After a few days of cloud and rain they disappeared this morning to reveal a covering of snow on the not too distant Alps, set against a clear blue sky. Bugger the Polar Vortex it looks lovely.
NHS England Quango Demise announcement was premature. It’s now being replaced by another Quango. Reason, NHS England pay scales £9500 above Civil Service rates. A beautiful example of Labour’s Bonkers Britain.
Net Zero side effect: of 30 London crossings only six are in good or fair condition. The rest are likely to be forced to close. All due to extra weight of electric cars and buses. Billions need to be spent in very near future, to stop London grinding to a halt.
Whisper it quietly but those of us who lived through the late seventies are experiencing an uncanny sense of Deja vue. What was the budget but an admission of failure? We have no answers that will satisfy our MPs and party. Expect an early election before Christmas.
Labour are allowing charities to sponsor Asylum Seekers through Community Groups. Just think about that. Its planned numbers will start in low hundreds and raise to low thousands. Start a charity and bring your village to you. Why stop there auntie lives in neighboring town.
First bite of Autumn in the air this morning as preparations are made for harvesting the olive crop.
My impression of latest Covid report is NHS’s main concern was protecting itself and bugger the rest of the population.

This is just not true. As soon as I became foreign secretary I asked the security services the same question and they replied that there was no evidence of any successful interference in the 2016 referendum, by Russia or any other power.
Either the security services have changed their view - which would be very odd - or Burnham is lying about what he has been told. After all Starmer was in power for two years and had access to exactly the same information.

latest HO Hate Crime figures are startling in that they demonstrate clearly left’s continued claims of Islamophobia to be an almost complete fabrication. We are constantly told levels of Islamophobia are equivalent to antisemitism. A blatant lie according to these figures.
Thanks to all who took part in our debate this afternoon. Positive or negative in a small way every comment moved the discussion further just hope Kemi and Nigel take note. It’s our future they hold in their hands. The Yo Yo continues.
The way the lefty media have been out in force playing down Kemi’s speech demonstrates they are either rattled or just as likely never actually seen and heard a real serious political leader’s speech before.
If a person can still change fate of a country then that person is Kemi. Listened to her speech and the the future for Britain is Bright. Kemi will win next election. She just needs her party to fall in behind her and stick to her message. Don’t fail her or you fail our country.
I wonder if Burnham got a medal this morning from Putin for allowing this invidious so called investigation into the SAS to continue.
Same morning we hear Government is refusing to fund our defence we hear they are planning on mass expulsions or Israeli diplomats and further sanctions. Any idiot knows this is a direct threat to our National Security. Closing an essential intelligence eye. What Fxk is going on.
Listening to big guns of the C party it seems they are not prepared to sign up to Kemi’s agenda on Net Zero and so much else. Sadly it is just proving it’s the wets who are in command. They sound affronted by this uppity colonial. For the listener it leaves a bad taste in mouth.
A Labour Minister picks up the phone to demand visas for ten welders. You begin to understand what these Ministers really think about the working classes and providing good training and employment for indigenous population.
The problem Conservatives face is that they are a one man sorry woman band. Now where have I heard that before. We trusted that formula with Boris look where that led.
Let’s not forget it was a rabble rousing political party everyone wrote off that delivered the Holocaust. We ignore the danger represented today in Britain by the Green Party at our peril. Proportional representation could be their gateway and Andy Burnham is fully aware of this.
No need for another enormous public sector Quango to sort grid out there is one simple cost effective solution sitting in plain sight. Scrap all subsidies give responsibility for delivering their product to energy producers. Let producer pay not consumer. Thatcherite economics.
