Will Boris Johnson join Reform? – politicalbetting.com
Ladbrokes have a market on whether Boris Johnson will join Reform by the next general election. I cannot see Boris Johnson wanting to join, nor can I see Nigel Farage accepting him given his inability to work well with others,and of course there’s the issue of the Boriswave which cause problems for Reform.

What are the chances of new events being scheduled to replace the Bahrain and Saudi GPs, should they be postponed, is it too short notice to arrange a new race? I can imagine there will be a lot of lost revenue over this
Also, sort of on topic of former PMs, Mr Starmer only has a couple of days or so to beat Rishis total term in office
That should answer your questions.
Words fail me.
F1: Red Bull need to try and alter their setup rather a lot. Unable to pass midfielders on old tyres is not impressive.
Ferrari can fight Mercedes wheel-to-wheel but not on raw race pace. If they had smart strategy it might be doable. But they are Ferrari, so...
I don't believe the question "is Starmer unethical or ethical?" is the best question. "Does Starmer appear ethical or unethical?" would generate a much sharper divergence
I'd like him to fall on his sword, the level of hatred against the man is off the scale and a distraction for functional government. Some of that contempt is well deserved (he is shockingly bad at politics) but a great deal has been confected by the media due to his demand for a second Referendum and his undermining poor Boris.

Feel sorry for those working in petrol stations getting abuse because the green zealot's trying to blame the private sector ahead of a potential government hike in income tax because a moron in America didn't realise starting an unplanned, pointless war in the Middle East had the obvious consequence of a rise in oil prices.
We did agree that those abusing minimum wage cashiers at petrol stations deserve their own place in idiot's corner/ Hell.
(Same as the free market buying price of a thing is the lowest the seller can be persuaded/forced to swallow. Those two things don't have to overlap, but when they do, wonderful things can happen.)
One has to admire their chutzpah
He thinks he was unfairly oustsed and the counry and world needs him.
Like Winston Churchill he considers this wilderness years, Winnie also had two separate stints as PM, he's still younger than when Winnie first became PM.
Boris also hates it when friends of Dave remind him that Dave (pbuh) was PM for twice as long as Boris.
Also, Churchill also defected from the Tories.
The Mad King seems determined to keep the oil price high and force Iran to mine the strait

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone speak in a way that so perfectly captures what a sentient penis would sound like. Hegseth is just unrelenting cystic cock. Roided id in the shape of a sad drunk.

When he enters a plea before a judge, has a fair trial and is sentenced, we'll all have closure.
And Trump 47 seems to be working just fine.
“The Lebanese health ministry said that at least 12 medics, including doctors and nurses were killed in the town of Burj Qalawiya when the town's primary healthcare centre was hit overnight.”

Wilson (1964-70, 1974-76).
*NB Gladstone also had two terms before the Act.
Boris may not get on with Farage but many Reform voters would find him palatable and it's not hard to visualise a Mail / Express / GB News campaign to GET BORIS BACK to save the Tories and the Right!
Will he join Reform = never!
Will he rejoin Tory push and lead again = never say never !
Marines on their way to the region. Looks like this is where the boots on the ground are going in. Which, frankly, makes sense if they are going anywhere.
Iran without 90% of its oil income is a solid negotiating chip.
Elsewhere, Hegseth geting a serious kicking for his "no quarter" comment. Makes him a war criminal at risk of life imprisonment. Ooops.
The alternative to thinking that he was unfairly and temporarily ousted is for BoJo to acknowledge that he was the author of his own downfall.
You probably have to be a bit vain to be an effective PM (it's part of Starmer's and Sunak's problem), but it's a bit like the peacock's tail; selection pressures can turn something cool into something absurd.
Sarah Brown on the other hand, a polar opposite and never given credit she deserves.
For the other lifers in whatever prison he ended up in.
"Hegseth is the American Medvedv and they share alcoholism as a common trait among others"
That they did it without hitting any oil facilities is the bigger surprise. Thankfully, likely to be no girls' schools of any size on KI...
As a society, we're much more inclined to cast into the outer darkness; I'm fairly confident that one of Corbyn's problems was that the people had already rejected him in 2017 and we don't like being ignored like that.
I'm not sure that that dynamic is a good thing for the good governance of the nation.

