It's actually getting to the point where betting big odds on Labour is an attractive alternative to leaving your money on deposit.
Lee Anderson and Brendan Clarke Smith have resigned
Claiming as a result that my account is £61 in credit instead of £190.
What a bunch of lunatic scumbags.
Which police force do I call about this, because I have had the fuck enough?
Or are you a member of the Consumers Association by any chance?
As a matter of interest, what do we know of the various parties battlechests? How ready for an election are they, money-wise?
Could we see a Tory sub-20% VI in a poll though? I'd say less likely than a sub-40% Labour VI (which I expect at some point - not including the Telegraph MRP) but not out of the question.

It's not about the rate they're charging. They've charged me twice.
If the Conservative Party ends up about 1/3 nutter MP, they can get someone on the final shortlist. That seems like a relatively easy bar, sadly.
Then, unless the blow up during the member vote (always possible), they win with the members.
We could be in line for a huge realignment.
Stupid self indulgence that makes me nostalgic for the Brexit parliament where there was at least a real issue at stake.
Perhaps membership should be limited to those with an IQ above 80.
Although they played that game on the account at my father's place, issuing estimated readings (totally wrong, to the tune of £600 in their favour) even when they had twice had the correct readings.
You could shout at your MP. Oh wait its Amanda Milling. I doubt she'd understand.
But I'm in such a state of rage right now somebody might get seriously hurt, and I wouldn't really want that. They're stupid, but not I think malicious.

60 Tory rebels on Rwanda include 10 former Cabinet ministers
Meanwhile, from today’s BIS SC hearing on the Post Office scandal, welcome news that Fujitsu accepts that it will have to cough up some £££, and shocking news that there is a subpostmaster who was imprisoned who has only just made contact with the campaign, following the TV drama.
Border Collies are smart.
The Scorpion and the Frog. The Party just can't help itself.
Are you sure that's entirely wise?

It will be heard as a snide dig and an insult by CWF, the ERG and the Common Sense Group who will view, in turn, One Nation Conservative as europhile, Wet and quasi-socialist. And its not even true as Ken Clarke and Matthew Parris support the objectives of Rwanda.
Only comments that help are unifying ones around country, monarchy, conservation, sound money, sound values and sound government.
Nobody is pro Sunak , never has been , he sort of won the leadership by default . Doing slightly better in Leicester due to his heritage is not much compensation for losing millions of tory voters who see him as a ineffectual yes man
Within those constraints, what are the big ideas swirling around in radical conservative circles, costed (so not Trussism), thought out, deliverable, which are so different from the generality of the Overton Window. If they were around, would we not be talking about them?
To many of them, saying is more important than doing. Winning the vote more important than enacting things in the real world. Office more important than power.
It's a temptation to all political people and parties. Heck, the Lib Dems have been re-enacting being a real political party for a century or so. And Kinnock's 1985 conference speech remains all that needs to be said about that attitude.
But it's nature's way of telling us a party needs a break. A term or three to realise that opposition may allow you to speak, write and dream to your heart's content. But it also means that you don't get to make a single word of it happen.
Surely to goodness as a nation we are way better educated to fall for hanging, flogging and hanging and flogging foreigners.
Are we more, or less, informed? More, or less, prone to hopecasting?
We'll never know.
The next GE is not a done deal, and let’s not count our chickens until they are well and truly roosting post election.
If you think that things have to change then unthinkable solutions come in to play. It is like in Germany where politicians claiming 'we can do this' in 2015 (bringing in millions of refugees) are replaced in 2024 by politicians promising to deport millions of refugees.
What I can say for sure is politicians are so entrenched in ideology that they have become out of touch with real life outside the demands of their activist base. IE Councils devoting resources to being a 'Borough of sanctuary' for asylum seekers, providing immigrants with housing etc, when they themselves have massive waiting lists and people at their wits end with no housing, teenage single mothers being housed 200 miles away from family etc. Things like this get corrected in the fullness of time.
a) we get some flights off to Rwanda, then that will lead to:
b) the boats being stopped; and that will lead to:
c) the Tories winning the 2024 GE as voters express their gratitude.
By my reckoning, even if a) happened (unlikely), then that's unlikely to lead to b) happening. But let's suspend disbelief and imagine they're triumphant and both a) and b) happen this year. Do they seriously believe that this is the main issue above all that would lead to c), and voters would just ignore every other grievance they have about the government?
I find the whole thing completely baffling.
Nick Read in particular is just useless: how can a CEO not know that a confidentiality clause in a settlement agreement = a Non-Disclosure Agreement?
To call these people third-rate is to compliment them.
