The King Makes £1 Million Selling 14 Of The Queen’s Beloved Racehorses

King Charles has made more than £1 million by selling off 14 of the late Queen’s beloved racehorses, strengthening fears that he might be preparing to wind down the royal racing operation.

The King sold more than a third of his mother’s racehorses, which he inherited upon her demise last month, at the renowned Tattersalls October sales in Newmarket, Suffolk this week.

The royal racehorses made him an average of £76,821 each, £1,075,500 in total, with Charles’s first race-winning horse ‘Just Fine’ being sold for £300,000.

Trained by the Queen’s longest-standing trainer Sir Michael Stoute, ‘Just Fine’ won an outstanding victory in Leicester earlier this month, the first win since the late monarch’s demise on September 8.

He was one of four of the Queen’s former horses that sold for six-figure sums.

Meanwhile, ‘Love Affairs’, which was the Queen’s last winner at Goodwood two days before her death, sold for £38,000.

Charles has already had some success since inheriting his mother’s racehorses, with ‘Perfect Alibi’ earning him £28,000 with victory in a Listed contest at Yarmouth earlier this month, but despite this, there are whispers that the new monarch might be preparing to wind down, or at least scale back, the royal racing operation.

A source close to the Royal Sandringham Stud in Norfolk said there’s talk of winding down the breeding process over three years until it ceases to be a commercial operation.

The source said that the Royal stud could be a museum in three years and that it would be a real shame.

A Royal source confirmed Charles will reduce the number of horses but added that the connection between the family and the horse racing enterprise will continue and that there was a desire to continue with the practices and connections with Royal Ascot but not on the same scale as Her Majesty because she had a passion.

The source added that some horses have already been sold as part of the natural churn of buying and selling that comes with running the collection.

The Queen usually sold around seven horses a year, so this month’s sale represents a significant increase, but speaking before the auction, Tattersall’s spokesman Jimmy George denied that the sale of 14 horses was anything out of the ordinary, and he told the BBC that the Queen had brood mares of her own, and she would breed them and sell them and that you can’t keep them all.

It’s an extremely costly pursuit, even just caring for a horse costs a lot, let alone training and breeding et cetera. Perhaps it would be better to streamline it, particularly if your passions lie elsewhere because you need to be fully committed to the process or move the horses on.

It makes perfect sense, especially if Charles doesn’t share his mother’s affection for horses or horse racing.

King Charles made a ton of money just by selling all those horses. I mean, how much money does this born-to-be-rich guy have? Why can’t he give some of that obscene wealth to struggling people? That would certainly then make him a Monarch fit for our times! But right now, he’s a King who has castles, and racehorses, while some people out there are starving and freezing.

The Queen spent money on her hobbies, of which horse racing was the primary one. Clearly, Charles doesn’t have the same pursuits and he doesn’t have to because he’s more interested in conservation, and he should be allowed to spend his own money how he sees fit, but a little hand out to the needy and disadvantaged wouldn’t go amiss, particularly those soldiers that went to war for their country and are now living on the streets.

In The Absence Of The New Prime Minister, Akshata Murty Supervises The Removal Men

Rishi Sunak’s multi-millionaire wife Akshata Murty has been spotted giving instructions to movers unloading the family’s furniture as the Prime Minister’s press secretary confirmed that they were moving back into No 10 Downing Street.

Akshata Murty was looking relaxed in fur sliders, grey leggings, a light grey jumper and a black fluffy gilet, as she was pictured strolling into No 10 for the first time since her husband became Prime Minister, just six months after the family moved out of Downing Street to their £6.6 million Kensington townhouse.

Movers were also spotted carrying a double mattress and what looked like a barbeque into No 10 Downing Street.

The Sunak family has decided to return to the No 10 flat, where they lived while Rishi Sunak was Chancellor of the Exchequer, instead of moving into the more spacious flat at No 11, and that has been the custom for prime ministers since 1997 when Sir Tony Blair swept to power.

As two moving vans parked outside the house, the recently appointed Chairman of the Conservative Party Nadhim Zahawi was also photoed strolling past in a matching navy tracksuit and a green baseball cap.

Yesterday, Ms Murty, a British-born Indian heiress and fashion designer, was spotted exiting the couple’s London home sporting a black baseball cap, a white long-sleeved sweatshirt, black tracksuit bottoms and black sliders.

