    You'd think the Met Police would be hauling the corrupt chancellor's ass off to jail pretty sharpish what with him being black and all.

      They’re replacing GDPR because… reasons. Good luck with that.

        Potentially wiping out the data sector in the process. 4% of the economy.

          Huh, Truss is refusing to say whether she has confidence in Kwarteng. Surely he's gone, then, already?

            I see Badenoch is being lamented as a lost leader in some quarters, no doubt teeing her up for the next contest.

            Comment


              But the reasons she didn't win last time will still be there. My guess is that the next one will be someone who didn't run last time, most obviously Johnson, but then there would be a VoNC in him before the next election, based on the same splits as last time.

                Braverman is accusing Tory MPs of a "coup" while preparing to announce her latest violation of international law (banning those who arrive on small boats from claiming asylum)

                  GDPR by default will become the standard private sector will have to live by worldwide if you wish to trade outside globally, no matter where you are based and whatever Wild West laws are in force there. As US corporations are finding out.

                  I don't see anyhow they will successfully manage this. And of course the U.K. was one of the main architects of the GDPR in the first place. Wanks.

                    Presumably, they'll still be protecting their own data, just not anyone else's, which in turn will repel investors?

                      That royal death that he was so upset about that he laughed during the funeral?

                        I usually dream about having to do my Maths A Level again, but with a pen that won't write.

                          Kwasi Kwarteng blames ‘pressure’ of Queen’s death for botched mini-budget
                          As if the mini-budget hadn't already been designed before she snuffed it.

                          Comment


                            So, it was the Queen's fault now. Blaming the dead and blaming the royals is usually the kind of thing that works well with the Tory heartlands.

                              Too many foreign students coming into the UK - Suella Braverman

                              Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been speaking at a Telegraph fringe event at the Tory Party Conference and we've been bringing you some of her key comments here.

                              In the last hour, she said she thinks "too many students" are coming into the UK who are "frankly propping up substandard courses in inadequate institutions". She said this after claiming "net migration needs to come down".

                              "I think poor universities are being bankrolled by foreign students and I would really like to see that number come down."

                              She said the UK was seeing "quite a large number" of foreign students bringing in their family members.

                              When asked if she feels anything stopping others coming into the country as her parents are from Mauritius and Kenya, she said: "I have no qualms about that".

                              She added that she "delights" in annoying the left.

                              Comment


                                Surely Kwarteng is toast now? What a rocket scientist, unnecessarily giving everyone a fresh prompt to comment on how he was laughing at Brenda’s funeral while coming out with an offensively lame excuse.

                                Someone on Twitter commented on Braverman’s “dream” comment that it was a new variant on MLK.

                                The Benny Hill music surrounding the conference venue is perfect.

                                  She's a racist troll then

                                    Surely each foreign student brings in tens of thousands of pounds to the economy each year? Decreasing their numbers is economically illiterate.

                                    Comment


                                      Well, indeed. Quite apart from the whole “soft power” benefit. But then practically every damn thing this nasty scumbag government do is economically illiterate, from hard Brexit to tens of billions of unfunded tax cuts via fracking and attacks on GDPR. It’s a cultural and economic suicide cult.

                                        "She said the UK was seeing "quite a large number" of foreign students bringing in their family members."

                                        Surely this isn't even possible.

                                          Braverman seems to have concocted a racist CT about foreigners taking meaningless courses just so they can bring their families in, which I doubt is even a legal option (did you ever meet an overseas student with a family in tow?).*

                                          And of course she's not talking about white Australian or South African students.

                                          *a quick look at gov.uk suggests that it's only postgrads and those sponsored by governments, and they can only bring partners and kids not parents etc.

                                                Next thing she'll be banging on about benefits, as though signing on wasn't hard enough even for white "locals",

                                                  Sure. I'm just educating myself about the rules she's lying about.

                                                    Surely the whole point about being a student is to be as far away from your family as possible so that they remain blissfully unaware of your activities.
