Starmer is ok, but when you listen to the ultimate snake-oil salesman you realise you’re in the presence of a master.
Can’t see daft Charlie or baldie Wullie ever giving the Oaf a knighthood.
And as I've mentioned, the longer this goes on the less chance Sunak has of becoming PM.
It's only a matter of time before the Liar-in-Chief goes. But with each passing day the wounds cut deeper into the Conservative Party.
It's a good time to be left-of-centre like me
Tee hee.
But for Labour's sake I really hope Johnson continues to cling on. He's a toxic liability now and the best bit from my point of view is that the tory party is beginning to rip itself apart.
I’ve never been a trendsetter before.
Only took eighteen years.
She reminds me a bit of Katie Hopkins situation where just apologising and not repeating the same claims would have been the end of it, instead keep sticking their foot in it.
Regarding Con Party: OMGOMGOMG. I think all my Christmases came at once.
The United Kingdom of Whatever.
(Well unless they offer a cashout)

Really though it isn't so hard to actually think.
Deleted. [funny but cannot guarantee animals we’re not harmed]
Guess what, the sample size is 9,602. This MRP strategy allowed them predict the winners of 95% of the seats at GE2019.
ETA but make sure the market rules are back to back
A: The piercing
Ditto Castile-Catalonia.
Ditto Loyalist America-Quebec.
Ditto Chinese Empire-Taiwan.
etc etc etc
Might is Right as far as “real” Tories are concerned.
I get it obviously with exchange betting and spread betting but not with a fixed price sportsbook bet. Totally and genuinely confused.
There's some similarity between this and some of the polling we saw in 2006/07 regarding Blair and Brown.

There's no oil involved. It's bad but any UK leader who begins committing too much to the defence of Ukraine is absolutely desperate. Oh wait ...
"Stanley Johnson was in my local in Queens Park on Monday night, drinking a half of lager in an Estrella glass and eating cheese crisps. I mentioned to someone that it must be tense in the Johnson family at the moment, and was reminded of an incident here last summer when someone approached Stanley in the same pub to tell him that his son was a c*nt. To which Johnson Senior wearily replied, 'Yes, I know.'"
Lay Sunak at 2.8 which say is 2/1 for simplicity, accepting a bet of 1,000
Sunak wins you win 3,000
Sunak loses you win 1,000 or rather 980
ETA if you can find the liquidity for the lay
I don't think Jo Johnson thinks a lot of his brother either.
However, think that GB's biggest problem, was the Peter Principle. Did for him, as it did Sir Anthony Eden.
How Sunak performs viz-a-viz the dread PP, if (or is it when?) push comes to shove (for Boris), is an open question.
A Prince Albert is a piercing of the penis, in which a metal ring is pierced through the skin at the tip of the penis.
The ring begins almost straight to pierce through the penis, and is then bent with pliers to create a rounded ring shape.

So what’s a Prince Andrew piercing then, to have a difference between the two, so there’s a working joke?
Is a Prince Andrew piercing like when Madonna had her brain pierced, so she could have a stud in her head all night long?
Q. What's the diff between Prince Albert and Prince Andrew"
A. Folks want Prince Albert OUT of the can, but they want Prince Andrew IN the can.
For puzzled Brits and American whippersnappers, see this from Wiki:
"Prince Albert in a can"
The brand is the basis of a practical joke, usually made in the form of a prank call. The prankster typically calls a store and asks if they have "Prince Albert in a can". When the unsuspecting clerk responds, "yes", (because the tobacco is typically packaged in a can, though other forms of packaging also existed), the caller follows up with, "well, you'd better let him out!" or similar.[6][7]
More broadly, if the Tories put him into bat and inflationary pressure turns out to be a spike rather than a trend, I think he has a reasonable chance of winning the next election.
We've been slogging through the misery of Covid seemingly for so long that it's very easy to forget that there may well be more time left to go between now and the next election than has elapsed between the last election and now - a political age, in which all manner of things could happen.
Crucially Johnson has failed to assure MPs there are no more revelations to come.
The bid to oust him has only just begun. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/conservatives/2022/01/the-plot-to-oust-boris-johnson-has-not-been-foiled-it-has-only-just-begun
I remember she deleted a tweet about a Tory donor who had to show source of funds opening up a new bank account like it was a smoking gun.
I mean that's a standard procedure for every bank in the UK when someone opens an account and transfers a large amount in, and I mean anything about £20,000 and above can get flagged up.
And don't even ask about docking.
The fact Sunak leads Starmer by just 1% as preferred PM, also means even Sunak would fail to win another Conservative majority at the next general election. All Sunak could hope to do would be to win most seats in a hung parliament but even then Starmer would likely become PM with SNP and LD support
As recently as 2015, Prince Andrew's ringtone was Clocks by Coldplay.
Only way it could have been worse is if it was a Radiohead track?
what a shame

A fitting honour for Andrew
The theories that the Queen is forever trying to silently communicate her disapproval of Boris Johnson with her choice of brooch, or serving some masterful clapback to the Sussexes by drinking a particular blend of tea, don't cut much ice with us – but we have to admit we did enjoy this recent royal update.
The same week that the Queen stripped Andrew of all his military titles, affiliations and the HRH honorific, the Daily Mail reported that she'd just registered a new racehorse... and called it "Interview".
This year is their 40th graduation anniversary* meet up. In think he's invited them to hold it chez-lui.
* delayed one year due to COVID.
The notion that the Conservative position might improve under a new leader, or that Labour might encounter some fresh bumps in the road between then and now, isn't even considered.
Even if some polling conducted now represents anything like an accurate reflection of current public opinion, this does not, of course, imply that public opinion will remain pickled in aspic for over two years.

As I have posted before, I don't think the Palace would accept this, if Raab intends to be a candidate in leadership.
They will seek a caretaker who is not and clearly not a candidate.
Let's add lots of extraneous detail so my made up story sounds more plausible.
(Not that you made it up, TSE.)
But my view is that this is part of a wider culture in the current government: not blackmail, but bullying. And the bullying starts at the top. I think Boris is a bully. Cummings is/was a bully. Patel is a known bully. There will be others. They bully civil servants, driving quite a few out of the job. They bully SPADs that they turn against. And, following their lead, the Whips bully MPs with a nod and a wink from No. 10 - most notably over Paterson, and now over the PM's future. I suspect this bullying is alienating quite a few MPs, and they're getting sick of it - except for the sycophants sent out to defend the PM, of course.
So, my theory is that the bullying culture emanating from No. 10 is much more damaging to good governance than the (alleged) drinking culture.
Not that there is anything wrong with that of course
Blackmail has been part of the Whipping playbook for decades - nobody complained when it was, to pick a random example - Blair.
Seats rather like Epping Forest
"Child abuse happened under Blair, always ha, always will, so what's your point?"
If you are going old elite then Home given he was from an aristocratic family, new elite Sunak
