I find myself reminded tonight of how blindly the Conservatives followed Blair’s dressed up dossier on WMD in Iraq that took us into an illegal war. They stood on the wrong side of history. I remember Robin Cooks speech, I remember Charles Kennedy leading a march, MP’s standing up on what in...

Bassem Youssef tore Morgan a new one in his interview. Worth looking it up if you haven’t seen it already.

According to Andrea Jenkyns half a dozen MP’s are putting letters of no confidence in today. Assuming non of the reported earlier in year 25 letters haven’t been withdrawn they’re scrapping just over 30 letters, well short.

You’re employing critical thinking and facts. You’re not their target audience.

We should probably point out that the government has already spanked £140M on this folly. Maybe it would have been a good idea to sort the legality out first? Already rumours that the government is now trying to look for another country to partner up with so it looks like they plan to do the...

Maybe this will make the government look for a genuine solution rather than throwing red meat around.

Quite possible but I’m thinking that some centre right Tory voters might be wooed back. To his credit I think Sunak understands that the culture war bollocks isn’t working, unless you want a load of gammons fighting police to disrupt proceedings at the cenotaph. Bringing in Cameron is a clear...

What’s the betting that the Tories get a bump in the polls for getting rid of Braverman?

I don’t know. I think most Tory MP’s will be looking at the headlines this morning and seeing what is essentially a positive headline that they can claim a victory over vs headlines that look like the ramblings of a deranged person who at the end of that day isn’t that popular amongst the...

Caught it last night on line. He went full Dorries.

Like implementing taking back control of our borders adding 3% to the cost of food. Wouldn’t at all be surprised if there’s a recession next year although I can’t see the interest rates falling as dramatically as they rose and don’t expect to see them get back down to where they were, which...

Some good news at last. Inflation has fell to 4.6%. Fair play to Sunak, he’s halved inflation by the end of the year so has hit one of his targets. Bad news for Braverman and the rest of her cronies. Can’t see letters of no confidence going in off the back of that news. It’s the nearest thing to...

Wasn’t he once an advisor to Boris Johnson?

Calling for an armistice on armistice day. Next they plan to counter protest the giving of Christmas presents on Christmas Day. Although they plan to box on Boxing Day, so long as there’s some police to attack of course.

I saw Truss has been bigging herself up today also. She recon’s she’s got together with some “economists” and has formulated a plan to turn the countries economy around. Presumably the same economists who came up with the plan for her mini budget. Couldn’t make it up. The vultures are circling...

Her red lines were clearly an agreement with the Brexit hardliners for Ledsom to drop out leaving her as PM. If she had any sense she would have been the one dropping out leaving a leaver to deal with the mess that brexit was always going to be. She was never going to be allowed to deliver...

Be world king by any means?

Sounds like Sunak is safe for a while. This meeting of the far right Tories looks to be an anticlimax, reported about only 8 MP’s have turned up although they’re claiming more are joining on zoom. About the most interesting thing about it was that 50p Lee turned up to it. Maybe another...

Wasn’t there apparently 25 letters of no confidence in already? What’s the current threshold before he faces a vote of no confidence?

Esther Mcvey. Minister for common sense. Is it April 1st already.
