What a shock! Things are coming out that might once have remained hidden. This is an interesting bit about Zahawi. Inland Revenue experts are investigating the tax affairs of new chancellor and Tory leadership hopeful Nadhim Zahawi, The Independent can reveal. HMRC became involved after a...

Do Ukrainian soldiers require visas? Just amazed that, if they need them, (rather than being covered by some military system), they have actually received them.

I have little reason to doubt the information below. Which is where my sarcasm about when the bill was paid came in. If paid in the USA, months ago, ... 14h ago17.21 Rishi Sunak's launch video – snap verdict Andrew Sparrow Rishi Sunak’s launch video is slick and extremely professional. (It is...

Lack of integrity is what differentiates Johnson from all previous PMs.

His having prepared a very polished (and expensive) video ahead of time is also an interesting move. (No, I have not watched it - am relying on multiple descriptions.) Aside from anything else, it would appear that its cost will NOT count against campaign expenses.

Mark Harper just said that Rishi Sunak was not responsible for getting the Covid fine. He turned up and found Johnson already there and partying. However, he didn't shop Johnson. And, so far as I am aware, didn't raise the issue at all. Hence, absolutely guilty of complicity even if his...

Quite sure we won't! At least at the end of WWII we had a pretty amazing Lancaster bomber factory! So, yes, you are probably right.

I think saying that rejoin is policy, now, is probably going to make those who are still even slightly pro-brexit into total enemies. Go in with a "do as well as we can" policy - and see if, within a year or two, the policy can become more towards rejoin. But, as everyone says, we need to be...

A corner turned? Keir Starmer cleared by Durham police of breaking lockdown rules

Well, that's more than my insurance!

Can you imagine his resignation honours list? I mean, would you accept an honour from that? Or would the stain be far worse than not having it at all?

If they leave him in place, they are burning votes by the hour. Especially if he seems to be behaving even more erratically than he has done so far - and yesterday suggests that is possible.

O - ex-ministers - are you only now seeing? Or only now admitting? Leaving him in place another minute is obviously a danger. Just as well he can't issue pardons and execute orders. Tories say 'reckless' Johnson should be forced out now because letting him stay until autumn risky Jessica...

How does car insurance work with a paid-for car but a hired battery? (I can see several possibilities - just realised it is a question I'd never previously thought to ask.)

SAS team - remain on standby. Boris Johnson has agreed to resign, but wants to stay on as PM until new Tory leader elected by autumn Boris Johnson has agreed to resign, the BBC’s Chris Mason reports. He says he wants a new Tory leader to be in place by the party conference. He wants to stay on...

Am just wondering if the Iranian Embassy SAS team is being speedily re-assembled... ?

I see the DT provides little comfort to Johnson: The Telegraph can reveal that the government Whips Office has calculated that Mr Johnson would win the support of just 65 Tory MPs in a new confidence vote, from a total of almost 360. And, by Johnson claiming there would be chaos for three...

Apart from well-known issues such as the energy input required to make such fuels... Just how does this get rid of the various nitrogen oxides produced in all ICE? (Even assuming perfect combustion of the actual fuel.) And one of the other issues which is becoming more widely understood, the...

Just heard Slocock (a civil servant to Thatcher) say better to leave with dignity. Afraid that door was closed on Johnson some considerable time ago.
