I see Johnson is also threatening to remove from the Party whip, any Tory MP who votes against the budget.

It sounds like most of the budget has already been leaked from Number 11 to the press.

Remember the old days when it was all a complete mystery until the Chancellor made the budget speech?

I'm indifferent about Sturgeon. She's done some good stuff, done some bad stuff.

I don't think her leaving will be good for the UK though. We'll have to see who replaces her (if she goes).

China and Russia have announced their intention to build a new lunar research station together, launching a new era of collaboration in space between the two countries.
Now that's a powerful union.

That does seem bizarre that Anti-Tory Corruption is a position held by an active Member of Parliament for Weston-super-Mare. How corrupt is that. How would you actually assume that anything would be done?

So we spend the last year bankrupting the Country to keep its people alive and in work and Johnson’s next piece of genius thinking?

Let’s go build even more nuclear bombs to destroy the world - absolute tit doesn’t even begin to describe him.

I think we need to run a book on which of the remaining world economies he's going to try and isolate the country from next.
