Suella Braverman "We cannot bankrupt Britons"
The government promised to cut the UK's emissions by 2030. Phasing out internal combustion engines, gas boilers, etc. would all go. To be replaced by battery-operated cars and pumps. All this to be more energy efficient and climate-friendly. Of course, the UK is not the biggest emitter of poisonous gases. India, China, and the USA are the biggest polluters. Of course, nations like the UK must do their part. As the 'Tesco' ad says, "Every little helps".

Sir Keir Must Present His Credentials
Sir Keir will be meeting President Macron soon. He and his Team will climb the steps of the Elysee Palace to be greeted by Macron. President Macron, from his point of view, will want to familiarise himself, with what could be the UK's next government. The personal chemistry between Macron and Starmer will be important as will be the body language (for you people watchers out there!). Important because Macron and Starmer will need to have a good working relationship, friendship, and similar goals. This will apply when Keir Starmer (as Prime Minister) meets other world leaders.

XL Bully Dogs to Be Banned?
Owning an aggressive dog in the UK is a status symbol among many working-class lads. It's very much a macho thing for young males in this country. The dog supposedly emphasises the status of a young male. Like owning a flash car, the dog like the car, is treated as a status symbol.

Starmer Brands Sunak: 'InAction Man'.
Prime Minister's Questions have always been a stormy and bantery affair. Prime Ministers and Opposition Leaders have always said, they want an end, to 'Punch and Judy' politics. This refers to the constant argumentative and confrontational time that occurs between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Yet, for every statement, to make this affair more calm and peaceable, it hasn't happened.

Chris Packham: Talks to Jeremy Corbyn.
I remember Chris Packham as a kid presenting animal documentaries and programmes for kids. The blonde, spikey-haired, Punk Presenter was upfront about his love for the Planet and all Species upon it. Today, at the age of 62, Packham is no different and is more vociferous about the planet we live on.

Sunak Faces Another Two By-Elections.
Sunak has faced a tumultuous year what with one thing and another. Nadine Dorries MP and close confidant of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned. The representative for Bedfordshire recently handed in her resignation to the Prime Minister. Now, Ms. Dorries can be seen on GB News as a presenter. Nadine Dorries appeared on 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Here'. Appearing scantily clad and taking part in all sorts of so-called 'bush tucker trials'. Originally, from Liverpool, she served as a backbencher during the time of David Cameron. She held a cabinet post under Boris Johnson. Since the time of Sunak, she has resigned.

Sunak Accused of Ignoring School Problem.
Have you ever heard of 'RAAC'? Well if you have been watching UK news broadcasts, you will know, that it is a cheap concrete form. It was used to construct schools in the 70s-80s and probably into the 90s. Not only in schools but in other municipal buildings like courts. Now many schools have been closed because this cheap concrete is causing schools to crumble. This has disrupted thousands of children's school lives. Money will now be needed to upgrade and repair these houses of education.

Sunak's Director of Communications Quits.
Rishi Sunak's Director of Communications Amber de Botton has quit. Ms. de Botton has only served a year in the job. De Botton has quit as next year's general election looms large. It is thought, by many, that the general election will be held in the autumn of 2024. However, the government could hold out until January 2025. If the government's poll ratings remain dire Sunak will probably hold out until the last minute. In this case, it could well be January 2025.

Vivek Told: "Stop Doing Eminem Raps.
The US is gearing up for another Presidential Election. As well as Donald Trump there are Doug Burgum, Chris Christie, Ron De Santis, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence and, Vivek Ramasamy. Donald Trump is still marginally in the lead and the firm favourite to be the candidate to face Joe Biden. Trump is facing 90 charges and there is a very real possibility the next President, could be governing the US, from behind bars. Yes, folks, it could actually happen, Trump governing the US, from a prison cell. But there is a way to go yet. Besides Trump, Ron De Dantis is a favourite. As is, Vivek Ramaswamy.
