Remember the talk of "bringing back the grey men", the boring John Major breed of politician? We've more or less got that. Be careful what you wish for, I suppose.

In retrospect, I think Major had more humanity than most of the current crop of weird robot-people. I'm not sure I can really justify that, though, but it seems true somehow.

But you know there are millions of nutters who'd have Totes Ledge Bants Shagger Johnson back in charge in a heartbeat.

Laura Kuenssberg has made a series with talking heads talking about the "State of Chaos" in UKGov 2017-22, involving interviews with Tories and Civil servants and Hillary Benn.

I just realized that Hillary Benn is almost a spoonerism of Benny Hill.

Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire by-elections 'one of worst nights any government has endured'

Polling expert Prof Sir John Curtice says the results corroborate the message that the Tories are in electoral trouble.
www.bbc.com

The results from Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire represent one of the worst by-election nights that any government has had to endure.
In Tamworth, the 23.9% swing from Conservative to Labour was the second highest in post-war by-election history. No government has previously lost so safe a seat - the Conservatives had a 42% majority in 2019 - to the principal opposition party in a by-election contest.
In Mid-Bedfordshire it was a little lower, 20.5%. However, the Conservatives' own share of the vote fell by even more than in Tamworth. Indeed, the 28.7 point drop in Mid-Bedfordshire was the sixth biggest fall in Tory support in the post-war period.

Daily Mail/Skwawkbox writers already bashing out their "Disappointment for Starmer as Tories still get some votes..." articles, no doubt.

Seen it before, but you deserve a like for reminding me. I don't know whether I like that one best, or the one where he spuriously claims to have "working-class friends" and then immediately corrects himself as he realises nobody is going to buy a whopper of that magnitude for half a second.

How about when he helped out at a soup kitchen and asked a homeless guy whether he was considering getting into finance?

Oh god, I'd forgotten that too! That one's even better! The man is a comedy genius. Literally unparodyable when the originals are so good.