Speculation was rampant over whether the family would retreat to earlier living arrangements, with Rishi Sunak dividing his time between Downing Street and his house in west London.

In April Rishi Sunak, his wife Akshata Murty, their daughters Krishna and Anoushka and family labrador Nova moved out to be nearer to the children’s £22,000 a year private school.

Coming around the same time that news emerged that Rishi Sunak’s wife Akshata Murty, had claimed non-dom tax status, reportedly saving her millions, there was a belief the move was linked to a wish to evade media attention, although Rishi Sunak denied that at the time.

But earlier this week, Rishi Sunak’s press secretary told reporters they would be moving into the No 10 flat, where they used to live.

Asked whether the family intends to decorate the flat, his press secretary said that they were not aware of it.

It means that they won’t live in the flat above No 11, which was refurbished by Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie for an estimated £200,000 in the so-called wallpapergate scandal, which notoriously involved gold wallpaper that cost thousands of pounds.

So, Rishi Sunak is the Prime Minister and his wife is the first lady, and she has a ton of money, although her worth has got nothing to do with the Prime Minister’s ability to do his job, although he’s set for life now, mind you, he was set for life before becoming Prime Minister, and think of all those book deals and conference speeches to keep the millions rolling in for years and years after he’s done with being Prime Minister.

The man bragged about having no working-class friends and then he expects us to like him. He’s not for the needy, he’s only out there for himself, and he wouldn’t know deprivation if it slapped him between the eyeballs, but at least his wife looks happy.

However, I suppose we should give the poor man a chance. It appears that he’s easily the best academic, financial and business knowledge of any of them, but we’re very possibly stuffed if he can’t improve things.

State Pensions

With the cost of living spiralling, people across the country need certainty about their pensions.

Most pensioners have a fixed income and millions of over 66s depend on the state pension as their primary source of money to buy life’s necessities.

The UK state pension is the worst in the developed world, with nine out of ten older people getting £142 per week or less.

The Triple Lock was introduced to protect the state pension from falling further behind earnings and inflation, as it had done for several decades.

The Lock means that each year the state pension should increase by the higher of prices, earnings or 2.5 per cent.

The Conservatives pledged to maintain the Triple Lock in their 2019 Manifesto, but suspended it, supposedly for one year, in April 2022, citing the unique circumstances of the pandemic. This resulted in a rise of only 3.1 per cent on the state pension in April when inflation was already heading towards 10 per cent.

The Government is contemplating whether to suspend or discard the Triple Lock again, at a time when most older households are struggling to pay their energy and food bills.

The Daily Express has joined the over-60s campaign organisation Silver Voices in launching a petition to persuade the Government to protect and support pensioners, asking the Government to maintain and recommit to the triple lock.

Getting your pension is not a benefit. It’s not something that the DWP are handing out to you because of your age, it’s something that most people paid into while they were working from the age of 16 and pensioners are worth every penny of what they paid in from their hard earnt wages.

UK pensions are one of the lowest in the western developed world and people are now tired of the broken promises by their government.

That’s if people ever get their pensions because people have been chasing theirs for years. Now, this isn’t a social handout, it’s money they have paid into so that they can retire at a reasonable age. Now you have to work till you drop. But this is money that people paid into, it’s NOT a handout by our government, but the government seem to believe that you’re not entitled to it and also has the cheek to put an age limitation on it.

So, what are the government doing with our hard-earned money because they’re definitely not giving it to us, so where’s it gone?

These people have worked hard for over 60 years and have been looking forward to getting their pension so that they don’t freeze to death or go hungry, but our government seem happy to pay out billions on illegal immigration when charity should begin at home, particularly when they’ve contributed for years working.

Now, people who paid into a system from the time they started work, want what they’re owed, and rightly so, it’s their money, not the government’s because essentially the government are stealing their hard-earned money and using it for things that they shouldn’t be using it for.

People have paid into their pensions, but some fool in government has spent the investment money.

Pensions are a disgrace and pensioners are being robbed, and pensioners have worked and contributed all their lives and they deserve their money. It was promised and promises must be kept if the government want its credibility to be seen, and governments that break promises should be disbanded immediately.

The state of this country is not the fault of pensioners who’ve been the spine of the economy for years, and as such, should not be punished for the government’s incompetence.

