Paul Dendle24 May 2020 1:48PMHeres what Remain voters for - an unsustainable trend of increasing trade defecits.UK net trade deficit history from 1999 - (since 1976 there has only been 1 year in which the UK has succeeded to acheive a modest trade surplus (1980)).

AnonymousPosted May 24, 2020 at 9:58 am | PermalinkI know formerly healthy people who used to go to gyms who are getting depressed and fat in lockdown who are now making themselves at risk of CV-19.Lord Sumption has the right idea. Make shielding voluntary. Get the rest of us back to normality and to work as soon as.It seems that many powerful people don't believe in their own lockdown advice.Let's not continue to destroy this country to save faces.

NickCPosted May 24, 2020 at 12:13 pm | PermalinkJR, Quite simply the government must put the UK first. Every law, every trade deal, every agreement, the question must be asked "does it benefit the UK?" on balance. Quite obviously joining the EEC/EU fails that test because no benefit is worth the loss of independence – nothing can benefit the UK if the UK ceases to exist (other than as a vaguely ethnic province of a foreign empire). It means that if you won't put the UK first you are putting the UK second – at best.

I think at this very moment, Boris is signing his own death warrant. And that really is a shame.

[pierre oreilly] 24/5/2020 19:03

Is it really so polarised here that if you are a tory, you don't want cummings to go, and if you are a marxist, you'll say he should go whatever he circumstances?. I really think it is as simple as that here - no thought about any circumstances, just Tories say stay, and others go (with little thought imv.)

c has got to go, simply because the perception of us and them is worse than the loss of his intellect to the country.

Britain's plan for £25bn sovereign wealth fund: Whitehall chiefs weigh up using taxpayer money to buy stakes in family firms all over the countryhTtps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-8351337/amp/Britains-plan-25bn-sovereign-wealth-fund.html...seems good

I too think 80% was over generous given no travel expenses, nothing to spend on. I think 65% was about right and for teachers as well. That amount would have encouraged wanting to go back to work. Just my opinion.

What has Boris Johnson and Tammy Wynette both in common .
They both stand by their man !

[jias] 24/5/2020 18:17

So Lord Blackwell thinks Lloyd’s is a charity. No point in investing in this if that is managements attitude it can only go lower.

Well of course. The ability for the gammons to view these things objectively just doesn't exist. That is why they are gammons and always will be.

ten times better than the Beano opposition.
I hope u get indep - we will be eternally grateful - and you will be ever increasingly poorer.

Who is the president of the EU? We haven't heard anything from him recently. Gone down with coronavirus?

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 17:52

Absolutely fascinating. I didn’t realise just how much the British government depended on an unelected advisor.

And the gammons criticise the EU!

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 17:51

Good luck to the police enforcing the lockdown we'll need when the second spike comes around; we are now, basically, a failed state with no rule of law and a government which picks and chooses when to enforce its own regulations...

[y1phr1] 24/5/2020 17:46

Well done Mr Johnson your doing an excellent job. (Get rid of minerve)

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 17:46

Deadbeat Dad Johnson laughably repeatedly using his empathy with parental instincts in Cummings defence. What parental instincts has Johnson ever demonstrated in his peripatetic life.

He stonewalled any direct questions as expected.

[diku] 24/5/2020 17:32

So far questions about Cummings in daily briefings....and journos getting cut off...that medical expert thinking what is he doing there today!...

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 17:27

Confirmed at 17:00 today: Johnson is a coward.

[bargainbob] 24/5/2020 17:18

Or the willy story is bigger than thought about Boris-exposing himself to Cummings wife.

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 17:08

Boom. Johnson just lost the country’s confidence - for those that still had it. No one has to adhere to anything No 10 says from now on. What a bloody fool Johnson is. He would be so much stronger ultimately by taking the right decision which is to not support someone who has flagrantly broken the rules he set himself. This only confirms the view that Cummings is the de facto PM and won’t fire himself. U.K. is a sinking ship.

[utrickytrees] 24/5/2020 17:05

BOOOHOOO lefty soap dodgers.

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 17:00

Is this the briefing Commemorative Edition - Boris is doing it.
