The Tory fibs and fabrishications thread, Mk III
Kemi Bad Enoch has managed the unlikely achievement of hitting a new low. She has attacked a Labour candidate for supporting Brianna Ghey’s parents in their attempt to have her recognised as female on her death certificate.

UK General Election 2024
One of the many problems faced by the outgoing government has been the number of MPs who have been a total embarrassment. It is not surprising that Starmer, who will face a far more hostile press than the succession of Tory PMs, wants to avoid similar embarrassment.

OPINION POLLS 2019-2024
A poll showing how effective tactical voting can be might encourage people to do exactly that. One of the reasons Portillo lost in 1997 is that the Observer published a poll the weekend before the election that showed that Labour could win the seat. That was the headline, but it included a lot of other Tory-held seats which suddenly became very vulnerable.

How far are you from a marginal seat? If there is nowhere reasonably close to send activists, they will be encouraged to work in your constituency.

UK General Election 2024
I refuse to watch the debates if only two leaders are invited. Meanwhile, Lloyd Russell-Moyle, my MP, has been suspended by the Labour Party which means he can’t be a Labour candidate. We’ll see who the party high command impose as a candidate.

The Tory fibs and fabrishications thread, Mk III
The plan is for it to start in autumn 2025 and would be for 18-yer-olds. Therefore, not a single one of the people on the programme would have voted for it. There is meant to be a "choice" between a year in the armed forces or one weekend a month on "voluntary" community service. This must be a new meaning of the word "voluntary" I was previously unaware of. The Home Secretary, Jimmy Dimly, has said that there will be no criminal sanction for non-compliance. How will that work? Of course, if there is a fine for not taking part, that just means that teenagers from wealthier backgrounds can just buy their way out of it. In other words, it's a scheme for the plebs.

UK General Election 2024
John Redwood and Michael Gove have both joined the long list of Tory MPs who won’t be contesting the election. They, along with Dominic Raab, represent seats being targeted by the Lib Dems. That’s three potential Portillo moments gone.

UK General Election 2024
Tactical voting can happen without a formal pact. Voters can see for themselves who is best placed to defeat Tory MPs and opposition parties will concentrate their efforts on seats they can win. In my home county of Sussex (East and West), Labour will ignore Lewes and Eastbourne while the Lib Dems will do nothing in Crawley.

I know all the bands and have seen half of them live. I don’t recognise all the song titles though.

Doctor Who • Boom
This episode was easily the best of the three so far. It was also the one that relied most heavily on a good script rather than Disney-financed special effects.

The first music from the new album is expected to be unveiled in the middle of June. We should find out the theme of the album at the same time. I'm going for the periodic table.
