It’s time to get shot of Tory cheats
JEREMY Corbyn was prepared to do the gentlemanly thing and let the Tories have their conference this week unmolested.
But negotiations broke down because Boris Johnson and his guttersnipe sidekick Dominic Cummings are not gentlemen. The female members of the Cabinet are not even ladies.
Cabinet ministers are a bunch of ferocious wolves who will stop at nothing to crash Britain out of the EU with a no-deal so disastrous it will blight our nation for years to come.
This bunch of incompetent liars and cheaters should be given no quarter. While the Tories are in Manchester they could be ambushed by a confidence vote.
Good. If that swept away the most godawful Prime Minister in living memory, it would be doing the British people a favour.
What the Tories should be doing at this conference is sorting out the NHS, unravelling the mess of universal credit, laying the groundwork for affordable housing.
What we will get is a nauseating Nuremberg rally of rabid Brexiteers whose only agenda is jackbooting us out of Europe.
While they’re quaffing champagne and braying at each other, opposition parties and rebel Tories should use every trick in the Parliamentary book to do in this shambolic government.
Because that’s what the ruthless JohnsonCummings duo would do in their shoes.
WHEN it comes to car insurance dodgers, the law is an ass.
Today the Sunday Mirror reveals that the average fine for driving without insurance is £ 362. But the average annual cost of car insurance is £485. Even an ass can see that means the culprit is quids in.
No wonder the number of motorists fined for this offence has hit a record high of nearly 150,000. That’s 63 per cent up on 2012.
Courts cannot be blamed for this. They are bound by what the politicians hand them.
And this is not the first time that sentencing guidelines have lagged behind what is going on in the real world.
Redressing the balance would be a better use of the PM’s time in Manchester this week than preaching to the converted. He says he believes that punishment should fit the crime.
So prove it, Prime Minister.
IF you were looking for a guru to help you stay cool and calm, Alan Sugar would probably not be your first choice.
But The Apprentice veteran reckons he’s found a way to keep his legendary temper under control... by chanting numbers from one to five. Anything that makes Sugar sweeter is fine by us.
