It's time the REMAINERS came out fighting. Send for Major
- 12 Nov 2015
The out campaign have got themselves in a bit of a mess again. Still warring over who is to be their public face with Fromage hissing and spitting like a cornered cat and Aaron Banks as swaggeringly arrogant as he is deeply unpleasant, a complex intellectual conundrum is confo...
Goodbye Charlie. The nation loved you, your party shafted you and your voters destroyed you
- 3 Nov 2015
I have just been to pay my respects to my dear old friend Charlie Kennedy at St Georges Cathedral in Southwark. Built to the glory of God and an homage to Rastafarian mock gothic. The good, the great and the not so great joined hands to see the great man off. There was a delig...
This is not a constitutional crisis just the lords blowing a pungent fart in the direction of the Commons
- 28 Oct 2015
I have a horrible sinking feeling that the Tories are about to fuck up again. No, not about tax credits. There was always going to be a tweaking to assist the poorest. What amazed me was that like the omnishambles budget of 2012 nobody seemed to see this one coming. Mixed sign...
Oh Heidi Allen your heart is in the right place, but don't become the Great Tory Baked Off
- 20 Oct 2015
Oh Heidi Allen. Your heart is in exactly the right place but please put your brain into gear! Let me give you some advice as someone who was a serial rebel against some of Margaret Thatcher’s rather more dangerous policies. You are new, you are bright, you are enthusiastic and...
Another nail in Grayling's coffin. The solicitors bidding process was a shambles and will be judicially reviewed
- 19 Oct 2015
Oh dear, I should be jumping for joy that another flagship policy of the Ghastly Grayling has bitten the dust. But his total incompetence in handling the bidding process for the new two tier system of awarding contracts to solicitors is going to lead to a lot of heartache for ...
The sky is black with Grayling turkeys coming home to roost. Mercifully Gove is reloading his shotgun
- 14 Oct 2015
Once again I am pleased to doff my hat to Michael Gove. While the sky is black with Grayling turkeys coming home to roost, Gove stands in the barren wasteland of the MOJ with his shotgun. The poor fellow hardly has time to reload. Book ban on prisoners? Bang, squawk, thud. Vil...
May was unwise to explode a suicide jacket in her speech whilst Boris is Wassererfing his way to mischief
- 7 Oct 2015
As Boris wasserwerfered his way to the podium he must have been feeling more than a little pleased. The mushroom cloud of Theresa May’s leadership hopes still hung in the air. It was a terrible and deadly explosion. Just why she thought it was a great idea to wear a suicide ve...
The Brexiteers are acrimoniously divided with a psychodrama between Banks & Cummings. The sort of people you would normally lock in an attic
- 3 Oct 2015
The Conservative party conference in Manchester will no doubt be slammed by the media as being far too stage managed and lacking the fizz of real debate at Labour’s wake. Actually the fizz was more like the fizzle of Corbyn’s rocket failing to take off. Both the Lib Dem and La...
Corbyn is effective in pootering around like a politics professor but sometime he will have to answer the question,'do you know what is being done in your name'?
- 27 Sep 2015
I have warned from the outset just how dangerous Jeremy Corbyn could be to the Tories. And his appearance on Marr today should have the alarm bells ringing at Number 10. Some of you will now be shaking your head in despair and and sadly conclude that I have finally lost my mar...
This conference may be not too much of a car crash for Corbyn that will be next year after the left have organised
- 25 Sep 2015
The golden rule in politics is when you expect a car crash it rarely happens. It’s the unexpected unexpected that tends to screw things up. You can have wonderfully crafted and media friendly speeches drowned out by some junior minister caught with his knob out at the train st...
