Stephen Pound MP Defends Ulez.
Political commentator Emma Woolf has branded the London Mayor a "little dictator". In a scathing assessment of the mayor's reign. The London Mayor is struggling in the polls against Tory candidate Susan Hall. According to the pollster company JL Partners, there is a, 35% - 32%, difference between Khan and Hall. This will give Susan Hall hope of beating Khan. In a sense, Khan may have created his own downfall, but it was well intended.

Cruella in Washington D.C.
Suella Braverman, make no, mistake, knows the game is up for the Tories. If polls are proven to be true, Sunak and his Mob will be toast, at the next general election. So, with that in mind, Suella was setting out her stall as a potential successor to Wishy-Washy. However, she did it, behind the guise of redefining what a 'refugee' is.

Andy Burnham, Andy Street, and Boris: Scrapping Midlands and Northern HS2 Madness.
HS2 ever since George Osborne announced it as part of his 'Northern Powerhouse" (to level up the midlands and the north of England) has been controversial. The plan is to link major rail lines with London, Birmingham, and Manchester. Birmingham and Manchester, were chosen, to link with London, because they are the next two major cities, after the capital.

Chris Packham: Is It Time to Break The Law?
We have all seen the antics of 'Just Stop Oil' and other environmental campaigners. As they have blocked traffic, tied themselves to various structures, etc. And as much, as it is, a nuisance to people trying to get somewhere, these people have a point. Maybe, there are extremists, as there are with all groups or beliefs, however, the planet is going to "Hell in a hand cart" as Packham rightly observed.

Suella Braverman "We cannot bankrupt Britons"
The government promised to cut the UK's emissions by 2030. Phasing out internal combustion engines, gas boilers, etc. would all go. To be replaced by battery-operated cars and pumps. All this to be more energy efficient and climate-friendly. Of course, the UK is not the biggest emitter of poisonous gases. India, China, and the USA are the biggest polluters. Of course, nations like the UK must do their part. As the 'Tesco' ad says, "Every little helps".

Sir Keir Must Present His Credentials
Sir Keir will be meeting President Macron soon. He and his Team will climb the steps of the Elysee Palace to be greeted by Macron. President Macron, from his point of view, will want to familiarise himself, with what could be the UK's next government. The personal chemistry between Macron and Starmer will be important as will be the body language (for you people watchers out there!). Important because Macron and Starmer will need to have a good working relationship, friendship, and similar goals. This will apply when Keir Starmer (as Prime Minister) meets other world leaders.

XL Bully Dogs to Be Banned?
Owning an aggressive dog in the UK is a status symbol among many working-class lads. It's very much a macho thing for young males in this country. The dog supposedly emphasises the status of a young male. Like owning a flash car, the dog like the car, is treated as a status symbol.

Starmer Brands Sunak: 'InAction Man'.
Prime Minister's Questions have always been a stormy and bantery affair. Prime Ministers and Opposition Leaders have always said, they want an end, to 'Punch and Judy' politics. This refers to the constant argumentative and confrontational time that occurs between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Yet, for every statement, to make this affair more calm and peaceable, it hasn't happened.

Chris Packham: Talks to Jeremy Corbyn.
I remember Chris Packham as a kid presenting animal documentaries and programmes for kids. The blonde, spikey-haired, Punk Presenter was upfront about his love for the Planet and all Species upon it. Today, at the age of 62, Packham is no different and is more vociferous about the planet we live on.

Sunak Faces Another Two By-Elections.
Sunak has faced a tumultuous year what with one thing and another. Nadine Dorries MP and close confidant of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned. The representative for Bedfordshire recently handed in her resignation to the Prime Minister. Now, Ms. Dorries can be seen on GB News as a presenter. Nadine Dorries appeared on 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Here'. Appearing scantily clad and taking part in all sorts of so-called 'bush tucker trials'. Originally, from Liverpool, she served as a backbencher during the time of David Cameron. She held a cabinet post under Boris Johnson. Since the time of Sunak, she has resigned.
