With no inspiration, a total lack of knowledge and a head full of syrup sponge and Rolos, I spew out syllables in the vague hope of producing something useful.

Two things almost brought me to tears on the tube today.
The first was when two elderly ladies got on and without hesitation two people stood up to offer their seats. I know this should be the norm but I rarely see it happening.
The second was when I looked to my left and noticed the young man on the train next to me reading his Bible.

@cpmcgarrigle The government imposed costs of doing business on the high street are simply too high. Recent hikes to the minimum wage, national insurance etc have put the final nail in the coffin.

All Mouth and No Trousers. Putin Just Proved It.
Keir Starmer promised in March that Britain would go after Putin's shadow fleet even harder. He promised to seize sanctioned Russian vessels. He promised Putin and his cronies would be in no doubt that Britain would always defend its sovereignty. This week Putin sent an armed frigate through the English Channel to escort two sanctioned oil tankers past the white cliffs of Dover. Britain followed behind in a tanker. Not intercepted. Not seized. Followed.
The Admiral Grigorovich, a missile-armed Black Sea fleet frigate, sailed between two sanctioned Russian vessels carrying oil that funds the war Starmer claims to oppose with every fibre of his being. Since his threat was made, more than three hundred shadow fleet ships have passed through British waters. Britain has seized none of them. France has intercepted tankers in the Mediterranean. The United States seized one in January. Britain follows behind and issues statements.
The timing could not be more perfectly chosen by Putin. Starmer was in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, being photographed with regional allies and visiting British troops, in what Labour sources told the Telegraph was a deliberate attempt to recast him as a global statesman ahead of next month's local elections. While he was performing statesmanship in Riyadh, a Russian warship was performing something rather different in the Channel. The contrast requires no commentary.
Connect the dots and the picture is complete. Iran arms Russia with the Shahed drones that have been killing Ukrainian civilians throughout the war. Starmer refused to support action against Iran. Putin's shadow fleet carries the oil that funds those drones and that war. And now Putin is sailing armed frigates through British waters to demonstrate that Starmer's threats are precisely as consequential as his promises have turned out to be. Every link in that chain leads back to the same place.
HMS Dragon, Britain's only deployable destroyer, took three weeks to reach Cyprus after a Shahed drone hit a British base. It has already had to return to port with water supply issues. The defence investment plan that should outline a decade of military spending missed its autumn deadline and remains unpublished. Trump has called British aircraft carriers toys. His defence secretary mocked the Royal Navy. Kemi Badenoch called the delays a national scandal and said Starmer was all mouth and no trousers when it comes to defence. Putin appeared to agree, and expressed his view with a frigate.
A Prime Minister who cannot enforce his own sanctions in his own waters, whose only deployable destroyer breaks down, whose defence plan exists only as a promise, and who chooses to be photographed in Saudi Arabia on the day Russia sails an armed warship past Dover, has not merely failed on defence. He has advertised the failure to every adversary watching. And they are all watching. They have been watching for six weeks. The Channel proved today that they have drawn their conclusions.
"Keir Starmer promised in March that Britain would go after Putin's shadow fleet even harder. [...]. This week Putin sent an armed frigate through the English Channel to escort two sanctioned oil tankers past the white cliffs of Dover."
