    I said nothing about it’s credibility at all. And although you call it out as absurd, this is the party that today announced that they were instructing schools not to provide FSM in the half-term holidays.... less than 24 hours after saying they would sort out the previous shitshow over food...

    Yeah I am definitely taking the words of a Sun journalist as gospel... Saying that if it was bollocks then why did journalist have a transcript of Steve Bakers email, and why did he feel the need to pull back from his position 2/3 hours later....

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Watched Brave New World on Sky. I enjoyed it with some good performances (including the delightfully beautiful Jessica Brown Findlay) It didn’t get much positivity elsewhere and I saw they cancelled it after 1 season which was a shame.

    I’m glad you did at least. I’m still raging nearly 2 years later. Re-reading the books in the comfort that surely GRRM won’t fuck it like those 2 clowns did.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah I’ve seen it and do I get your point on that, but the Brexit position was also a final straw. People went and voted Tory and will go back to Labour afterwards. People like Dennis Skinner would never have lost their seat had Labour just respected the vote. So in that regard Starmer would be...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I may be in denial about Corbyn's electoral ‘toxicity’ - and yes he would have lost regardless. But there are plenty of people out there in denial about the fact that Starmer’s (and others) insistence to pursue a policy that tried to subvert democracy is why Labour currently have 200 MP’s and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m not saying you can just win on students alone. But when there will be 3.5m of them becoming eligible to vote in the next 4 years is it more important to chase a cohort that in reality you’d only ever be able to convert a fraction of, especially when you’ve already seen a bigger than ever...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Can’t have been that bad - still got 10m votes which was more than Brown and then Miliband. Setting clear distance is fine if that’s what you need to - but by trying to what? If we need to learn from the mistakes of the last 5 years, then don’t use the preceding 5 years as a template. Whatever...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t actually think it’s that big a job to bring some unity back to the party to be honest... he just needs to show some contrition and put his hands up. He fucked up on the PV thing at GE19. So come out and own it - apologise and say so. It would even begin to explain the rationale for his...

    I’m glad you confirmed that Toby Young, Laurence Fox, Alison Pearson, Sarah Vine and Julia Hartley-Brewer are not sane people.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Johnson and May both were always boosted by the baying crowds in the background. Take them away and you expose their limitations. The Tories have been weak and behind all the other parties at PMQ’s since Cameron left - despite us being told different.

    That’s the problem though isn’t it. They haven’t gained these services because they are the best for the kids, it’s because they are the best for lining each other’s pockets, so challenge is about PR image - not about shortchanging hungry families.

    A lot of these service level agreements never give the individual school the opportunity to pull out. All negotiated at executive level and the money never makes it to the school, as it’s extracted already for ‘core’ services. It’s fucking disgraceful - and anyone defending what we’ve seen is a...
