There was a process

Bier Smarmer’s stance on the Mandelsleaze appointment as the UK ambassodor to the US seems to be that everything sloshing around now was in the public domain at the time of the appointment, and the vetting process gave Mandy an okay. And all the fuss is more about the personal ambitions of those who want to replace Bier than anything new and shocking.
    There’s also a sub-text of ‘what’s wrong with telling lies if you’re a politician anyway?’ It’s something the would-be Bier substitutes do all the time when they’re not trying to pull off tax swindles. Despite all the po-faced denials.

Political make-believe

The thing about the three million Epstein documents released in the US is that they let us be bombarded with speculation.
    ‘Potentially, could have, maybe’ are all deployed mercilessly with no proof on offer by the attention-seekers that any of the invented crimes actually happened.

Yeah, right!

The Prime Fantasist is claiming he has an Immunity Tariff, which protects him from the consequences of doing all sorts of favours for the Mandelsleaze.

Unreal people

The Commons Select Committee on International Aid is going out and about to find out what the public think of it. That’s members of the public who take a cut out of transporting UK taxpayers’ cash to various bits of Africa and the West Indies.

One the wonks missed

The following programme contains images of people smoking tobacco!! Get out of that as a trigger warning!

More discriminatoryTiers

Two Romanian migrants were busted for theft from high-end shops whilst working for an Albanian gang as professional shoplifters. The bloke got 24 months in gaol. The woman got only 18 months.
    Both out in 10 minutes under Smarmer’s new rules?

Lifestyle shift

The drinks trade has been cheered a little by a switch in habits. Dry January became Damp January this year with less of a dip in sales than expected.
