The fella who set up Just Eat, a bit of irony there.

A bit more window dressing.
Similar to when they had that High St Tsar Mary Portus ( Think that was her name) haven't seen much improvement.

NI Protocol - in any negotiation if the other side is led by an individual proven to have lied regularly and opportunistically; there is absolutely no basis for trusst. Neither the DUP/ERG hardliners, or the EU, trust this UK government, both their positions are therefore almost immovable and increasingly entrenched, resulting in stalemate.

The 'oven-ready' deal is now mouldy and stale, wonder what the 14 million who optimistically voted for it are thinking.

The UK government isn't serious about negotiating, or even governing. All that matters is putting on a performance for the benefit of its ever dwindling band of supporters.

Difficult to come to any other conclusion based on the evidence, which also must be apparent to Tory MPs. The chance to reset wasn't taken, instead a vote of confidence given to the clown show, probably more in hope that the 'ever dwindling band of supporters' will still be sufficient in getting them over the line next GE. Farce.

This is the unfortunate place we site currently as a country. Hamstrung by a government so incompetent and lacking in any desirable talent or fore thinking or creativity that we all suffer the consequences.

Part of the issue with Northern Ireland for Johnson and his incompetent bunch of comedians is that Northern Ireland is the proof that brexit was not only bad but made significantly worse by his over ready deal for the UK

A thoughtful article by Andrew Neil with reference to the Assange extradition case.

Agree. It's power for power's sake, not power to be used to improve the lot of the people. Chaos everywhere.

It seems odd talking about the coal industry these days, we do forget sometimes the Britain was fortunate to be built on the stuff, greatly responsible for the prosperity of the country for over 100 years.
Now much angst among some about the opening of just one open cast mine in Cumbria.
Yep, you'd think the Greens would be celebrating Thatcher for having closed down the mines.

Yes. He thinks that by creating positions like this, the public will think the problem will soon be solved. It also allows him to deflect criticism by saying that he has already acted by employing the said Tsar.
Of course it's all a load of tosh. A nothingness.
