Little more than 30 hours until the polling stations open
And for the first time ever, I shall be voting tactically this election. We’re in a new constituency because of boundary changes, but our previous MP is running in our constituency again. In years he’s done nothing for (most of) … Continue reading
More silly election quotes
Angela Leadsom was quoted today by the BBC, talking about the chap who won the election for the Tees Valley mayor. This is all credit to a mayor who has done an absolutely brilliant job in a key part of … Continue reading
Is Sunak stepping down?
He’s quoted by the BBC as saying I am focused completely on the job at hand – that’s delivery for people across the country So will he be working for Just Eat, or Deliveroo?

Nibbles, anyone?
(Can)nibbles, perhaps? This photo was widely circulated a few weeks back when Richy Sunak and Even-Richer wife did some sort of ill-considered interview about how he loves loading the dishwasher. He could sit back and watch it for hours, I’m … Continue reading
The ghost of Cruella
As if it didn’t strain credibility sufficiently that “Cruella” Braverman insisted that sleeping rough was a lifestyle choice, I was quite surprised to discover that despite her hasty departure from government, measures against people who sleep rough are still included … Continue reading
Spot the muppet
Anyone seen them both in the same room?
