Ireland is around 20% renewables.
Rayner destroyed Johnson at question time. He sweated, stumbled, lied, then tried to leave the building before black rod (or whoever’s running the show)stopped him.
Mid grilling she stopped and asked him if he’s ok.

And she did it again today via an UQ Labour put down re: Boris and those No.10 lockdown parties. Tomorrow’s PMQs should be another bloodbath for BJ and the Tories who are stumbling around like drunken sailors. Mind you they’ve been like that for ages now … problem is those here in the UK are suffering as a result.
I like Marina Hyde and John Crace in the Guardian. Their articles have kept me slightly sane these past few years pre and post BRexit… Today was another cracker from both if you fancy a laugh. Seriously though, Boris and his ■■■■ leadership hasn’t been a laughing matter for a long time now.

Leadership of most countries has been a shambles during the pandemic. A full blown health and economic crisis seems to bring that out among those we expect to be perfect. Its certain Boris has lied about the No 10 parties, and in the Westminster tradition should resign for misleading parliament.
Meanwhile on the other side of the “pond” aka the Atlantic, there is a head of state who lied endlessly for over 4 years and continues to lie. Its certain he plotted to overthrow the will of the people at an election but he just strides on, doubling down on his lies.
Boris might be a hapless buffoon, but he is not the worst leader on the planet. He will be gone by the end of the week.

Oh, there’s a Melbourne Cup-sized field vying for that particular mantle. Our very own smirking shiithead of a used car-salesman would certainly be a contender. The thing holding him back would be the fact that Straya is but a pimple on the butt of the world in global terms.
How confident are you in your last sentence?

What’s you’re definition of worst?
Incompetence is one thing, but incompetence ameliorated by misuse of all the resources the first world has to offer takes the cake.
Boris has taken a lot of cake.
Boris will last, Scotty from marketing will get re-elected and you will like it.
It’s a fake, but can we all make out that it’s real…

Yesterday there was a story on the BBC about how some 18 year old in the UK had a party during lockdown, and copped a STG10,000 fine due to excessive numbers. OK, the fine was waived when they sort of took pity on the kid because he had no money. I am sure there were many such cases.
Not so the parliamentarians, they need to be fined at least STG10,000 for each breach of lockdown rules, and have it docked from their salaries.
The UK parliamentarians have an appalling history of abuse of expenses / privileges. Like the rorts by members of both sides during the Blair/Brown government which boiled up in 2009. Remember? One member even had the moat on his private estate cleaned and paid for with taxpayers money.

From afar, this is all hilarious.
So not investigating crimes that have already happened, and now we can add, only investigating crimes that have been confiremd by private, internal investigation.
If the cops ever call around to my place of work, I’ll just tell them they’ll have to wait until I’ve finished investigating myself

High Court rules VIP lane for PPE was unlawful.
More misery for the people of the UK.
The NHS, which is poorly managed and short of capacity, is close to collapse.
Before the next general election waiting-lists for treatments could reach 13m, or one Briton in five.

A waiting list of 13 metres is not very long, especially if they are socially distanced.
