Shading oneself surely comes second to wrapping oneself in the national flag.

 

But it works wit a certain few.

Can you tell me why....?   ????

[bannork]

Has either candidate mentioned how they will deal with the disgusting pumping of raw sewage into the sea by private water companies rendering 50 UK beaches unusable?

Note how the absent Prime Minister has avoided any UK beaches for his two holidays this month, preferring EU countries.

He doesn't need to drive around and look and no one has suggested that he do so. The reports on that pollution have been ample. Action is long overdue.

Johnson is perfectly entitled to a holiday however, having been ejected as leader of the Tories he insisted that he stay on as PM until a new PM was in situ. Given that, don't you think that he could have put his holiday plans on hold for a couple of months? If he was unwilling to do so, he should have handed over to someone who was going to be physically present in the UK for the summer months.

Could be, but only time will tell, if the boot on the other foot, just imagine Rayner in charge, the mind boggles......????.......

The only qualification she has is the gift of the gab...????

[Chomper Higgot]

The wider voting public are staring down the barrel of another energy price rise arriving in just over three weeks after the ‘selected’ PM takes office.

 

Around about the time temperatures drop and heating needs to be switched on/turned up.

 

This clearly going to be a very chilly reception for which ever hopeful gets the job.

And that’s just one of the many issues the wider voting public expect Government action on.

Here's a report on raw sewage pollution from those lefties at the Telegraph:

Water companies are 'releasing raw sewage into rivers more than 1,000 times a day'

Telegraph analysis shows over a third of sewage discharge occurred when there was no heavy rain, suggesting firms breached their permits

More than a third of sewage discharge occurred when there was no heavy rain in the areas, according to the research, which suggests firms are breaching terms of their permits.

 

And here's another:

 

Sewage spills by water firms have risen 29-fold over the last five years

The number of times raw sewage has been dumped into rivers and lakes across the country has risen from 12,637 in 2016 to 372,533 last year, according to the Environment Agency.

The figures, obtained by Labour under freedom of information requests, also show that the duration of the spills have vastly increased over the same time period.

Five years ago, 100,533 hours worth of spills were recorded compared to 2,667,452 hours of spillages last year.

[Bluespunk]

Deary deary deary me, this is what happens when truss makes financial decisions…

 

”The fact that Liz Truss was the one to cut the EA so severely not only demonstrates her lack of foresight but also her lack of care for the detail, in recognising the need to adapt to the serious flooding that had just happened on her watch.”

Perhaps something to do with Liz Truss’ former post as ‘Secretary of State for the Environment’.

I thought you wanted Liz to win, yet you keep posting The Guarian put downs, that is rather confusing.

This link is on topic from your rag, but it points out what your rag is about, just read the headline, your rag doesn't even like the country it writes in.......????