New Crackdown On Dodging Rail Fares Increases Fines Five-Fold To £100

The penalty for rail fare dodgers is to soar fivefold to £100 in a crackdown.

The Department for Transport (DfT) expects to recoup more of the £240 million lost to fare evasion on the railways in England and Wales each year.

It follows concerns that the current £20 fine, introduced in 2005, was no longer a deterrent.

A DfT spokesman said that with over £240 million lost every year due to fare evasion on their railways, it’s important deterrents are effective and fair.

On top of the £100 fine, fare dodgers will also have to pay the price of the ticket they failed to buy. The penalty will be cut to £50 if payment is made in 21 days.

The increase, to be introduced in the spring, brings railways in line with other transportation providers, such as Manchester’s Metrolink.

It also means penalties in England and Wales will be more elevated than in many European countries, such as Germany where evaders pay £55, and France, where they pay £46.

The DfT added that fare evasion costs train operators, rail passengers and taxpayers who ultimately subsidise the journeys of those who deliberately travel by train without paying the correct fare, and said that the Rail Delivery Group estimates that in a normal year about £240 million is lost through fare evasion on Great Britain’s railways.

The Department of Transport said that when placed against the profound effect coronavirus has had on passenger numbers and industry revenues, it’s never been more important to minimise the cost of fare evasion to the railways.

Penalty fares are only given in instances where there were facilities to purchase a ticket at a passenger’s departure station, and they have passed signs stating the consequences of not having a ticket.

The DfT said it will give an update in spring 2022 on when the new penalty fare in England and Wales will be introduced.

There are countless people caught after surveillance, who are regular fare dodgers on costly routes, and commuter routes serving London. Mind you, I look forward to the day when we the people can fine them for late trains, cancelled trains, dirty trains, and having to stand up on full trains, and no dining car facilities et cetera.

Perhaps they should open up more ticket offices and have more ticket collectors, and I do appreciate that this might require some joined-up thought on their part, but if they did this, then maybe there might not be so many fare dodgers.

Ticket collectors don’t even check tickets on board anymore, and haven’t done for an extremely long time.

All they have to do is put foolproof barriers up. No pass, no ticket, you can’t get through or even jump them, it could be done with a wee bit of thought, or they could implement a system that you can’t get to the train unless you have a valid ticket and that it would be physically impossible as the gates would be stopping you – problem cracked.

Armageddon Is Looming As Vladimir Putin Watches His Military Prepare

Vladimir Putin watched on as Russia simulated a huge nuclear strike with practice launches of ballistic and cruise rockets.

The dictator remotely observed the annual exercise, called ‘Grom’ or ‘Thunder’, which uses test launches to put Moscow’s nuclear forces through their paces in a display of force to the West.

Defence minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Vladimir Putin that the exercises were intended to emulate a retaliatory massive nuclear strike by Russia.

The exercises involved the test firing of a Yars land-based intercontinental ballistic projectile from the northern Plesetsk launch site and the launch of a Sineva ICBM by a Russian nuclear submarine in the Barents Sea, only ten miles away from the shores of NATO member Norway.

As part of the exercise, Tu-95 strategic bombers also launched cruise rockets at practice targets.

The manoeuvres followed Vladimir Putin’s warning about his willingness to use all means available to fend off raids on Russia’s region in a reference to the country’s nuclear arsenals.

The Kremlin said that all tasks assigned for the exercise were fulfilled and all the missiles that were test-fired reached their set targets.

Such drills involving land, sea and air components have taken place on an annual basis to prepare the country’s nuclear forces and show their willingness.

The Biden administration said that Russia gave notice it planned to stage routine exercises of its nuclear abilities.

The Pentagon and US State Department said Russia had complied with the terms of the last US-Russia arms control deal in informing Washington of the forthcoming tests.

The Russian activities comes amid Moscow’s warnings of a purported Ukrainian conspiracy to detonate a radioactive device typically known as a dirty bomb in a false flag attack to blame Russia.

Ukraine and its allies firmly repudiate the allegation, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that it was absurd. Allies reject this blatantly untrue indictment, and Russia must not use false pretexts to escalate the war further.

