Happy June record day.
Nothing to write home about. After all, we rarely get record breaking warmth these days. Just warmest spring on record this year (yet again), the hottest May day on record, and a measly June record. Hell, we've not even broken the all time record set in July 2022. And it'll be cooler by Sunday.
And it's fine anyway because happy old ladies and gentlemen are promenading out in the lovely warmth.

And short tempered, petulant and entitled.Not the complete story, though.Those of a Kemi Badenoch sceptic nature will find the polling and the trend difficult to deal with.Nigel Farage is a massive racist.
On the contrary, I think "Good, determined, useless, strong, unknown, competent Conservative" fits reasonably well.
I rather like the word clouds.
Nigel Farage is a greedy, massive racist.

Jones also confirms Burnham will borrow more. However mostly for infrastructure which is an excellent idea.

"The trains are at the stations or on an open track, passengers are stuck: The traffic of the Deutsche Bahn is suspended nationwide due to a radio disturbance. This was confirmed by a spokesman for Deutsche Bahn in the evening. For the time being, all trains will be stopped at stations or at a suitable location. Long-distance and regional trains as well as the S-Bahn are affected."

It all has painfully strong May-to-Johnson vibes. Except Johnson had a bit of recent Cabinet experience to know what some of the urgent questions were, and a leadership election to give some time buffer.I'm really hanging onto the hope that things can only get better but every day the doubts grow. Labour have taken a hell of a gamble here."Team Burnham's fury at Starmer for refusing to stay on until September. 'Andy's not going to be close to being ready to be Prime Minister'"One of my biggest worries with Andy Burnham is that everyone else should arrange their affairs to be personally convenient for him.

Burnham is as green as my lawn after Monday night's downpour. But, as in 2020, there is nobody else. And, in an echo of 2019, Burnham won't have Burnham on the outside, urinating in.

As Farage has been mentioned, I do want to repeat for any philanthropic crypto billionaires looking for someone virtuous to whom they can gift £5m for no particular reason and expecting no favours in return: I remain available.

Good morningHe knows what to expect. He is an experienced politician, with a decade as an MP including 3 cabinet roles before his time as Mayor of Englands second most important metropolis.
It looks like Burnham is not ready for what is about to happen to him in the next 3 weeks as his whole life comes under 24/7 scrutiny with the press pack seeking gotchas from day one
I notice his wife has come under attack already which frankly is unacceptable
He seems to planning a Blairite style of government and if so how on earth does he hold his party together
I have no idea how he will cope with International affairs as he has no experience whatsoever in this field
Mind you concentrating on domestic policies is why he won Makerfield and according to Trevor Phillips the dog that didn't bark there was Gaza and that is a lesson that domestic issues concern voters way beyond international other than for the UK to have an effective defence strategy and budget
I hope he navigates through the maze confronting him but would caution expectation that he will see labour achieving a poll lead and sustaining it
Sure, we are in the interlude for a couple of weeks before he is officially confirmed, but the reason that it is a coronation is that the party is pretty much united behind him from Streeting to left wingers like Clive Lewis.
It is symptomatic of our attention deficit disordered world that we expect stuff to happen instantly. The absence of frenetic activity is seen as drift. It isn't.
