It's getting increasingly difficult to see a way out of this. Tax revenues are going to all but disappear and when furlough ends the increase in unemployed is going to be massive. I must admit to having been puzzled when the government talking heads suggested that things might bound back. Quite simply, unless we are going to repeal the laws of economics, we are up **** creek in a barbed wire canoe.

The combined clusterfuck of Covid and Brexit was serious enough and now we have China on the warpath. I wonder just how many of the Brexit supporters actually care a jot about Hong Kong. I would have thought the very principle of Leave went hand in hand with not caring about human rights in far away countries of which we know little! (A historical reference there for the more educated of you)

I think it is brilliant that a back bench Tory MP has had the balls to so this.
The government has insisted that the choice of chairman was down to the committee, so to see them spit the dummy and take punitive action against Julian Lewis, who was democratically elected to the post, is another indication that the Tory view of democracy is more like autocracy.
