His get out is the Tories barely had a majority for the past 12 years. Problem is when they didn’t have a majority they were markedly better than they have been since they’ve had a majority. Even under May they were more effective at governing. I don’t think that is the defence he thinks it is.

The 2 years of Covid thing is bollocks too. If ever there’s an opportunity for a government to shine in government it’s in a time of crisis. The problem is the crisis is the government.

Nope.
IF he did have enough votes he was definitely given or promised something pretty good to drop out. No way does someone like Johnson do something for the good of others. he does things for his own benefit and gratification - nothing else.

What about the other countries? It looks a bit selective.Is that you Tony ?!. There might be a small part but probably tiny in grand scheme of things
This was on a finance programme I saw the other day (im a dull man I know !) I think France and Spain are around 7-8% due to government assistance/suppression of energy costs. I’ve not fact checked but recognise the Holland and Germany numbers

Yeah, I presume they were showing the worst hence my additional comment about France and Spain.

When are the Tories going to take responsibility for what their demonisation of asylum seekers results in?

They should but they won't and I would be amazed if the rhetoric changes. It's shameful.When are the Tories going to take responsibility for what their demonisation of asylum seekers results in?

Gavin Williamson a bully and Sunak appointed him a minister anyway. Same old Tories.

Not just that but he was absolutely terrible in all his other Cabinet roles. Sacked for criminal incompetence at the MoD and so bad as Education minister that even Johnson had to let him go.

The morals of Alan Bastard and the cunning of Mr. Bean.
He just sounds like a nasty piece of work….chief whip is the only role for him (if he’s got to be around cabinet at all)

That's certainly the feeling regarding his inexplicable ability to fuck everything up repeatedly and somehow stick around.

I'm always slightly dubious of the unemployment figures, seems to be regular changes to how they're measured and not sure they really allow you to make much of a comparison. You can be on a zero hours contact barely getting any hours and be classed as employed as far as the figures go.
The different sets of figures, unemployment, employment, payrolled, economically inactive etc don't always seem consistent with each other.
For example in the latest figures the employment rate fell but the number of payrolled employees and self employed rose

Like you say, it depends on how you measure it with things like zero hours contracts screwing the data. When you quote the employment rates zero hours contracts should be quoted hand in hand as should the amount of people working who claim in work benefits at it tells you a lot about the quality of employment in the UK.

I see another one of Boris’ madcap vanity projects has been dumped. The Royal Yacht is no more. Was set to cost at least £250M. Wonder if it’s already cost us millions without happening like most of his hare-brained ideas.

its seems to mean finishing the bit connected to London and then abandoning the rest of the project.
