I'm neither upset, nor reactionary. Are you saying that all people claiming benefits are genuinely unable to find employment? It's a silly question. How can anyone really have a sensible answer to that? I know from my own experience people utterly reliant on benefits, people who struggle and refuse handouts out of pride, and families who work 3 or 4 jobs and barely afford to pay bills. I have no doubt there are some on the breadline. My point was that I'm not being reactionary in suggesting that it's sensible to review a policy to understand if its still fit for purpose or if amendments and improvements are necessary. In my opinion, the benefits system is abused by some and I see no issue in closing that avenue down. My concern would be where any saved money ended up. I would not trust the Tories to get it to the most needy families like the ones you rightly point out are struggling.

The Met will now investigate. They have been in touch with Sue Gray so something has been found by the seems of things Mind you, the cynic in me thinks that this allows Boris to stonewall further by saying wait for the police investigation. Well....?

Well....? No offence, easy call. Its farcical, of course, because he's basically saying 'let's wait to see if they find enough sh** on me that I know I'm guilty of already, having actually done all of this myself'. But hey ho, who doesn't love a bit of a criminal

But hey ho, who doesn't love a bit of a criminal Sorry, I need to wait for the police investigation to know if I'm offended or not. Happy to post on here again once I've been told by the Met. 😎

Boris fires a question about drug taking back at the Labour front bench
Cant say Johnson misled Parliament, but can insinuate the opposition front bench are involved on drug taking

So Boris went to meet his chums in the 1922 committee after his statement and actually tried referencing how he 'almost died' from covid and promised better relations.
Does this man know no boundaries?
Absolutely disgusting.

Does this man know no boundaries? Absolutely disgusting. Apparently, according to Sky, left with them in hysterics and eating out of his hand.

He probably went in there cracking a load of racist jokes and they lapped it up

Big losses on PPE. "Here is the excerpt from the DHSC annual report: “The Department estimates that there has been a loss in value of £8.7 billion of the £12.1 billion of PPE purchased in 2020-21." The impairment relates to £0.67 billion - "PPE which cannot be used, for instance because it is defective." £2.6 billion - "PPE which is not suitable for use within the health and social care sector but which the Department considers might be suitable for other uses (although these potential other uses are as yet uncertain)." £0.75 billion - "PPE which is in excess of the amount that will ultimately be needed." £4.7 billion - "Adjustment to the year-end valuation of PPE due to the market price of equivalent PPE at the year-end being lower than the original purchase price." In other words the DHSC paid above the odds for more PPE than was needed, tons of which are not fit for purpose. A jaw dropper, even in jaw-dropping times." www.itv.com/news/2022-02-01/covid-government-discloses-87-billion-of-losses-on-ppe
