What an outrageous response from Johnson , he is sooo out of touch - I know several elderly people who spend a lot of time travelling around on buses in the winter, that’s before the prices rocketed 😫 Bojo could set some people’s Nans on fire and they’d still vote for him. David Cameron face f**ked a pig. I would not put anything past a Tory.

Interest rates up to 1%, predictions of 10% inflation later this year.
Polling day too. 👀

One to watch.
"Wandsworth Council in south-west London has been in the Conservative Party's hands for 44 years - but Labour have had the Tory stronghold in their sights at these elections.
Our team at the count there this evening made an interesting spot when looking at the party's campaign leaflets - both Labour and the Lib Dems' literature features a picture of Boris Johnson, but the Conservative Party's doesn't.
It comes amid reports that many Conservative candidates - including those in Wandsworth - had branded themselves ‘local Conservatives’ and changed their campaign literature from Tory blue to green."
Sky News.

To be fair to the Tories, and it pains me to say it, this inflation thing isn't just a Tory or UK problem. We are just one of many countries suffering or about to.
Printing too much money (sorry quantitative easing) to get us through lockdown, suppressed wages for two years now translating into increases, shortages of goods leading to demand led price increases (I did A Level Economics) , rising petrol, gas and electricity prices, the war in Ukraine. Who knew this significant but local conflict would affect the world so much?
Every cloud has a silver lining I suppose. At least Boris will be off at the next election. There's no way he's going to put himself through all this again.
It was meant to be a larf for him to be PM. "See Daddy! I told you I'd be in Number 10!". But it hasn't been quite as much fun as he'd hoped, even with all the drinks parties.

I agree with part of your post, it ultimately if we’re supposed to blame Labour for the 08 crash then let’s stay consistent and point at the Tories for everything now. The issue is how they’ve managed it, it has been horrendous.. A lot more should be being done to help tackle these increases on especially the working class - but they’re not. The ideas of MOT every 2 years to help the issue is insulting and quite frankly dangerous.

I still can’t get over what I witnessed today , 40 odd years of watching the Gas and that topped the lot . After 10 mins and hearing of the score at Barrow I never in a million years thought it would go in our favour ! It’s was almost as unlikely as Brexit turning out to be a success 😮

Good.
"Starmer to make statement on beergate at 4pm
Sir Keir Starmer will make a statement later in relation to the police investigation into whether he broke lockdown rules.
Sky News understands that at 4pm the Labour leader will commit to offering his resignation if he receives a fixed penalty notice from Durham Police."
Sky News.

Hopefully he does the honourable thing and resigns, and then the mysterious newcomer Ceremy Jorbyn runs for leader.

The whole thing is a joke and I expected better from Starmer. Silly me. It's not on the scale of Boris's transgressions but that's not the point. He took the moral high ground and was hypocritical. Of course it's a gamble. He's thinking the powers that be will not force his hand over a stuffed crust. Especially since he must have some legal friends in very high places indeed given his previous role. Very disappointing. I suppose we should all be used to it by now. Politicians have always been like it. The difference is they always get found out nowadays and the press no longer turn a blind eye since they are not deferential at all these days.
