I'm not attracted to it for the reasons someone else gave re macron. Was explaining that when parties fracture, unless there is some equal distribution then the centre can become too safe.

I understand ITV are stunned by the criticism they are getting especially as it's coming from 'their own' I.e. other news journalists and producers. Rob Burley (ex of bbc and sky) who produced andrew marr/Sophie raworth on sunday, and daily/Sunday politics shows has been vocal as has andrew...

It's a media monitoring agency. I too am concerned about supporting bias and am having it rechecked but will share when done. It covers uninterrupted speech Talking over Interruption A few times early on, starmer appears to give way to the interruption and himself interrupted less. Second half...

It would have taken more than 45 seconds ro have said much of this. Also it has now been assessed that starmer on average got less than 35 seconds to talk whereas sunak got 43 seconds unchallenged plus on average 10 seconds of butting in each question. So c50% more talking time which over an...

I do believe that admiral (reserve) mourdant was hauled over the coals for using language unbecoming of an MP in a speech having lost an officers' dare to do so. So if you want a woman who can handle a mighty sword in her two mits, has responsibility for a lot of seamen, polishes weapons and...

I always thought she was called Gail because her face had been blown inside out by one

Sunak had a tactic which was to push the rules and bank on a weak moderator (someone who normally presents and doesn't interview a bit like bruce) rolling over. It worked for him to a point. Dissection in 45 seconds was alway going to be a challenge. I don't know much about the format but last...

And that my friends is thread closed

The return of farage v mishal hussein. He didn't handle it well on the Today programme earlier this week. Mordaunt will see this as an audition as the next tory leader. She is witty and may win the public over. Rayner has most to lose and greens, snp, plaid and tories will all be aiming at...

I once had life insurance refused for high gamma gt levels. Tests etc all looked at fatty liver and in the end I needed a consultant from a London hospital to write to the insurance Co to say it was not down to lifestyle of illness and that I was one of 10% of people with high gamma gt that was...

That last point is interesting. And all because the tory party feel the way to win is to go further right. It will make a true social democratic centrist party out of Labour that could reign for 20 years. Years ago when I studied sociology and politics, my course head kept on about how one day...

There are a few things overall. - Whatever govt is in needs an effective opposition. - the tory members who voted in Boris and then Truss were part of the issue (a bit like members who voted in ed m and then magic grandpa for labour). I mean you only have to look at the tories in London and the...

But as a manifesto hasn't been published yet then it is of course , bollox.

It took 6 months to prove the brexit bus was a lie. This has been debunked in less that 12 hrs. If all the tories have is lie and hope to get away with it then that is a huge worry for the nation as a whole. Sunak said he would bring integrity back to politics but all he has done it shown he...

You wrote this after it has been proven he lied. It's like saying Ben Johnson is 1988 olympic 100m champion despite now knowing he was stripped of it days later

I think the analogy is that he has failed his drug test

He said no increases on vat ( except on private school fees) , ni or income tax. That leaves the many other taxes that don't impact the vast majority of people e.g non dom status etc to be looked at. For most people they are unlikely to be impacted by them

I'm mo Just to mention, the 1st politician to mention a furlough scheme was John McDonnell

I've sometimes had a beer outside the ground previously. Usually when meeting people who are sitting elsewhere. Never been to Dicks on a matchday as have kids with me. I may use this but doubt I will be a regular

You could always order an Andone One half and you'll be off
