Using your logic do you think that Farage would like to rejoin? Angela Rayner has been surprisingly restrained so far. I assume that she has been coached to hold it in and just let the Tories hang themselves. No point in getting involved too much when they are doing such a good job of losing the election themselves.

They will be right to blame anything shit on Brexit as it has caused so much economic damage to this country. The Greens have been open about the EU and like you, I think that, once the dust settles on this election, there will be better and more honest discussion on the effect of leaving the EU (and more BS from the self elected leader of the opposition).

Stop sitting on the fence Rallyboy. Tell us what you really think. 😉

https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/trackers/conservative-party-alignment Strange chap, laughing at a government poll. Poor old hypo, it sounds like delirium is setting in. We can safely assume now that he and Duckhunter will be voting Reform, the party where at least 41 candidates are linked to the modern day equivalent of Oswald Mosley and its leader used to sing songs about gassing Jews.

Strange how someone who claims to call out antisemitism actively supports and votes for the antisemitic Nigel Farage. The same Nigel Farage who is talking about leading a “centre right” party. 😂

Further problems. https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/13/dutch-lorry-drivers-uk-post-brexit-delays-dutch-hauliers The Chuckle Brothers think it is funny though. Perhaps I should rename them as the Odd Couple?

Hence “climate change”

Good solid speech from Starmer , sounding very Prime Ministerial. A period of stability sounds is exactly what we need. No more drama and chaos.

It will make a change to have a decent front bench with normal people who genuinely seem keen to get on with the job of turning things around and putting the needs of the country first. Goodbye massive egos, self interest and total incompetence. Starmer might not set the stage alight but he has put a strong team together and is solid and focussed. He has the makings of a good, if workmanlike PM which is no bad thing after the succession of hopeless/flakey predecessors. Agree with the comments about Wes Streeting. He is on LBC a lot and always comes across well as he does on QT.

I think they would go to Goztepe.

Calm down. I didn’t say anything about being surprised. I am not obsessed with it. I mentioned it because someone said that Reform were not linked with far right politics. I have never heard of this Raikes bloke until the reports today that he was linked with 41 Reform candidates. Given the rise of far right politics through Europe surely it is worth making it clear to people where their vote might be going? Not everyone has their finger on the pulse as you do. No one is saying that they do not have a right to stand, but they are not some cuddly little party and a safe place for the disaffected moderate Tory voters.They need to be exposed for what many of the candidates are - supporters of a far right agenda. You call them a fringe nuisance but they are already showing well n the polls for a new party and with someone like Farage in the headlines everyday there is no reason why their influence cannot grow. Look at the damage Farage and his followers did over Brexit, and that was outside of Parliament. I see the Chuckle Brothers are back again. Fascists are always good for a laugh aren’t they?

Can we talk about Reform’s links with the far right yet? https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/reform-uk-candidates-are-facebook-friends-with-fascist-leader-8zzhzxjkt Who is Gary Raikes? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Raikes

And lend it back to him for now.

They have clearly thrown in the towel and it’s all about damage limitation now. Still odd that the advisers think that this is the right way to go. A guy I spoke to this morning thinks that Rishi doesn’t listen to his advisers as he thinks that he knows best. Perhaps that is true, in which case, he doesn’t.

I don’t blame Starmer for using his background as a selling point. He has worked his way up and hasn’t lost touch with ordinary people. I think he has probably used it enough now though. You have to wonder what goes on in Rishi’s head though. Didn’t he ask a homeless man if he worked in finance? If you came from a different planet Rishi, best not try and parented otherwise.

Hopefully something positive will come of this. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/6/12/israels-war-on-gaza-live-mediators-reviewing-hamas-ceasefire-response

Fond memories of her from the film Grand Prix back in the 60’s. RIP Francoise.

The proles who moan about the cost of living and high prices are told to give up Netflix, smart phones and nail bars. Maybe these people should be told to give up on private schools if they are struggling to find the money?

Running out onto the pitch with Tools on the front of your shirt is never a good look.

It is baffling that people will still vote for Sunak and his dreadful party in their millions. I can understand how the dyed in the wool Conservatives might find it hard to vote for another Party, but wouldn’t it be brilliant if they stayed at home or spoiled their ballot papers, wiping the Tories out and sending a massive message to them and future governments that this level of failure and incompetence is not acceptable.

The Green’s are being honest about their tax plans. They can afford to be as they are not going to be challenging for no 10 but it is refreshing to see a party willing to be so up front about their plans.

The agent could always call the club, say he was interested in player X and ask to speak to someone who could help? Maybe the CoT?

It just goes to show how removed this guy is from normal life if this is what he considers to be a level of deprivation. He just keeps digging that hole. Perhaps he needs to watch Monty Python’s four Yorkshiremen’s sketch?

This policy is a no brainer. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/06/11/general-election-latest-news-rishi-sunak-keir-starmer/
