Are people really discussing Boris Johnson as possible candidate for PM? When I lived in London he was known as the gaffe man!

If Dido Harding was made to give back the £12billion for the track & trace that doesn't work, the Government could give every pub in the land £100,000, pay off the overspend of all local authorities and buy the (working) German trace system and still have £4billion left!

A reminder to all Americans that the net effect of our prime minister catching COVID-19 was that it prompted a surge of patriotic support. From which he emerged with renewed popularity. Which enabled him to tear up key functions of the state

I worry that this seismic change to our constitution is not being given the attention it urgently warrants. So I'll say again:

The government wants to abolish jury trials in order to address a court backlog caused by its own cuts, under the pretence that it was caused by Covid.
