He’s been watching Javier Milei and thinking that’s a smart guy. He culled Argentina’s civil service and now the country is marching to get him out. They only voted him into power in December.

I see the Tory Mayoral candidate for Greater Manchester has just defected to Reform. They only selected him in December.

2 takes from that. Firstly is how little cut through the Lib Dem’s are having. You can’t help but feel that if they’d had a Paddy Ashdown or Charles Kennedy as leader they’d be giving the Tories a run for their money right now. Possibly doesn’t help I guess that the SNP are the third biggest...

It’s classic dictator talk. He’s also spent his last couple of rallies slagging off Ron DeSantis, he seems more worried about him than Biden or anyone involved in his legal battles. Strangely it coincides with DeSantis announcing that he’s given the go ahead for the rest of the Epstein papers to...

Don’t think we have to win it to qualify for European football, just be in the final against a team who already has other European commitments. Millwall played in the UAFA cup after losing to Man U in the 2004 FA cup final because Man U had already qualified for the champions league. Unless...

Just when you think they couldn’t sink any lower Hunt has just basically said in a parliamentary select committee that Hester is the victim in all of this because of the scrutiny he’s come under.

Andy Street has broke ranks and said that they should return the money. Fair play to him.

I’ve made the case, his words are very clear, she’s a vulnerable and accessible person, it only takes one nutter and recent history suggests that there’s no shortage of that one nutter. If you can’t see that it’s your issue. Stating out how ridiculous your stance is based on the evidence of our...

Whatever you think of Abbott she made a few good points yesterday about how she’s a single woman who lives alone and doesn’t drive so uses public transport so unless she becomes a recluse she’s very accessible. Based on that alone why wouldn’t she get the police involved? Your head is in the...

I posted a link a few pages ago but the Guardian has done an article about him making unsavoury comments about Indians too. There’s a clear pattern of behaviour forming here and the Tories are quite deliberately digging themselves into a hole over it. Which seems really stupid given that the...

Why does it matter? She, that’s SHE was targeted by a right wing nut case who was motivated by what other people were saying. She is a woman who represented the left of British politics targeted by a right winger. Why wouldn’t I mention her in relation to what has been said about Diane Abbot, a...

Problem is that the right is full of nutters who aren’t shy of resorting to violence. Ask Jo Coxes family. It only needs one to take it as a call to arms. So at the end of the day I guess it depends on your definition of “serious”.

Tories doing the rounds this morning again covering themselves in glory. Not only do they not intend to give the money back they’d except more from him. Looks like Abbot has reported him to the police specifically on the someone should kill her part.

So he’s not just black racist, he’s Asian racist too https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/12/tory-donor-frank-hester-no-room-for-the-indians?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Not sure that’s 100% correct. IIRC from something I read a long time ago the government doesn’t but the BOE does, especially in USD and EUR. We might not be as exposed as Argentina given the Peso is worthless (especially true since it’s lurch into right wing populism) but we are exposed at least...

They recon he’ll be standing in the next GE, presumably as a Tory with one eye being leader of the opposition after the GE.

He can’t be a racist he does business in Jamaica.

Another one of those Extremists Sunak was warning about at his lectern in front of No.10 the other week I wonder how he’s going to manage this one.

Really? Having met you I’m shocked. Have you got one of those Benjamin Button type illnesses? I had to do a double take because I thought you were me old Irish Granda returned from the grave.

The first thing Reform says on their manifesto… sorry “contract” is make the most of Brexit. They’re definitely your party. I’ve already told you who I’ll be voting for and it ain’t Reform as you well know. Why you insist on behaving like a child by pretending otherwise I don’t know. You know...
