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.I remember us talking about "bringing back the grey men" a while back, the boring, John Major-esque breed of politician, and we've more or less got that. Be careful what you wish for, I guess.
Café del Mar, for sure.You know there's gonna be some David Gray and Dido in there from back in his wild uni days
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.
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.
still the best rishi sunak clip imo. starts off managing to come across to the kids as vaguely affable with a cheesy but passable joke but then it just goes on and unbearably on and ends up at full accidental partridge status. feels a lot longer than a 1 minute clip lol
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.
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.How about when he helped out at a soup kitchen and asked a homeless guy whether he was considering getting into finance?
