At last a fully functioning opposition

Very true Jabberwok, very true indeed.

I have been working fourteen days on the trot from home and today I am trying to grab a few hours off. Therfore winding down a bit, I do not think my brain is engaging properly at the minute.

My wife is the same I think. She said a few minutes back "if we are both not working today we could go out for tea to somewhere nice. To which I replied, WHERE. ?

Keir Starmer has met the Labour Jewish Movement.

The first time a labour leader has done so for 6 years.

Various rules and cultural practices are being changed in order to sort out the issue relating to anti-Semitic charges in the Labour Party.

After Starmer’s clear criticism of the intention of charging low skilled immigrant NHS workers, Johnson has u-turned today after huge criticism on the media etc.

An effective opposition. Thank god.

And of course true to form Johnson lied about the level of income that is reviewed from the immigrant fee. He stated £900million. It was found to come nowhere near that amount.

Apparently he was much more prepared this week for PMQs ????

Nor reviewed received

The amount was approximately right for four years contributions.

BJ couldn't bring himself to utter a truth, his instinct is always to lie, or if he can't get away with an out and out lie, to embroider the truth.

Patel on twitter has talked about the wonderful NHS staff and their extraordinary contribution.

Tell me, weren’t they contributing yesterday when they announced the intention to charge them?

What an evil lot they are.

That £900 million is apparently the figure for 4 years of charges to all immigrants. Health Service workers actually contribute about 10%.

I thought that Johnson seemed more 'prepared' this week. He spouted off loads of figures (not just the immigrants' charge one). I expect that's why we didn't see much of him in the days between PMQs. He was learning figures off by heart.

Trouble was, they didn't really have much to do with the answers...

And that was after Johnson prepared for PMQs!!

He isn’t very good is he?

????

Nor did he answer the questions put to him by KS.

It would appear that the app used on the Isle of Wight wasn't all singing and dancing. I believe the company is owned by the brother of Dominic Cummings.

dinahmo he rarely answers the questions, and when he does he usually lies

The brother of a friend of Dominic Cummings.

Certainly a functioning opposition. After yesterday's PMQs, guess what?

The NHS surcharge for immigrants is to be lifted for all NHS and care workers.

All credit to Keir Starmer for raising the issue, don't you think?

Pathetic capitulation on Johnson's part, though. He couldn't see anything wrong with it. It took someone with decency and a sense of fairness to point out how wrong it was. And, I suspect that much of the country was in agreement with Starmer...

Keir Starmer's really shining through,isn't he? At last, a Shepherd to bring this errant lamb (that'd be me,btw), back into the fold. A joy to listen to and superb today at PQT.

The policy of never interrupting your enemy when he is making huge mistakes is so clever.

Starmer is good.

I don’t like Corbyn or Starmer nor Johnson. In fact there are No policies or Politicians I feel I can vote for anymore. I am not and never will be a socialist and I can no longer support BoJo. So I am now a disenfranchised “none of the above” I’m awaiting a decent right of centre party I can trust to lend my support to. I’m old fashioned I believe politicians are there to serve their constituents not make up policy for themselves - so if there’s a party that wants to give people a fair wage even in retirement, complete Brexit, put our safety first before money or politics. Does not tolerate criminals, does not plunder their citizens via taxes or inheritance penalisation and deals with the disadvantaged with compassion and aid, whilst expecting them to contribute, and does not want to sell us out to the Chinese, the USA or Europe and does not want to Govern as they want “Power” but rather because they want to improve All their citizens lot, I’m waiting..........

Ed Davey is a decent politician
