Makes me laugh that she thinks calling Tennant Rich is an insult when Sunnak is literally richer than the King

Withdrawing in Clacton but fighting in Bristol Central, as if we didn't already know what this Labour party stands for now.

Just hedging his chances, if he doesn't win he wins his £8k bet, if he wins then his nose is in the trough at Westminster. It's win/win for him (and lose/lose for the public)

The problem is, there is a demand for them. The parents are choosing to send their kids to these schools knowing what they are.

Personally I would ban all private schools and ensure ALL children went to public school, this would ensure that the kids had a good rounded education, as well as ensure funding was adequate as the rich kids would go there too.

there are too many people

This is the root cause of most of our problems.

Climate change is just a symptom of overshoot.

BrewDog is a marketing company that just happens to sell (bad) beer.

It's astonishing they can be so bad at marketing

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of this. The extreme parties (both left and right) tend to attract the even more extreme to their banner.

The winners have to tread a careful path between placating their members and appealing to the general populace. I think this is one of the reasons why Labour will win, the centre ground is where the leaders of our country should be, people tend to want "normality" what ever that is.

I also think we should have PR instead of FPTP so the extremes at least get a voice in parliament rather than throwing bricks from the sidelines.

I think any car company that ISN'T developing self driving will be left behind

Rivian is developing self driving and with the investment from VW that is likely to be ramped up

We have a traditional compact with voters. They might suspect that we are self-promoting posh boys and money-grabbing wotsits, in politics for no good reasons. But if we are bstards, at least we have been competent bstards, ritually elected to clean up after Labour’s habitually profligate compassion. The last few years have ruined that. Without competency, we are just b*stards.

This quote right here shows that what voters suspect, is in fact true.

As for "Labour’s habitually profligate compassion", oh no! Not compassion!
