    I don't know if I'm reading this correctly - but it seems that during trade talks with India, for which he has coined the term Brindian, Boris the Turbaned Bridiot appears to have promised US$100m of our cash as aid to help Indian companies manufacture goods that they can then export to the UK so that we can buy them. <doh>

    And don't start me on the fact that it's being billed as aid from England - no mention of Scotland or Wales, both of whom will no doubt find their budgets adjusted accordingly.

    I once went to a gurdwara, and I’ll never forget the genuinely welcoming reception we received (even as atheists), and we were encouraged to wear a head-covering, but it was the one the guy wears in the background of this picture with Twat Features.Obviously that would not provide enough of a photo-op for the bloated narcissist.

    Priti looks like she’s stepped out in dressing gown and slippers.

    Take note; there is not a single resident to be seen. All shut inside with their security chains in place.

    Hmm - better the instability you know than the instability you don't know?

    From the MP who claimed there was no sleaze in his party - I think he got that wrong too.

    I wrote to my MP regarding Covid and "partygate" as well as other bits and bobs... and to my surprise I got a response!

    Waffle - flannel - tory party line - tory party political broadcast - flannel - flannel - waffle... absolutely FA of substance... to my absolute non-surprised self.

    Most of it was a stock in trade cut and paste job with a line of sympathy for Mrs Fez thrown in. If he thinks he's done anything to placate either of us then he is very sadly mistaken and guilty of fractal wrongness.

    I wrote to my (sadly Tory) MP 3 or four years ago - around the time the Saudis were bombing the crap out of Yemen and Syria with British-made bombs on a daily basis - to ask how they could justify selling arms to the Saudis. I did get a reply - he passed the query on to some flunky in the Dept for International Trade. Said flunky's response waffled on about Consolidated Criteria, risk assessment framework, international humanitarian law, rigorous examination on a case-by-case basis - basically covered what they do with export licence applications, but made no attempt to answer my actual query - their justification for actually selling the damned things.

    I think it's their way of frustrating constituents to the point that they never write to them again.

    In contrast, around 13 years ago when we had to put my mum in a care home, I wrote a letter of complaint to Scotland's Health Minister who had been spruiking to the media about having increased the personal care allowance for care home residents. At that time, the council responsible for paying the allowance had refused to pay it to her at all, never mind pay her at the new rate. It did take a while to get a written response, which did make me a tad cranky, but actions do speak louder than words - the council suddenly started paying the allowance, even back-dated it, at the Minister's instructions.

    That's the key issue: action. In my case there will be none. I've seen his voting record and it's a bit rubbish to say the least. He's a Party hack, centre-right of a far right leaning party. I think he has ambitions as he replaced our former incumbent at the last election. I don't think he's quite into rees-mogg / priti patel territory but if you don't vote against the likes of them then you're tarnished in my view.

    Dirty devil - a front bencher too. I wonder who the culprit is?

    Twitter seems to think it's the one who denied he was paddleboarding because "the sea was closed" - he certainly looks creepy enough. But if that's the criterion, it could be any one of them.
