The PM faces further enquiries into why he did not accept due process advice to vet Mandelson before announcing the appointment, to explain why he says there was no pressure to get Mandelson appointed when officials report there was, why he has not produced many of the relevant documents to Parliament about the appointment, what action has has taken to recover McSweeney’s phone or phone and text calls, and why he did not ask more questions about Mandelson’s well know business interests and social world. He replies that this is distracting the country from the big issues posed by the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.
So PM, here today are some questions about the way you are doing the day job. If you bothered to answer some of these that would make headlines and give us something else to talk about.
- Why are you not getting more of our own oil and gas out of the North Sea “at pace” when it is obvious the world is going to be short of oil and gas and having some that does not need a sea voyage is a good idea?
- Why not have an urgent meeting with the oil refiners and petro chem companies to change policy so we do not face any more closures. See if you can get the last two refineries to close to re -open, as we will need various products needing industrial capacity that is locked in or destroyed elsewhere.
- Will you abandon the stupid policy of giving Chagos away, and reassure the US that we as the freeholders will let them use their base there as they see fit?
- Will you re consider the digital tax and the new on line regulations, as some of these are now inciting the US to impose higher tariffs on us?
- When will there be a statement and a Plan to tackle upcoming shortages of fertiliser, jet fuel, some pharmaceuticals?
- What contribution will you and your coalition of the willing make to trying to find a negotiated settlement in the Middle East? When will you even talk to Iran? Will you talk to Hezbollah?

Starmer is a human rights lawyer first and PM somewhere further down the line, he doesn’t give a toss about the U.K. unless it’s to save his own skin, hopefully just hopefully there’s a light shining at the end of the tunnel with a train with a big sign on it saying go just go and take your rag tag party with you please that’s the only other question I would ask him

The answer to your questions is moment of the above.
He doesn’t care what’s right for the country, he’s only interested in international law. That includes spurious judgements from third world judges who hate Britain.
Hermer saying yoomanrites lawyers do more good than our military and he’s pulling Starmers strings.
There had to be a revolution in this country to rid us of the jokers in Westminster and not just the liebour party. People are getting angry.

Some very good points there. Interestingly, Ukraine didn’t make the list this time.
Remember the days when we used to talk about “cutting foreign aid” and it seemed such a pressing issue? We’d probably be deleriously happy if we could get bsck to such relatively untroubled times.
I think the penultimate point is going to become a big one. Upcoming economic, financial, agricultural and social mayhem from the Middle East situation. Pain is unavoidable but a disaster is still very possible, for us and most other countries.

Good Morning,
Dear Lord Redwood,
What a silly list… Of course I’m doing all I can to improve the outlook for the UK. I’m increasing our working age population by bringing in lots of young men. I’m making sure we don’t go to war by keeping our military services short of people and weapons. I’m making sure we have more employed people by increasing the size of the civil service. Most of all I’m spending lots of money on the EU so that they will, hopefully, forgive our foolish democratic decisions and agree to allow us back in through the back door.
Keep smiling,
Yours ever
Kier.

The Prime Minister will be ‘outraged’ that he is asked any questions, and will say he has apologised. What if Boris had apologised.? Would Labour had accepted that! Of course they wouldn’t, they would have insisted he should resign.
The Prime Minister will get away with it, but the public will have their say at the next election.
