Good morning.




What could possibly go wrong?

Already being compared with the Graham Taylor effort - was it really close to three decades ago?

There has to be a scene with him eating a bacon sandwich or I'm not interested.

Good morning.

How interesting...

Looks like the bus has rolled on after having fishermen underneath it and has farmers in its sights.

I love the logical way - as you would expect from a lawyer - that this builds...

Good morning.

I'm not sure a fly-on-the-wall doc is the best answer (Corbyn's was pretty detrimental) but it's certainly true he hasn't had the usual opportunities to make an impression due to the covid situation, in particular we haven't had any really big live conference speeches.
I suppose the question is whether there's a more personable and dynamic side to his personality we haven't seen yet, otherwise I can't seeing it make much difference.
I also think Labour's problem isn't just about the leader, it's the team about him, none of his shadow appointments have made much impression. And the shuffle isn't looking much better. If Reeves really is your best choice for shadow chancellor, it suggests a serious lack of heart and talent at the centre of the Labour party.

[AnatolyKasparov]

Still think he gave in to media nagging as far as Reeves being made SC is concerned (for some reason, lots of them think she is good)

[refitman]

This is good, on why there hasn't been as much charity events for Gaza, as there has for other things.

I remember the days when you could leave comments on Spiked article.

No Spiked contributors ever answered them nor do they on Tweets. Ever.

But then I noticed a few months ago that the facility for leaving comments under articles had been removed.

And so, the logical outcome...
