so, after declaring that the UK only imports 4% of the UK's needs as Russian gas ...

 

He uses the need for gas as an excuse to let his croneys and pals (and of course mollify his right-wing) re-introduce poisenous fracking

As you imply, it's carrying on the culture of using expensive call centres with inadequately trained staff.

How can the process and call centers be so expensive .. when the working (however poorly) staff get paid so little

.. and so little effectively gets done...

allegedly Patel isnt the worst monster in the pack

 

“The problem is No 10 – the PM and [chief of staff] Steve Barclay – who are personally slapping this down,” one source told the broadcaster."

 

"Home secretary Priti Patel has come in for fierce criticism from both Conservative and Labour MPs for her response to the Ukraine refugee crisis and the insistence on visa requirements.

 

Downing Street intervened to stop a plan by Ms Patel to open up a new “humanitarian route” for refugees fleeing the war, according to Sky News, citing government sources."

Johnson will have seen this war as an opportunity to get back to his blustering waffle speeches taking pressure off the lack of delivery off the partygate report and all his many many other failures of state

 

... but waffling bluster is all hes spouting, self aggrandizement with largely sod all delivered

..... as always

 

Turkey is more important than the UK in the Ukraine invasion

 

 

all the while Putin will be trying to consolidate what hes got so far, drive out the Ukrainians and fiddle a managed corrupt 'independence referendum' in more areas.

It looks as if another of our predictions could come true. Ministers are looking at allowing banned pesticides.

 

This worries me; if crops can't be pollinated because there are no bees, how does the country feed itself unless it relies hugely on imported food.

The American perspective   Russia’s war in Ukraine has finally led the British government to target ultrawealthy Russians in London. But curbing the flood of corrupt money will require going after more than the highly visible oligarchs such as Roman Abramovich.

Hundreds of wealthy foreigners have exploited Britain’s lax regulations to amass property and other assets, often under a web of offshore companies that disguise their ownership. Others have parlayed their fortunes into gilt-edged social status, endowing revered British cultural and educational institutions or donating money to the Conservative Party.

Despite announcing new sanctions on Friday, Britain, on some level, is simply catching up with the U.S. and the E.U. Though Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, has pressed hard for action against Russia, including removing its banks from the SWIFT financial transfer network, he has been slower to target London’s rich Russians. That, critics say, reflects the fact that his party has been the beneficiary of their largess.   - New York Times

Yes, interesting that the populist 'Tories go tooth and nail at a single lefty Labour MP for even the slightest donation from a dubious character, yet it seems that the vast majority of the Populist 'Tory leadership are in the pockets of wealthy Russians and Arabs (who are supporting the Russians) and seem to be moving heaven and earth to protect them in British tax havens

The Spectator has a summary of David Frost's lecture in Zurich last night.

 

They think his tone was warm over repairing relations and working together but he still managed to get in the 'sovereign nations' bit. He did admit Britain had been too purist over refusing a 'youth movement' scheme with the EU but not much else. I wonder if he's considered his contribution to the souring of relations...

[mantis shrimp]

Mr Frost ignores his role. He claims to have known there would be costs, but was happy to dismiss mention of them as 'Project Fear'. He says the Withdrawal Agreement and NI Protocol were imposed on us - but forgets that he and Johnson had a political imperative to get a deal done, indeed to get any deal done. 

 

Like Johnson, Farridge and all the other Putin-funded supportersof shafting our country, Mr Frost has absolutely no integrity.
