Boris Johnson not mentioning this so called 'Brexit benefit' at yesterday's early evening presser, says it all really. After all, this is the man who would tubthump and grandstand at every opportunity, witness him wanting to put the Union Jack on AstraZeneca's vaccine phials...

''Political pressure'' Would that be the same political pressure that meant (off the top of my head): The UK received a substantial rebate? The UK didn't have to adopt the Euro? The UK didn't have to be a part of Schengen? The EU would prefer a 'vaccine bloc' but it hasn't stopped Hungary from ordering a Russian vaccine... Under a 2001 directive, member countries may temporarily authorize the distribution of an unauthorized medicinal product "in response to the suspected or confirmed spread of pathogenic agents, toxins, chemical agents or nuclear radiation, any of which could cause harm.

Nothing to do with Brexit...

Week 10 points... Week 10 table...

The Express has long since stopped being a newspaper, nothing more than a propaganda sheet. 'EU on the brink', rinse and repeat...

It also doesn't apply to expats* as it states, instead it's for visitors, holiday makers, and 2nd home owners who's main residence is in the UK. Basically they're griping about not being able to take more than 3 months holiday in a 6 month period, poor wee lambs. Oh, and someone better tell them not to travel if their passport has less than a 6 month expiry date, and to be prepared to wait in those long 'non-EU passport' queues in order to get their passport stamped. Other than that, bon voyage!... *That'll be immigrants to all of you not blessed to be British

Chickens coming home to roost update: Loving how the Mail is trying to frame this, no doubt aware that some of its middle class readership will be affected. The rules aren't 'new', they are existing rules that apply to all non-EU countries. This is exactly what was said before the referendum and since, yet English exceptionalism carried on sticking its head in the sand. Wait till they find out about the requirements needed for their precious pooches to travel with them...

DiaperDon not happy with these images, kudos to whoever decided to give him this teeny weeny table, at least his hands now look in scale...:)

Just think how good he'd have been if he tied up his laces...:)

Oops, forgot to do last weeks tables, probably because points wise it was the most uninteresting ever...:) Week 9 points... Week 9 table...

It's because of this that the jump from far left to far right isn't as difficult as most people assume. The Alt-Right crowd of Brendan O'Neil, Claire Fox et al were once revolutionary Trots/Marxists. Even our resident racist has followed a similar path...

Week 9 fixtures... Saturday 21st November Newcastle United v Chelsea Aston Villa v Brighton & Hove Albion Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City Manchester United v West Bromwich Albion Sunday 22nd November Fulham v Everton Sheffield United v West Ham United Leeds United v Arsenal Liverpool v Leicester City Monday 23rd November Burnley v Crystal Palace Wolverhampton Wanderers v Southampton

That Phil Foden article was used by Raheem Sterling to highlight how differently the Mail portrayed him and Foden both buying their Mum an expensive house. Foden was portrayed positively, while Sterling was portrayed negatively. Both wealthy young footballers who could afford to do it, only difference being their ethnicity. I'll give the Mail the benefit of the doubt (yeah, I know) that their criticism of Rashford wasn't based on ehnicity, but there's no disputing that articles like that knowingly send a dogwhistle to racists to spout their bile, as witnessed above...

Since our resident racist doesn't understand the meaning of hypocrisy, here's an example from the same newspaper, another article about a wealthy young footballer doing the sensible and right thing and buying property to protect his and his family's future. The difference being this is portrayed as a positive thing whereas Rashford's isn't. I wonder why?... Yet more hypocrisy, the same newspaper has run positive articles on another, now retired, footballer, Robbie Fowler, who has built up a property empire to such an extent he ended up in the top 100 Rich List, and runs courses at circa ?1k a head to learn how he did it. Clue, he's a wealthy ex-footballer. A reminder, Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere and billionaire owner of The Daily Mail, pays no UK tax whatsoever because he channels his money through offshore accounts. Here's one of his weekend boltholes...

And what was in the box? Apparently he works at 70 Whitehall, so it wasn't his mug, some stash from the stationary cupboard, or his signed photo of Darth Vader...

Unsurprisingly we're getting conflicting accounts of what led up to Cummings' walk-out, difficult to decide who's telling the truth when both are pathological liars. Cummings leaving by the front door is interesting though, there are more private ways to leave No. 10, so he obviously wanted to be seen and seems to be gearing up for a public spat with Johnson, get stocking-up on the popcorn! This 'leaving' video has some scarily apt music...

Yep, his presser was bizzaro central, meanwhile his hangers-on are taking the Emperor's New Clothes to a new level, fully expect them to continue with some kind of 'virtual presidency' once Biden takes office...

No 10 source say No 10 source has resigned. Too late, damage is done and there's more on the way, yet he gets to slope off while the rest of us pick up the pieces of his political anarchy games...
