His own worst enemy really

"Wallpapergate: Leaked £200,000 invoice reveals Boris Johnson’s No 11 flat renovation included £7,000 rug and £3,675 trolley"https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-wallpaper-gold-flat-carrie-invoice-b2118185.html£200k and what taste! "Items ordered by Mr Johnson and wife Carrie from upmarket interior designer Lulu Lytle include a £3,675 drinks trolley said to be like the one owned in Paris by ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev".Couldn't they just "open a little shop where they could sell things that people need?"

Tim Stanley on QT - the only panel member to mention UK's low pay being an issue to levelling up.Rather odd that we have to rely on traditional Conservatives to raise issues while Labour stay silent!

The more progressive elements of the Labour Party are talking to the Greens etc to create a progressive alliance especially around a Green New Deal.Unfortunately the current Labour leadership is not progressive and on many policies (actions) are more aligned with the government and even to the right in some cases.https://greennewdealgroup.org/about-the-group/https://www.compassonline.org.uk/publications/21st-century-progressive-alliances-and-political-realignments/

Well, the wallpaper speaks volumes!Perhaps, may I be so bold, as to say we should start listening to the other parties (forget about the other side!)There must be a reason why other parts of the country are voting liberal democrats and the greens.Whether you agree with them or not, listening would not harm!

Ignoring the wallpaper the other amounts will be similar to many ordinary people's energy bills by the time we get to winter.Boris may have gone but the problems remain!I'm not hearing any solutions from either side of the house.
