Max how is the Campaign to get Richy re-elected going? I think perhaps you are gonna have to try even harder. God how I hate Tories & the subterfuge they are prepared to use. But you are gonna have to choose a better place than a Mickey Mouse Orient chat site for your machinations.

Dunnem's relentless attacks on the Green Party now makes sense.

The best Grant Shapps can do, is raise Tory concerns about a Labour Supermajority! This after 14 years of running the UK in to the ground. Amazing stuff.

Instead of trying to compete with each other with pledges to make things better - can the parties explain why we got into the mess we appear to be in? ie admit to mistakes that have been made. Plenty to choose from.

After doing that they could explain exactly what life will be like for specific sections of society under the iron heel of the Xtreme Centerist neo liberalism that they all advocate.

Of course they can't explain either the past or the future honestly because that would mean lifting the veil and exposing the red in tooth and claw rampant capitalism we live in. And how in truth it no longer needs democracy as an adjunct to making its profits.

It never needed democracy for that. Only fools believed it did

It's good to know that if you go without Sky TV, you can send your child to a public school

Absolutely, how pathetic was that comment by Sunak….

I see that (Dame?) Andrea Jenkyns has left Sunak’s image out of her campaign leaflet and used a photo of Farage instead…
