Prob 3 years to the election that counts..
3 more years of Tory sleaze revelations, from Cummings, and the Brexit/covid economic reality to hit home. The lovable buffoon act and repeated lies will wear thin.

Met up with a friend for a few beers in an outdoor beer garden last night in Otley - he's a SpAD in one of the Ministries, and the betting money is heavily on a lot of stuff coming out about Dido Harding...

I agree - it's demeaning when politicians do things like this...

Her lyrics from "White Flag" are quite prophetic...
Quote:
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
Destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble

Re: Sir Keir Starmer elected as new Labour leader
I think Pearls Cafe by The Specials covers it all a heel of a lot more accurately (well at least the "it's all a load of..... " bit)

Wonder if that's part of it? Admit he's a crook and a charlatan over this and inevitably his rationale for brexit is then in question, still it won't last for ever and then there will be no hiding his government reeks of sleeze every bit as much as John Major's

He won't be able to blame the EU any longer, they were a useful fall guy.
He could always try blaming the BBC, but the link to national govt. might be tricky....

I'd say it was more disappointment that angst, disappointed that yet again a tory government drowns itself in sleeze

We must be lucky that we don't get upset by a bit of painting and decorating in someone else's house, I'm so glad I'm not delicate and easily upset.

Re: Sir Keir Starmer elected as new Labour leader
Or don’t understand it’s not about the "painting and decorating", it’s about how the funding has been obfuscated - if someone else pays for something, that gives them influence/leverage over the recipient.
It’s the fact the the country’s leader could have received an illegal payment, and then lies about it, that gets people "easily upset"…
