Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy confirmed on Sky News that all disposable vapes will be banned from 1st June 2025. Thank Sunak for that idea…
Nandy said that the ban was being pursued to prevent the take-up of vaping in children. It’s already illegal for kids to buy vapes, the same goes for cigarettes…
She then went on about how they weren’t “pleasant“:
“Single use vapes in particular are causing a lot of problems for the environment. You know I walk through my local park and the council is very good job of dealing with it but you see them discarded all over the place and, um, it’s not pleasant at all for people to have to deal with. So for those reasons we’ve taken the decision to ban single use vapes from next year.”
Guido didn’t realise pleasantness was the metric by which the government decides if something should be outlawed or not. Even the British public isn’t behind Starmer on some of his extreme nannying policies…
Kay Burley and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy have been arguing on Sky News this morning over the ridiculousness of the government lobbying the police to give Taylor Swift a presidential-style motorcade to a gig. Tickets for which were being handed out by her record label to the PM and his ministers…
Nandy eventually caved under pressure and launched on an offensive:
“You know, we’re now in a situation where I mean you know most of Sky News was at these events in these same boxes as well to be completely fair.”
Burley hit back: “Who was there? I paid for my tickets. Don’t do that, no.” Nandy claimed Keir Starmer had paid for his too. A few weeks late, mind…
Nandy couldn’t name any other Sky personnel who went along for free when asked and ended with: “People can judge for themselves.“ A cruel summer for cronies…
The weekend saw fun-loving Lisa Nandy take on Blackpool’s “Pleasure Beach Resort” where the self-confessed theme park fan had the opportunity to take on “The Big One”. For clarity, that’s a rollercoaster…
The Lancashire Post wrote up Nandy’s pleasurable trip, posting a photo of her thoroughly enjoying (or hating) the ride on the Big One. Though Guido hears the culture secretary sadly did not see the funny side, swiftly instructing the paper and resort to delete the photo. Fear not, Guido got a hold of it:
No one ever accused her of being dull…
The highlight of live-band karaoke from Labour Conference’s Mirror party last night was Lisa Nandy and Jon Ashworth reunited to give Rick Astley’s classic “Never Gonna Give You Up” their best shot. Ashworth was in an elevated state judging by the colour of his face…
