Labour should launch a Yewtree type investigation into Cabinet Ministers tipping off contacts of upcoming government policy. Suspect any number of Tories would be obvious targetsโ€ฆ

Starmer went to Leeds Uni and rose through the legal profession to be DPP.

Polanski claimed he could use hypnosis to enlarge womenโ€™s breasts, was a Lib Dem but was rejected as a parliamentary candidate so like Liz Truss moved party.

Hardly the same.

Both Labour and Conservative governments post Thatcher have sought the growing grey vote and once youโ€™ve given freebies thereโ€™s hell to pay if you try to stop them. The young have so little hope theyโ€™re fertile territory for a populist chancer who offers them everything they want except reality.

Somewhat of a random fact: the last time Denmark sold an island to the US was in 1917. One of those islands was Little Saint James, more commonly known today as โ€œEpstein Island.โ€

Just as with Corbyn protesting/rabble rousing is Farageโ€™s forte. Hard work and long hours for what heโ€™d consider a pittance are notโ€ฆ

He wonโ€™t say so of course but increasingly I believe Farage is targeting being leader of the opposition after the next election. Being PM is to him low paid and hard workโ€ฆ

Having done business with a few farmers over the years I can confirm none of them were easy to deal with.

Rayner is damaged goods. It seems sheโ€™s a bit too keen on the trappings of power. The Labour membership is perfectly capable of electing a useless leader that will be worse than Starmer.

Iโ€™ve got a few quid on John Healey as a unity candidate.

If Russia is still fighting Ukraine in mid January it will have been doing so longer than the Soviet Union fought Nazi Germany.

For months now weโ€™ve had speculation about what will be in the upcoming Budget and now we have speculation that the previous speculation to date was incorrect but itโ€™s reported as though the government has changed its mind which is of course yet more speculation.

If they did theyโ€™d lose more votes than theyโ€™d win.

Weโ€™re polarising, which is tough for those in the centre.

Johnson or Corbyn was a dreadful choice but Farage or Polanski will be every bit as bad.

If people in southern and south western England want to be represented by an economically illiterate self confessed charlatan who wants to leave NATO, let them get on with it. Media pandering to a proven con man wonโ€™t work and will only do damage!

A couple of times previously Lucy Powell embarrassed herself by getting into a loud slanging match with him. Lisa Nandy was clearly ready for his angry pub bore routine and gave a masterclass.

Doesnโ€™t help that the UK population has increased by 20% in the 33 years since the last new reservoir was opened so 12 million more people using the same amount of resource.

Weโ€™ve been a de facto gerontocracy for decades with the country run for the benefit of the grey vote.

People keep telling me that Labour isnโ€™t losing votes to Reform yet @yougov.co.uk poll today shows Reform potentially winning 231 Labour seats if there was an election now.

If you keep blocking sensible reform under your own Labour government you will end up with extreme change under Reform.

Lucy Powell winning would be another gift to Reform. Sacked for not being up to being in government and Reform will make hay with mock ups of her blowing a dog whistle.