NATO’s Stoltenberg emphasised that the 30-nation military organisation wouldn’t be intimidated or discouraged from supporting Ukraine’s right to self-defence for as long as it takes.

There are fears that Russia is pushing the claims because that is why the Kremlin is preparing to use the deadly device that uses explosives to scatter radioactive debris.

Vladimir Putin told a gathering of intelligence officials from the CIS group of ex-Soviet nations that the West was pumping Ukraine with heavy weapons, adding there were also plans to use a so-called dirty bomb for provocations.

What can I say, this dude really is a full-on loon, threatening to blow up the world because Russia, already the largest country in the world, needs a bit more space to spread out into, all that’s missing now is the white cat in his lap. The thing that makes me laugh is that while Putin is readying for Armageddon, the UK Met Office warns of an unseasonably warm week ahead.

People would rather see this as a threat, rather than Russia making it apparent to the Americans that they’re able to protect themselves if they need to, but undoubtedly with nuclear projectiles.

And if Vladimir Putin did set on Ukraine with nuclear power, why would he want it after it had been contaminated with nuclear waste, just shows what a lunatic he really is.

Vladimir Putin isn’t a lion, he’s more of an organised crime boss. He’s trying to rob land and resources, and he might be dressed up as other things, but really he’s just a crime boss, and the world shouldn’t be held to ransom by Vladimir Putin’s paranoia.

COUNCILS Will Now Issue Speeding Fines Of £130 To Anyone Driving Faster Than 20mph

A London council will start issuing £130 speeding penalties to anyone driving faster than 20mph as drivers fear they will be fleeced by authorities.

Wandsworth Council is launching a pilot scheme where it can give tickets to motorists exceeding the 20mph limit in residential areas, roads which often have fewer fixed cameras and mobile patrols from police.

The new power, lasting for up to eight months, will see the council stealing the £130 fine instead of it going into a central government pot. Penalties are usually administered by the police.

If considered a success, the scheme could be rolled out across London, where almost half of the streets have a 20mph limit.

Drivers will not be given three points on their licence, or have to attend a speed awareness course, under the scheme.

The AA has said that speeding should not be dealt with like a parking ticket.

Joe Ventre, from the Taxpayers’ Alliance, also told a newspaper outlet that speeding enforcement should not become fishing trips to secure money for councils and that motorists should be rightly concerned that speeding penalties will be more about filling council coffers than keeping roads safe.

He added that the cost of running the pilot shouldn’t put extra burdens on taxpayers.

The Labour-run council is targeting two residential roads where locals gripe about speeding motorists: Priory Lane in Roehampton and Wimbledon Park Road.

The former is popular among cyclists travelling between Roehampton and Richmond Park while the latter leads to the renowned tennis grounds.

Studies in both locations found that one in four motorists disregard the speed limit along Priory Lane and one in five do so along Wimbledon Park Road.

Wandsworth Council leader Simon Hogg said that speeding is one of the greatest problems for residents.

He told a newspaper outlet that if it’s considered a success, they will look to make it permanent and carry out enforcement in other parts of the borough where they know vehicle speeds are excessive.

All roads within London’s congestion charge zone have a limit of 20mph, with it seen as the default maximum in most of the 33 boroughs.

Transport for London announced that by March next year, a further 17 miles of roads in Camden, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Tower Hamlets will have the same speed limit.

Wandsworth will lower the penalty from £130 to £65 if it’s paid within a fortnight, with notification letters being issued in the first few weeks, as motorists become aware of the changes.

This appears a total waste of time when we could be dealing much better to prevent knife and drug offences in our community, but they’re now scared to arrest people in case they offend them, it’s embarrassing, but this is council enforcement, who obviously think they are the police.

What they should be doing is making knife crime a financial penalty instead.

This is just a money-making racket, it has nothing to do with road safety at all. Driving 30mph isn’t speeding though, and to reduce roads to 20mph makes commuting even more unbearable, but we will all go along with it nonetheless.

This is all extremely lucrative, along with the Congestion Charge and the ULEZ charge, and any other taxes we pay. Next, they’ll be charging us for breathing fresh air, I’m sure that’s in the pipeline somewhere, although there’s no such thing as fresh air because it’s been contaminated with Benzene, Xylene, Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide and other cancerous volatile organic particulates, and that’s not just from cars, although they are blamed all the time.

Yeezy come, Yeezy go!

