    Matt Hancock was doing an annual visit to a hospital. As always he was looking for something to beat the NHS with to show how badly run and loss making things were there.
    Hancock checked all the books and then did his tour. While on the tour he turned to the ward manager and said I notice you buy and use a lot of bandages. What do you do with the plastic middle out of the roll? Good question, noted the ward manager, we save them up and send them back to Johnson and Johnson and every once in a while, they send us a free bandage roll. We like recycle whenever possible, Oh he said somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went in his tour to the next ward. What about all these coloured casts you dispense. They seem to be rather a waste of money?
    Ah, yes, replied the ward manager realizing that Hancock was trying to trap her. We ask that any patient wishing a coloured cast donates £1 which is far in excess of the 10p the colouring actually costs. Hancock was determined to fluster the ward manager. So on they went to the next ward. Well, what do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries? Here too we do not like wasting, said the manager.
    What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the government in London and about once a year, at this exact time, they send us a complete prick.

    Must say I was, and probably still am, quite sceptical of Brexit.

    But the government, scarecrow included, seem to be handling this vaccine situation really well and leaving the EU, to my mind, looks like it has really benefited us here.

    The EU know it, too. They're backtracking now after threatening the supply chain of vaccines, yesterday. Everybody should be now looking at the EU and thanking their lucky stars that we voted to leave.

    Quite simply we have ran rings around them with our vaccine procurement and I can see the EU countries struggling with the virus for a long time after we start returning to some sort of normality.

    Brexit is already benefitting the North East, with jobs guaranteed at Nissan and more to be created as they shut down the Spanish factories and having a lot of that production transferred over here.

    Labour's Shadow Cabinet have claimed thousands of pounds in expenses since first nationwide lockdown in March on first class travel, TV licences and HAND GEL, figures reveal
    • Labour's Shadow Cabinet charged thousands in expenses during lockdown
    • Deputy chief Angela Rayner has spent £1,600 on 23 first-class trips since March
    • Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy spent £20 on hand-sanitiser gel
    • Lucy Powell put the £157 TV licence fee and £35 in parking fares on expenses
    The Wigan MP, who has called for the British Army to be replaced with a 'gender-balanced human security force', also claimed £2,298.50 in expenses on rail, including £334.50 on railcards.

    Though MPs can claim expenses, including the cost of accommodation, they have come under increased scrutiny since a major scandal which found widespread misuse of allowances and expenses.

    TONY BLAIR HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID VACCINE

    JUST A SPEECH

    Lead or be led. That was the challenge Tony Blair laid down to the prime minister yesterday when he called for Britain to use it’s presidency of the G7 to agree and launch an “international Covid Pass”, or vaccine passport.
