So #Hancock hasn't had his full attention on the day job. That's not surprising, given the results of his tenure. But I guess it's the "one-rule-fer-me..." thing that grates. Oh, and the #cronyism, but that's a given with this lot. #sleaze [@Telegraph 26/6/2021]
Shapps introduces update on #trafficlightsystem as #TravelRestrictions annoy industry. Says ministers "need to look at what the science says". Well, the science is complicated; vax numbers up, but cases up. How much #Science can #Johnson take? #COVID19 [@Telegraph 25/6/21]
Bit of a dumb panic-sketch for today's Telegraph (Sunday 13/6/21) after a reverse-ferret in deference to poor Christian Eriksen after his on-field collapse; I'd drawn a football cartoon about #G7 #Johnson #EU spat- I'll stick it on here in a bit since the lad's OK. #sausagewars
So they're all arriving at the #Carbisbayhotel for #G7. #ClimateCrisis is not being discussed until Sunday - will it simply be a "greenwash" PR photo-call as usual, infected by global commercial interests? HT @XRebellionUK
Lovable populist teddy bear #Johnson likes to please the rabid populist media, so announced "no more" lockdowns or extensions earlier this year. Now rumblings of #June21st #FreedomDay in jeopardy may mean he has to "amend" his promise. But who cares, eh? [Telegraph 5/6/2021]
Seems the "follow the science" came out on top from yesterday's traffic light #TravelRestrictions meeting. #Portugal off. No new #greenlight countries. Iceland it is, then. #Johnson in rule-obeying mode. There's a thing. [@Telegraph 4/6/2021].
June 21 #freedomday2021 is "in the balance" if you follow the science but #Johnson won't be associated with unpopular news. He sees "no evidence" to delay. Great Liberator of the People or shameless megalomaniac narcissist? Hmmm. You decide [Telegraph Sat 29/5/2021]
Just drew this for @ChurchTimes on subj. of how to have disagreements. I noticed that I had (subconsciously) drawn the LH vicar's face in the style of Pete Dredge and the other, Giles Pilbrow; two cartoonists I hugely admire. Hope they don't mind. Ah, the subconscious, eh?
Discord in govt. Gove and Truss fight it out over putative Australian tariff-free trade deal which might add 0.2% to our GDP and...oh yes, ruin #UKfarming. Ultimate result: de-regulation (in this case of food production) - what #Brexit was about, of course. [Telegraph 22/5/21]
MPs (and most people) don't appreciate of deaths by #AirPollution (29k+) NOW (NOT 1952!) in UK. >> than alcoholism (15-22k), obesity (9k), road accident (<2k). [for ref; smoking + 80k] HT @CleanAirLondon. Get the app for your area https://t.co/8uQbfLebDH
