It makes it clear and obvious, almost official, that any government advice on vaccinations now cannot be trusted because whoever he puts in place will just rubber stamp his unscientific conspiracies.

No I'm just sensible.

You really should believe what he says because he will do it.
He's pushing through on manifesto commitments bill after bill after bill. Like it or not it's a quiet revolution.

I agree, and he's also very politically astute.
I think you are right about the way things are done there compared to the UK where it's been very much dumbed down.

You don't think Keir Starmer could master his brief? Really? That's what he's spent his life doing and it's exactly what he's doing now. It doesn't always make him popular but even his political opponents know it's true and that's why they keep trying to push the lie that he's incompetent.

I'm sure a lot of that group are old people and as an officially old person I'm still useful but like every other old person I know, I don't want to become a burden to my kids, it's not them it's me, I didn't bring them up to look after me so I want to choose my time to walk out into the snow.

Reducing the boats across the channel will be politically beneficial because nobody votes for more boats even if they aren't rabid anti immigration. Remove their clarion call then you can emphasise the differences with reform and how bad their policies are.

Be fair Mike, brexit was intended to take freedoms away from our youth and seperate them from Europeans so in a warped twisted pathetically brexit way, it is a betrayal.

Nah I don't think we're sucking up to Trump at all, whatever Trump says he needs to start bringing in some trade deals so now is the time to negotiate a good deal. If he doesn't come up with the goods we pull out and we've lost nothing.

Polievre's support for Trump was recognised as treachery in Canada, Farage's sycophancy towards Trump is recognised as treachery in Britain by too few people but I think the numbers are growing.

Brexit turns buggers up Kent turning it into a lorry park and they're going to vote the party of the man responsible.
You can't help some people.

It may be too late, you have to imagine Brazil would have negotiated a multi year contract.

The problem with business people running a country is that in business you give as little as possible for the highest price to maximise profit. Running a country like that leads to seeing the people as a cost and an obstacle to profit for government.

I believe that is one of the things the government intends to do and with local government reorganisation should come local transport oversight.
I must say with great respect comparing Cornwall with London takes some doing.

I've never seen bluebell in open ground like that, did someone chop down the trees?

When I got my first transistor radio as a young kid in London it had short wave, medium wave & long wave, at night I used to switch to long wave & pick up the Voice of America, in bed lights out I'd hear about all these intriguing places, it triggered my long interest in the USA, such a shame.

He pretty much encapsulated Keir Starmer's strategy with that piece.

He's a liability.
Since when did vice presidents start acting like they're anything other that a reserve, how come he thinks he's some kind of a joint president?
