Major blow for Jeremy Hunt as public do not back Tories on economy in wake of budget
Jeremy Hunt does not have the confidence of the public, a new poll has shown, with just 39 percent of people saying they back the Chancellor on the economy in the wake of his budget. A poll, conducted by Techne UK for the Daily Express, asked voters who they trust on the economy, between Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt or Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves. Just 39 percent of people backed the Mr Sunak and Mr Hunt, 19 percent said they don't know, while 42 percent said they back Sir Keir and Ms Reeves. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/othe...76e5a03e&ei=23

Boris Johnson has submitted evidence to MPs investigating whether he misled Parliament over Covid rule-breaking parties in Downing Street.
The former prime minister, who denies misleading MPs, wants his defence to be published as soon as possible. The Privileges Committee said it was reviewing the material to make redactions before publication. Mr Johnson will be questioned by the cross-party committee in a televised session on Wednesday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65012967

Two former prime ministers, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, are to vote against Rishi Sunak's new Brexit deal for Northern Ireland in a debate later.
Mr Johnson said the deal would either mean Northern Ireland remained tied to the EU, or the UK would not be able to take advantage of Brexit. Ms Truss believes it would not resolve issues with a deal Mr Johnson struck with the EU in 2019. Other Brexit-backing Tories are also expected to oppose the deal. The decision of two former PMs to oppose the deal may embolden Brexit-backing Conservative MPs to rebel against the government. But Northern Ireland Minister Steve Baker denounced the pair, telling broadcasters he would tell them "they're both better than this". Mr Johnson risks "looking like a pound shop Nigel Farage" by voting against the deal, he added. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65034260

MPs vote in favour of regulations to implement the Stormont Brake section of Rishi Sunak's Windsor Framework deal.
The deal aims to fix post-Brexit problems in Northern Ireland - the Stormont Brake gives Assembly members the chance to raise objections. Despite dissent from his own MPs, the controversial part of the deal is approved by 515 votes to 29 Several high-profile Tory MPs said they would vote against it - Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Priti Patel among them. The DUP did not support it - it has been boycotting the NI Assembly due to the current post-Brexit trading arrangements. Members of a key group of Eurosceptic Tory MPs also advised members to vote against it. Who are the 22 Tory rebels? In the end, only 22 Tory MPs voted against the Stormont Brake, fewer than Rishi Sunak might have feared. But there are some striking names on that list, which includes two ex-prime ministers, a former party leader and other recognisable names. See it in full below. Adam Afriyie Sir Jake Berry Peter Bone Sir William Cash Sir Christopher Chope Simon Clarke Richard Drax Sir James Duddridge Sir Iain Duncan Smith Mark Francois Jonathan Gullis Adam Holloway Andrea Jenkyns Boris Johnson David Jones Danny Kruger Craig Mackinlay Dr Matthew Offord Priti Patel John Redwood Jacob Rees-Mogg Liz Truss They were joined in the voting lobbies by six DUP MPs and Andrew Bridgen, a suspended Tory who now sits as an independent. The Stormont brake passed comfortably, but it's worth noting that without support from Labour and other opposition parties, the government would have lost the vote. In the end, 48 Tory MPs didn't vote at all and only 280 - well below a parliamentary majority - positively voted with the government.

Bozo Johnson and most other politicians in Westminster wouldn't pass that Question Time test either, the House of Lords are in the same boat, or should it be the same "Trough" as well.

The "same trough" is well-filled, whatever your political position may be

Now this is one subject I feel I can support my government on.
The Government is considering further steps to try and put a stop to illegal immigrants crossing the Channel on a daily basis. The government's Illegal Migration Bill would ban anyone who enters the country illegally from claiming asylum on arrival - or in the future. It would also create an annual cap on the number of refugees the UK will settle through "safe and legal routes", and impose a legal duty on the Home Secretary to swiftly detain and remove anyone who arrives illegally. There are currently more than 51,000 people being housed in 395 hotels which costs around £6m a day. Disused ferries are being considered to house people - but this has not been confirmed and former airbases in Lincolnshire and Essex are among sites being looked at. More than 45,000 reached the UK via the dangerous route last year, up from around 300 in 2018. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65074419

"3 deals later & these Tory muppets are still fighting the Brexit wars. After all what else can they do? They have destroyed the country so they will either blame refugees, the UN, the EU, the ECHR or the "establishment". They have no other proposition to offer for the worst-performing country in the G7. Inflation spiked again when everywhere else is going down, in the UK it is increasing further. Right, so after the 3rd revision of the Brexit deal, this last iteration is still not good enough apparently, despite the fact that the US is passing a bill through the Senate that makes an FTA contingent to keeping the GFA and consequently the Brexit deal intact. The ECHR is also baked into it because the EU has openly said that leaving the ECHR is a deal-breaker. Tory right-whingers want to leave the ECHR so they can proceed with the Rwanda plan to permanently remove all refugees from British soil. All 70k of them that arrived in the past 5 years. Because that is precisely what will solve British problems combined with hard-core anti-Europeanism." ^ "How is removing 70k Rwandans from England going to help the UK economically [...] ? What is the average birth rate for English families by the way? Don't you need more workers working in order to pay taxes to the UK? Another wrote "There is no way to make a Brexit deal that would be better than membership. So all the remakes of the deal are pointless at its core." Re the 70,000 migrants in five years, i wonder how deporting them solves even one of the problems.

Yousaf is going to be both toe curlingly awful and highly entertaining in a car-crash-sort-of-way.
The main joke that's going around is that the potential partition of the UK will be negotiated between a British Indian and a British Pakistani. The Empire Strikes Back indeed! Mike.
