You heard it here first, Brexiteers don't care about the economy.

Regardless, since you continue to trumpet every tiny bit of (government subsidised) investment as a victory for Brexit, I think it's only fair we continue to point out the much larger investments we're missing out on because of it.

You do know that the Intel investment will be subsidised too?

It’s not that leave voters don’t care about the economy, it’s just that the economic argument around Brexit was yours, all that Brexiteer talk about sovereignty and immigration was supposed to make people like me look silly in the face of the severe economic harm that Brexit would inevitably bring.
So forgive us if we trumpet every tiny (and large) bit of investment the U.K. gets, it reminds everyone how wrong some people got the Brexit argument.
It’s early days, but I’m more than content with Brexit so far.

Allegations today that Johnson and Carrie had a friend stay over at Christmas, breaking lockdown rules. I assume he'll be resigning if it turns out to be true?

Like Cummings did? Will never happen.

He probably took advice from Dom Cummings and Prof Neil Ferguson.

I thought Bunter and Carrie were denying this one.

They're denying it, doesn't mean it's not true. We will wait to see if it can be proven either way. The precedent from cabinet members who break the rules is to resign of course.

We need to establish the facts but if they did break the rules they imposed on the rest of us the great unwashed I am going to be very angry indeed.

Will it matter though?
After all, did the great guru Cummings resign over THAT trip? Did he 'eck as like!
It took a major hissy fit with his boss (or, more likely the boss's missus) over a perceived personal slight for him to eventually "do the right thing".
Haven't you realised yet Al...the roolz never apply to the "great and the (not so) good"

It's the usual tabloid hypocrisy. As if the public at large were keeping to the rules all the time every day.

But the great British public don't make the rules.
