It was panned in the Guardian a few days ago though apparently it went down a storm in New York. It’s a pretty incredible feat of memory, regardless.

I’ve no idea what you’re talking about or why you would have any awareness of what I thought about these events — had I known they were happening. If it isn’t clear, let me spell it out. All acts of political violence, whether it involves a ‘little milkshake’ or something more lethal, are the...

The Prescott punch was massive news, you one-eyed cretin.

Shame on you.

Dangerous thinking. Who is the arbiter of whether a politician deserves to be assaulted — you? No. Just don’t do it. Use your brains to attack your political enemies if you must. How long will it be before someone who takes exception to Starmer or Sunak deciding to attack them? A milkshake...

Sorry but I’m going to be po-faced about this. Regardless of who the person is, we don’t physically attack politicians in this country. If you can’t see where this leads, you’re as thick as any Reform supporter.

They’re certainly unconventional but from what I can see, no one seems to mind. They’re more of a protest vote, a magnet for contrarians, than a normal political party. Should the unthinkable happen, and they get big enough to be the official opposition, or at least have a sizeable presence in...

I suspect Tice is delighted to have Farage take back the reins. He was asking for him to rethink his plan to go to the US. Will be interesting to see what the polls say this weekend. It’s surely only a matter of time before Reform overtakes the Tories. They’re already ahead of the LibDems and...

Oh FFS. Some people are never happy unless they’ve something to moan about. And if there’s nothing to moan about, let’s invent a long list of bad things so that we can play-act at moaning. You do my head in.

Fair point. I’m not yet certain what he’s up to but I agree that to get anywhere he needs massive traditional Tory support. A little bit of buttering up would probably go a long way. People don’t like being told they’re bad people for taking another tack on the broad right/centre right. As he’s...

Far too precious. The Mail and Telegraph are Tory papers. They have their base and they give them what they want. The Times carries a wide range of opinion pieces and certainly includes plenty of criticism of the Tories though yes, they’re essentially a conservative paper. The Sun is a...

Do you have any examples of this suppression of opinion?

I can’t think what your opening word could be or why you would choose it. Am I being thick? Edited— ah wait, you’re on a different time zone and that was yesterday’s puzzle. All is clear now.

I’m quite pleased he’s standing. The campaign has been as dull as ditchwater so far and this is certain to, as I think he said himself, spice it up. I’m in the luxurious position of not being wedded to any particular party or ideology. Elections are a spectator sport. A bit of modest...

Just out of interest, how does your mate know that this guy is in talks with a PL club…? Ah, I see. So he doesn’t know anything about him.

Do you seriously think Reform members wouldn’t elect Farage by a huge majority? Didn’t he found the party? Tice has obviously begged him to take over. It will boost their vote no end. Probably good news for Labour and LibDems in that it will split the Tory vote yet further. In Eastbourne for...

Hard to predict. I think some current would-be Labour voters will certainly switch to Farage but equally, some latent Labour supporters and some who’d planned not to vote will now vote against Farage. These demographics might well cancel each other out. The big question for me is what happens to...

Eh? Labour have no electoral presence in Clacton and with Farage standing, their vote will be squeezed further. This is the seat that UKIP actually had an MP elected. After Carswell stood down it reverted to Tory. I think Farage might actually win here. All depends on where the Tory vote goes...

Why do you “genuinely think” that? Like the rest of us, you know sweet FA about what names are on the Bloom list. There’s no disgrace in simply saying you don’t have any information but it seems like it’s too much for some people to admit. I have no information whatever about who was or is or...
