Alas poor Widders I knew her well. Feisty, fun, principled & kind. Using her murder as a political football is obscene.

Poor old Widders. I liked her tremendously. In many ways, like all of us, a mass of contradictions. She was kind, principled and sometimes a bit shrieky towards the end. She had that natural gift that so many politicians try to fake and fail miserably; humanity. When Harvey Pr...
Wouldn’t be glorious if Count Binface won? I am thinking of hiring a charabanc, filling it up with booze & distributing badges with the vote winning Vote for a Count not a C**t

Nobody is suggesting that Nigel Farage has broken the law, nor is anyone hinting that his gifts are tainted. But the optics are terrible. Although I disagree with Nigel on just about everything I have always found him charming and fun to be with. He is one of the great...
Andy & Kemi have given hope to their Parties, the Reform bubble is deflating, but personal attacks on Burnham will be like strangling the Andrex puppy

If only people realised that most politicians are not masters of mass delusion but pretty adept at self delusion.There are a number of golden rules in politics. Never trust a politician who tells you how many MPs are supporting them. All they want to do is trick potential supp...
Wes has bottled it. His campaign has become an omishambles shitshow. NO 10 will call him Was

As soon as Kemi Badenoch had evidence that the ghastly Jenrick was going to defect she sacked him. It signified strength & self confidence. It was risky as she was in a precarious position. But it worked. That is leadership. As soon as Starmer had evidence that Str...
Cometh the hour cometh the removal van. But not just yet. The best is yet to come.

I do wish that those who should know better would stop describing the appointment of Mandelson as a failure of the state. It isn’t. It is the failure of Starmer to understand what is expected of him as a politician and a Prime Minister. The tragedy for the country is that he ...
The government’s plans to cut jury trials spits in the face of justice & the concept of a fair trial. I will join Karl Turner MP on the barricades so must you if you believe in democracy

I have just read the Courts and Tribunals Bill from cover to cover. It is not a happy read. It is the most authoritarian set of proposals put forward by a democratically elected British government that I have ever had the misfortune to read. It is an affront to our democracy. ...
Who can distance themselves from Mandelson to challenge Starmer? Very, very difficult except for Rayner & what a gift to the Tories
- 6 Feb 2026
I have been involved in politics for over fifty years and have never seen a prime minister so skilfully dismembered by a leader of the opposition. At best they win skirmishes score a few points, get a few cheers and maybe the splendid Quentin Letts gives them a paragraph. Norm...
Kemi has thrown on the mantle of the Terminator now she should heed Arnie’s words, “the future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves”. There is everything to play for.

You could hear the screech of brakes and the smell of burning rubber as, after getting lost on his way to the podium, the ridiculous Jenrick shoved his tongue so far up Nigel Farage’s backside that you needed a team of sniffer dogs to remove it. Was it only a few weeks ago th...
We are sleeping walking into becoming a totalitarian state
- 5 Dec 2025
I never thought that I would think, let alone write, that our sleepy, tolerant and laid back little island is sleep walking into becoming a totalitarian state. You probably think that I am exaggerating to prove some obscure political point. I wish that I was. Let’s loo...
Trump is weak, Starmer stuffed and if Kruger is the answer you are asking the wrong question
- 20 Sep 2025
You would have to have a heart of stone not to have bathed in the deliciously saccharine waters of Trump’s state visit. The sheer Disneyland of the pageantry, the gold coaches, the brass bands, crowns and tiaras are the sort of Olde England fantasy that obsesses so many Americ...
