Place your bets on what stuff gets sneaked out tomorrow in the hope that no-one notices.

You would think that if we sold everything off that we’d at least keep the network.
Generations of work from the Brit’s, sold off at the earliest by the Tories.

According to the Beeb:
Thirteen European countries have reduced fuel duty. - eleven have reduced it by more than the British government.
Some text from the report, bear in mind the UK reduction was 5p per litre:
Germany had taken the equivalent of 25p a litre in tax off per litre of petrol, Italy 21p, Portugal 16p, and both Ireland and the Netherlands had cut duty by nearly 15p.
Other governments have introduced fuel discounts that take effect when motorists are paying at forecourt tills, with Spain cutting prices by about 17p a litre and France 15p.

They’re a tax-cutting party the tories are.
Only they won’t cut fuel tax, which would benefit the vast majority, because they need our money to give it back to us in pre-election tax-cuts which will greatly benefit the wealthier.
Simple Tory thinking.

He'll see your mountain of achievements with a Brexit got Done (Disastrously) and raise you a vaccine programme after escaping the EU (with vaccine released following EU guidelines and protocols)

The government are gradually eroding all rights of protest until the only one left is industrial action
You can't even stand outside parliament and criticise those inside any more - the ones who have made the UK a painful embarrassment over the past 12 years and are looking to tighten the screws for 2 more years

So as part of the levelling up fiasco, and to hide cash for ermine scandal, a PR guru is driving the inclusion of some high profile / celebrity / showbiz "northern" honours to counterbalance the southern toffs perception.More seriously....
Boris Johnson is planning to fill the Lords with his cronies and legitimise bribery | Gordon Brown
The honours system is rife with abuse and a paper by Lynton Crosby’s firm suggesting ‘rewards’ for compliant peers proves it, says former prime minister Gordon Brownwww.theguardian.com
Any guesses?
Lord Pisscan of Govan perhaps?

Pretty unlikely that he'd accept a "vote for govt policy in everything".
Crosby is a reptile who can read our electorate very well, so he got knighted for getting Cameron's Conservatives elected. He's the origin of Johnson's dead cat approach.
