The angry faces of these 'politicians' tells me how poisonous is the Left. If politics in the UK is more toxic, I'm afraid it is the hard Left. You don't have to like Boris to think the current attacks are foul. I'll
debate
again with the Left when they regain their manners.
@CazB52@danielmgmoylan@BorisJohnson Yes, they've tried it many times now, it was comparable with the labour collective outrage attack led by Paula Sherriff & Barry Sherman after Boris called the Benn bill the Surrender Act. Same when Geoffery Cox gave his advice post supreme court ruling the prorogue was unlawful.
And this is a good thing! Why? When Europe could face a major international conflict this year. When UK households face potentially crippling price rises. And when the economy of part of the UK is threatened by intolerable EU regulations.
Ministers say they want more domestic gas to cut our dependence on dear and unreliable imports. So when will they grant the permissions to drill and pump more from the North Sea?
Oh dear. Not one scientist or medical student would agree with that judgement. Zero Covid? Medically and scientifically impossible but she keeps chasing that chimera...
@Juliest101 Don't count your chickens too soon! Nasty whiff of hypocrisy now that Sir Keir has been pictured drinking at a "work event" during lockdown...

Given serious concerns about this, might you update traditional English RCs about an issue that many seem to have missed? Tradition is important to those, like me, who worship at Bristol's oldest Catholic church, St Mary on the Quay, acquired from the Irvingites in 1883.

A verifiable fact that deserves to be far better known.
Given that we now know also that the Omicron variant is fifty percent less severe than Delta, it is hard to see how the Government could justify any further lockdown moves in England.
Astonishing fact. 70% of London’s so-called “COVID hospitalizations”are diagnosed several days after admission for other ailments.
They are NOT COVID patients.
A positive test 8 days after admission means the hospital basically gave the patient COVID.
It is absurd for so many medics and politicians to generate so much concern about a variety of the virus that every piece of data say is milder than its predecessors. Project fear Mark, 5, 6 or 7! Such nonsense.
As the tree is a gift from Norway, I really don't think you should be looking the gift tree in the mouth. It represents the Norwegian gratitude for British troops having fought with the the Norwegian resistance and helped liberate their nation. They don't send one to the US!
Nigel Farage has turned himself into a very able broadcast journalist. I write as one who has spent approaching 40 years in the business; trained on newspapers; then BBC local radio, joined Radio4 and then Radio2 as newsreader for 17 years. Farage is so good on air.
