Lots of but no one is producing said figures. Come on. If Britian is doing great and the EU is doing crap, or vice versa - where are your figures? N.B. show your working....

He can have a nice place. I'm more than happy for him to have a nice place.

Taking illegal bungs, that evade tax, and break the ministerial code, from donors wanting leverage, is not the right way to go about it though.

This is one argument why leaders should be highly paid and have all these things as part of the job, to remove temptation or at least make it a lot more expensive. It should cost millions to buy the PM's favor!
However this is all conjecture anyway. 'Allegedly' as they used to say on HIGNFY

Germany dispensed twice as many vaccines as the UK yesterday. The UK's vaccination miracle is waning by the day.

Mods - Shouldn't this be in the Brexit forum, rather than polluting this thread with off-topic Europhiliac crowing?

It's not like getting behind Peter Sutcliffe being a good lorry driver, you complete helmet.

We're on a growth route while the rest of Europe is set to enter a recession according to latest figures.

I look forward to seeing it.

I think the thing they got right is quite a big thing though. I'd rather have a vaccinated nation with a fish shortage and Boris in a nice flat. Why shouldn't he have a nice place anyway.

No fish shortage the EU is randomly turning away deliveries so we will probably have a glut soon.

I do really wonder why as Downing street is probably listed why the upkeep isn't treated like a national cost.

Sadly neither side of the house are doing well on the integrity front, so it's a case of a glass house of Commons. iirc Labour have one of their MPs in court either this month or next month over housing fraud.

Reduce the number of MPs, pay them more and give all standard MPs the same basic expense budget except for travel between their constituency and London. If they reside somewhere other that their constituency, then they're out of touch with it and should be moved on. Won't happen but should.

That's right. The government get ONE thing right, yet people keeping moaning about the many many things they've screwed up so badly, their cronyism, the flagrant wasting of tax money etc. etc. Why can't people get behind this one success? Miserable lot.

Vexit!!!

Meanwhile, remoaners are complaining about a man in a boat having to fish elsewhere while the majority of people are far more bothered that we're smashing it on the vaccine front. Log off.

Indeed and there's an awful lot to crow about these days.

Yep chicken tulip!

Who is this Lord Moylan chap anyway?
