Still no guidance

Four days on from announcing enhanced lockdowns in Manchester as well as parts of Cheshire and West Yorkshire, no actual text has been released, not as a bill in Parliament, not as an SI or anything on any Government website of even a Tweet by the Health Secretary.

As has become clear, the actual work of governing is just too hard for these Brexiteers and snake oil salesmen.

It idiot's idiot in the HoC, and former Leader of the Conservative and Union Party, Iain Duncan Smith, has been tweeting about how unfair the WA is to the UK. Eight months after he, as an MP voted to ratify it, and nine months after we also tweeted and spoke out in favour of Johnson's "oven ready deal".

Turns out the moron, or Gammoron or Gammoaner, failed to read even the basics of what had been agreed. There was lots of warnings by people who had what the effect on the UK Union as least would be, but then the same MPs voted to reduce the time for scrutiny and debate of the WA to just two days. And ratified it.

I don't know where to start with this, other than I am sadly not surprised.

IDS wants Johnson to reopen the WA. But Johnson can't; its an international treaty and the UK will be bound by it, or face severe consequences. But IDS wants to rip it up. Of course he does.

Remember all the Brexiteers telling people they know what they voted for? Well, IDS voted for the WA and PD and he knew what he voted for. Or else he's a liar. And an idiot. And takes us all for one, too.

Yesterday, it emerged that the former International Trade Secretary, the former disgraced Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, was the source of a leak of UK-US trade negotiations which revealed that the NHS would be up for grabs by US Health Companies. In a routine phishing scam, Fox revealed his e mail password for his PERSONAL account where the sensitive document was then taken from. Corbyn got a lot of flack from the right wing press for using the leaked documents, but shall we look at today's headlines to see those same newspapers lambasting Fox?

Ones who lead with it are:

The Daily Torygraph.

The Guardian

And meanwhile the Daily Star, that's the comic Daily Star, is leading with the scandal of the PM giving a peerage to his Brother. Imagine the Star doing it's journalistic duty better that the former paper of record, The Times?
