I think a clean slate on the board would be the best idea. But as usual the government won't want to upset anyone - except those inclined to support it.

Yes, with margins so low and paying such high wages, leading to miniscule profits, I'm sure we all sympathise with them.

I bet Devo are jealous!

Agree 100%. Also doubt if it will.

OK...except his ineptitude and vacillating wankery the last time he stood cannot be forgotten - and I voted for him! I suspect he might be be Starmer MkII

I thought it would wait until after the Trump visit, but was inevitable.

Surely Mandy will "resign" after the Trump visit: "Don't wish to take focus away from great job being done by government" etc.

The lack of factual pushback is becoming a feature of British media interviews.

Discussing this kind of thing in public is counterproductive. Do it quietly. That's why we have diplomats. And are we in a position to "warn" a country like India?

Sarah Vine is well known for her silence, of course.

Why vote for the tribute band when you have the real thing? Still, I'm sure we are wrong and McSweeney and Glasman have it all under control!

I'm astonished that a Labour MP would immediately bring up hotels for asylum seekers - unprompted - in a discussion about immigration.

These days........!

The only thing that rings true in that is the nearly £8 a pint. But there are plenty of places that don't charge anywhere near that much. He should choose his pubs and his drinks more carefully. The rest is bollocks.

I'm sure that this is a "computer says no" decision which will be overturned.

Yep. Why vote for the tribute band when the originals are on a successful tour?

I would have hoped that he'd decided that the party should govern as Labour, not as Tory Lite.

He's actually quite shit at politics too, whatever his reputation is amongst journos. Labour's Dominic Cummings.

But Labour is quite 5h1t at comms. It's bizarre given how great they were at one time.

They've got themselves into a right mess. Act in haste, repent at leisure.

Damn those overseas students who kept the sector going. Why we don't celebrate the number of post grads wishing to come to the UK, boast about it and encourage more to do so I will never understand. The crude numbers game is an insult to everyone's intelligence.

Surely McSweeney is now a proven failure.

Behave!

Billy Connolly to a heckler: They spoiled a perfectly good arse when they put teeth in your mouth.

Be fair. He has now won two elections in short order. It’s just that he won this one was for the Liberals.

Fan Joy at Poilievre Defeat.

I've never in my long life heard anyone use Fatherfu**er.

Absolutely. I have a fiver on "scheduling conflicts" or something similar causing this to be "postponed" until next year. Or the year after. Or.......!

Never in doubt.

I'm surprised that nobody ever raises the Jones Act as a non-tariff barrier.
