Its abhorrent that Boris could even be considered. How can you remove a PM in a no-confidence vote after myriad scandals and a disciplinary committee over his head - and then put him back two months later? Are our attention spans that short now? He's on holiday! Parliament is sitting, he's still pa...

It's the Tory equivalent of the Corbyn fiasco.

The IMF don't like it! IMF statement in full: "We are closely monitoring recent economic developments in the UK and are engaged with the authorities. "We understand that the sizable fiscal package announced aims at helping families and businesses deal with the energy shock and at boosting ...

Yes, Conservative MPs appear to have signed their own election defeat warrant, the unelectable Sunak versus the equally unelectable Truss. Yes, quite extraordinary. Tory MPs finally plucked up the courage to kick Johnson out, then chose the two people most associated with his time in office to be t...

Why does no country in the world look like they have any decent options in an election? Is this deliberate? Are there no decent (loose use of the word here) politicians left? Because the world is inherently ******. War with Russia. Ever growing Chinese threat. Climate change. Mass migration of peop...

I'd be quite happy to see Chris Whitty swinging on the end of a rope in the street but that's anther matter....

That's just not funny.

Funny that this subject should be raised now. My wife and I were clearing out the attic a few weeks ago and came across some premium bonds worth £100 in my name that I never knew I had. No idea what to do with them and we'll look into transferring them into a bank account I'd imagine. Until seeing ...

But what I don't understand is this weird conspiratorial notion of the government wanting to lock the public down. What purpose does that serve? Yes, I don't understand that idea. Why would the government want to do that unless they thought it was necessary for public health reasons? What could the...

I don't see how Johnson can do anything. Firstly, Hancock did exactly what Johnson did when the latter was mayor of London. Gave a non-job and loads of public money to his extra-marital girlfriend. Sacking Hancock would just turn attention back onto an affair Johnson has happily eliminated from vie...

I've got a drop of Welsh blood. My great grandfather came across the border from Montgomeryshire to Cheshire way back in the 19th century. Always enjoy their anthem and hope they do well.

Hancock gets his half-hour in Parliament today. Could be interesting.

So, contrary to what the manufacturers say, contrary to what the trial tests suggested, contrary to the WHO, contrary to the British doctors organisations and contrary to every other country in the world, our Government have decided to more than double the time between the first and second vaccines...

Anyone from Cornwall to complete the set?

Tier 1 - Isle of Wight!
