It shows how bad our current government is that Grayling as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland sounds plausible. :lol:

Confirmation that the Queen is planning on living until she's 185.

I'd imagine it's impossible to find a Tory MP who hasn't said things like that.

In a normal society with a normal government she'd have to immediately resign.

I’m not even surprised anymore that the Tories would select a person for equalities minister who has these views. It’s almost like it’s done on purpose or I suppose it’s the Tories they would be hard pushed to find someone in their ranks that probably doesn’t hold similar views.

There are lots of "liers" in NHS hospitals though. They're lying on their front because it's easier to breathe when you're strawberry floated by Covid...

Didn't they have an anti feminist in the role at some point.

The Guardian has decided to join The Sun, Times and Telegraph in making its ABC print circulation figures private to the public. Last public audit in July put sales of The Guardian at 105,134 copies per day on average. Observer was on 136,656. Basically sales are declining so rapidly they don't want you to know about it (instead look out for massaged press releases like the Telegraph stating 'we have loads of subscribers, honest'). The others, for August:

Metro - FREE: 1,013,141 (up 101% year-on-year)
Daily Mail: 925,545 (down 7% year-on-year)
Mail on Sunday: 809,728 (-7%)
Evening Standard - FREE: 493,801 (-4%)
Daily Mirror: 351,509 (-10%)
Sunday Mirror: 281,252 (-11%)
Daily Express: 232,296 (-8%)
Daily Star: 211,390 (-11%)
Sunday Express: 204,012 (-8%)
The i: 144,570, 4,620 of those free copies (-5%)
Daily Star Sunday: 123,581 (-12%)
Sunday People: 105,786 (-16%)
FT: 105,213, 32,246 of those free/bulk copies (+12%)

To be blunt about it, I think the declining Express sales represents how many of their readers died that month.

Probably a good idea to change an election system that results in Jeremy Corbyn as the winner.
