I didn’t know he was a Tory 😔.

Labour pledges to recover Covid fraud billions - BBC News (www.bbc.com)

Absolutely amazing if this ever happened. Sadly I think this would need a large majority in the commons to get through. Too many “vested interests” will vote against so Labour need to force it through on their own and they can only do that with a majority. Great for headlines though....

UK paid Rwanda an extra £100m for asylum deal (www.bbc.com)

I find it amusing that the Tories will bang on about being careful with spending “other people’s money” yet have spunked £240m to date on a deal that has yielded no results. Maybe we should rename this HS3 and then Sunak will abandon it?

Trial to cover Elizabeth line 'ghost' marks (www.bbc.co.uk)

I’m slightly disappointed with the explanation given and had hoped that these were actually the ghost markings of our late monarch coming back to tell us to mind the gip.
