I gave PMQs a go at lunchtime, especially as I wanted to see how Keith would deal with Liz. I did not watch for long. Starmer was short, to the point, and making it clear Liz stood for the rich, as she more or less admitted, and Labour stood for the poor. He wasted no time on congratulating her, he just got on with it. She, as expected, made promises, claimed to be doing it for the nation, and said nothing, as expected on the first date. It is clear they do not like one another.
After Keith I listened for a short while but it was clear nothing was going to be said. Questions were asked, no answers given, yet we all know who will benefit from this short term government. The opportunities for satire are clear, but the opportunities for the less well paid, and here I refer to Police, Fire and NHS staff as well as those in badly paid work, and I know about those, are non existent. I note the Firemen have been offered 2%. Inflation at around 10%. More strikes, more trouble, the rich still taxed less.
A quick look at the 'Daily Mail' shows the readers are not impressed. Her bots try to defend her but the people understand she is still working for 'Shell.'
I watched the Celtic game on the mobile last night. Lying happily in my bed, on my side, straining my eyes to see the small screen, while Celtic pretended they
were a top side, only to lose to a proper top side by three goals to nil. It could have been so different, but it wasn't.
Today they cry 'unfair,' because Real Madrid have £700 million more than Celtic have. 'The rich clubs beat us, we have no chance.' Considering they have similar benefits over the likes of St Mirren I see no reason for such whining. Whining which will be repeated after Rangers are humbled by Ajax in Amsterdam tonight.
However, good news! I think I have found a way to watch the humbling on the laptop. Such a device is available at BTSport/Watch. As long as I have the correct log in I will be OK. I am convinced nothing will go wrong...
