    ****ing insane if there's any truth in this...

    Yevgeny Prigozhin is alive and plotting his revenge on Putin after body double was killed in plane assassination plot, Russian analyst claims


    +



    • Prigozhin is 'alive, well, and free after body double was killed in plane crash'
    • A Putin critic claims Wagner chief will reveal himself to be alive later this year
    A Russian political analyst has claimed warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin is alive after his body double was killed in last week's plane crash - not the Wagner chief himself.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12456817/Prigozhin-alive-plotting-revenge-Putin.html


    So want this to be true, imagine Putins face when he turns back up!

    Gove says 'Brexit freedoms' allow this to happen. You must be proud.

    I'm always in favour of freedom to act by our national government, but if it takes dumb decisions, it will suffer in the polls, as I believe it will over this, if there isn't a Tory rebellion and Gove gets this through

    Grant Shapps is the new Defence Secretary. Michael Green and Corinne Stockheath are delighted.

    I don't think "Gove has lost the plot".
    I reckon he sold it to Barratt Homes.

    Gove said in 2018 that we would have higher environmental standards outside the EU, as if the EU was somehow preventing this.

    Just another Brexit lie, wasn't it?

    The RSPB have issued an apology today - you must have missed it.

    The irony is, Labour are set to support Gove on the nutrient reforms. Which rules out any Brexit element, since Starmer was all for a second referendum.

    The problem is, we have too many people in the country. The more people, the more sewage. The sewers were bulilt in the mid C19th when the population of the UK was about 27m. It's now 68m and no one has done anything to help evolve the sewers whether they were under public or private ownership.

    Since there's no money available to carry out a major rebuild of the UK's sewers, we're going to see a constant clash between clean rivers (and other factors like the maintenance of green belt, forests etc) and building new houses. Intensive agriculture needed to feed the expandiing UK population is also a major cause of river pollution through run-off from fertiliser chemicals.

    The RSPB apologised for calling the liars 'liars'. They did lie though, didn't they?

    What Labour says it will or won't do is irrelevant.

    Good to hear we’ve found some cash down the back of the sofa.

    Shame everyone is on strike, we’ve racked up obscene debt we’re paying a fortune on in interest and nothing works otherwise we’d all be having street parties and there’d be a gold statue of Sir Nige in Trafalgar Square.

    It's breathtaking. He was accused of halving the budget to 50 schools a year after being told that he should fund 300-400 a year. He said this was 'completely and utterly wrong' and that one of the first things he did as Chancellor was to announce a ten-year programme to refurbish 500 schools. Err.... that's 50 a year, then.

    How about Wales where nothing has been done about this issue. Is Sunak responsible for that too?
