Has anyone heard Robert Jenricks interview with Nick Ferrari on LBC this morning,

FUCKING HELL

The bent bastard

Should have been out of a job a long time ago. Again similar to the states, we’re normalising things here now that would have been scandals just a decade ago.

I've heard a couple but I don't think I've heard that one. The Andrew Marr "another Minister" decided was remarkable. "Honest Bob"

Jenrick's one of the worst Tories for me and he should have been sacked after breaching lockdown. I thought it was odd at the time that not much was made of his breach but the left-wing papers must have known about Cummings, and seem to have made the strategic decision to go after him more than Jenrick. Bad move imo - I don't think Jenrick would have survived the Cummings storm.
 
They are going after Khan via TFL now - this is a clear land grab - they can't lay a glove on Starmer at PMQ's where he shows Johnson up for the clown he is so they are going after his power base. The fact that they are prepared to "break" Manchester and London over this speaks volumes about the organised crime racket the Tory Party has become
 
I just said the very same thing to Mrs Ewing over my Dorset Cereals granola - 'When are the next mayoral elections in GM? The fellah's a failed politician at Westminster and, like a couple more, they eye these mayoral elections as a nice little earner. Andy is tailor made for this kind of job. I heard he was offering Boris the option of banning PL football from Mcr once a month with the game being forfeited 0-3!
To be fair I like him and I voted for him
But I also know of a lot of people getting Covid and I think this political game playing is poor from all sides

Next May
 
I Walked past my local Wetherspoons the other night and saw 5 middle aged (50plus) blokes having a pint around one table
The fact they are clearly not from same household and not giving the slightest fuck just makes my blood boil.

Andy burnham is basically chasing more money (rightly or wrongly) for fair reasons but surely someone of importance locally needs to call out the huge huge numbers of people taking the piss
It’s fine wanting to be re-elected as they all do but they are all asleep at the wheel
 
To reiterate though, there is no reason why the government has withheld the 60m, there is nothing stopping them from doing so. Whether Burnham says yes or no is actually meaningless to what the government can do if they want to. They’re essentially trying to pay for local political support and are willing to risk people’s lives and livelihoods for not getting it.
It's not witheld

Cummings, Jenrick, Hancock and Williamson would all have gone; either sacked or forced to resign under any other government.

This government lack any kind of moral obligation or basic decency. They're an embarrassment to this country and their incompetece on top of that is doing untold damage.
