Tory Landslide


Tory majority of 80.
 
As Boris has correctly said this morning, people have lent the Tories their vote. It is important that the Tories do not forget that.

Labour now need to sort themselves out, to become a credible opposition that the country deserves and needs.

Corbyn's "Bombshell" Turns From Damp Squid To Car Crash

It would seem that Corbyn's "dramatic" Q&A session on the 450 pages of unredacted US/UK discussions is turning into a car crash.

Bombshell or Damp Squid?

Irrespective of the veracity, or otherwise, of Corbyn's unredacted documents; how is it physically possible to "sell" the NHS?

The NHS doesn't make anything, why on earth would anyone want to buy it?

Cyber Attack On Labour - Allegedly


Farage Partially Stands Aside


Farage confirmed his Brexit candidates would not stand in the 317 seats won by the Tories at the last election.

However, he is publicly claiming that Brexit will stand in Labour seats, which will of course split the Tory vote and damage their chances of taking them from Labour.

Currently Farage is demanding that the Tories stand aside in these seats. Given that will clearly not happen, it is hoped that he will back down further and not stand in all Labour seats.

Farage Bottles It and Leads From The Rear


Having threatened to field 500 BXP candidates in the general election (which will split the Tory vote and usher in Corbyn) Farage decided not to stand himself.

It is a tad unusual for a leader of an alleged political party to not stand for election.

So what's going on here?

1 Farage has stood for parliament 7 times, and lost on each occasion. He knows he has FA chance of being elected.

2 He wants to keep his radio show, standing will mean he would not be on air as much as his ego wants.

3 Splitting the Tory vote will ensure Corbyn wins and that Brexit never happens. This split esnures that Farage stays on the EU gravy train as an MEP, it also ensures he can continue to publicly call for the UK to leave the EU.

In short, Farage's "policy" is based on greed and ego.

General Election 12th December


After much unnecessary shenanigans, and changes of direction by various people and parties, Boris has got the election he desires for 12th December.

It will be a brutal battle, and Boris should be aware of the old adage be careful what you wish for.

Whatever the result, the UK will have a new government in place on Friday 13th December!

Election On

The Bill


The On/Off Election


The government failed to get a 2/3rds majority for a 12 December election last night.

Therefore today they are trying a again with a one line bill that just needs a simple majority.

Currently the dimwits in Parliament are arguing about whether it should be on the 9th, 11th or 12th.

Meanwhile the country continues to stagnate!

Government To Go On Strike


Boris has decided that enough is enough, and has stated that he will try to call a general election for 12 December.

Unfortunately for him, there is one very large fly in his ointment; namely the Fixed Term Parliament Act (an absurd piece of legislation from the days of the Liberal/Tory coalition).

Under this act, the government needs a 2/3rds majority in order to be able to call a general election.

Can you guess what will happen children?

Yes, that's right, Labour will not vote for it next week.

What will happen then?

It seems that the government will go on strike, and do only the bare minimum (the Budget has already been pulled).

We really are through the looking glass here.

The Minimum Wage - The Curate's Egg

Raising the minimum wage will increase the take home pay of those employed at the current minimum wage, if they keep their jobs.

The downsides are:

1 It increases the costs of the firms that employ people on minimum wages.

2 It increases the likelihood that staff will be laid off, in order to reduce increased costs.

3 Increased costs may well be passed on to the consumer.

The "Coups" That Never Were


My word Westminster is really "spoiling" us, not content with giving us the "coup" of prorogation we now have the "constitutional coup" of non prorogation.

To be clear to the politicians and members of the media who have used the word "coup" to describe one or other of these events, neither was a "coup".

Get real!

The "Coup" That Never Was - Boris To Call An Election


There has been much frothing of the mouth and general hysteria, both in cyberspace and in real life, about the recent prorogation of Parliament. Certain people, who should know better, would have us believe it was a coup.

Anyhoo, disregarding that hysterical nonsense, Boris has now shot that fox by stating the he will be tabling a motion today to call a general election.

Factoid: it can't be a coup if a general election takes place!

One amusing irony is that Corbyn (who called people to take to the streets to protest against the "coup") is now balking at the thought of a general election; and insists that legislation is first passed to guarantee that a no deal Brexit is blocked, before he will back an election.

The Queen's Speech October 14 - Well Then!

 
Nothing unusual here, except that in order for the Queen's Speech (ie the opening of a new parliament) to be held, the current parliament must be prorogued.

