The mad left purists want Starmer to lose. The mad right purists want Sunak to lose. Both want to prove a point in a death embrace of their parties. It’s time for Sunak to unleash TINA

There is a prophetic line in an old episode of Doctor Who when David Tennant tells the Prime Minister that he could destroy her with just four words. He then whispers to an aide, “doesn’t she look tired?” Within weeks she had been forced to resign after rumours about her healt...
All is not lost for the Tories. There is everything to play for
- 6 Dec 2022
I am not as pessimistic as many Tories are about a wipeout at the next general election. Admittedly, I no longer bang on doors or go to fund raisers. But I kid myself that I am still in touch. Are the Tories going to lose? Perhaps. Maybe even probably. Have the years under the...
The Cruella bomb will explode if she is shown to have ignored legal advice & lied about it to the house
- 7 Nov 2022
If Suella Braverman explodes it won’t be because of her deeply offensive and inflammatory words about migrants. It won’t be because the government is going to have to have a more realistic policy on filling staff shortages which is crippling growth and closing small businesses...
Allowing Johnson to enter the fray will finally lay the Conservative party to rest. It will die kicking screaming whilst spitting venom & bile. It will not be a good nor honourable death.
- 22 Oct 2022
If any sentient being, which obviously excludes a large proportion of the Conservative party, parrots the view that Boris is the answer, then the question must have been formulated in a padded room swirling with hallucinogenic substances with its authors frothing at the mouth ...
Why I believe that criminal barristers should vote for the offer & go back to work
- 4 Oct 2022
I have been particularly militant over the years about how the Ministry of Justice has let the Criminal Justice System fall apart by wilful neglect and how they have treated the criminal bar with utter contempt. It is not at all surprising that our fees have fallen by at least...
It won’t be long before the Truss Institute of Economic Affairs experiment will fizzle into nothingness
- 3 Oct 2022
THE LADY’S NOT FOR TURNING screamed the Daily Mail in Coming of God headlines after the pound plunged and the markets made a killing. Up until late last night the line was ‘we are doubling down’.But it didn’t take long for madam to throw Laughing Boy under a bus and make a vir...
Arise Sir Mick Lynch. Your rail strike gives the perfect excuse to escape the Birmingham Conservative bloodbath
- 1 Oct 2022
Hold the front page Dacre, I have detected a glimmer of hope for the Conservative Party Conference which will warm the cockles of the hearts of all true blue believers. The rail strike. The perfect excuse for non attendance and failure to worship at the shrine of Saint Liz, sa...
Next week the Conservative Party Conference will be in mourning for an old girl who served them so well. She was called prudence
- 27 Sep 2022
Anyone who trills that this omnishabolic, shitshow of a train wreck Special Fiscal Operation is a ‘true’ Conservative budget really has no grasp of political history. There are three important questions. Will they hold their nerve? How is this going to be paid for? And at what...
Wake up and smell the Coffey. Truss has found a Willy
- 7 Sep 2022
I was pleasantly surprised at Truss’s first outing at PMQs. Of course it’s early days with her and Starmer trying to work out the best way of knocking the shit out of each other whilst giving the aura of statecraft. Starmer has to be careful not to fall into the trap of manspl...
My conversion to Truss. Trigger warning to the politically insane this is a spoof
- 4 Sep 2022
Like so many others I have totally underestimated Liz Truss. For years I have written that, like lettuce (God’s mistake), I have never understood what she is for. I have accused her of being shallow, robotic, not a team player, with a delusional, almost psychotic ambition to b...
