Mark my words, when Starmer wins the election he will ask David Cameron to remain Foreign Secretary.
The metropolis votes for those damn socialists anyway.
They voted for the effing budget, so what are they complaining about ?
They're as useless as the Republican Congressfolk who deprecate Trump's language, and endorse him anyway.
Wankers every one of them.
Spend the next 4.5 years doing sod all.
If I were a Tory MP in a red wall seat, or a red wall voter, I would feel utterly betrayed by those at the top of the Party.
The Tories deserve to lose the next election for many reasons, but this is a particularly good one.

They're part of the problem, FFS.
By also pissing off their own core vote in the south - something I warned would happen when people were proclaiming 10 years of Johnson - they've made their support base tiny.
They are basically a fringe party at this point, quite incredible to see. It's easily possible the Tories never govern again.
Here is a famous scene from Ridley Scott's 1977 film the Duellists.

The woman keeps laughing.
The reason is because she's noticed the stallion is getting in on the love making action (seconds 30-48) by having a massive erection.
(Apparently the mare was in season.)
NN was just cobbled together to include as much as possible, some into the mid 2030s, much nothing to do with the north, so that Rishi could present a big number for it as an HS2 replacement at the Tory party conference.

Good evening PB.
The most golden of all golden political rules is that opposition always arises.
NEW: Big climb down just slipped out without any fanfare by the Home Office on its plans to reduce immigration
Minimum income threshold needed to bring foreign spouses to UK will only rise to £29,000 initially. No timeline for it to be raised to £38,700

SNP to finish third behind the Tories?
Rudy Giuliani has filed for bankruptcy after two election workers sued him for defamation and won $148.1m in damages.
Reuters reported that court documents show Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former attorney and former mayor of New York, filed for bankruptcy protection.
Earlier in the day a Washington DC judge allowed the two Georgia election workers who successfully sued Giuliani to immediately collect their millions in damages.
The workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, would typically have to wait 30 days before they can start attempts to collect payments, but Beryl Howell agreed that Giuliani has “proven himself to be an unwilling and uncooperative litigant”.

We did that to Francois Hollande. We insisted he arrived at Waterloo.... and then got him to inspect the tallest guards wearimg their bearskin headdresses. Made him really look the midget that he was.
(More likely a number pulled out at random turned out to be a stupid number. Moral is don't pull out numbers at random.)

Which apparently do NOT include many in the Red Wall.
But still some in the Blue Wall and/or Outer London?
Remember that MoE works (more or less) on absolute numbers, not proportional ones. So 'up 2' is much more relevant than 'doubled'.
That said, the Green vote does look low.
I think you're probably right, even if I think as a strategy it's dim.
Survation also aren't doing that many polls. Not sure when this is compared to, as it's a sample of under 800, when their previous two polls were 12,000+. You have to go back to July to find their last poll of a similar size.

Despite promptings/urgings/warnings of journos/minders/greeters. ESPECIALLY when hanging out with the military.
No wonder JKF eschewed (and allegedly helped kill) the hat.
Last POTUS to wear head-gear with any political success was Calvin Coolidge whose Class-A poker face went well with an (allegedly) Native American warbonnet.
Last UK PM with a flair for hat-wearing was Harold Macmillan, who stunned the Soviets by showing up in Moscow wearing a bigger and better fur hat than anything the Politburo was sporting.
Indeed, when Liz Truss trotted out (apologies to SWP and CUP activists) her Margaret Thatcher at the Kremlin, what what LT was REALLY doing, was imitating MT's own imitation of SuperMac-ovich.
So well done Keir!
These people lived through the 80s, they saw the Tories gut these places. And 30 years later they eagerly swallowed the bullshit and queued up to put their tick in the Leave box and then for Johnson. All because they don’t like foreigners.
Well, they definitely know now that the Tories don’t give a flying fuck about the north. That Brexit was built on Tory lies. The NHS isn’t better. Food isn’t cheaper. There’s still fuel on VAT. There have been considerable downsides. Including the utter contempt the Tories have shown for the north.
It’s a shame we’ve had to suffer so much damage for the scales to fall from these people’s eyes.
A starmer government will also do precisely sweet fa for them as no on in london, which is most mp's give a shit about anything outside london
If so can we see a picture of the majority with the dog for scale?
Mind you, the further implication is there are non-dodgy civil servants out there, which experience suggests isn't the case.
