I’m clearly in the minority, but I think he’s an ok prime minister. There are so many ways we could have a worse PM. Same with government in general really.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?

02104-25 Fraser v Telegraph.co.uk - IPSO Ian Fraser complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation that Telegraph.co.uk breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors’ Code of Practice in an article headlined “We earn £345k, but soa...

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

And just on the maths, if the biggest party last time have projected vote share down by 18%, and you who had a smaller share last time only predicted to go up by 9%, that means a lot votes going to someone who’s not you! If you are going to make an argument it needs to be better than this!!

My pledge to not vote for any party that uses shit graphs is starting to look a bit limiting.

Green’s just missing off Lib Dem’s is a particularly odd decision. Gives impression they think we’re not very bright!

It does come across as saying-someone not very well to do, came and walked down a street in my very well to do area. And how dare they!. I’m not sure Nadhim is quite the man of the people anymore.

It must be nearly time for Yorkshire Water to bring in next hosepipe ban.

It does seem an open door / lid policy currently. The bin juice of the Tory party flowing freely…

Is your point that if DC had done this it could have spared the country one of the most damaging, corrosive Uk PMs Or that it would have been unfair/democratic to have stopped him?
