What will winter bring?

I hope Covid is kept under control. I hope there are no new tricky variants. I hope there are no new lockdowns. I hope that being sensible will suffice alongside a "booster" jab. I worry that other factors will be an issue. I suspect things like flu will be prominent this year. I think the last 18 months has sped up the failings in GP primary care services which is leading to hospital A&E's becoming the first point of care for many. Please can 2022 be a fun year with less of the Covid seriousness and drama.

Covid Times

What a year 2020 was. 2021 better get better and 2022 will be amazing.

Tim Montgomerie leaves the Tory fold

A commentator made the following contribution to the debate stemming from the well known senior Conservative, Tim Montgomerie, leaving the party:

"If we all did a Tim (leave the Tory party), where would we go? I want to fight in politics and none of the other parties appeal at all, so I want to stay inside and fight here, because this is my battleground - but I would dearly love a change of General and senior officers. Many of those we have at the moment seem to have bought their commissions without any notion of how to lead their troops now they have the pretty uniforms."

My feeling is that the above reflects the feelings bags of the great majority leader of Conservative members.
