Sunak: Dire Polling.
Rishi Sunak promised to be whiter than white, open and transparent when he succeeded Boris. Sunak was once the rising star of the Conservative Party. He stood as leader and lost to Liz Truss. People thought that's it, game over for Wishy-Washy Rishi. However, because of a gross error in the economy made by Truss and her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, there followed yet another leadership contest. Boris considered entering it but didn't. Penny Mordaunt pulled out (and later became a minister in Sunak's cabinet) and Wishy-Washy Rishi's career was resurrected. As Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister.

Ben Wallace: May Step Down.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace is the longest-serving person in this post. Mr. Wallace, an MP. for the North-West of England, is considering resigning. It is nothing to do, so sources say, with any friction with Rishi Sunak. But it may be to do with a proposed reshuffle of the cabinet.

'Stop The Boats' Policy is Sinking.
Boats have been crossing the English Channel for some time now. Year after year people take to dinghies paying criminals exorbitant prices for this. To take to craft, never designed, to carry hordes of people. Some sadly, capsize, in the English Channel. Often, with loss of life, while others do make it ashore. Most are picked up by Royal Navy or Coast Guard and RNLI craft and ferried to shore. They are held in detention centres, hotels, etc. What happens then is dependent on circumstances. One thing is clear, though, the UK has to be compassionate, but many people coming here illegally is putting a strain on our already shaky services.

Labour 20 Points Ahead.
If Sky News 'Poll of Polls' is accurate, Sir Keir has much to celebrate. His Labour Party has widened the vast canyon between them and the Conservatives. The Labour Party now has a 20% lead over the government. Since Boris stepped down as leader, along with the Liz Truss fiasco, when Sunak came to power, the Tories have been in the doldrums.

Australia Extends Visa.
Australia was discovered by Captain Cook in the 18th Century. After that, poor old Captain Cook was murdered by Native Hawaiians. Australia became a land for shipping British prisoners. Penal colonies run by the British Empire became the norm. No doubt, Native Australians looked on with curiosity as white-skinned men and women poured ashore. Later, many prisoners both men and women gained their freedom and settled the land. Their children were the first European Australians. And so, the process began, of Australia becoming a nation. Gaining its independence from the UK in the early 20th Century.