From a far, they seem very different people to me.
Anyhoo here's the full Cherie Blair quite, where she doesn't use the word sorry.
“I feel very sad that it’s come to this,” she said. “I think … when anyone’s life falls apart, we should remember that there’s still a human being. And also, of course, we should also remember that they’re entitled to a fair trial.”
She added: “In the media, and particularly today with social media, too many people forget that the people that they’re talking about are human beings with feelings and can be hurt.”

Was this primarily so as not to cause a further spike in oil prices ? Or was it so the US can use it as a bargaining chip later?
2026 might be a lean year - no cash no banking system
Of course I’m doing logic here which might not happen !

So far they seem to attract the mad, bad and dispossessed. We have seen in Reform councils how these people come a cropper when the rhetoric of "all the money is wasted on woke" splats against reality. They have no ideas other than bad ones based on fantasy, so actually turning things around becomes difficult.
Who are the people being lined up as fukker candidates for Westminster? The mad, bad and dispossessed. Should we be unlucky enough to have these fukkers in government, the only ones capable of doing anything are the ones who have already proven themselves to be unfit and incapable.
Which leaves the Lords. So far we have a former handmaid leading the party in Scotland as the highest profile. Is the intention to attract people from industry? Lets be honest, they'll be spivs won't they?
So back to Boris. Why on earth would he want to join that?
It sounds too much like Klingon.
What basis is there for believing a word Trump or his bootlickers say?
They have parked their tanks on the LibDems lawn
Oh wait......
Major downside is he starts terribly, or seems to this year.
This is one of those topics where PB is out of touch with public sentiment - just check out the comments on the BBC article. And blaming the government for abusive behaviour from some motorists to retail staff is just...mad.
Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne no longer interested in Reform-Tory pact
The Thailand-based cryptocurrency investor had previously wanted Farage to keep an open mind about a pact between the two parties, the same sources added.
This position has changed, however. Harborne said in an emailed statement: “In the past this was possibly the case, but it is no longer the case.”
He also said he believed that “cryptocurrency should be regulated in the UK”.
Farage has been vocal in advocating for wider adoption of cryptocurrency in Britain, including at a meeting with the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, last year. He said the central bank was “moving a little too slowly” on the matter.
Reform has promised to turn the UK into a “premier hub” for cryptocurrency and to slash capital gains on it to 10% from the basic rate of 18% or the higher rate of 24%.
Harborne told the Guardian Farage was “correct” in saying that he had asked for nothing in return for his donations.

I suspect the tragic early death of his mother has something to do with it.
What if the aim is to seriously degrade Irans capabilities and then pick off things at their leisure ?
Milibands policy of raining prices will bite Labour in the arse.
Because that's how his fellow NU10Kers see him. as One of Them. To be supported through his Tough Time. "I know it's a bit soon, but could we promise him, at least, that we will find him a place on the board of the charity? It will mean so much to him after losing his holiday in the Caribbean."
The best bit is the lack of awareness that he was certainly selling secrets when in the Blair government.
In the brilliant documentary, Sour Grapes, a character referred to as Hollywood Jeff (tells us how Rudy Kurniawan (the notorious wine forger) was a friend and there was no way that the wines that Ray sold him (as a mate) were anything but AOK. So he takes one to a tasting...
Not the most natural seat on a horse I’ve seen, but I bet the IRGC are quivering in their boots nevertheless.

(Though I must say I've been disappointed the government isn't pushing that point more forcefully).
That's fine at a campaign rally, but hardly ever works in government. There's nearly always a very good reason for not doing the one eady trick; either it doesn't work or it comes with horrible consequences. That's when it gets... "interesting".
