It started, I think, with IDS floating the idea of retirement at 75. He was a backbencher. Penny Mordaunt firmly denied the govt. would do any such thing.

Get a backbench nutter to float something crazy & inch toward it later. Maybe we won’t notice.

Seems veg shortages drive surprise jump in UK inflation…..so this will be the veg shortage caused by Brexit….I just despair, we are “Governed” by a cabal of incompetent, corrupt, mendacious charlatans cheered on by sycophantic forelock tuggers! bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

BORIS JOHNSON

Tories have cut the legal aid budget by over £1bn.

But the taxpayer is still footing the bill for Boris Johnson's lawyers.

RETWEET if you think is not fair.

#Partygate

in the spirit of Brexit why didn’t Wetherspoons offer Turnips instead of tomatoes for breakfast fry up mirror.co.uk/money/wethersp…

Meanwhile UK inflation in 'surprise rise' compared to that in France, Spain, Germany which is, we read 👇 'at much lower levels than in UK'

Could Johnson's Brexit be possibly ? maybe ? a factor ?

'No time to be dealing with that because 'DID HE KNOW IT WAS A PARTY !!?????' 🤡

John Ferry The Spectator Scotland runs a deficit because it's economy is far smaller and narrower than its peers & the reason behind that is that investment is far too low which impacts productivity, R&D etc and the reason behind that is UK Govt economic ideology. Got it now?

• HSBC banking profits doubled
• Shell energy profits doubled
• BP energy profits doubled
• BP CEO pay doubled
• Shell CEO pay doubled

And they tell you it is your 18 year low wage packet that is causing the inflation crisis.

Mugged in broad daylight.

This is their level...a known outright lie! The foreign gov comment was made in the context of Scotland being independent. Shameful.

Scottish Labour 'SNP in a tremendous mess ' as deliberately misquoted by the incompetent Paul Hutcheon Political Liar in Chief of the Scottish Labour supporting The Daily Record . It's BBC Scotland News, so it must be true. Spot the deliberate misquote.

So we have to pay for dividends, bonuses AND for the infrastructure to be upgraded?

Must-read new Institute for Government comment on Boris Johnson’s hearing by Hannah White

instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/privil…

One of the government’s promises was to halve inflation. It’s just jumped to 10.4%

And elements of their own party (incl Johnson) are undermining them on their Brexit deal - again.

They have very little control over anything at the moment.

'I'm struggling to come up with a way this one is in the rules...'

'Martin's worried about leaks of PM having a piss up and to be fair I don't think it's unwarranted'

Bone: Sue Gray and Keir Starmer were having discussions while the investigation was going on

Burley: No they weren't

Bone: I'm glad you corrected me
