Brass necks

The PM's "new" press secretary", Allegra Stratton, who after four months in post is not trusted to use the £2.6 million media briefing room.

She won't be trusted with that until May, apparently.

But she said, when asked about Johnson's relationshop with fireman pole owning IT expert, Jennifer Arcuri, that the PM had, at all times, followed the Nolan Principles.

She did not say which Nolan principles he was following.

She added: “He acts with integrity and is honest.”

When he does those two things we're not sure, or told.

Meanwhile, Johnson who allows himself to use the new media room said that GlaxoSmithKline were going to make their new COVID vaccine in, well, you guess where.

What would be the most hilarious place, that if you saw it in the Thick of It you would think they had gone too far with satire?

Yes, Barnard Castle.

Meanwhile the Police have held an inquiry into theirpolicing at the vigil in Greenwich two weeks ago and found that they acted properly.

And the Home Secretaty agreed.

Well.

And this morning, the Government released a report whch states, without irony, the UK is not a racist country.

Well, that's all good then.

My job here is done.

Before I go, a word on Brexit:

There really isn't much more to add. I have written about just every aspect, and the problems that the UK economy and businesses are experiencing is the Brexit that Johnson negotiated. And he wakes up to that and deals with the findamental problems a border in the Irish Sea and the forest of paperwork and regualtions he has unleased, then there isn't much more to say.

And with each day that goes by, companies will struggle, and some will just give up.

Meanwhile their customers will go elsewhere.

But, as I ssaid, that's all good then.
