Peppa Pig and prolonged pauses – it is, I think, time to start worrying about the prime minister.
At the end of this speech, in an interview with ITV, the interviewer, having watched the speech, and gauged the audience reaction, saw fit to pose the following question: “Is everything OK, prime minister?”

Mark Barrow has spent thirty years filming underwater clips that document the state of Britain’s rivers and streams. In the last twenty years, he has seen the percentage of UK waterways classified as healthy drop from over 90% to less than 15%.

Perhaps the country is finally about to see through Boris Johnson. Everyone does in the end.
Boris Johnson is the prime minister of a country that is a genuine world leader on carbon reduction. And here he was, covering the arses of the countries that deliberately sabotaged Cop26, for no reason beyond his own juvenile boosterism.

Starmer suggests PM is using Brexit fights to distract from other areas.
“There’s a little bit of me, Andrew, I am afraid that can’t help think that the prime minister is constantly trying to pick a fight on things like this so he hopes people don’t look elsewhere in the forest, which are things like the Owen Paterson affair.”
What happened in the House of Commons yesterday was so foul, the stench might never clear.
What happened on Wednesday afternoon in the House of Commons was absolutely not a politician making the rules then failing to abide by them himself. It was a politician, having been found utterly in breach of them, entirely and unequivocally bang to rights, and responding by having his mates, and the government itself, just rip the rules up altogether.

This is a disgrace.
Tory MPs have been defending themselves from accusations they have given the go-ahead to water companies to dump raw sewage in rivers.
A proposal from the Lords to the Environment Bill that would have placed legal duties on the companies to reduce discharges was defeated by 265 MPs’ votes to 202 last week.
