Thanks, that's good news. It's been rather lost in all the lockdown
announcements.


The BBC report:

Transport for London (TfL) has secured a £1.8bn government bailout, to keep
Tube and bus services running until March 2021.

The funding will ensure TfL can address its financial shortfall due to the
loss of passengers as a result of Covid-19.


Now Khan can hope to sit it out until Boris resigns in the New Year.


Yes, good point, though my guess is that Boris will aim to hang on for
slightly longer than that.

That depends on the ERG…

But he must be enviously looking at the huge
amounts Theresa May is earning for her speeches. Imagine — people actually
paying to listen to Theresa May!

No accounting for taste!

And, unlike Boris, she doesn't even need
the money: no kids, no divorces, well-paid spouse, no expensive hobbies or
holidays.


Have you seen her mortgage?

I'd suspect it's zero. Even if their properties hadn't already been paid off long ago, she's earned more than enough
since stepping down to pay off any remaining mortgage.
