The rat-faced Scully has abandoned the sinking shit.

Hoo fucking ray...

He said something quite interesting in fairness to him. That the government running against “London” is stupid. It’s not even effective outside London. Like they think a parent in Rochdale reacts to their kid moving to London with horror.

'Speaking truth to power'.
Every time he debased himself supporting shit on the morning newsround...

He did, and no sympathy for him. But his resignation thread is interesting. He has got it better than Sunak and everyone else. I was surprised.

Corruption hound, Andrea Jenkyns here, going after... Morley Town Council.

You owe me a new irony meter.

What meritocratic contribution to society earned Jenkyns her damehood?

More from the Minister for Common Sense. Apart from the fact this isn't Labour policy to force it on anyone (how could they?) and people are paid for the hours they do, not for the number of days on which they do them, it's spot on.

The Road to Damascus clearly doesn't run through his now legendary no-go areas.

Those crazed looney left Lib Dems. How to reorganise production to create a four day weeks has been a topic of conversation since the 80s. Lefty shirkers at the council appear to be latecomers.

Lib Dem run South Cambridgeshire Council, backed by Labour run Cambridge City Council, is wanting to move to five days pay for four days work.

This Socialist madness is obviously catching on as the PCS Union is now calling for the same for their civil service members.

Does McVey ever visit hospitals in her constituency? Because I'd guess that more than a few staff to 3 day weeks of 12 hour shifts. Does she think they should be paid more if they do their hours over 5 days?

Not that you can call any of this lot "One Nation", but it would be very funny if this came true. And of course it's not all clear that the electorate want more Lee Anderson.

Those set for Westminster include Aphra Brandreth, daughter of the ex-MP Gyles Brandreth, Katie Lam, former special adviser to Suella ­Braverman, and Luke Gardiner, a No 10 special adviser to Sunak.

Who else have they got? Hollo Holloway and Trevor Cleaver?

Party of meritocracy and equal opportunities.

Trust Brandreth to name his daughter after an obscure 17th century playwright.

And it’s also been shown in study after study to increase quality of work, job satisfaction and so on.

Oh man.

1) Bridget Philipson didn't have the Education brief in 2019.
2) Even if she did, abolishing an organisation doesn't mean you can't take advice from the person who headed it. The policy wasn't "David Bell should be shut down"
3) I think the benefit of universal free breakfasts may be overrated (what else could that money do?) But universals are by no means unknown under this government. Especially for pensioners.
4) What's an "affluent" parent anyway? One not eligible for free school meals?

And there are savings on travel time, emissions etc.

I am 62 years old and I have never had to work in a job that I don't like. It is a blessing, I know, and I am happy to crack in a full week's work, just so long as it is up to me to start when I like.

The Kreuzette, on the other hand, likes her work (some touchy-feely bollocks in Human Remains) but gets grumpy if she has to do more than four days. Therefore, she puts in an extra hour each day and has a 32-hour contract instead of the standard 40. She's happy, the company is happy, the expensive coffee shops where she hooks up with her mates are happy, the herb garden is almost all set for the coming season - it's not difficult.

Johnny Mercer is a cock. Here he goes public on... somebody having a Labour flyer through their door.
