It's a joke to be honest. I work in london a lot - fortunately I can expense my travel costs back to my company whether I choose to drive or get the train. But either way is sickeningly expensive from Fleet. They are just mugging of the workers at every turn
 
Just seen this video with Sadiq Khan, in which he says the increase of the zone would affect 4 million people, he accuses Jenrick of being “misinformed or lying” and states that Johnson “was lying”. No messing about.

Johnson and his inept lying rabble need calling out at every opportunity on whatever media platforms. Good one for Led by Donkeys.
 
I have never knowingly visited Eastbourne, but if you know anyone there send congratulations that they have managed to elect a Tory MP with principles. Caroline Ansell voted with Labour to maintain free meals for children over Christmas. This woman is such a rare beast that I suggest she is shot and stuffed and put on display in the British Museum. Then the people of Eastbourne can vote Labour and cut out the middle man!

Good to hear they aren’t all savages.

Might need to put your chips on the Lib Dem’s with this one though.....

This, apparently, is a menu from the House of Commons. Cheapest meals in the country? Time their meal subsidies were stopped, because if they can’t afford to feed themselves, the taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidising them.

"Micro celery" is peak foodie nonsense. Ah, yes, sweet baby celery, which will take like...crunchy water. Because all celery tastes like crunchy water.

Also, what the hell is black olive crumb doing alongside salmon with a cream sauce.
 
I saw, yesterday, with the upsurge in claims for Universal Credit, during these difficult times, that the DWP want new laws allowing them free access to claimants bank accounts.
Their claim is that they don’t know if a claimant has more than the limit in savings (£16000) which would make their claim illegal.
Slippery slope and all that.
I haven’t read anywhere that the DWP/HMRC wants new laws giving them free access to the business and private accounts of business people, to ensure that they are paying their full quota of tax, though.
Maybe that is in the pipeline.
