The right honourable gentleman, now forever branded as hopeless hancock by his own leader. Also in this programme: britain s biggest police force is accused of institutional corruption. This is one of the most devastating episodes in the history of the metropolitan police. Changes at the top in northern ireland. Mr speaker, let us l be good neighbours.

All that to come and more. But first, monday, june 21st was supposed to be freedom day, the day the people of england could throw away their face masks and hug one another.

and it is time for all of us, especially the democrats, to realize that they are about to get bitten by the minority party again, and they need to figure out what to do about it. i want you to remember 2010, then senate minority leader mitch mcconnell made it clear what his mission was as it pertained to president obama. our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny president obama a second term. and he meant it. people didn t believe it. they thought it was just talk. today, he said it again. what is his mission with respect to president biden? 100% of our focus is on stopping this new administration. this is why i say, don t pet the snake. you know who knows all of this and yet seems like he is willing to pet the python again? the man who was obama s vice president for all of that, president biden. listen. he said that the last administration, barack, he was going to stop everything. and i was able to get a lot done with him. was he? i mea
