It was Jacob Rees Mogg who said it. Do you still agree? (only kidding) I did think his (JRM) resignation speech citing Caractacus Potts showed a touch of class.

It was an observation across Sussex. If I was pushed for a theory, I would guess it is easier to get a feel for how a vote might pan out in one or two towns, rather than across a disparate range of smaller towns and villages. Hence people feel better informed to vote tactically.

None of this is on the table. There is likely to be some moves to align things such as chemical and vetinary standards, but that is as far as it goes. Why would Starmer want to drag the country into another war of attrition and to what end? Bear in mind that the EU has zero interest in bringing...

Was having a look through the Sussex stats and drew two conclusions. 1 The RefUK vote was broadly aligned to the national stats (a couple below a couple above) which was surprising to me at least. 2 Tactical voting looks to be less of a thing in more rural areas, with no clear second place...

I think the roundheads would start as clear bookies favourites and doubt Charles would be so Cavalier.

I can't see this. 1 Labour have a massive majority and have no driving reason for electoral reform, other than to make some obvious changes to voter ID and possibly lower the voting age. 2 SKS is aiming to unite the country via economic growth. Anything that distracts from this challenge will...

Are there any Etonians left in parliament, or Harrowians for that matter and is this finally the end of the Bullingdon Club era? Who in the Tory party will be able to carry the natural ruling party aura now?

I think you are mis-interpreting the message. Labour wants a general election sooner rather than later. Sunak resigning and forcing another Tory leadership farce would delay a general election by months, so they are not calling on him to resign but to call a general election.

My theory is that most of the hard core voters would have been out yesterday. Those who only vote in general elections will include a large number who subconsciously don't want to vote for losers. Unless there is some momentous shift over the coming months, I think we can see the way the wind is...

They are being asked to vote for someone who will be in post for a matter of months before having to do it all again.

A source within Downing Street has just fed me a huge whopping lie, which I am going to repeat unqualified. I am obviously not going to declare my source, otherwise they will just pass on the next huge lie to another "respectable journalist". You mean knowledgeable in that kind of a way?
