Same as before, rugby, cricket, politics and the occasional dad joke... Expect profanity. No DMS unless we know each other in real life

The last thing I read was that she'd taken a leave of absence, probably to avoid scrutiny.
Who knows if she'll ever go back there.

You're more than welcome mate.
I'm not sure whether you're referring to that clip or if you listened to DID but the bit about his dad being an accidental Jack Nicholson impersonator had me in bloody stitches๐Ÿ˜‚

I listened to Michael Sheen's #DesertIslandDiscs episode today and I cannot put into words how much I admire and love this man.

The world needs more Michael Sheens

That 20k is impossible to replace because of the years of experience that was wiped away with the stroke of a pen.

And then allowed two completely unaffordable tax cuts as a desperate election ploy, screwing up the public finances while leaving the overall tax burden still at a high.

Is it about fixing fundamentals or merely patching a leak until the plumber arrives to install a new heating system?
I'm sure Streeting said when it was announced that it would be a short term strategy but I can't find a direct quote.

Apols for the rubbish metaphor๐Ÿ™ƒ

This is short sighted.
As you say, Drs work both private and NHS but they ARE allowed to do so and they earn more in private, which they're entitled to do.
We can discuss whether in the future we stop allowing NHS trained staff to work privately but until then, we should use their services.

Yep. He could still lie but at least a statement such as that 'appears' to be honest.

I think it's fair to say that he's not as smart as he (or MAGA) thinks he is.

And there's a far more simple and honest answer but he MUST lie.

"To be honest, I've not had the time to read books for many years as I'm so busy with my business interests"
I've probably not read a book since my teens"

Particularly when everything they'd ever said or written during their political career has been total bollocks.
Nadine Dorries on the latest Question Time being a prime example.

Sometimes, we're embarrassed about things we don't know. We don't like to be ridiculed or humiliated. We don't like people thinking less or ill of us. But admitting it & hoping for decency & kindness in return is infinitely better than pretending & being found out.
