Loving the continuous Boris fuck ups but it seems none of them are enough for him to quit.

How can he say he didnāt attend because he didnāt know it was his birthday now though? His loophole this whole time.
Since heās a UK Champs after party former headliner, think he would do us a special Brian version?

It ran in Finland on a test basis with 2000 people getting ā¬560 tax free per month for about 2 years from Jan 2017 to Dec 2018, regardless of if they were looking for work, working occasionally or managed to get full time work. There were mixed results, I believe -

The fact the police frickin raided a wedding (that just happened to be black people) at that time is just so fucked. Weāll see if they go at this with the same enthusiasm

Will a police investigation now be a great excuse for the government not too release the Sue Gray report? As Johnson tries too stretch it out longer in the hope interest starts too fizzle out as other news stories take over?

Iād really like to just spend a couple of politically aware years not in turmoil, please. First time I was really politically aware was during the Blair/Brown switchover and it feels like itās just been white knuckles ever since. Financial crisis, coalition, financial crisis, AV vote going to shit, toxic referenda, financial crisis, Brexit, financial crisis, Trump, cost of living crisis, Teresa May collapsing, the meteoritic rise and equally meteoric fall of Corbyn, gestures vaguely at everything to do with the current government, Syria, Russia, ISIS, Marine Le Pen, the Aussie government, Nazis everywhere, Kanye, Joe Rogan, that prick in the Philippines, Erdogan, Winnie The Pooh and Chinese soft-impirialism, the Uyghur genocide, the foretold economic prosperity of Africa still not arriving, Greece. Thereās shitloads more Iāve not put in but itās constant and fucking exhausting.

The Blair and Brown years really were just heaven in comparison to this lot.
Innit! But I lived in a household that read The Sun so I was equally as mental as my Labour-hating parents at that point in life. I was angry about immigrants and benefit cheats all the time aged 13 3/4. Because I thought reading the newspaper with my breakfast made me all informed and erudite.

Didnāt they try claiming that the Grey report canāt be published now that there is a police investigation. The Met responded with a āwe donāt mind, go aheadā
So now they are looking into other avenues to downplay the damage.
