Boris said that even if there was a vote of no confidence he'd not step down.

He really is a shit, pound shop Trump.

to be fair, he can't exactly announce that he would step down if there was a VONC, that's pretty much an invitation to do it..

He'll only bounce on his terms, when he can claim victory over Covid and Brexit, by whatever crazy metric he feels qualifies 😆

I think there should be a vote, and the votes should be taken with a fucking crossbow.

Perhaps I never was cut out for politics...

This reminds me the M20 is going back to being a shithole as of next week I think. They're moving those temporary Brexit contraflow barriers to the middle of the motorway (I'm guessing to free up the hard shoulder) and this will take an entire year. :cry:
How about not having a sig at all?

Re importation of goods. We're holding off on a mailing as a container is stuck in customs - from the usa - usual consignment but stuck as there's so many staff off with covid. Thats more than likely holding all imports up so not just an eu issue.

I honestly think he's weathered this storm and now all people really want is to make sure they don't run out of money and the economy picks up. The rest is immaterial unless you've an agenda, which to be fair, most of the media do - nothing is more news worthy than crisis, fear and they absolutely love it.

Food prices are only going to rise this year, so those on lower incomes are definitely going to struggle with that one.

Come on Gav, everyone knows that people on low incomes are layabouts who should've worked harder.

Time to buy a 'Tin can cook' book.

I did hear her speaking the other day saying years ago budget supermarket food is now around 30 percent more expensive even tho most items have come down in price its the lower end thats increased.

The pain never came with the country locked down mainly on decent money with nothing to spend it on. Its got to start to hurt eventually.

I think it might.

Given all of the shit-storms him and the government have weathered over the last 2 years, this one is nothing to them. Having a party? Slap on the wrist, £100 fines all round and move on.

Its a highly emotional issue for anyone who lost loved ones during lockdown, but its not like they've been caught awarding multi-million pound contracts to their mates or anything?

This is all very much like Trump's time where lies just don't matter and the more often they get away with it, it just becomes the norm.
Cheers,

Mike.

Time to start chopping down trees to heat your home in the face of astronmical energy price rises too, eh? :lol:

Everyone will feel the pinch financially in the basics of living, or you'll notice more 'shrinkflation' like the chocolate bars that used to be 100g are now 90g, or Walkers changing the multipacks from 24 to 22.

A lot of people need to be educated about home heating as I’d say most couldn’t run a home efficiently if their life depended on it.

The entire planet warming issue I put solely down to women and their inability to understand how heat works.

If Boris had married Gary instead of Carrie we would have not been in this mess.
