Westminstenders: Tachographs and Empty Shelves

[pointythings]

So Grant Shapps' solution to the shortage of lorry drivers is to allow them to drive longer hours.

Leading to more accidents and deaths on the UK's roads. But Brexit is Job Done and all is well - isn't it?

The uncalled for and unfeasible hubristic bridge/tunnel between Scotland and Ireland has also been axed for now - its £15 billion and then some price tag too much for the Treasure to thole, when it's having to push through an unpopular NI increase to raise just £13 billion

Though, per the same site, Dom thinks Bloody Stupid Johnson will keep plugging what he, Cummings, describes as “the world’s stupidest tunnel”.

Freud would have a theory about that.

A roundabout under the Isle of Man? Blimey.

3.2% inflation

So, even de Spaffle thinks Patel is turning us into the Saudi Arabia of penal policy. And thinks that's a good thing.

And nothing says that Brexshit is going brilliantly more than having Michael Gove head up a taskforce to try and ensure we don't all starve...

They will try and avoid interest rate rises if they can as it will affect the housing market. The food inflation is going to hit those on low incomes hard and there will be another rise in demand for food banks .

They will try and avoid interest rate rises if they can as it will affect the housing market.

We've just fixed our mortgage (reducing monthly payments by £1) for 10 years - until it's paid off.

Truss: beloved of Conservative members.

Says it all

According to the Sky pundits, she is seen as a more acceptable alternative should BJ be pushed fall under a bus

Makes Shakespeare a Welshman…

dusts off the Tripartite Indenture once again, makes some small amendments

Looking at Foreign Secretaries over the last 50 years:

Alex Douglas-Home
James Callaghan
Anthony Crosland
David Owen
Lord Carrington
Francis Pym
Geoffrey Howe
John Major
Douglas Hurd
Malcolm Rifkind
Robin Cook
Jack Straw
Margaret Beckett
David Milliband
William Hague
Philip Hammond
Boris Johnson
Jeremy Hunt
Dominic Raab
Liz Truss

The rot set in with BJ, was partially restored with Jeremy Hunt and then diminished again with Raab and now Truss .

Not saying that I necessarily agreed with the politics of all of the previous Foreign Secretaries but at least they were strong intellects who understood the diplomacy required.

The contrast is an indictment of the calibre of the current (and recent) incumbent(s)

Brexshit bonus!

For Ireland, obviously...

@AuldAlliance

Liz Truss as Foreign Secretary. No comment.

This 🙁

The Brexshit Broadcasting Corporation is staying true to form...

They seem to forget that with the internet and social media, these things can be captured and then go viral.
