Bradley and a few other Nottinghamshire MPs have been making a big thing about the re-opening of the Maid Marian line but what is quite interesting is that the local council only put forward plans to re-open the line 12 months ago. Anybody would think that the council have been given the heads up at some point in 2019 that the government was looking for proposals that could fill the void left if parts of HS2 were scrapped.

There doesn't seem to be any firm timetable for re-opening the line but shit for brain Lee Anderson MP thinks that re-opening a lone that has been closed for 60 years should be very quick and very cheap.

And it isn't actually confirmed.

Devolution latest.

Oops, apologies, need to put this in context for those who are not aware. It follows this...

What did we say when the much vaunted Northern Poorhouse was first trumpeted to the world?

And so it has come to pass - all the jobs have been moved to London.

Apparently the porcine haystack gave a marvellous speech this morning. He was so rambling and incoherent that a journalist asked him if he was alright

The full speech:

[The All New KevS]

Prepare for the excuses.

"He's consumed with worry over the Covid issue. He's determined not to let it ruin Christmas for people this year."

So, why is he often shown not wearing a mask where he should, then?

"He's only human. He's the father of a young child with another on the way. He's probably worried about Carrie"

So much so that he's expressing "Buyers remorse?"

"He's doing the best he can."

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

In a century, when we're all pushing up the daisies, how will history describe the tenure and character of Prime Minister Johnson?

From the Mail Online comments, the fourth highest rated:

He is off his rocker, please people do not vote for Cons or Labour at next election we do not want party politics anymore we want people's politics. Make history by giving them the biggest reset in history and vote Reform for a new style of politics. To vote this lot in again is just repeating the gravy train and needs to stop.

Vote Reform? I think not.

[Boiler]

Prepare for the excuses.

Did anyone think "Long Covid"?

It's a dead cat to distract from the next round of NHS gutting:

Johnson explained that the “real lesson” he learned on the visit was that the popularity of the main character – who he said resembled a “Picasso-like hairdryer” – was evidence of “the power of UK creativity”. Johnson said the TV show “was rejected by the BBC and has now been exported to 180 countries” and now worth £6bn. “I think that is pure genius, don’t you? No government in the world, no Whitehall civil servant, would conceivably have come up with Peppa.”

Probably because we're not paid to think up kiddie's cartoon characters, you fucking imbecile.

Man's an absolute cunt.

I'd offer a guess that we are beyond that. There is no need to orchestrate these "diversions" because they just tumble forth every time someone opens the door to No. 10.

Couldn't manage three minutes, I'm afraid.

I tapped out after he said we produced half a dozen vaccines.

AZ, Phizer, Moderna...

What am I missing? AZ with a bit of Great British jizz to show Johnny Forrin in it?

The summing up from John Crace:

Johnson makes a real pig’s ear of winning the CBI back over
