Putin is very clever. He plays the long game. There's no doubt he's testing not only our reaction to the presence of Russian ships but how the UK and EU co-operate to deal with it (or don't).

UK government debt now at 99.5% of GDP.

WTF... Did I miss something here, wasn't the point of years of austerity to REDUCE borrowing?

That chart seems to show exactly the opposite. If that's the case, while we where stripping public services where the hell has all that money gone?

In ten years they have doubled the UK debt but made it a worse place to live. Genius.

But we all know that Labour are a disaster for the economy.

The PM has appointed 16 more peers to the House of Lords, bringing the total since he was elected to 52. Many of those recent appointments are Tory donors.

The grand total in the House of Lords is 832.

The announcements have been made when Parliament is not sitting, for the second time.

There is at least one with Russian connections too.

I see Starmer is still making friends in the labour party.

He is right, it's better than no deal. I can't see any point in rejecting it despite how crap it is. There's too many Tories backing it so why not abstain or tell his MPs to do what they like? It's all a token protest anyway.

Its better to accept the Deal as is and then try and make changes if he next becomes the PM.

Fwiw I think I agree with Duke.
Whilst I'm sick to the stomach at the depletion of our country that this devolution will achieve and the prospect of the austere times ahead that will be resultant , nonetheless "No Deal" will have an even more instant impact won't it.?

Twitter is awash with Tory MPs claiming that THEY have got rid of the hated tampon tax when in fact many of them voted against its abolition just a couple of years ago.

What absolute scummy barstards this lot are. It is without doubt the worst Government in my lifetime.

I don't think they're very bright.

This is the NI Secretary.

Democracy in action

Theer are going to be riots soon.

Starmer continuing to piss people off

This is disgusting, on so many levels

Just shows what arseholes are out there exploiting the situation. If only the virus was more particular on who it attacks, scammers and scum should be at the top of the list.

And these so called public servants who seem to have to serious wedge tied up in shares with pharma companies and others associated with, funny enough producing protective equipment and lets no forget vaccines.

And who wants to bet the company doing the supply has Tory connections.

If that is true, there should be a thorough investigation & substantial punitive penalties for those responsible.
