As pointed out in the headline in Thursday’s Daily Star – Williamson seems to have been on holiday for weeks. I am sure they will find ways to ensure that the competition of clown of the week is as fierce s usual. This week we had a backbencher – Elphicke make a bid for a medal, not satisfied with trying to pervert the course of justice by using her status as an MP to support the defence of a colleague against sexual harassment, she also suggested that Marcus Rashford should concentrate on football. Perhaps she should concentrate on supporting the people in her constituency.
I suspect the government will start making noises about how terrible the debt is, in preparation for more cuts to public finances and possible tax rises – although these will be avoided by the rich. We will here how the terrible EU are not allowing Bozo to alter the agreement he signed, his claim seems to be that he never meant the signed agreement to be permanent or legally binging; and didn’t the EU know he was a liar and untrustworthy?
I fear for COP26. Johnson will pontificate at length, make lots of vague unverifiable promises and then take a helicopter back to wherever it is that he last crawled from. Diplomatically it could be very difficult for him. He has obviously fallen out big time with the EU. Joe Biden is watching the Northern Ireland situation with a keen eye and not much sympathy. We are not on good terms with China, and whilst he may be best buddies with Bolsanaro, Brazils record on anything remotely environmental is appalling. And then Australia where they are digging up coal as fast as possible whilst ruining the Great Barrier Reef. I guess he gets on well with the dictatorships of the Middle East but that will not help.
he will also talk bollocks about electric cars. It is estimated that we need between 280.000 and 480.000 charge points by 2030 (Eight years). At present we have 25.000 with huge regional differences. London has 80/100.000, whilst Scotland (43), Wales (27) and NI (17) and even the average for England is only 34. France, Germany and The Netherlands and Norway (with a much smaller populations) all have more charging points than the UK.
