  1. It’s very revealing as to what their thinking is.

    Politically, it really doesn’t matter if it’s 57 or 157.

    But they seem to be thinking we should be concerned for the fate of all those ex-Tory-MPs cruelly forced to find another job.

    Since they don’t care about us, why should we care about them?

  2. The level of desperation at the Telegraph is something to behold. They even have Janet Daley now writing pro Sunak puff pieces.

    Their other stunt is to suggest that Lady Starmer is being lockec in the cellar at home in case she comes out as too feisty.

    Guido keeps hinting stuff as is his way. There might be something to feist about?

  4. A vote for the Conservatives will squeeze the 2nd best party in many constituencies and just let Labour in.

    To facilitate the complete eradication of the Conservative (sic) party. After which we’ll need salt and a plough. And then some way of eradicating the others too…

    If there were a button that could be pressed that would prevent the whole lot of ’em being dropped into a bottomless pit, how many here would press it?

  6. So I undertand it. She’s Jewish. Which ain’t a great thing to be give left wing politics these days. There’s some amount of shouting at her. Then there’s the worry that by emphasising her that’ll get the left shouting at Starmer even more.

    That it should come to this is vile. But that’s the British left for you.

    Guido also recently keeps highlighting the rumour doing the rounds of the media about the “unnamed senior labour politician” that fathered a bastard while his wife was pregnant. This morning’s story about Mrs Starmer made me wonder if I am supposed to put 2 and 2 together.

    I noticed that little juxtapositioning of stories too. Of course if it was a ‘senior Tory’ who had been playing away from home I’m sure the media would have been just as sensitive and accommodating…………..

    Given the amount of anti-semites posing as anti-zionists in Labour, you can imagine Sir Kneels-a-lot’s reluctance to put his wife up as a target for Labour mob.

    There was me thinking it was the old story about the “senior Labour politician” and the “lefty TV presenter” who didn’t know which one of them had father their shared mistress’ bastard. Then again, that was back in the last Labour government.

    Is there an injunction? or is it one of those double, super-secret injunctions?

  10. Also, in a current poll being reported by the DT:

    “A quarter of those who voted Conservative in 2019 say the party deserves to lose all its seats at the general election, polling has found.

    Nearly half of all voters also think Rishi Sunak’s party deserves to be totally wiped out, meaning a recent pivot by the Tories to flag the dangers of a Labour super-majority may not be as effective a strategy as they would hope.”

    A full quarter of 2019 Tory voters? That has to be a smaller percentage than just those Tory voters who now won’t vote Tory this time round? Three weeks to go….

    Isn’t that the story of unlikely lothario David Blunkett and the lady from the Spectator ?
    That’s been in the public domain for a while. There was even a pretty funny TV play about it.

  12. Some number of Labour voters oop North had switched to UKIP by 2015, narrowing Labour constituency majorities.

    2017 is screwy, but given general chaos in the house until 2019, some number of those new UKIP voters switched to the Conservatives. Maybe some switched directly at that point.

    Given Starmer might be somewhat disliked, then encouraging the same switching to Reform, now that Big Nige is back in the running, might, might, possibly, give some number of Reform MPs oop North, maybe opening the door to a Reform / Conservative alliance, although that’s highly dependent and more likely in Opposition.

  13. Flemish Steph

    OK I tried searching but the closest I could get was a reference to mastitis in Flemish dairy cattle. Hardly cause for a political scandal. A clue, please, anybody?

  14. @asiaseen: “Down with the French-speaking Walloons and Freedom for Flanders, that’s what I say!”

  15. “A Song of Reproduction” seems apt. Definitely not “The Hippopotamus Song” thanks, Otto!
