Morning all.

So, politics still a complete clusterfuck on all sides?

Yep, thought so...everywhere one looks, the future looks horrible.

Watson actually did meet her in the end, and didn't bring up the stuff he claims to be so concerned about.

Seriously, how can he - or anybody - defend his behaviour in the light of that?

Yes, two results that very much confirm the current poll picture of the "big two" being somewhat out of favour.

Constance is lying down because the thought of your underarms and bottom have proved too much for her to contemplate. After reducing the ukelele to matchsticks.

Two local council byelections yesterday:

Herefordshire - a hold for the localist Its Our County grouping with over 60% of the vote, compared with just under half in May's election when the winner was almost immediately declared ineligible - though that was itself an advance on the original 2015 election with these boundaries, when IOC narrowly won over a Tory candidate likely boosted by a GE-level turnout. Two months ago, the Tories dropped to fourth - second place was taken by UKIP in one of their better performances then, which makes it stranger they absented themselves now; in their absence the LibDems advanced by 10 points to take a decent second, but the Tory decline continued as they finished third and last with 11%.

East Riding of Yorkshire - LibDem gain from Tory with over 40 per cent of the vote in a three member ward where they had last stood in 2007 when they managed a decent runners up spot after 2003 (the first election on present boundaries) when Independents had been the main challengers; in 2011 there was another Tory clean sweep before UKIP took a seat in 2015 - but two months ago they did not even stand and the Tories defeated a single Labour opponent by comfortably over 70-30. There was rather more electoral choice now and a rather different result too - the Tory vote plummeting by close to 45 per cent. The regionalist Yorkshire Party was the best of the rest with 11%, followed by an official UKIP candidate with 6% which meant they beat Labour whose share since May also crashed. The last three places were taken by Independents, the wooden spoon (less than 2%) going to the person who was recently UKIP councillor here for four years.

Six contests next week, including an unusual Tuesday election.

No one seems to have thought of that. Is it feasible?

By the way. I've just watched the Andrew Neil interviews with Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson.

I've no time for either of them, but Boris Johnson really has no grasp (or even a vague idea) of detail. What a lovable and hilarious scamp he is, though.

Beyond any doubt at least some of the recounting of incidents in Panorama is fabricated)elaborated to the point of being an unrecognisable reasonable interpretation of events to an impartial viewer/listener ,this is not news to me,having been present during the "Militant"years,many myths still retainiwhich simply didn't happen.This time there is recorded evidence to such fabrications.

So you don't have to subscribe to the "hatchet job"view to question as to how such programmes aid in any way dealing with a problem given the misrepresentations,rather than making it more difficult.

I would argue that the very same conspiratorial,confirmation bias ,wilful ignorance of inconvenient evidential facts,generalisations, a "set"view according to a childish simplism are no less absent among those who so attribute to others.

Cartoon like misrepresentations are fine with cartoons,not with real life.