German sportswear goliath Adidas has officially cut relations with rapper Kayne West over his controversial remark.

Kayne West, 45, has been accused of going on several anti-Semitic tirades on social media.

The rapper has seen his social media posts deleted and had accounts restricted because of the comments.

Adidas previously put its partnership with Ye under consideration earlier this month, and now says they could lose $250 million in the split.

Forbes estimates that Kanye West could lose his billionaire status with the loss of the Adidas x Yeezy collaboration.

Kayne West has split from multiple corporate partnerships in recent weeks including Balenciaga and GAP, and he was dropped by talent agency CAA.

Kanye West could lose his billionaire status after being dropped by Adidas amid growing backlash over his anti-Semitic rant, as GAP tears down his Yeezy products from their stores.

The rapper’s $220 million annual deal with the German sports brand, which is worth $1.5 billion in total, has been terminated after his controversial conduct.

According to Forbes, Kayne West, 45, is set to lose his billionaire status after cutting ties with the sportswear giant and is presently worth $2 billion.

The father of four’s wealth could plunge to below $1 billion after the termination of the brand, which comes after several other lucrative deals have been dropped.

Adidas reported that they would be ending their collaboration in a statement, with the sportswear maker having put its deal with Ye under review.

They claim that they made repeated efforts earlier this month to privately settle the situation.

GAP has also criticised Kayne West’s remarks, saying that they’re taking prompt steps to remove Yeezy GAP products from their stores and shut down their website.

Universal Music’s Def Jam has also condemned Kayne West’s comments, after splitting with the rapper last year.

They said that Def Jam’s relationship with Ye as a recording artist, its association with the GOOD Music label venture and Ye’s merchandise agreement with Bravado all ended in 2021.

They said there’s no place for antisemitism in our society, and they were extremely determined to combating antisemitism and every other form of discrimination.

It comes days after Kanye West claimed on a podcast that the sneaker colossus couldn’t drop him despite saying anti-Semitic things.

Adidas’ share price fell more than 50 per cent over the past six months and is expected to drop even further in the wake of the announcement.

However, Adidas does have links with Hitler and Nazi Germany.

The Dassler brothers, who took the trade names of Adidas and Puma, began shoe production in the 1920s in their hometown of Herzogenaurach, Germany, a hot spot for shoemaking in Bavaria with more than 100 individual shoemakers.

What distinguished Rudolph and Adolf ‘Adi’ Dassler was not just their readiness to become members of the Nazi party, securing their business success under Aryan supremacy, but their ambitions.

With the expansion of the war in December 1943, Hitler converted civilian business operations to military manufacturing.

Now instead of making sports shoes, the Dasslers made boots for Nazi soldiers as well as the Panzerschreck bazookas in their factory.

Both brothers were summoned to duty with Rudolf joining the Gestapo. Adi served only one year while his brother remained until the end of the war.

When Rudolf found himself in an American internment camp, he suspected he had been denounced by his brother who was now occupied making baseball and basketball boots for Americans.

A lifelong grievance separated the brothers. The one company was split, Adi started ‘Adidas’ and Rudolf launched ‘Puma’.

Kayne West deserves this because there’s no room for hostility and discrimination, and Adidas made the right decision and kudos to every individual and company that stands against hatred and prejudice because the world’s a much better place without it.

Kayne West is an obnoxious hate-filled man, and he needs to grow up and learn that actions and words have consequences, which he will do when he starts running out of money because nobody will touch him business-wise. He’s a disgusting excuse for a human being and his words will follow him for the remainder of his life.

Deliveroo-Style Same-Day Contraception Could Be Offered On The NHS By BIKE

MPs have backed calls for the NHS to provide a same-day delivery service for the morning-after pill after a Deliveroo-style pilot was trialled with students during the fresher’s week in Manchester.

The trial, which was the first of its kind in the United Kingdom, delivered emergency contraception to women using a bike courier hours after they completed a brief questionnaire online.

Conservative MP Caroline Nokes, chairman of the Women and Equalities Committee, told a newspaper outlet they all know the morning-after pill works most effectively when it’s taken as quickly as possible. That’s why they should be looking to lower obstacles to access and make it as non-judgemental as possible.

She said she would like to see services like this commissioned by the NHS, which would give people more confidence that they were accessing the pills online from reputable suppliers.

