Not necessarily as it depends on why people turned off from the Tories. Many of the “incompetent Government” ilk will have gone to Labour (as the only realistic alternative party of Government). Some will have gone to the Lads for their softer, more Europhile approach to the Tory headbangers...

Well I'm sure this will give the accusations that she's always been too cosy with Tory politicians absolutely no fuel whatsoever. Even if it's not evidence that she has been well in the No.10 sphere in recent years in a way which brings her role into disrepute, such flagrant incompetence should...

I think a large part of it is because Iran’s mad leader doesn’t have access to enough nuclear warheads to obliterate the planet whereas Russia’s mad leader does, so the tightrope to walk is thinner.

Civilians need protecting from military force. Whether they live in Tel-Aviv, Gaza, Kyiv, Tehran or anywhere else. I’d be much less comfortable if we were involved in protecting (e.g.) Israeli airbases, as far as I’m concerned that’s their problem to deal with. We’ve acted in Israel to protect...

A review of the (now closed) Genesis Expo creationist museum in Portsmouth

I genuinely don’t get what they would see in Southgate, at no point have even some of the biggest advocates of his time in England said “Southgate…absolute tactical genius”. Him against Guardiola would be the footballing equivalent of lions vs Christians, but less of a close contest.

How dare they!

As with basically the entirety of the last 50 years, it’s all tit-for-tat back-and-forth where Israel does something, so Iran has to be seen to do something to avoid “losing face”, so Israel has to do something, so Iran has to do something and so on and so forth.

This is an A1X, better known as a "Terrier". An iconic Brighton Works design for the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway which survived for nearly a century in mainline service from 1870 until 1963. .

It is worth pointing out that the heritage railway sector (which is a billion pound industry in the tourism sector across the UK, nothing to be sniffed at) is working on innovations to solve the coal issue, and has been since the supply of cheap Russian coal dried up in 2022. Currently ovoids...

The last two were Principal Private Secretaries to Johnson and Blair, who appointed them in turn to the role. We didn’t actually have one at all between 2012 and 2020.

Now this is a gift Starmer should declare

Yes, in much the same way as the Germans occupied Alsace and Lorraine after the war of 1871, a move which eventually led to the grievances which caused the Great War.

BUT…the England setup want Jofra playing tests next season. Could we see him for a game or two at the start of the season? As for Ollie, I think his ship has sailed. I don’t know what happened but it feels like the trust has gone, and that’s tough to come back from. My suspicion is he’s now a...

So that’s now twice you’ve dodged answering the question. Is it because you can’t or because you won’t answer? Here’s your third opportunity. Do Palestinians have a right to exist? Do they have a right to a homeland not illegally occupied?

I suspect it’s less test results and more legal advice. He, like a certain other right wing wannabe dictator I will neither name nor buy a watch from, will do anything to stay out of prison. Literally anything.

Hi, historian here, so I certainly don’t. Therefore, I will ask the questions you avoided answering. Do Palestinians have a right to exist? Do they have a right to a homeland not illegally occupied? Note that the “illegal occupation” in this sense refers not to the state of Israel as a whole...
