Fwiw Mo Farah would not have been allowed to stay. Nice to see it only 'may' break international law.

Can’t believe I’d not heard this before… 👏 I thought someone posted it last year? "The othering of people". Good line. Anyway, HS2, anyone surprised? Budget due soon, apparently there is some wriggle room for Jeremy Hunt. Watch out for the drip feed of good news over the weekend. |

So Lord Sugar is allowed to attack an opposition politician personally and in the BBC’s mind it’s ok but Gary Lineker criticises an element of government policy and he’s taken off the air.
What’s even worse is all the right wingers and tories baying for Lineker’s blood despite continuously claiming to be so offended by cancel culture.

So why the need for the Sue Gray report? So I take it you fully support a "politically neutral" civil servant being appointed by Starmer. If so would you have supported it if the Tories made such an appointment. Who asked Sue Grey to investigate, was her or her son's affiliations known and did you have a problem with Cameron offering a post to General Dannatt as his defence adviser while he was still Chief of the General Staff? Plenty of precedent on both sides. Indeed stuart. Just off the top of my head, Bernard Ingram worked as a civil servant under Wilson before becoming Press Secretary to Thatcher, Jeremy Haywood worked for both persuasions and even Jonathan Powell was Chief of Staff for Blair before becoming Cameron’s special envoy to Libya later on. That’s what civil servants do they are very capable and can work for both main parties. And before now no one within the main parties made an issue of it. The only time I can remember a real argument was when Callaghan appointed his son-in-law Peter Jay to be the British Ambassador in Washington. It’s only now that the Tories are making a fuss. Perhaps trying to deflect from their own ways of doing things. ps Sorry for the lateness but I’m just catching up with this. 😉 |

Busy week coming up for the government. Monday should bring an update on the US, UK and Australia submarine programme and a security review.
Then later it's the Budget, must say that Jeremy Hunt seems to have taken a back seat recently and some press reports suggesting he's coming under pressure from some backbenchers to cut taxes.
