    Even the 5th May - would be a handy revelation to spread around just before the Holyrood election.

    If you approach a pig farm from the wrong direction, you will not be able to avoid the smell. If you watched Cameron's mate Greensill giving evidence to the Treasury select committee, you would have to agree with all of the MPs who noticed the stink around his whole business activities. Government itself was deeply involved, passing out contracts via dubious companies, and several Mps suggested this was effectively fraud. The smell will get stirred up again on Thursday when Cameron appears before the committee.

    So the Gupta empire is under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office. Greensill with Cameron working for them, was very close to them to put it carefully, being the lender that kept them afloat. Strange that Cameron couldn't remember very much despite sitting in on the Greensill board meetings. The whole Greensill setup was designed to skim off money from either private companies, or on a much larger scale from government departments. Government departments are not very good at paying their bills said Cameron, so it meant that some private company could jump in, promise to pay quickly, then get the money from government and make a profit. This is at the taxpayers expense. This we were told is the real economy now!

    I don't remember that one, but in 2004 he said something along the lines of "...I'll stick it up, cut it into pieces and spread them on my cornflakes." Of course, back then such cards were a Labour plan.

    Lord Frost says the government will hire an external adviser to identify post-Brexit opportunities. ``We have high hopes of outside input into this process."

    I will be getting my application in as soon as possible. £1,400 a day seems a modest sum, but I would need a few additional perks. A private jet (not JCB's) as I wouldn't want to travel with the general public on health grounds. A season ticket in the GT stand close enough to Gino so I can pass on advice about which players he needs to replace. A Home Office credit card as they do not seem to have a limit on spending. A tax haven bank account for any additional little sums that come my way through providing contacts to Government Ministers. A decent holiday on a private island supplied at no cost. I am sure I will think of a few more things to add to my application.
    I would think that after a year or so I could produce a report. Two sides of A4 if the PM is to read it I believe is the largest it should be. I think it might suggest the revolutionary idea of joining a large trading block as close to the UK as possible.

    This is utterly disgusting - Johnson's government now getting schoolchildren in England to bring passports to school to prove they are entitled to be here.

    Where will this end - Blackshirts roaming the streets asking people for ID?

    What the hell is happening to the country? Earlier in the week adults, some who had been in the country for forty or fifty years, holders of UK passports, received letters suggesting they needed to regularize their status or be in danger of losing their pensions that they worked and paid into for. A question was asked to Lord Frost about this today, and he simply brushed aside the suggestion that there was something very wrong with the Home Office data base.

    The UK Tory Government Culture Secretary believes he’s entitled to tell museum directors in England what they can and can’t display, threatening them with funding cuts if they defy him. I can just imagine what response he might get from a museum I know.
