“It is what it is” - This is how the market works and is a good example of why the market doesn’t always work in customers favour - also why we need the government (if we actually had one) to step in and limit price increases.

Reality Winner says she leaked file on Russia election hacking because ‘public was being lied to’

Jeez… what a contest! One so stupid she thinks “I want to hit the ground” is a campaign slogan and one so rich he is out of touch with everyone apart from his own personal tax advisor. Johnson set the bar pretty low but not totally clear the Tories have managed to get over it.

Labour should be claiming the moment, issuing a joint statement with the leaders of all other parties in the Commons saying never again shall we suffer this fiasco and that they commit to parliamentary reform in the national interest, now. But there’s not a word to be heard.

Yet another pathetic attempt at deflection by Raab… the political attack is, rightly, against Johnson, not against his wife
