RISHI SERVES UP EXPENSIVE DISH

POLICING Minister Kit Malthouse is set to tell every chief constable and elected police commissioner to follow up on all shoplifting, even if the value is below £200.

What does it say about the attitudes of our current police that they have to be told to do this?

SO there is such a thing as a free lunch! Rishi Sunak splurged £30billion on a “bounce back” mini-Budget which means the Government is standing everyone a drink, cutting VAT, spending vast sums trying to help get young people into work, and also preventing bosses getting rid of other staff.

While it still seems weird that we can go the cinema, pub and restaurant but we still can’t go to the theatre or the gym, the direction the Chancellor mapped out last week makes sense.

There is one giant, all-encompassing cloud on the horizon.

If there is a second wave in the winter, all the financial stimulus on the planet will not be enough to get us, or the world, through.

Accomplished as he undoubtedly is, Mr Sunak must realise he is not the sole master of his destiny.
