Happy Christmas to you and yours John and to everyone who reads your diary. Whilst this year has been a difficult one for many we should all feel very blessed that we live in peace and are blessed if we have our family and friends around us today. So many in the UK and in the world are not that fortunate. Have a well deserved rest John.

May you Sir John also have a great day surrounded with family and friends in an atmosphere of love, peace, laughter, happiness, good food and wine.
Thank you for all your time and effort in running this site on top of all your other commitments. Really very much appreciated.

But over New Year perhaps the rather too few sensible Tory MPs can work out how on earth we can from the current dire position avoid the appalling prospect of Stamer/Sturgeon/SNP/Plaid/Green and finally deliver a real Brexit and a sensible economic agenda. Looks almost impossible to me with the socialist tax to death agenda of Hunt & Sunak.
Starmer rules out pact With Sturgeon he says, well perhaps not a “pact” perhaps but it may well be be an appalling coalition. Where does Starmer stand on Sturgeon’s gender recognition bill? Ditch net zero and block this gender recognition bill would be a very good start.

there would be a lot more warmth if he abandoned the faux Tories, and headed up Reform.

Thank you, Sir John. I hope that you enjoy the day too and offer my best wishes to you and to the readers of your Diary.

It used to be “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” but almost invariably these days it’s just “Happy Christmas” and possibly something or other for the New Year. What’s wrong with “Merry”? Perhaps it’s a victim of the cancel culture!
Nonetheless, my best wishes to your readers and your good-self.

I am enjoying the day, having won my struggle to overcome my shock at your recent disclosure about Santa’s elves having come over all bolshie through working from home.
Have a good rest Sir John . I wish good tidings and a Very Merry Christmas !.

So far as I am aware the ‘correct’ terminology has always been and still is, ‘Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’.