By happenstance, this gives the Brexit "rebel alliance" little time for mischief making.

I predict a wee bit of a row over this :)

Corbyn Applies For The Job of PM

Does he not understand that if he wins a vote of no confidence, Boris doesn't have to resign as PM and can call an election on his terms?

Another small point, there is no way even the most rebellious Tory rebels will side with him if he insists on being leader.

A cynic might suggest that Corbyn is deliberately ensuring that we leave with no deal.

This is of course delusional nonsense. 

Any vote of no confidence can be ignored by the PM, as he doesn't have to resign. He can then call a general election after 31 October, or indeed before, as Brexit is set to happen without the further approval of parliament. 

Ironically, had these idiots voted for May's deal they wouldn't be facing this now. 

Parliament brought this upon itself!

Campbell Nukes Corbyn


Alistair Campbell, the former No 10 director of communications under Tony Blair, has said he no longer wishes to be a Labour member, warning that Jeremy Corbyn is poised to lose the next election against Boris Johnson and destroy the party “as a political force capable of winning power”.

In a letter to Corbyn, quoted by the Guardian, he said:
The culture you have helped to create has made the party one that I feel no longer truly represents my values, or the hopes I have for Britain.

I see no strategy in place that remotely meets the electoral or policy challenges ahead. On the contrary, in so far as I ascertain a strategy at all, it is one that looks more designed to lose. I fear the country may already have decided that it does not intend to make you prime minister.”
This is designed to push Labour to realise that it must ditch Corbyn for its sake, and the sake of the country. All very well and good. However, as long as the infection known as Momentum holds sway Corbyn will not be moved.

Is Boris Trying To Emulate Prince Hal?



I know you all, and will awhile uphold
The unyoked humour of your idleness.
Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work;
But when they seldom come, they wished-for come,
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
So, when this loose behaviour I throw off
And pay the debt I never promisèd,
By how much better than my word I am,
By so much shall I falsify men’s hopes;
And like bright metal on a sullen ground,
My reformation, glitt’ring o’er my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
I’ll so offend to make offence a skill,
Redeeming time when men think least I will.

Boris's Kingdom of Dust


As Boris waits in the wings on the cusp of being crowned king of the Tories and PM, his enemies are waiting to pounce, indeed one (Duncan) tried a pounce yesterday but was rebuffed by The Speaker who pointed out it was for the opposition to call for votes of no confidence, not MPs in the same party!

Thus Boris's enemies are not facing him on the benches opposite, but will be sitting behind him.

Where does this leave Boris and the country?

We will face a general election before October, as his own party will conspire to bring him down.

Westminster's Bullying Culture

As per the report into bullying and harassment of MP's parliamentary staff by Gemma White QC:
"Some staff of Members of Parliament are subject to an unacceptable risk of bullying and harassment, including sexual harassment, at work. Most Members of Parliament treat their staff with dignity and respect but the problem of bullying and harassment is sufficiently widespread to require an urgent collective response."

“I just want to say that during my over-30-years’ association with the Houses of Parliament I did not encounter anything remotely like bullying and harassment on anyone’s part and have been very surprised to know it has happened.The MP I worked for I found extremely efficient, clever and a good employer in every way.”

#CableGate - Kim Resigns, Boris Blamed and May Seeks To Poison The Well


Well it was all go yesterday Kim Darroch resigned and the media (as is their style) decided it was all Boris's fault.

Well whilst he didn't exactly give fulsome backing to Darroch, Darroch's position was untenable given that Trump had banned him from all future functions. My advice to the media is that whilst it is clear most of you loath Boris, you really ought to try grasp the fact that the enemy in this particular case is not Boris but the person who leaked the cables.

In the meantime, never one to miss an opportunity to poison the well it seems that Theresa May is seeking to appoint Darroch's successor!

Trump Severs Diplomatic Relations With Britain - #CableGate


In a busy couple of Tweets, responding to #CableGate, President Trump lambasted Theresa May and her handling of Brexit and then for good measure severed diplomatic relations with Britain....and it was only Monday!


I wonder what the rest of the week holds for us?

Wrt #CableGate the government is now looking at a hostile foreign power as being the cause of the leak, maybe so, or maybe look to the the list of other suspects I compiled yesterday (including Trump himself)!

The media is now asking how a future Prime Minister should handle Trump. The answer is simple, apply the Disraeli technique he used with royalty, namely applying flattery with a trowel. It works for Kim Jong-un, it most certainly should work for Boris!
