What is it with old people these days? Just lazing about and sipping lattes, probably.

For Neil Peart I’d be happy to overlook any ethical considerations.

Too many. And people of Clacton got what they deserved as they voted him in.

Yorkshire Dales would be my destination

‘Operation Early Dawn’ - who comes up with the names? I’m cringing so hard my cheeks hurt!

he had entered the city centre to collect a takeaway

That’s one expensive takeway. I hope it was tasty.

Alternative headline: journalist is upset when the PM didn’t say what he wanted the PM to say

Toot-toot, moog got the boot!

How about the whole Cabinet?

A number of major forces (e.g longer lifespan and that Russian twat waging war) will continue to increase pressure on public finances like an ever tightening screw. Pretending that economic growth will solve the problem is wishful thinking, to put it mildly. Either one substantially cuts some publics service or increases taxes to a whole new level. Quite possibly both at the same time.

I’m deeply disappointed that the UK political parties wishing to have power seem only able to obfuscate things. “Let me be very clear, yadi-yadi-ya” - bullshit! It is tiring to hear only media optimised, content void word salad.

I’ve been a sceptical old git for quite some time, but perhaps I’ve still held a glimmer of optimism somewhere deep down. This election campaign has only pushed me deeper into cynicism.
