David Miliband is a gutless little political prick teaser. His day has gone. Time for him to shut up
- 3 Aug 2015
God, David Miliband is an annoying little political prick teaser. Totally gutless, incapable of risk taking, and is desperate be be asked by the Blairites to come and save the Labour Party when Corbyn is defenestrated in 2018. Well, not even the International Rescue Committee ...
Corbyn showed honesty and class on Marr. He is no longer a joke candidate
- 26 Jul 2015
The scales have been lifted from my eyes, my Damascene route to enlightenment has begun. I have become a Corbynite. Of course, his analysis is hopelessly wrong. Of course I could never vote for him. But what shone through on Marr this morning was his total belief in what he sa...
The end of Bercow. And the new blood sport of Boris baiting
- 22 Jul 2015
I am getting rather bored with this ‘will he or won’t he’ Corbyn chatter. Jon Rentoul’s analysis is spot on. He hasn’t a clue what the result will be except that it will be bad for Labour. The Tories only became electable when they exorcised the ghost of Margaret Thatcher and ...
Welcome to Fuckeroo territory
- 17 Jul 2015
I suppose it should not be forgotten that on the same day Jeremy Corbyn confounded his critics and propelled the Labour Party into a death spiral and Tim Farron was elected as Lib Dem leader Disneyland was opened in 1955. All three are interconnected and best summed up by a ...
Now is the time to negotiate with Gove rather than wreck the system
- 11 Jul 2015
The the independent criminal bar has reached a turning point. We have to make critical choices. We can wave it goodbye with a teary handkerchief and cry into our gins as much as genteel poverty will allow. We can strike, withdraw, our Labour, refuse returns and wreck the syste...
Osbornite is the new Kryptonite, it saps the strength of its enemies before killing them
- 10 Jul 2015
Did anyone notice a tiny puff of white smoke briefly lingering over Number 10 Downing Street on Wednesday night? George Osborne’s shamelessly political budget has put him in pole position to succeed David Cameron. It always mystifies me why Chancellors are abused for acting po...
Javid's moment of madness and a Rake's progress
- 1 Jul 2015
What on earth is the matter with our new BIS Secretary that a lie down in a darkened room with a damp towel and a bottle of Valium can’t remedy? Oh, I know, try not to have any contact with serial head banger Dominic Cummings, the Carpet Biter In Chief for the EU separatists....
Is this the beginning of the end of party politics as we know it?
- 14 Jun 2015
I am beginning to wonder whether by the time of the next election British politics will be fundamentally realigned. The laws of political gravity are very clear. Elections are won by parties who offer choices from the centre ground. Tony Blair, John Major and David Cameron und...
Some of us moderate pro Europeans are feeling marginalised and out shouted by a mad cult of Tory seperatists
- 9 Jun 2015
Sometimes I despair at the hopelessness of the Number 10 operation. Will someone please explain what on earth the policy is in relation to whether ministers are allowed to campaign for a British exit from the EU. How on earth can anyone of sound mind believe that a vote on Eur...
The Rampton wing of the Tory party are failing to take their medication with the inevitable results
- 7 Jun 2015
Oh dear, the Rampton Wing of the Tory Party haven’t been taking their medication again, with the inevitable consequences of carpet biting, howling at the moon, frothing at the mouth and causing mischief on the media This weekend we are rather spoilt for choice. John Redwood wa...
