    Eurovision Song Contest

    Why would they have to have sat through three hours of the show to vote? All you need is the phone number and that became available on line and follow the advice of the Telegraph which had an article telling you to vote for Israel to stick it to the woke. It was funny though that that a bloke...

    Eurovision Song Contest

    Apparently the top two reasons in the UK to vote for Isreal by non Jewish people was to stick it to the woke or stick it to Sadiq Khan. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

    Depends what you mean by in power. Are they the ones that have the power to change laws and implement policy then yes. The real question is who’s driving the agenda and shaping the narrative. We know Truss’ budget that crashed the economy for instance was the idea of several Tufton St think...

    Death List 2024

    Good read. He didn’t really rate them either, once described them as REM with a fuzz box. They didn’t half make a good album though and Heart Shaped Box of the album is probably the finest single they ever released. Never tire of it and in my humble opinion it’s aged incredibly well.

    I see Bill Cash had an interview to join Labour this afternoon ;)

    In which case they’ve re announced/re committed to it today to reassure unions who were worried that Labour were planning to water down plans to restore workers rights lost under the Tories. Either way it should have been a talking point on the media rounds, it wasn’t because of the Elphicke...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    For anyone who is yet to twig why Elphicke is own goal Labour should have been talking about how they’re 30 points ahead in the latest poll today. Tories should be explaining why they’re 30 points behind. Labour should be talking about their policy announcement today on the commitment to ban...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I would assume so but on those numbers I doubt it would make much difference. The one thing it doesn’t seem to factor in is independents running on the Gaza issue. Pretty clear that issue has the potential to damage Labour votes disproportionately to other parties. I can’t see it being a big...

    In the words of Mark and Lard, whoooo! SNP in opposition is a distinct possibility based on that (yes I know that the polls will narrow and the Tories will end up with more than 13 MP’s at the next GE). Although I suspect the SNP to take a hit at the next GE also. Has there ever been a...

    She’s going to campaign for Labour on doorsteps in Dover though. What reaction do you think she’ll get on the doorstep of anyone connected to anyone locally who lost their job with P&O. How is she going to be a campaigning asset for Labour in Dover? She’s not going to be backing policies of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A Tory MP who isn’t as popular as some think in her own constituency following her defence of Tory policy when P&O workers were sacked at a moments notice so they could hire foreign workers on less than minimum wage. Truth is the only reason she got such a majority in the last GE was because the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    On the morning Labour announce a ban of fire and rehire the day after they accept a Tory into the ranks who is on the record telling her constituents and ex P&O employees that Tory policy is definitely not to blame for them losing their jobs and was roundly heckled and criticised in Dover for...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Okay, I’ll get the crayons out too. Sunak’s small boat/Rwanda policy isn’t cutting through except with the biggest frothers who were most likely going to vote for anyone but Labour anyway. The message you’re talking about is being lost anyway in the noise about Labour welcoming a far right...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    In the meantime interest of balance a good news Labour story broke this morning but is probably being drowned out by the Elphicke story. Labour has promised Unions that it will outlaw fire and hire. Along with the commitment to repeal the Tories minimum service level bill (yay for Brexit) some...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But her defection isn’t enough to make a meaningful difference in a vote if all tories vote with the whip. Having slept on it it makes less sense than it did yesterday. If she’d gone and worked Tice’s company I’d have understood her quitting the Tories, she’s right up their street. No sign she’s...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Think it’s about 320 as Sinn Fein don’t take their seats. So about another 24 defections/resignations from the Tories needed before Sunak needs a deal with the DUP to get anything through although technically he could limp on until a GE unless everyone else clubs together, which ain’t going to...

    Apparently she backed Truss for PM also. The more I read about her the less it makes sense unless she’s had a road to Damascus style conversion.

    Natalie Elphicke? You’ve got to be kidding. Who next Gullis! Not sure WTF Starmer is thinking on this one. He should have stayed well clear. Hope she loses her seat at the GE.
