I bet a windfall tax and help with fuel bills.

Sounds as if they are taking Labour’s advise and introducing a windfall tax, but of course it won’t be called that and be entirely different to what Labour would have done and much more effective????.

Reinstate the Triple Lock but with no date specified, so that when the hoo-ha has died down, it can be slid way down the schedule.

On Politics Live last week they were discussing what if anything Sunak would do to ease the cost of living crisis and rising inflation. It was suggested that he would leave measures to lower inflation until later in the year as the pension increase is determined in September and they will pull out all the stops to get as low an inflation figure as possible that month.

He will promise the world and give nothing. He is the best scammer around

Well, it's not going to be an increase in energy prices. We had that today.

He’s just been on News At Ten with schoolchildren who handed him an invitation to their party. Oh the irony ???

He really does think the electorate is stupid!

Mrs Johnson's rumoured absence from Downing Street has been to give birth to quads. Horace, Maurice, Norris and Doris.

Another Johnson baby or rescue dog?

Johnson will fly to Moscow, even though I think he’s been banned, ask to speak to Putin and then shoot him.

Blossoming my husband is an ex-submariner. I’m scared to ask what he thinks is a torpedo union is!

We will all be there, cheering you on as you win the London marathon dolphindaisy

That's it - following the latest revelations Boris should be publicly punished in Central Lobby by his own Chief Whip, the rest of us can celebrate my winning with a Champagne party

They’re starting with Union bashing

My first thought when I saw your post was that they wanted to get rid of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. My second thought when I read the headline was what is a torpedo union? My third thought when I saw the photo was they want Chas and Caz to separate grin

And the best of luck, dolphindaisy grin ?

dolphindaisy Mon 23-May-22 16:47:49

In that case CHOCOLATELOVINGGRAN I'll win it in record time and Boris will agree JRM is useless.

Chocolatelovinggran Mon 23-May-22 16:35:49

Oh, dolphindaisy, I'll come to cheer you on. It'll be such a good day...

dolphindaisy Mon 23-May-22 16:09:40

Some of you are being very unfair, I fully expect him to make a TV broadcast wearing a new suit and clean tie, his hair combed and styled and apologize profusely for all the mistakes he has made and all the lies he has told, donate the money to the NHS he promised on the Brexit bus, raise pensions and reinstate the £20 he took from Universal Credit, and I will win the London Marathon

DiamondLily Mon 23-May-22 15:13:14

The right wing papers seem to be bigging up the Monkeypox virus, (despite it being an STI and difficult to catch), so perhaps it'll be another lockdown "being thought about" and SAGE will make a return to the stage.... ?

I’ve read a different rumour to that?

Parliament to break for Whitsun recess from 27 May, suggesting the Sue Gray report will be published at 11:59pm on the 26th.

No announcements, just this. Sue Gray appears on BBC News singing her own version of this classic. The backing singers are obviously David Cameron, Teresa May and John Major.

1) Kate will release more photos of the kids.

2) Another boosterism idea to help families, but no date attached

3) A boat asylum seeker dragged screaming to a plane, going to Rwanda, to appease the right wing.

4) (outside bet) Johnson will ask the Queen to make a Tik-Tok video of her breakdancing along the corridors of Buck House.

I'll bet on Sue Gray's previous affair with Prince Andrew being discovered by the DM.
