Liz Truss has been given an unfair monstering. Give her a chance.
- 21 Jul 2016
Now that I have had time to calm down after the reshuffle and reflect, I am far more optimistic. David Davis as a former minister for Europe under John Major is a sensible choice to lead us out of the EU. He will work well with Liam Fox who fought an honourable Brexit war. And...
Britain is really a Truman Show social experiment for the Chinese. But who is real and who is an actor?
- 16 Jul 2016
I have finally worked out what is really happening. Britain doesn’t have a real government nor a Parliament at all. We have just become part of a Truman Show televisual social experiment for the Chinese. And it is prime time viewing. Deep in a bunker in Bejing legendary produc...
Miss Loathesome's Mars Attack Moment
- 9 Jul 2016
If I had seriously suggested that Donald Trump would be President, Andrea Leadsom Prime Minister and Jeremy Corbyn leader of the Opposition you would have committed me to a place of safety. But in this Munchian period of world affairs our voters are having great fun in putting...
Overnight Andrea Leadsom has become Andrea Loathsome. Her campaign is based on a lie. We need another referendum.
- 3 Jul 2016
Well, I was right about one thing. That Simon Walters would get the best Sunday story, but far more devastating than I could ever imagine. Over night Andrea Leadsom has become Andrea Loathesome. And let me remind you why. The Brexiteers are terrified of Theresa May’s honesty, ...
British politics has become like Titus Andronicus without the jokes
- 1 Jul 2016
British politics has become a cross between Titus Andronicus without the jokes and a Chinese edition of the The Prince where Machiavelli’s sound advice has been lost in translation. The lesson for the Tories is don’t run a leadership campaign from the Oxford Union playbook. An...
Indecisive, weak and without a principled bone in his body. It's time to dump the Chump and vote for May
- 29 Jun 2016
What has been puzzling me for the last day or so is why could a civilised and decent man like Michael Gove possibly support Bozo. Well, there is the question of survival I suppose. And Nick Soames too. As decent an old boy as you will find on a grouse moor. What is this madnes...
The Conservative party will become a nasty intolerant right wing clique. Welcome to a land fit for Neroes
- 25 Jun 2016
What a squalid, contemptible little racket the Conservative Party has become. They have destroyed a good and decent man who was making this country a kinder, gentler and more tolerant place to live. Who had detoxified the brand. Who won elections. Who made us prosperous again....
The Tory Party is being hijacked by the mad right wing. Let 23 June be Independence Day. Let's take back control of the party
- 19 Jun 2016
What a vile, contemptible nasty campaign this has become. While the nation mourns in stunned collective grief with the family of Jo Cox some Brexiteers are moaning that this is somehow unfair to their cause. Just how low can these people sink? Is there nothing sacred, good or ...
Osborne is not threatening if we leave the EU the yuppie gets it. Someone will have to pay for the black hole and it won't be the Mexicans
- 15 Jun 2016
For months George Osborne has been pilloried for not having a contingency plan if we vote to leave the EU. Well now it has been revealed. The IFS produced a report that there would be an enormous black hole in public finances and gave a number of projections. Osborne chose the...
Amber Rudd a star is born. Winkles out!
- 10 Jun 2016
Well, well what an overnight star Amber Rudd has become. To be perfectly honest she has never really crossed my radar before. I vaguely knew that she was in the cabinet and something to do with energy, which goes to show that headline hogging ministers are rarely the most effe...