The pilot was launched by the sexual health platform The Lowdown in central Manchester between Tuesday 20 and Friday 30 September and allowed women over the age of 18 to order emergency contraception online via the questionnaire.

Orders placed before 5 pm were delivered to women for free by a bicycle messenger before 9 pm the same evening.

Alice Pelton, founder of The Lowdown said they launched the campaign to raise awareness about the issues surrounding emergency contraception, which no other company has done.

The morning-after pill is offered for free at GP surgeries and sexual health clinics across the United Kingdom, but this option isn’t available on weekends and women are usually questioned by a healthcare professional before receiving the pill.

Emergency contraception can also be purchased from some pharmacies after a consultation, but most only offer next-day delivery or require you to collect in-store.

Ms Pelton said that the morning-after pill is still associated with shame and the usual procedure of getting it can make you feel a tad rubbish.

She said women frequently need to trek long distances and have a public discussion with a pharmacist over the counter about how many sexual partners they’ve had, which can be quite an intense conversation, particularly when you’re a young student in a new city.

Last year, a survey of 2,086 women by the Lowdown discovered that 53 per cent of respondents had encountered difficulties accessing contraception despite local authorities being required to deliver a wide range of services to prevent accidental pregnancies.

But how about men carrying condoms, or is this just too simple for them to do?

Sadly women are browbeaten into believing that sex is sinful, which is an extremely peculiar Victorian perspective. Sex is not immoral but we’ve just been brainwashed by theology, but of course, we don’t want every other woman pregnant because she couldn’t get access to the morning-after pill, nor should a woman be asked a million and one questions as to why she wants it, it’s rather evident why a woman would want it.

Women generally don’t want to be having a discussion about their most private sexual details or relationships over the counter with the pharmacist in public. Of course, the alternative is having unwanted babies, and I believe that the delivery of the morning-after pill is the lesser of the two evils.

Of course, the NHS was created to deal with illness and sickness, not to facilitate sexual promiscuity, but as much as one might whine about it, there are numerous unwanted births that could have been avoided if women just had access to the morning-after pill.

There were multiple abortions in the United Kingdom last year, and spending funds to prevent them from having babies is just an investment.

We Will Create A Future Worthy Of The Sacrifices So Many Have Made And Fill Tomorrow With Hope

Rishi Sunak gave his first address as Prime Minister. It was one of the longest speeches delivered by a newly appointed Prime Minister in decades.

He spoke for five minutes and 56 seconds and promised to fill the future with hope:

Good morning,

I have just been to Buckingham Palace and accepted His Majesty The King’s invitation to form a government in his name.

It is only right to explain why I am standing here as your new Prime Minister.

Right now our country is facing a profound economic crisis.

The aftermath of Covid still lingers.

Putin’s war in Ukraine has destabilised energy markets and supply chains the world over.

I want to pay tribute to my predecessor Liz Truss, she was not wrong to want to improve growth in this country, it is a noble aim.

And I admired her restlessness to create change.

But some mistakes were made.

Not borne of ill will or bad intentions. Quite the opposite, in fact. But mistakes nonetheless.

And I have been elected as leader of my party, and your Prime Minister, in part, to fix them.

And that work begins immediately.

I will place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this government’s agenda.

This will mean difficult decisions to come.

But you saw me during Covid, doing everything I could, to protect people and businesses, with schemes like furlough.

There are always limits, more so now than ever, but I promise you this –
I will bring that same compassion to the challenges we face today.

The government I lead will not leave the next generation, your children and grandchildren, with a debt to settle that we were too weak to pay ourselves.

I will unite our country, not with words, but with action.

I will work day in and day out to deliver for you.

This government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level.

Trust is earned. And I will earn yours.

I will always be grateful to Boris Johnson for his incredible achievements as Prime Minister, and I treasure his warmth and generosity of spirit.

And I know he would agree that the mandate my party earned in 2019 is not the sole property of any one individual, it is a mandate that belongs to and unites all of us.

And the heart of that mandate is our manifesto.

I will deliver on its promise.

A stronger NHS.

Better schools.

Safer streets.

Control of our borders.

Protecting our environment.

Supporting our armed forces.

Levelling up and building an economy that embraces the opportunities of Brexit, where businesses invest, innovate, and create jobs.

