decisions dropped into that conspiratorial mush.

Aye. The new North Sea fossil fuels exploration licences are just a pure coincidence.

The irony here is that Goldman Sachs and their mates could have put their collective foot down and prevented Brexit. The clusterfuck of its execution forced them to not look a gift horse in the mouth and to sidle in their tea-boy.

Still, considering all the countries that they could have gang-raped, it was little more than a footnote.

It's at this point you search for Abers' "it's all connected" thread, innit?

I'm sure the Wensleydale Brewery is loving the publicity, mind...

I had a couple of cans of O'Hara's Nitro Stout* that had been lying in the back of the car being bounced around for a week, and I still managed a better head than that.


*O'Hara's/Carlow Brewing make extremely tasty beer, and I generally prefer their stout to most Guinness stuff. It's not very widely available, but they do make the Irish Stout for Marks And Sparks, which is very good. Rarer yet is the Léann Follain, a barrel aged, export strength stout that will cure most things after a pint

Numbers man Rishi here. Surprised he didn't tell the bloke that he should have bought in cash.

Per Sam Freedman, Rishi's clever "average" is brought down massively by all the mortgages that are still fixed.

Alas, it would appear the image has been photoshopped. Here is the image that Sunak's publicity minions put out on Twitter:

Lost 2 more council seats to the LDs yesterday (Labour lost 1, held another easily).

30 polls since the Tories got 30%, apparently.
