Think back to her dismissal of 'Partygate' as being "overblown" and decrying the criminalisation of people for lockdown breaches.

Apparently, being in your 20's, not a law-maker and admitting the crime gives you a free pass. I reckon there's thousands of young people who meet those criteria languishing in our prisons while she speaks!

Don't these usually have horses on them? Four horses.

No. It's the smallest pub in Manchester. I've been in bigger taxis.

She must have been in the Circus Tavern.

France? Syria? Ukraine? Which would be the most practicable? As ever they are never pressed on the detail; how they would implement their evil intent.

I wonder if this neighbour is similarly concerned about racist white people pissing in the street and adjacent to memorials when they go out to 'express their free speech'? I think I know which is truly offensive.

Point 4. I was responding to Sweet Bird of Truth! Please target your accusations more accurately.

Yes: there was no substantive issue and the media moved on. However the timing of the story was no coincidence and I have no doubt was an attempt to distract from any positives that might have come out of the conference. Part of the constant drip of negative coverage of Starmer/Labour.

But did he?

It didn't gain any substantive traction (rehash of an old story) and the media hacks obviously realised they were making asses of themselves.

Remember, "It's not my GDP, its their GDP"! It's too abstract for most folk.

I can see Farage doing the same. He won't subject himself to any potentially hostile interviews in the run-up to election. Just do speeches where he can spout his populist bullshit without challenge. All given gushing coverage by the usual fanclub.

Perhaps also people liquidating their pensions early and placing what they don't need immediately into savings.

Wasn't she elected to represent all her constituents in Coventry South? Not much sign of that going on at the moment.

Agree. Why would you want to ruin the Green's chances of broadening their appeal.

How many of these so-called 'athletes' serve or have served in the Russian military?

That's what the Turks do.

YoPar and UrTy it is then! Who's claiming which?

Small fry. Anything happening with Mone?

Potentially, but listening to Nick Robinson's interview with James Murray this morning, the impression I was left with is that we are all going to be sitting in the cold/dark whilst the new Datacentres glow white hot. Why was Labour's weakest communicator put up this morning? Another comm's fail.

It's hard to tell where the hands begin and the chicken ends or vice versa.

However, small 'c' conservative is going to be hugely beneficial compared to the shitshow in the USA as it becomes a failed state. Unfortunately they are too far down the slippery slope to prevent it now. Farage and the Right are tied very closely to Trump/Vance and will suffer for it.

I agree he's been too conventional (do the unpopular stuff early?) and timid since his positive response to the post-Southport riots. They know they have a massive issue with the media, but have done nothing about it.

Sacking Gareth Thomas without naming a successor reeks of incompetence. Minister dealing with the Post Office/Horizon restitution and seemingly well regarded.

And inflated ego's.

Has anyone launched a petition to rename it Whitehills? Surely it's only a matter of time.

A Reform government might actually accelerate progress towards net zero. By quickly and so thoroughly sinking the economy we could all be hunter-gathering in the ruins within a couple of years. All unintended and somebody elses fault of course.

If they keep going in this direction we're going to end up being marooned or even prisoners on this island.

If they're savvy about how they present it, I think it would be very popular. If needs be, they could even persuade Trump that they are going for the 'problematic' MSM like he does!
