I think the COVID-19 effect may still be influencing BoJo’s performance and stopping him thinking clearly.

Just as well Corbyn didn't get in. He would have completely trashed the economy by paying folks not to work and closing down businesses; he would have wrecked the educational prospects of a generation by first closing the schools and then letting the unions run them; he would have made us worship a health service that isn't fit for purpose; he would have fatally and catastrophically managed a public health problem and encouraged the media to create an atmosphere of hysteria and paranoia; he would have made individuals fear their fellows as toxic enemies and hide behind masks; he would have circumvented parliament to rule by diktat and 'guidance'; he would have hung the vulnerable elderly out to dry; he would have abolished the personal assessment of risk; he would have initiated a despotism which abolished historic liberties, inverted the state / individual relationship and inaugurated state controls on individual and social life never seen before in a liberal democracy; his police forces would have bent the knee to rioters while arresting 92 year-old peaceful protesters... What other despotic things he would have done I simply cannot contemplate.
Yes, just as well that instead of the communist we got the freedom-loving, affable, blonde Churchillian democrat.

No. Another choice. Don't vote. (If you get the chance, that is; the way things are going you may not.) Delegitimize them. Parliament now shown to be superfluous in any case, not simply because of the dried cowpats hilariously referred to as the 'opposition', but because of the ease with which a political clique and its hired ponies can simply seize power and create 'law' out of thin air.

..........and there’s me thinking that these were heifers. I have now renamed the video ‘ the opposition!’

Looks like they have the edge in terms of capacity for independent thought, BW. I'm impressed by their rhetorical skills, and the one on the left's certainly got that 'forensic' look: a born leader. Just need to sort out the toileting arrangements in the HoC.

What Labour lost sight of, and why it cannot now be trusted:

My point there, KS, is that if the choice of Christmas fairy is between the one without a wand and the one without wings you take your tree to the tip.

Oh, I think that they will be very conservative with their toileting arrangements WGS, as they have many effluent friends to call on should this problem be
moooted.

With the membership pushing to the left
And leadership wanting to go to the right
There going no where
On top of this they continue to engage in open warfare on there own members
Political suicide

Ed Miliband was outstanding yesterday. In football vernacular, he tore the PM a new one.
I love that Labour are going on the attack on competence and not taking the Brexit bait. Labour needs to prioritise the voter more than the member - whatever the consequences.

Yes, he even beat Priti Patel to the 'dob your friends and neighbours' biscuit; excellent oppositioning.

I am at a loss to know why Tories are going in so hard on this rule of 6 thing - it's almost as if they are deliberately winding their MPs up.

Scrap that - I do know. Same as the Internal Market/break the law bill - to divert attention away from the shambolic test and trace operation.

Get real. Over 200,000 tests a day.
A tiny number of people get erroneously told to drive to Inverness.
These are the equivalent of the idiots who appear in local papers holding bills for tens of thousands of pounds from water/gas/electricity saying 'how can we pay'?
You don't have to. It was a balls up. Get over it.
