Johnson’s PMQ Meltdown

It will never cease to amaze me that the British people en-masse voted in a PM who is clearly detached from reality and decency. If Brexit was the chief motivation behind voting for Johnson’s Tories, then Brexiteers should stand by to be horribly disappointed, because we’re lurching to towards a no-deal scenario, with Brexiteers reacting […]

Brexit Reality Arrives

I was scanning Twitter this morning and I found a beauty of a tweet, from a Brexiteer no less. I'm worried about the cost of Brexit shown in https://t.co/TALA4dj6RAWe didn't vote for a Brexit that's going to cost 12 times what we paid for EU membership!

Off the Cuff

Slowly I begin my return to the working world, albeit my next day back isn’t for a couple of weeks. I’ll work two days in a row though, which will feel odd. I wonder if it will be hot and sunny by then? I’m not one to moan about the weather, but lately the poor […]
