Kwasi Kwarteng and Rishi Sunak head to head with Johnson siding with Kwasi – Rishi is much too much of a threat! I don’t much care who wins – Sunak will introduce austerity again whilst Kwarteng is a nasty capitalist to the core. He believes we retire too early, work less hours than we should and have low productivity. I am surprised he is not advocating sweat shops and child labour.

Kwasi shows that he can lie with the best of them. The Treasury said Kwarteng was making things up when he said he was in talks with them to support industry.

I think this was a film title from a few years ago, but applies to the British Public today.

Johnson states that there is no need to make misogyny a hate crime as all the laws needed are there. So why then does Priti Patel announce a new emergency number proposed by BT and then adopted as her idea? Is she saying that dialling 999 will put a woman in distress in contact with a misogynistic male police officer? Perhaps we need separate numbers for racist attacks and homophobic attacks.

Still do not understand what is going on. Yesterday 122 deaths from Covid, 6817 people in hospital with it. Over 40000 new cases. To my mind that is reasons for a bit of panic? But no – nothing from government – it is like they have accepted the 1460 road deaths in 2020 and now expect us to accept 30.000 deaths a year from Covid?

Or are the deaths reported not solely down to Covid, can someone please explain?

Presumably it was a joke when Sir Peter Bottomley asked for a pay rise as living on £81000 plus expensive was difficult!
