2 simple rules for life ;
No.1 - Never trust a tory
No.2 - Never forget rule number 1
Why have we allowed such inept incompetent ministers to run , manage ? our country...our Police, Teachers,nurses, doctors etc. Demoralised ...they have run our country down while we have been dying of apathy....
2nd jobs for MP's to gain knowledge and experience outside the world of politics are fine as long as they're in social care, HGV driving, or farm labouring.
Well said, Martin
Didn’t he set up a Ministry of Levelling Up or am I getting this confused with his Ministry of Disinformation?

Great journalist
boris jhonson told us there was a light at the end of the tunnel, he led us down that tunnel ,then went out of his way to turn off that light.
what tat saying there is always enough for the needy but never enough for the greedy
he makes a lot of sense
What a lovely fella
It's great watching Boris dig his own grave!
Don't cheer too soon. He still has a huge cult behind him
This tory lot this levelling up is more like dumbing down nothing will change austerity is still here its just behind the door while the tories fill their boots with lolly ?
Doesn't Keir (sir) have a second job giving Gibraltar legal advice, that he's paid for.???
I believe it was Machiavelli who said it is not titles that honour men but for men to honour their titles.
thought the times loved the tories
SLEAZE SLEAZE SLEAZE SLEAZE
More and more it says;
Boris Johnson: comments are turned off
Truth hurts. Boris doesn't like the truth.
