I there an election coming up? Johnson’s speech to his deluded fans yesterday seemed like it. Why does he lambast Corbyn till? Why have a go at the Labour Party when it is doing a great job of destroying itself?

So Johnson says we will have a high wage, high skill, high productivity economy in there future. As ever nice words. With virtually zero immigration who are going to do the low wage, low skill, low productivity jobs, unless they are mostly exported?

And £30 million for school sports facilities. Have I missed something here? What is this about?

When I was a lot smaller than I am now (do not be rude please) the standard response to ‘where am I’ or ‘What’s the time’ was ask a policeman.

Th Labour Party Conference has been manipulated into being a single track party all behind Starmer. This is wrong. Labour is a broad church which should be a coalition of the left. With discussion and debate the party could come up with policies that could be tolerated by all. Purging the party of Corbynites was and is wrong, as is total dismissal of Blair and the progress that was made in many areas.

So the government finally decides that the Army truck drivers could be useful and start to be trained now, so by the weekend at the earliest and if needed. That’s decision making. Maybe a request to ask people not to make unessential journeys for a few days would have worked? Even a 2% reduction in usage would have helped if the situation is as ‘not serious’ and ‘no need to panic’ as the government tell us. The situation could also be used to encourage car sharing and reduce journeys for the environmental benefit. Also a good time to roll out investment in electric car chargers!

The only word objected to was the last!
