The country's going to have a right wing party. It might be one that, when it's sensible, aims for a big tent approach appealing to the centre as well as the right, or it might be a bunch of lunatic rage-baiters more interested in provoking anger than solving problems.
Edited: just to be on the safe side.
As it is, with the pitch easing out it will only take one decent innings from an Aussie batsman and they are home and hosed.
It’s pretty pathetic to be honest.
"It's the wrong strategy" is quite touching, since it implies the Kemi has a strategy. Does the insider want to get closer to Faragism, or draw a clearer line against it?
"It has had absolutely no effect on the polls" is another manifestation of the thing I keep moaning about- the idea that the transmission from cause to effect is an iron rod which is instant. It's more like a leaky hydraulic system filled with wet porridge. For changes to filter through to the public awareness, they need to be loud and repeated.
PGMOL will be offering the third umpire a job.
Neither drop Crawley.

Genius!
Imagine having spent thousands flying half way around the world, to sit and watch a two-day Test Match.
I hope those agencies who took down Gill are looking at any similarities anywhere else in that organisation. Did anyone else make similarly pro Russian, anti-Ukraine speeches in the European Parliament? I don't know, but perhaps someone a little more careful than Gill, did.
So an opportunity for Tory redemption. Will they take it? Of course not. On the day Nathan Gill was sentenced, Tory Central Office were more concerned by Starmer losing his footing in South Africa.
He and Smith are probably the key wickets if England are to somehow scrape a win.
Labour are still the opposition, but Reform are the enemy. That's uncomfortable, partly because of the number of blue to turquoise switchers, but also because Team Tory are struggling to find and advertise their USP on the right.
And Mandy had to go because there was much more to come out, vety clearly

(He does have very good judgement of political optics, which is what makes him so useful that he kept coming back. It's also what makes his weakness at applying that judgement to himself so noteworthy. I'm not sure it's totally paradoxical; introverted judgement and extroverted judgement look similar but I suspect are wired rather differently.)
In any event, the list of reasons she gives for the break is an interesting read.
Apart from her laudable position on the Epstein case, not altogether coherent, and certainly not a pivot to the centre.

It reads as a clear attempt to adopt the MAGA mantle should Trump crash and burn.
The rules are only for the little people.
Ex-MP Jared O'Mara charged with seven counts of fraud, you have to delve deep to find out what party he belonged to. Could you imagine if he had been UKIP, it would have been front page news implying all party members are equally crooked. Oh BBC 🙄

I am content with Badenoch and the Conservatives polling has stabilised
A poll this week had labour on 12 seats and frankly it is too far from the next election to put any credence on either the 14 or labour's 12
Or is she planning to run for something else?
Gill and Farage are birds of a feather.
Have lost BB connection for the second time since switching to Vodafone. Seems the support for DSL by Openreach is poor either by design or neglect. Is it time to move as Trooli have installed fibre at the end of the road?
What’s with Openreach at the moment. Are they just forcing people off DSL?
A judge who wore an Elvis Presley wig in his courtroom - and played the singer's music from his phone - has left the building.
Judge Matthew Thornhill is facing a six-month suspension because of disciplinary action over his conduct in Missouri.
Under the terms of an agreement, he would then serve for 18 months before resigning from the bench for good.

New: According to senior European officials I spoke with about the meeting noted below by the US embassy here in Kyiv, it did not go well. One senior European official described the tone of the meeting as “nauseating”.
US army secretary Daniel Driscoll told European ambassadors and western officials he was “optimistic that now is the time for peace” — but warned that Washington would show little flexibility.
“We are not negotiating details,” he said, according to a senior European official in the meeting at the Kyiv residence of US Chargé d’Affaires, Julie Davis. “We need to get this shit done,” he said.

Let's be clear, this deal was written by Russia.
It would be catastrophic.
Anyway, the offence is taking bribes, not refusing to toe the line on why the conflict started
Whether he was paid, other than by Russia Today, I don't know.
Enough to start a run probably.
Yes the pension thing is curious, but a few people have mentioned it, you need to sit for five years in Congress in order to get a Federal pension.
On another forum I visit Openreach have stopped training new hires on anything other than FTTP.
Good morning, everyone.
In any other country, the proceeds from a local tourist tax would go to its local government, surely?

Yet while Kemi has got the Tories back closer to 20% with a few gains from Reform in the polls since the party conference, the party is still polling below even the 24% Rishi got at the general election. If the Conservatives see losses at the devolved and local elections in May then Kemi could face a no confidence vote from Tory MPs she loses. Tory MPs would then have a choice of electing Cleverly to try and maximise tactical votes from Labour and the LDs against Reform in Tory held seats or giving Jenrick enough nominations to go to a membership vote he might now win on a platform of trying to out Farage Farage on leaving the ECHR and scrapping net zero even more than Kemi has
The only things I know about her is she told Emily Maitlis to ‘fuck off’ which is a plus, and some nutcase called Lara Loomer made comments about her oral capabilities with men other than her hubby.
a) there's not much sign he wants the job
b) there's not much sign the party want him doing the job
c) it brings the Conservative record in the runup to 2024 back into play.

There's a reason why the country keeps on voting for lawyers to be Prime Minister.

Probably because there are politicians in all parties that have taken it, either legally or illegally.
If only I could remember who that was.
"Saying similar things to Gill without even being paid for it" probably shouldn't be a political defence, but that depends on how teflon any such figure is, if they even exist.
The surrender plan represents a complete failure of Starmer's diplomatic policy in relation to Trump, which was about the only thing of his premiership that people were willing to give him any credit for.
So it wouldn't surprise me to find that they have tried to influence Greens, SNP etc etc.
But it is more pressing to scrutinise parties and individuals who might be taking positions in government. Dave Spart doesn't really matter that much.
Putin has played his card.
I still think the biggest conflict of national interest since Profumo ( probably since the War) was a serving Foreign Secretary attending a private party thrown by a KGB grandee and later elevating his son to the House of Lords. Probably nothing to see, but surely an investigation would be prudent.
Enough with this nauseating begging .
They want to retire the entire copper network
It should be easy to make money betting on England, as at some point in every match they are 4/1 on and 4/1 against
In terms of the war chest Russia has available to indulge in covert activity, Nathan Gill massively undersold himself.
