Farage says that the British establishment needs to be grown up in its attitudes, carbon free energy an example. Fair enough! He also needs to be grown up and take the blame for the racists, misogynists and homophobics supporting his party. Instead, what you get, every time, is, "It's a government/media/Womens Institute stitch up. They set it up." That sounds to me like the schoolboy excuse of, "It wasn't me/us. Two big boys did it and ran away."

Pond scum has to end up somewhere I suppose. Let’s hope the vast majority of voters see Farage and reform as a bunch a loony rightists and vote elsewhere … fingers crossed

He was a great keeper on his day, provided the defence were briefed not to concede a penalty. Besides Chasetown is his spiritual home.

Reform up 1% to 17%. I do hope the polling was done before Farage's shock troops were exposed as a bunch of racist loons.

I don't think Ms Reeves will survive her early forays into the real world. Do you?

I don't think Ms Reeves will survive her early forays into the real world. Do you? No. Courtesy of the FT…. Labour supporters may crow about the fact that their team has pulled off the greatest con job in political history by lying their way into power, but I fear that the precedent they have set will have an extremely corrosive and damaging impact on our politics for a long time to come. Why should any politician ever again be honest about what s/he intends to do in office if they can instead just follow the Starmer/Reeves model and simply lie through their teeth throughout the election campaign, rely on the incumbents to be more unpopular and sneak into office with the support of one in five of the electorate? So much for restoring honesty and integrity to politics.

You have wonder about the intelligence of the spads who will have set this agenda. Do they want 5 years of strife, because majority or no, that’s what they’ll get.
Intersting to see what Angela Rayner’s plans for housing are. Basically what Gove wanted to do, but got scared off by the whinging loon Nimbys, who seem to think all these new houses will be for “immigrants”. Why are people that stupid allowed to vote?

Yes, that Monday to Friday 9 till 5 institution.

Seeing as this is evolving into general politics*, monitoring the US presidential odds is interesting.
Trump was roughly 1/3 when Biden threw in the towel, then when Harris was announced that went out to 8/15. Momentum is shifting quite significantly now, he 8/11, she 11/10.
*although Trump is very closely aligned to Reform in many ways, is even their leaders hero.

In terms of a 5 year parliament, the current government if this was a 5 day course would still be hearing about the fire exits etc. They wouldn't have even had time to crack into the Fox's fruity sweets that you only ever see there.
