On Rishi’s big day he just fails to hold on as “next PM” betting favourite

Comments 0 Comment

It has been another big day for Chancellor Rishi Sunak as he’s announced his latest Job Support Scheme designed to top up wages of workers who have not been able to return to the work full time due to COVID19. He’s become probably the most well known and certainly the most popular member of Johnson’s cabinet and remains the leading Tory in the betting to be the next PM. This is a strange market because everything depends on the timing…

A new survey by Ipsos MORI finds 60% of Britons support that the ‘rule of six’, which makes it illegal for more than 6 people to meet, in order to control the spread of coronavirus. Less than 1 in 5 oppose the new rule (17%). However, despite government requests for people to inform the authorities if they see someone breaking the rule, few believe they are likely to do so. Seven in 10 (70%) say it is unlikely that they…

The latest move in the election, the Republican effort to fill quickly the…

Johnson’s Commons response on the UK’s COVID infection rate is really quite extraordinary

Comments 0 Comment

The clip now trending on social media I have only just seen this Commons response by the PM to LAB MP, Ben Bradshaw, who asked about the UK’s COVID infection rate compared with Italy and Germany. It really is quite remarkable that Johnson should turn this round to Britain being a “freedom loving country” This was an obvious question and he should have had a response all prepared.

A problem about enforcement remains Johnson’s failure to do anything about the Cummings lockdown breach

This is always going to be thrown back at him Quite clearly the Government is aboslutely right to bring in more restrictions in view of the ongoing rise in infections. There is a serious problem that needs to be tackled and we heard the latest contols from Johnson in the Commons. It is noteable that there is a lot more about enforcement and penalities for those who are in breach something that wasn’t so important in the early days of…

The US polling that’s putting the focus on the key group that backs Trump – evangelical Chrisitans

The above poll finding has been getting a lot of attention today with the obvious response how can people who call themselves Christians think in this way about refugees. What should not be underestimated is how central Evangelical Christains are to the re-election of the thrice-married self-confessed “pussy grabber”, Donald Trump. The White Evangelical vote is so keen on prioritising its agenda on abourtion which is why it has been ready to ignore much about thr incumbent.
