So as I was cycling along trying to avoid the many and road craters I wondered how many could have been be fixed with the £29m dodgy Michelle Mone made out of us for the dodgy PPE. The answer is c1/2m potholes - which would be HALF the potholes in the UK 😡

Andy Davey: potholes, everywhere. It would cost £14bn to repair them. Hmm. What's their solution? Ignore the problem. It'll go away. I think this lot are in for a bumpy ride through to next year – political cartoon gallery in London original-political-cartoon.com
