Why Did Boris Give Her One ?

[gulliver1]

Charlotte Owen, a former special adviser in Boris's former Conservative govt was appointed to the HOL in Boris's resignation honours list. But no one knows Why. ? Both her appointment and that of another Adviser Ross Kempell are now being questioned.

[Khandro]

Perhaps he already had 😄

Martin Rosenbaum a  journalist and freedom of information campaigner, has taken the HOL appointments commision to a first -tier tribunal in order to reveal who had written letters of citation for these two Tory peers.

yeah by a campaigning nonentity (and not by anyone who might have the power to make a difference), who's been shouting the odds for nearly 2 years and got absoluteky nowhere.

[gulliver1]

The Commission initially refused To give any  information on the grounds that it contained confidential and personal information.  I bet it did.

[gulliver1]

I see Grant Shapps was also in on the act.

I take it you've never encountered GDPR, Gulliver? you should have, it applies throughout Europe...... https://gdpr.eu/

[dave50]

Give her what, exactly?

[youngmafbog]

I think its intended to mean his johnson.

[youngmafbog]

Of course the underlying problem is that the HoL should be elected.  No hereditory, religious or political appointments.

[gulliver1]

Apparently Miss Owen advised Boris and the chief whipp on who to promote to for ministerial appointments.

[youngmafbog]

Er well yes.  Advisors are usually employed to advise.

[gulliver1]

Wonder if Grant Shapps was one of  the promotions she recommended?🤣

[gulliver1]

YMB @ 11.39 Charlotte was appointed as the youngest ever life peer🤣 Despite her lack of Professional experience.🤣

Gulliver   Perhaps this will help.

But instead of focusing on events that happened some time ago, why not address things that are happening today.  Businesses going bust and closing down, jobs being lost, the value of the pound plummeting, the forecast that interest rates will be increased along with further tax increases, illegals still crossing the channel.  These are some of the things that matter today, not something that Johnson did a couple of years ago. Or are you ashamed to discuss what this shower are doing to this country and it's people?

[gramps85]

Gulliver 11.49. Just like a Chancellor who has no qualifications or experience in finacial matters.

[gulliver1]

When Martin Rosenbaum was given the reasons Boris promoted Miss owen to the HOL he said the reasons she was cited for a peerage came across as very thin, inadequate and lacking in evidence of relevant achievements.This  leaves her peerage as a mystery.    Well she must have been good at something to have made Boris give her one.

[gulliver1]

11.57 Gramps just like a very short term Tory PM who didn't like Lettuce .Who had no qualifications or experience in financial matters but managed to crash the economy single handed🤣And she is still rambling on about how it wasn't  her fault🤣But it was🤣

[gulliver1]

Gramps 11.55.Why not address things that are happening today"    Yes Gramps why not!  Businesses going bust and closing down. Jobs being lost .The value of the pound plummeting.The forecast that interest rates will increase.Along with further tax increases.Illegals still crossing the  channel All these things you mention were brought on by Boris and the Cons because of Brexit and mis managment  through 14  Years of Tory control.Not forgetting Britain voted out  thinking it would stop illegals  Remember Boris saying vote out of the EU so we can take back control of our own border and you all believed him. Then he sailed into the job he always wanted.And you lot put him there by believing the liar.Not forgetting the £40 billion hole the cons left in the economy for Labour  to sort out. OK

One could also ask why Magic Grandpa gave Abacus Abbott one.....but perhaps we are talking about different things....😳

[newmodarmy]

More lies or another complete misunderstanding from gulliver. The claimed black hole was 22 billion not 40 billion.
