Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Hancock axes ‘failing’ Public Health England

Now we will never know how many people died from covid. Oh, wait!

It comes weeks after Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, complained that the country's response to the pandemic had been sluggish
Excuse me? I permanently relocated to another country. How sluggish is that?

Steve Bannon's links to Brexit: Indicted Trump aide is an ally of Nigel Farage and helped found Cambridge Analytica

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... arage.html

Bannon has since continued his pro-Brexit enthusiasm, cementing alliances with like-minded figures such as Mr Farage. 

He is believed to have brought the Brexiteer into the Trump campaign in 2016, when Mr Farage spoke at a rally and provided coaching ahead of the presidential debates. 
The pair were filmed together for a documentary discussing the idea of a pan-European populist movement, fronted by Mr Farage.

There you go now..
Hail Nigel??

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
Gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

The Democrats have been pretty consistent in that message. Undoubtedly Trump thinks he can make trade agreements by executive order, and has told Boris as much. Laws (like taxes) are for the little people.

Nah, UK - being the "old country" - has a "special relationship" with USA.

The last time this relationship worked in UK's favour was during the Falkland War.
