Senior officer on Graham Linehan: “It’s a combination of officers not knowing how to use their discretion any more, leadership convinced that it has to impose morals on the population and a load of idiotic laws that need to be repealed. A disaster 30 years in the making.”

So the #Budget is being delayed by a month. Another 4 to 5 weeks of uncertainty as this pathetic, incompetent government trashes the economy. #TwoTierKier has just ' reset ' Downing Street. That's like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. We need a snap election to undo

#Rayner #Sleaze sagas almost invariably end in resignation. It's like Groundhog Day. Politician gets caught - politician says he/she has done nothing wrong - politician refuses to resign - politician resigns. Angela #Rayner is now floundering as she struggles to keep her head

The singer-songwriter LIly #Allen says the only ' acceptable ' time to fly the St George's Cross is during football tournaments. So why is it unacceptable at other times Lily ? Just because ' celebrities ' like you say so ? Stick to the songwriting.

Nadine #Dorries defects to #Reform. Now there's a surprise.

#Rayner La commedia è finita!! It was inevitable once the story broke that Angela Rayner was on borrowed time. Just like the #Toryscum miscreants she hounded to their political graves when she was opposition revelation after revelation laid Rayner low. By the time she resigned

The number of possible candidates to become Deputy Leader of the #Labour party seems to be growing by the minute. Hard left, soft left, moderate, centrist right-wing, northern, southern, Asian......... It might be easier to compile a list of who DOESN'T want to stand.

The head of the #Met, Sir Mark #Rowley, insists that under existing law the police must investigate potentially ' offensive ' tweets. He says their hands are tied and Parliament must change the law to give police more discretion. Government ministers meanwhile say officers can

#Undergroundstrikes How long before the Government gives in?

-Chancellor who lied on her CV. -Deputy leader who fiddled her stamp duty. -Transport secretary who was convicted of fraud. - Ambassador to the US who was best friends with a paedophile pimp. Remind me again, who is it that's the party of sleaze?

After #Rayner comes #Mandelson Two very different people of course but both exposed as #Labour sleazeballs. Rayner didn't last long after the #Telegraph nailed her; #Mandelson will be on his bike soon too. The Rayner saga was poorly handled by the Prime Minister and he'll be

The #Russian drones over #Poland show just how cocky #Putin has become since #Trump gave him the red carpet-treatment in Alaska. Putin has called the West's bluff because he knows #Trump is all mouth and no trousers. He won't even stiffen US sanctions on Russia so Putin will

Peter #Mandelson is monumentally unsuited for public office. A serial resigner in #NewLabour days, he once again leaves the field in total disgrace. Quite simply Mandelson lacks a moral compass. That Keir #Starmer appointed him Ambassador in Washington despite all the warnings

President #Trump says the incursion of #Russian drones into #Poland " could have been a mistake ". When will he stop making excuses for #Putin ? Before he returned to the White House he boasted that he'd end the #Ukraine war in 24 hours. That turned out to be the joke of the

I see reports Downing Street is briefing that Keir Starmer has full confidence in his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney. Given the PM’s record that suggests he will not be long in his current post. 😂

I hear the sound of distant drums. They're getting louder. The media are moving in on Morgan #McSweeney. Is another #Labour head about to roll ? #Starmer will no doubt declare his total confidence in his chief of staff. Which means McSweeney will be on his bike 24 hours later.

The boutique left - the unions, Labour, the SNP, the Greens - all made this happen. Some of us have been warning them for years that when you’re knee-deep in luxury, middle-class elitism this is what could happen

Don’t worry, not long now folks.

Who'll be the first to lose his job ? Keir #Starmer or Ruben #Amorim ? Both by Christmas ?

#ManchesterDerby It's time to admit it. Appointing Ruben #Amorim as United manager was a mistake. Whether it's his much-vaunted system that's not working or his expensively-assembled playing squad aren't good enough to make it work, Amorim is a dead duck. His post-match