I understand how difficult this moment is.

After the billions of pounds, it cost us to combat Covid, after all the dislocation that was caused in the midst of a terrible war that must be seen successfully to its conclusions I fully appreciate how hard things are.

And I understand too that I have work to do to restore trust after all that has happened.

All I can say is that I am not daunted. I know the high office I have accepted and I hope to live up to its demands.

But when the opportunity to serve comes along, you cannot question the moment, only your willingness.

So I stand here before you ready to lead our country into the future.
To put your needs above politics.

To reach out and build a government that represents the very best traditions of my party.

Together we can achieve incredible things.

We will create a future worthy of the sacrifices so many have made and fill tomorrow, and every day thereafter with hope.

Thank you.

What a touching address, but just remind me what sacrifices he and his family, in fact, any member of parliament has made.

Rishi Sunak is always bleating on about us making sacrifices for forthcoming generations. Well, he can cram that right up his tush. What about the millions of people who are struggling right now?

We all have a right to a decent life, but you can be rest assured that this cold little man will take even more away from us.

He’s considerably inexperienced in politics, having only been in it for a brief time with the position of Chancellor being his only senior post. He’s also a monied man and has no experience of anything else.

Rishi Sunak’s father was a GP and his mother was a pharmacist. He went to prep school, then to Winchester College public school, I won’t even go into how much that cost back in the day, and then to Oxford and Stanford University.

He has no working-class friends by his own admission, and whatever his heritage, he’s another in a long line of Oxbridge-educated elite wannabe toff MPs with no knowledge of the life of an average person.

It Was Wrong Of Me To Make That Rude Comment

James Corden has finally acknowledged that he was ungracious and wrong to scold a server at one of New York City’s most celebrated eateries because they got his wife’s omelette order wrong, a move that saw him barred from the restaurant for a time.

James Corden, 44, returned to The Late Late Show and told viewers that he was disrespectful to the server after his wife Julia Carey, 46, found a bit of egg white in her egg yolk omelette at the restaurant Balthazar.

The British comic and talk show host said he was ungracious to the server when he barked at him and made a disparaging comment that he’d cook the egg yolk omelette himself.

James Corden’s rude behaviour saw Balthazar owner Keith McNally bar Corden from the restaurant, only for him to lift the embargo when the comedian called him to apologise.

Days later, James Corden appeared to U-turn on his apology after he snapped at a New York Times reporter who’d questioned him about the omelette incident saying he’d done nothing wrong, but James Corden last night confessed he’d made a mistake by making the rude and unnecessary comment to the server.

He said his remarks had been in the heat of the moment but vowed he would apologise in person to the staff at Balthazar.

Talking on his show last night, James Corden finally said that last week, there were stories about him being barred from a restaurant and that at the time he considered, you know, tweeting about it or Instagramming about it.

He added that he likes to assume a British perspective about things: ‘Keep calm and carry on’ and ‘Never complain, never complain’.

James Corden, looking at his parents Malcolm and Margaret who were in the audience, added: ‘As my dad pointed out to me on Saturday — he said, ‘Son, well, you did complain, so you might need to explain.’ Look, when you make a mistake, you’ve gotta take responsibility. So I thought I would, if it’s okay, share with you what happened.’

James Corden said his wife Julia Carey was given food she was allergic to even after explaining her food allergies.

He explained that in the heat of the moment, he made a scathing terse remark about cooking it himself, and that it was a comment he sincerely regrets, and that he understood the hardships of being a server, and that he worked shifts at restaurants for years, but it’s too late now because now his true colours have been revealed.

It wasn’t a statement, it wasn’t a straightforward apology letter to the restaurant, it had to be done on his show, which tells you all you need to know about his ego, and ungracious would be an understatement, and he’s actually only apologising to save his career.

But I’m assuming that if you’re paying toff money for a basic omelette, you’d expect them to be able to get it right in the first place. However, the server wasn’t the one who cooked the omelette, so why take your frustration out on them?

All James had to do is say that the omelette hadn’t been cooked correctly and could they please replace it with another one instead of ranting and raving?

Perhaps they should have stayed at home to cook their own food. There’s no need for all this disrespect, and common politeness is free, and James when an apology has to be dragged out of you, it isn’t an apology.
