@me the “ringleader” is a surely anagram proof Robyn Woof

Unhealed fatal mum in mix up - film not currently being shown (5,5,6).

“Rishi Sunak vows to stop illegal migrants who ‘cheat’ to reach UK”.

This honestly makes zero sense. So they can manage to be illegal but not cheat?

Well he should know….. (allegedly)

Anyway, promoted me to check the party has the correct email address. I vaguely recall a problem with it a few years ago….

I actually got off my arse and went to the hustings and vote for the selection to be Labour candidate in Colne Valley.

Sadly, I couldn’t get in because you had to register and I never got an email about it

Snow forecast here but none yet…..

Deranged weak straw king says he “got carried away” (5,8).

But my word Croatia in last chance saloon!

A forgettable Friday after a vibrant and very long Thursday on here. Maybe just start the weekend thread now?

Morning!

In the US, the Theranos saga draws to a close with former President of the company ‘Sunny’ Balwani sentenced to 13 years for defrauding investors with bogus science. He follows Elizabeth Holmes on their way to prison.

What a story.

Udder shambles - crazy parliamentary device being used to force vote on Mone affair (6,7).

Hello mice men!

Zahawi on with the same kind of narrative this morning. If you go on strike you’re playing into Putin’s hands.

I mean how fucked up is that logic?

I assume he’s still trying to associate Russia with communism?

Thanks Sky

Starmer’s response of trickle down education doesn’t work was pretty good.

Another Tunbridge Wells moment for Sunak at PMQs as he appears to suggest parents sending kids to state schools lack aspiration.

On the lack of posts, I do think one thing Sunak has partly succeeded in is calming down the media circus. Where Truss clearly courted it, I think Sunak would prefer the day to go by without being on TV. Hunt is good at the same and maybe he’s slipping something in Braverman’s tea!

Thurrock Council reports the largest ever Council finance “black hole”.

I’m expecting Roger to be shocked etc

Blind diva maid confusingly blames Brexit (5,8).

Helen Joyce’s views are some of the least pleasant I’ve heard this year. Among strong competition!

Adenoid rinser crazily suggests Partygate probe is invalid (6,7).

@refitman

It’s like the thrill of the chase isn’t it? They sense they’re winning (for now) and stop asking themselves what the poor fox has done to deserve being hunted in the first place.

On the JK Rowling thing from yesterday, what is certainly the case is that the “gender critical” community are growing in confidence at a quite worrying rate. I follow a couple of people on Twitter that I noticed a few years back on other topics and enjoyed their feed. Now I get endless retweets of ...

Good to see Baroness Mone isn’t being let off the hook just yet!

Hello mice men!

@roger some good interpretation of those immigration stats from Jonathan Portes

Thanks Gilsey

That was a Tweet from someone called Dave that I loved. Frog I thought your ? was bafflement at my anagram

‘Michael Gove reduced to a blubbering wreck by Nick Robinson with the deadly question “what are the benefits of Brexit?” 🫠 #r4today’

Hello mice men! Deranged Baroness scams £29 million of PPE profits (8,4).

And good for Tim Loughton holding the vile Braverman to account

@gilsey thanks - more anagrams then

Ok enough spam from me. Have a good day all

Flailing dim Lester is trying to defend Sunak using private healthcare (3,6).

This headline made me chuckle

“Danish Crown to build £100m gammon plant in UK despite Brexit red tape”

Mick Lynch is saying that the train operators have told him that the government are interfering and telling them not to offer a deal

Oh and good morning!

Looks like nice work

Morning!

Busy weekend - enjoyed catching up on everyone’s posts

Hi All

I seem to be skulking back from Twitter

Hi All some great posts here this weekend!

I’m currently chuckling at “awkward” facts for Starmer and Lammy, who, despite saying grown up politicians don’t join picket lines, clearly thought differently when pictured with the University UCU strikes three years ago

Hi Guys

Say what you like about Sophie Corcoran she gives some great anagrams. Choose your favourite:

Corsica nohoper
carrion pooches
cheap corrosion
chop coronaries
cicero harpoons
coercion pharos
corrosion peach
Horace scorpion
Paco rhinoceros

It’s been too long. Hope everyone is ok.

The above is completely unsubstantiated btw, but I liked the anagram

Crazy cheery toffees may resign? (7,6)

@ak

I know you explicitly said there was no equivalence, but perhaps the Jews who stayed in Labour mainly believed (rightly I think) that Corbyn supported them.

Muslims surely know that Johnson has, let’s say, questionable views on Muslims. There is clear evidence of this.

Apparently if you add all the trucks in the lorry parks to the queue at Dover it would stretch back nearly to London!
