It is incredible that the person behind the leave campaign on the premise of taking back sovereignty seems to have little interest in sovereignty.

He wanted it to be his Churchill moment, especially with it being so close to VE day.
The big week long build up.
Everyone waiting to hear Boris the saviour put an end to lockdown so we could see our friends and family again.
But then the public reaction to the leaks meant he absolutely couldn't do that, it's not what the people wanted. But with this big build up for the speech he had to do something, or it'd look daft.
Which is why we got that absolute farce of a speech.

It must be extremely annoying, and I imagine there are many in the LGBTQ who feel the same.
But it does also work the other way. When I hear reference to 'white people' there are plenty of white people I'd be horrified to be lumped in with. Same with women referring to men as if we're all the same. It's lazy. Just an assumption if you're white/male you get all the breaks. Just because those with privilege are almost solely white and male doesn't mean being white and male equates to privilege.

I saw one of those sympathy for Boris posts on facebook earlier, laughable.
It’s a complex topic but if you’re white and male you’ve objectively got an advantage in several respects. That’s not to say there aren’t some areas we’re worse off in like underperforming in schools. However, many of the advantages between different groups are dwarfed by the advantages offered by class. So, if like many of us, you’re a white working class male, it certainly doesn’t feel like we’ve got any advantages and what we’ve got are hard to perceive because we haven’t experienced the other side of the coin.

Was watching the news reports of the protests in America last night and I happen to have been listening to a podcast about how much the Russians used social media to interfere with the American election and our referendum earlier in the day. Got me thinking, I wonder how much of the stuff on social media now is them stirring it up?

23 bus drivers dead already, those buses are deadly.
I've said for many years what a dreadful state London is in, it is prohibitively expensive for most people to live near central London where the jobs are, thus meaning that public transport is a must. They've had to contend with terror attacks and now a deadly virus. All while 40 years of UK governments cream themselves over the financial sector and London's 'economic powerhouse' status.

They would be but the trouble in practice is it all gets lumped in the pot. NI was supposed to be a hypothecated tax to pay for social security and hen later the NHS. Vehicle tax is supposed to only be used for road improvements. Never works out that way.

I still love London but one of the best decisions I ever made was to leave. Was working full time in central London and that barely covered my rent and travel card. 2 hours commuting every day to come home to pasta again and bed just to get up and work again. No cash to do anything at the weekend. It was soul destroying.

I agree entirely. Nice place to visit. Sure as hell wouldn't want to live there.
PMQs - Boris floundering and unable to answer the question already.
Starmer states that there was 18,000 excess deaths in care homes in April but the government says 8,000 were as a result of Corona. He asks Johnson where the other 10,000 came from, and Johnson has no answer.

If you have the test and it comes back negative I suggest seeing your doctor about it potentially being stress related.

Starmer has gutted him yet again
The questions on extra care home deaths was devastating for him.

Turf Parliament out to MK or somewhere. Give it a semicircular chamber and turn the palace into a museum of democracy and the British state.

I made an effort to watch some...
It is ultimately irrelevant as there are years to go before an election, but Boris is being methodically dismantled, does he just not care or something as he knows its ages before the next election?

Just listening to Prime Ministers Questions at this crucial time. The local Tory MP for Clywd asked whether the Prime Minister could congratulate the Llangollen Steam Railway for their efforts at this difficult time. Unbelievable that Boris's MPs trying to waste PQT to avoid scrutiny of the cabinet.
