Who calls their child Allegra? Sorry but it sounds like the answer to a bad Christmas cracker joke

I don't know how some of you can stomach politics all the time. I just to follow it, but it just does my head in. I can't help but catch up with what's going on, especially via social media on my feed. I am trying to limit my social media use too, but eventually it bleeping pulls you in.

People who follow it 24/7 must really have a passion for it. Otherwise I can't imagine why they'd put themselves through the agony and tediousness of it all.

Isn’t it Italian? Her wiki page says she was named after Lord Byron’s daughter

allegra in italian is happy, but in slang can also mean tipsy

I imagine at Cheltenham ladies and Roedean there's quite a few Allegra's. It's not something I've heard called out in my local Lidl in Bromley though

Tommorows front pages are all rightly atrocious.

Not sure I see a way out of this for BJ now. I can't see him lasting into 2023.

He’s looking quite ill recently, a bit bloated?

Who is even going to take over from Johnson? He won't do another election and Sunak seems the most likely candidate. But his policies during covid were hardly a great success; stamp duty changes unnecessarily caused a the property market to overheat even more and the bounceback loan fraud rate they believe is 20% because it was brought in with little control and they had time to tighten the money taps and be more careful, but didn't.

Not that the opposition looks much better, Keir ain't got it.

I agree.

Those that think Labour (under Starmer) will be any better in power, are seriously deluded.

Another day and more and more sleaze seeping through.

I'll be interested to see the numbers on the vaccine passport vote. They have an 80 seat majority so I can't see any problems but I can see it scraping through.

 

[Clemmy Fandango]

There is no opposition, Starmer had an untold amount of weapons in his arsenal yesterday to go after them but the best he could do was joke about Ant & Dec mocking him. And when push comes to shove, Labour all vote for the same restrictions as the Tories anyway. They are all an absolute shower

I wonder how much that reflects the public as a whole? He lost some weight last year to get covid-fit, but that's all come back and some.

did anyone else not even know she was pregnant? (not that I care frankly)

Another silver spooned brat.

Another kid for him to ignore existed when this relationship inevitably breaks down.

Just for a laugh:

I'm suprised labour are only this far ahead at the moment. A new Tory leader to fight the next election and distance from the current issues and they'll probably comfortably beat sir Keir's labour.
