If any Mayor of London told us who should chair a committee that scrutinises them, Assembly Members from all parties would tell them where to get off: we know what our job is.

DfT has bought site that will be used for customs clearance and holding pen for lorries, Rachel Maclean confirms
The Department for Transport has signed off on the purchase of a vast site in Kent for a Brexit border facility and confirmed that it will be partly used as a giant lorry park just days after the cabinet ministerMichael Gove insisted that was not the “intention”.
The facility needs to be in place to accommodate checks for up to 11,000 lorries going to and from Dover and Eurotunnel in Folkestone every day. (Guardian)
The Mayor eh?In 2012, Tony was appointed to chair the Mayor’s Education Inquiry into London schools. Its final, landmark, report, published in 2013, led to the establishment of the £24m London Schools Excellence Fund, which sees high performing schools working with partners to help raise standards of teaching in other schools.
So that includes Bozo's 'nominee' !AnatolyKasparov wrote:I mean, what response to last night's shenanigans did Number 10 expect exactly?RogerOThornhill wrote:Patrick Wintour

'Work coaches'.Some of the jobcentres that were shuttered in 2018 may be reopened and new buildings will have to be found as the number of work coaches soars to deal with coronavirus

I've been sent a Ukip press release which argues that the way to prevent mass unemployment due to coronavirus is to train up large numbers of people as customs agents to deal with the border changes from Brexit.

Care homes and members of public told to immediately stop using firm’s kits
The UK government has instructed care homes and members of the public to immediately stop using coronavirus testing kits produced by a healthcare firm after safety problems were discovered.
Randox was awarded a £133m contract in March to produce the testing kits for England, Wales and Northern Ireland without any other firms being given the opportunity to bid for the work.
The UK government has instructed care homes and members of the public to immediately stop using coronavirus testing kits produced by a healthcare firm after safety problems were discovered.
Randox employs the Conservative politician Owen Paterson as a £100,000-a-year consultant. The former cabinet minister and leading Brexit supporter has been a consultant since 2015.

I look forward to the site of lots of universities falling foul of the government's Prevent strategy by inviting far right and religious fundamentalists onto campus to recruit for direct action campaigns.Universities in England needing bailouts to survive the impact of Covid-19 will have to “demonstrate their commitment” to free speech as well as closing courses with low graduate pay, Gavin Williamson has announced.
Graham Galbraith, the vice-chancellor of the University of Portsmouth, said the sector would be pleased with any promise of government support but that it needed to define how to assess the value of undergraduate courses.
“It will be vital for government to benchmark ‘strong learner outcomes’ data to work out the distance travelled by a university’s students. How much a student improves at university is a proper value-for-money measure. Without this, government risks throwing taxpayers’ money at coasting universities who recruit high-attaining students who would have succeeded anyway,” Galbraith said.
