Presumably that’s a message to Russians settled in Britain?

I think that was the final nail in his coffin. Partygate provided a few more.

I think some people don’t know the difference between gravitas and charisma. Charisma on its own is overrated because we end up with clowns like Johnson. Gravitas on its own is not ideal either but it’s far preferable than just having charisma which Johnson had used to good effect over decades...

What’s the excuse for 2010-2020?

Fair enough

gravitas noun dignity, seriousness, or solemnity of manner. Which part of the above definition was on display? I must have missed it!

Which of the last 3 PMs had more gravitas than Starmer? The clown, the lettuce or the rat?

Flying home from hols tomorrow in time to vote. Can I suggest that anyone who hasn’t decided yet not to vote for the party that has fucked the country over for the last 14 years or Farage’s limited company that wants us to be allies with Putin. Vote for anyone else whether it’s Labour, Lib Dems...

I’m basing it on is what I remember from previous elections. Whether I’m right or not depends on whether I remembered correctly. Edit: Looks like I was right. https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-what-time-is-the-exit-poll-published-and-how-reliable-is-it

It’s always within seconds of polls closing. They count them as they go along.

Remind us again why you intend to vote for a party led by a racist with numerous candidates who have been outed as blatant racists over the last couple of weeks.

Having read it, it’s clearly through gritted teeth. Most regular readers of that shite will probably vote for Farage anyway who they say has the best policies but can’t win. Luckily their influence has dwindled since their heyday before the internet.

A good illustration that the Covid excuse doesn’t wash. It hit us harder than most other countries due to the inept handling of it by the government and recovered more weakly than most other countries due to Brexit. The only major outlier that has done worse than us in recent years and that the...

Sad

I’m guessing it’s Farage for you then because he tells it like it is……

Thanks Vic. Seems I might have been right with “most”, but due to being on holiday couldn’t be arsed checking. Wonder why the Tories on here have been trying to downplay the impact?

I think you’re understating the impact of Truss and Kwarteng’s mini budget. It caused interest rates to rise significantly higher than they would have done and although I haven’t seen clear statistics to show whether it’s many or most mortgage holders that were impacted, there’s no doubt it was...

It’s true Major was doing ok from 1993-1997 but people hadn’t forgotten about being screwed in their pockets due to the ERM crisis in 1992, and that was 5 years earlier. This time round, Trussonomics is still having a huge effect on most mortgage holders and that was less than 2 years ago. The...

I wonder if Johnson was working when he used to go on free holidays to Zac Goldsmith’s villa in Marbella. I was going to mention his trips to Lebedev’s parties in Italy but I think he was Foreign Secretary then. There didn’t seem to be much work going on when he was at Downing Street parties...

Headline from one newspaper website. “Jude Bellingham single-handedly saves Three Lions after Man City stars’ no-show” Not even pretending to be fair anymore.
