She let herself down a bit towards the end, but McVey is so out of her depth

Fwiw, while I appreciate Neils talent, I dont like him much, sadly though, hes probably right about the situation in Israel/Palastine

[Mounts Kipper]

As per usual good northern folk nail the current situation, one lady  (she was brilliant) said if Labour get in power never mind non doms leave the country that she will leave the country, she was followed by chap who was 45 year Tory voter saying he won’t be voting Tory again after this government and the damage this lot have done.  It’s a shit show, but one thing for sure the Tories need to be out of power and reflect on the damage they’ve done.

I’d favour a Labour Liberal pact to curb the Labour excesses, but saying that through gritted teeth.

Because that seems like an entirely sensible position to take. 🤦‍♂️

The centrists who believe in turning over the result of the biggest democratic vote in the history of the UK? No thanks. I'd rather take my chances with the inept red rags. At least you know what to expect and what will inevitably follow their election to government. Many of us have seen it over and over again but they are not stupid enough to try to reverse the referendum result when they know what effect that would have on the so called 'red wall'.

Let them have one term like that cunt Albanese will manage down here.

People always say shit like this, she wouldn't do anything of the sort

You are bang on though, it does show what an utter shit show things are at the minute

Like you, I'd rather a Lab/Lib coalition.....sadly, I can't see it happening

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Lab/lib coalition? Christ no thanks. 

Much rather labour get it on their own, and then the country can make an assessment properly on their performance. As they currently do.

Anyway, Starmer has said no, so it won't happen. Will it?

You seem to always go on about them having 1 term, out of interest, why do you think they would only have a single term in office?

If he needed them to get the top job, he'd go into coalition, rather than try and run with a minority Government I'd have thought

Won’t need to. They’re going to absolutely piss it.

Clearly having an indirect pop at our Gracious and Noble King there as well.

If Bolty had any balls he’d be gathering an army and launching an offensive at Crete by now

I think Bolty only ever had a hard on for the Queen, Charles is probably a bit to "woke" for him, to be fair

He is half Greek so they are probably saying he is going to lay into Rishi. 

[batton carrier]

If the Greeks had put as much effort  into chasing Germany for reparations after 2nd world war as they have chasing us for an old bit of rock ,they wouldn't be half as skint as they are

[Tonge moor green jacket]

A right old muddle these stones.

Just find it a bit difficult to give too much of a toss over them.

Sell them back and have done with it.

Raised a smile that did.

I expect they'll fuck everything up and be booted out after one term. This expectation is based on decades of observing the glaring inadequacies and misguided ideology of socialism.

I have been wrong before. 1973 I think it was.

Very fair and very accurate. Worries me this feller.

Tell yon pie eater I have already given the proprietor of Effie's kebabs a piece of my mind. That'll teach 'em.
