The green agenda is not optional. Nothing more to say.
BREXIT
More red tape, more delays, higher prices, less trade. Nice one 52%.
SPAFFING BOOK MONEY UP THE WALL
EXAMS
Williamson has gone – was he ever there? But usual chaos, confusion and lack of direction. Another cohort of children penalised by the incompetence of this government.
ENERGY BILLS
Some of the companies that have gone bust misused customers payments to the tune of at least £50 million, maybe many times that. Who pays for this mis use – the British Public via energy bills. Can we expect prosecutions? Do not hold your breath.
QUEEN CONSORT
I have a better idea – call her Camilla Windsor and her hubby Charles Windsor and do away with all the deferential, archaic royalist crap.

The cake is cooked when it looks well risen and golden; the top should spring back when lightly touched with a fingertip. Another test is to insert a skewer into the centre of the
ROYALTY
DUMB
What is this nonsense about a £200 loan to offset fuel costs? Surely the easy, targeted answer was to reinstate the £20 universal credit decrease? And whilst at it cut the bureaucracy of the winter fuel payment to OAP’s – just add it to pensions where the rich will be taxed on it.
