I can't justify giving Matt Hancock any money, but I'm sort of intrigued to read the "official" version of the pandemic.
He's obviously pretty confident in his story, otherwise it wouldn't be out before the inquiry. If it drops to a quid on Kindle I'll bite.
Matty boy will make out they are akin to "The Magnificent Seven". The real story is more "Team America World Police"
"But a win for the government today does not necessarily mean flights taking to the skies imminently, as analysts expect an appeal from the losing side However, the High Court has ruled that the cases of eight individual asylum seekers - who were due to be sent to Rwanda earlier this year - will have to be reconsidered."
Lord Justice Lewis said that it is 'lawful' for a government to make arrangements to relocate people, and for asylum claims to be determined in Rwanda rather than the UK. He added that it was consistent with the refugee convention and the Human Rights Act 1988.
Nothing to do with Boris or politics, I just didn't want to start a thread for Matt Hancock. After two years of suffering endless lies and Covid he thinks people will want to spend money on a book about the endless lies and Covid ... ... needless to say his 'masterpiece' has bombed quicker than Neville Southall's diet book.
The writer who worked on this 'book' has an interesting track record on political books. She did 'call me dave' where the claim about Cameron and a pig was made. There is still yet to be any evidence that was true, and she subsequently said the source might be untrustworthy. She also did a book about Brexit referendum, which famously had a false story on page 1. My point is I am not sure she is the best at verifying stories she puts into her books, and this is another rush job. Ex political editor of the Sunday Times too, might have expected higher standards.
Au contraire. From her track record of lies, unsubstantiated rumours and half truths, I would proffer she is EXACTLY the right person to write this work of fiction.
@Gordon Armstrong. Still no response. @Gordon Armstrong . Still not deleted but deleted another post of mine on another thread. Prick
Big article in a newspaper, the former Chief of Royal Mail, Rico Back is saying the present Chief of Royal Mail Simon Thompson is the main cause of the strikes. Back says Thompson has never ran a big company before and does not know the logistics business. "Both together are a toxic mixture". The union reckon Thompson is "aggressive, reckless and out of control ". With the growth of the parcel business and Royal Mail having all the infrastructure but needing staff to adapt. Staff could with kind words, negotiations and bribes have come around. But Thompson paid out £400m to shareholders and cash is now in short supply. So the new chief has mishandled union negotiations, screwed up moving the business more to parcels and coughed up a shed load on cash to shareholders. He probably will get a big bonus from shareholders.
Happening across all industries. Older workers have buggered off, fed up, and those left have no idea how things work. Part of the 'we don't have to listen because we disagree with them' culture.
Royal Mail is a private company now sadly, and exists solely to provide money to it's shareholders. There is not a single one of the state owned assets that have been improved by privatisation. Thatcher's neoliberal experiment is coming home to roost.

"But he defended his decision to attend the competition by saying the trip would allow him to promote Wales and the country's values on the world stage and further economic links with the Gulf state." Sounds more tory than Labour
And yet there he is, red rosette on. This is the kind of problem Starmer's been left with, unfortunately.
