But but, our illustrious PM said it was done and dusted?
Ah well, I guess it’ll be Matt Handcock for the foreseeable.

Matt Hancock used private email account for government business | News | The Sunday Times (thetimes.co.uk)
Matt Hancock faces an investigation after using a personal email account instead of an official address during the pandemic in a breach of government guidelines.
Since March last year the former health secretary has routinely used a private account to conduct government business, concealing information from his own officials and potentially the public, according to documents obtained by The Sunday Times.
Perhaps he called Johnston hopeless on Whatsapp or similarQuote:

Javids competence is up for debate. What isn’t up for debate is he’s baw deep in the same croneyism as the rest of them, lobbying for face mask contracts for his mates despite them having no previous experience.Quote:

something else that appeared to get buried a tad over the weekend, except by very small minority of outlets
Almost 600m NHS home Covid tests unaccounted for, auditors reveal | NHS | The Guardian
Almost 600m lateral flow tests given to the public in England may not yet have been used, according to a report that says the hugely expensive test-and-trace system is still bedevilled by problems.
Harding is a cert to get the NHS gig i reckon, the PoS at the top will let her take the flak whilst privatisation creeps up even more
Latest poll sees the polling lead for the Tories drop to nine points, Tories down two, Labour up three.
If you want to hear a prime example of populist politics in action just listen to PMQ's.
Starmer holds up the dead cat, Johnson chucks a dead dog on the table. Starmer holds it up, Johnson produces a dead donkey.
It's painful.
This might be one of Johnson's worst PMQs. He never really answers the question but now he's just lying, not answering the question, repeating his previous 'zingers' and mentioning the vaccine campaign when it's in no way related to the question.
Depressing stuff.

I know this is supposed to show how LBC is powerful within the UK and that callers can play their part in democracy by sharing their stories, but unfortunately they also air Johnson's reply of "We will continue to errr...errr..put our arms around businesses". In other words "we'll keep doing what we're doing and dodge the question".
It shows that democracy is dying in this country.

It sounds like the new Health and Care bill will be presented to the Commons on Tuesday. At no point are the words ‘we are selling off the NHS’ going to be uttered, but watch this space. It all depends on how it’s reported, but if it’s widely apparent that a wee sneaky acceleration to the (already underway) sell off happens, at these times of all times, and they stick with a 1% pay rise, and the Tories poll ratings STILL stay high, everybody may as well pack up and let them get on with it.

Is the state pension paid from income tax? I thought it was from the superannuation bit, like putting money into a savings account for a rainy day.
https://www.theguardian.com/money/20...on-triple-lock
The triple lock was supposed to be legally binding until 2024.
It’s paid from general taxation. There is zero money put aside. Tomorrow’s pensioners will be paid by tomorrow’s workers.Quote:

An armed siege? A terrorist munitions factory? No, just the Police breaking into our studio building in Haggerston on Friday 25th June because there is a sculpture on the roof that Priti Patel doesn’t like. https://t.co/4p8X1GD2fs
An art studio, with a sculpture on the roof which looks similar to structure used by extinction rebellion 🙄
I counted over 40 officers of various degrees of tooled up-ness going into that building. I wonder what that costs. I wonder if there’s other stuff they could be doing instead.Quote:

Do individual officers never question some of the acts they are ordered to carry out or are they just glad of the overtime regardless of who the victims are.Quote:

Agreed, especially one that required the police (some armed) to break into the property mob handed.Quote:

I'd imagine, if the structure was previously used to commit an offence, there may be some concerns that it would be used for the same purpose again. Like being in possession of a gun previously used in a murder.Quote:
