Brexit Monday news.

Helen Whately is the Conservative MP for mid-Kent and also the Care Minister. Quiet at the back.

Over the weekend, she stated, in all seriousness, that lorries would be prevented from using the A251 as a rat run as a result of the Ashford lorry park.

"I didn’t think they’d erect trade obstacles in *my* Kent constituency!” wails MP for the Erect Trade Obstacles in Kent Party".

Helen isn't the brightest knife in a draw full of rusty blades, but as someone who voted for Brexit, and directly affects her constituency, you would have thought she had considered the consequences.

But apparently not.

It is summer holiday in Westminster, so all is quiet, except that the Government dropped forced 14 day quarantine requirements from people returning from Spain on their holidays. This, despite most of Spain having a lower R rate than say, Kent. DO people who go to Margate for the day have to isolate upon their return to London?

This, I presume, is to make up for the lack of a working track and trace system, which is not working, and might never do. Despite spaffing £12 million in three months on it, though quite what that three million a month bought is unclear, when Germany rolled its own one out, using open source code for less than a million Euros.

World leading in spaffing money against the wall, enriching their friends and relations.
