RACHEL REEVES MP (2)

Things just keep happening to Rachel Reeves MP who doubles as Chancellor of the Exchequer.  She's always been a financial disaster. 

It now transpires that Rachel (infamously known as Rachel From Accounts) failed to apply for a Letting Licence for her South London home that she lets out for a rent of nearly £50,000 per year.  As Chancellor,  she's got basically freebie residence at 11 Downing Street right  next door to the Prime Minister.

She likes money does our Rachel.  Remember,  she's the one whose parliamentary credit card was stopped by the authorities a year or two back over false accounting - excellent training and a notable CV entry for a future Chancellor of the Exchequer don't you think?

Pity she doesn't respect our money in quite the same way as she does her own.

SIR MARK ROWLEY, COMMISSIONER, METROPOLITAN POLICE (2)

We are now told that the charges against Graham Linehan,  the comedian who was arrested at Heathrow  Airport after returning from America,  have been dropped.  The charges were outrageous,  an arrest basically for telling innocuous jokes.

We are still waiting for Commissioner Rowley to resign.  If he had any honour at all,  he would have resigned long before now and taken with him whatever clown of an officer who authorised this crazy  arrest in the first place.

Is every Chief Constable in the land an abject idiot?

REFORM UK (3)

Nigel has suspended four Reform members of  Kent County Council for 'bringing the party into disrepute'.

All with no trace of irony whatsoever.

REFORM UK (2)

Although not immediately affecting Nigel or Reform UK,  at least for the moment,  we see there's a little bit of financial trouble brewing over Brussels way for Ms Ferrari,  Nigel of Reform UK's lady friend. The difficulty allegedly relates to her work in Anti-EU propaganda from some years ago.

We'll keep a close eye on this one.

We understand Ms Ferrari to be the sole proprietor of the now-infamous £1million  property she and Nigel share in Clacton.

 

POACHING AWARENESS WEEK !!!!!

We read in the local rag this morning of correspondence from Brian Davidson,  a Senior Civil Servant at the Scottish Government,  to Landed Estates in Scotland advising them to make contact with the local Police Wildlife Crime Officer to undertake  joint anti-salmon poaching patrols from now on.  

Extraordinarily, Mr Davidson sees removing a wild-run salmon from the open seas as A Wildlife Crime!!!!!   But, according to our man Mr Davidson,  if a Scottish Landed Estate -  for example our favourite Estate,  Grimersta - were to take that same salmon,  there would be no crime at all committed!!!!!  What Mr Davidson makes of removing a salmon farm escapee fish he doesn't say.

It's a funny old world but,  sadly,  for the pen-pushing Civil Servant Mr Davidson,  he's a thousand years too late to stop this most noble and honourable of callings.  Meanwhile, the logic of the pen-pusher remains as impenetrable as ever.

THE NEW LABOUR GOVERNMENT - 15 MONTHS ON

Well,  those past 15 months  have been a roller-coaster and a half,  have  they not?    Let's see what we predicted 15 months ago for the Leaders of the Pack.

That the Right Honourable Sir Keir Starmer MP  has no leadership qualities whatsoever - and not to mention any sense of judgement - has been  obvious  ever since he became Leader of the Labour Party.  That cluelessness was compounded - and then some - with revelations shortly after Labour won the Election that Starmer had been on the take big-style so that from that moment on  he became laughably known as Free Gear Keir.  We predicted that he would never recover and he hasn't.  He is the most unpopular Prime Minister in history.  No wonder he spends so much time abroad.

After the Prime Minister comes The Right Honourable  Angela Rayner MP  who was at the time Deputy Prime Minister.  We described Angela as 'several disasters waiting to happen - simultaneously'.  We were spot-on about the vulgar and brain-dead Angela.

Next up for assessment is The Right Honourable Rachel Reeves MP,  Chancellor of the Exchequer.  We described her at the time as 'the most stupid woman on the planet and a hardcore Stalinist on steroids who is going to destroy the country before too long'.  We were spot-on there also.

Now we turn to The Right Honourable David Lammy MP who used to be Foreign Secretary and is now,  we believe,  Deputy Prime Minister.  We described Lammy as 'a stupid,  garrulous man' and events have proved that assessment correct.  He is so, so stupid that even Keir - and even with Keir's disastrous lack of judgement - could no longer trust Mr Lammy as Foreign Secretary and removed him from post.  Keir is of the view that Lammy can do no harm as Deputy Prime Minister but we are far from convinced that view is correct.

Lastly,  we come to The Right Honourable Yvette Cooper MP then Home Secretary and whom we described at the time as 'intellectually unsound but able to get a piece at any door'.  She's doing the rounds - we understand Yvette is now Foreign Secretary as she was unable to deliver at the Home Office.   She talks a good fight but it ends there.  She's a featherweight.

With politicians like those on the front line the country is in excellent hands don't you think?

COVID PPE VIP LANE

A few nights ago,  we watched,  aghast,  a television programme concerning the activities of Tory Party Politicians and Friends during the Covid era when procurement of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) for hospital and medical staff became the Number One government priority. 

They all piled in to the tune of £billions and £billions.  That there was a VIP Lane for Friends of Tory Politicians there is no doubt and was a system  well outside the normal Government Procurement Regulations.  Neither is there any doubt that what happened was Misconduct in Public Office of the very first magnitude whether by Government Ministers,  Civil Servants,  or both.

Will we ever see criminal prosecutions?
