A couple of observations on that BB, I’m heartened that immigration is as high up as fourth TBH, and I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if it became front and centre of the campaign as we go through the next six weeks. Lest we forget also Sunak needs to energise the type of voter who care about immigration, no one else.

This is exactly the type of unwavering commitment to that belief that I'm grateful for. Thank you Mr T!

Anyone else finding the ‘over smiley and ever so earnest’ Ed Davey a bit weird and a tad irritating?

Can't take the guy seriously. A true political lightweight.

Meanwhile Reform are really upping the anti by openly making up 'woke' issues. Jinxy must be proud, right up his street this sort of thing.

See 2 Tory councillors donned high vis and mingled with McVities workers in order to ask Sunak some questions. Excellent questions, apparently, to which he had answers.

Yep...That set up really took the biscuit...

What members club serves up breakfast that looks that bad. I've often moaned about HoC having cheap bars and food, but this looks worse than a school canteen.

See post 300, which also has a question for you not to answer

A government for all the people then. I have always maintained that your definition of democracy is so far removed from mine that its not worth arguing about

Eh?
Why would either of us want a government that believes in the stuff that the other wanted?
You get that in democracies politics is by definition adversarial?
Democracy is about accepting (with grace) that our own personal world view is not always the majority view.
A concept that you obviously struggle with.
