Brass Neck
President Biden has been banging on about George Floyd’s legacy and has invited the multi-millionaire Floyd clan to the White House for canapés and blather. Apparently, one of the members has snubbed the invitation because they are ‘not happy’ with the proposed policing bill. You couldn’t make it up. It’s like the Veruca Salt scene…

Fact Off
Dominic Cummings has blown the lid off the transparent Tupperware container that is Government. Apparently, the COVID era was characterised by chaos and crap decision making. Tell us something that we don’t know. Tellingly, pundits are now self-servingly seizing on DC’s perspective. Government supporters who had previously lauded Dom as a genius have fallen back…

Beat Beeb, Yeah!
Princes William and Harry have been steaming into the BBC this week, which is fair enough. They’re having a pop at those who had deceived their Mum. Martin Bashir still hasn’t surfaced, which is also fair enough – he is a bottom-feeder after all. He’s still struggling with the long-term effects of COVID or, as…

Every Cloud
Every cement-dust cloud has a silver lining, and that is arguably the case for Jeremy Corbyn this week. For many years, he has lived under the intangible spectre of antisemitism allegations and to this day remains suspended by the Labour Party for that very reason. Of course, anybody with a scintilla of cerebral vim must…

Ooh, Ooh – The Israelites
It looks like the handbags are out in the Middle East in a simmering conflict that is going to go on and on until the planet finally overheats and dies. Predictably, Israel is the object of international condemnation for its ‘disproportionate’ response to Hamas rocket attacks. The logic seems weird: the Palestinians are going to…

Confirmation by Arse
So, the Downing Street interior decoration bill appears to have rattled some cages. Not sure why, because it’s not as if Johnson has pocketed the cash. He can’t take it all with him once he’s gone. At worst, he’s frittered some dough, but you would have thought that he’d have just done it himself, given…

Gove Is in the Air
As predicted, Demonic Bummings has risen from the ashes, daggers drawn, and the stream of consciousness style of his turgid blog has swiftly transformed into a focused, tight, and determined front-stabbing. It’s almost as if he was assisted with it by a seasoned journalist well-versed in making each word count. Who’d have thunk it? Most…

Priti Grim
News of Priti Patel’s expenses claim of £77,269.40 for highbrow eyebrows has emerged, and we await the cost of Johnson’s back, sack, and crack with spew-wrenching anticipation. Dame Dick should be able to help out on that score. After all, she’s got a track record of doing Brazilians for nothing. The most mind-boggling titbit of…

Cock Walking
‘One day you’re cock of the walk, the next a feather duster’ reads the strapline on Piers Morgan’s Twitter profile. More like, ‘One day you’re cock of the walk, the next a cock walking’. There, I’ve fixed it for you. Morgan’s supporters have cohered behind the #TeamPiers banner although this does seem to have attracted…

Own Goal
Perplexingly, the world seems to have worked itself into a lather about a TV interview that could induce narcolepsy in horses. As far as I understand, Prince Harry is famous because he is the second son of the next King of England, and his wife is, well, married to him. They decided to leave the…
