Because a) Sunak does not know what happens in pubs b) the people who advise him drink far too much alcohol and so don't understand anything else.

Fair points @Thingscanonlygetsunk

Is it a bit like when the food secretary made his daughter eat a beef burger in the midst of the BSE scandal to 'prove' it wasn't real?

And Johnson shaking hands with covid patients.

We all know how well that worked out for him

I wasn’t even a massive fan of Angela Rayner, but every time she bobs back up from the smears and lies I hear triumphant strains of I’m Still Standing 🎶🎶 and I like her just that little bit more.

Me too @Saucery - she's gone right up in my estimation.

I've revised my idea and now think it was the pub landlord on a bet from the locals to see if he will drink it.

Anyway, it’s given me a flashback to working behind the bar in a Conservative Club and the old boys saying Not a LADY’S glass, a PROPER GLASS.
So, thanks a bundle, Rishi

I'm going to bump my own post 😬

HuffPost picks up on the Mumsnet word cloud

@Tobee MNHQ posted it on Twitter

Same here.

Ah right @Evenstar ! I always find it intriguing, and sometimes disturbing, the media opinion of Mumsnet.

I posted the word cloud picture earlier, quite something

Paul Waugh has been selected as Rochdale Labour candidate

👀 yep
True

Ooh that's good. I think.

Yes, me too

Looks like someone was told to stand in front of the eye rolling lady https://x.com/simondale11/status/1795925517717151765?s=61&t=xKCXjKa1-S6Ks0nSd_LXGg

Yes, it's clear from the way he checked his phone before sidling in front of her.

So they have men on standby to block the public eye rolling 🙄 the PM.

I imagine they need a lot of them.

Just spotted my MP in that clip I think I know where they are. If I see eye rolling lady around town I’m giving her a high five.

Yes, that's a proper Man's Pint Glass. Unfortunately, in RS's hands it looks disproportionately large. He'd fit in it quite nicely.

This just caught my eye.

That's brilliant @BIossomtoes

I really hope it’s true.

I've just seen Diane Abbott on tv. She doesn't look very well. I can't believe Labour has been short-sightedly stupid enough to screw up so comprehensively over this matter, everyone involved in it should be ashamed of themselves. A gift to the Tories. Give the woman her due, she's more than earned it.

Sadly there is some very tough calculating to be done.

Forget how things "look". The only questions are either:

"Will this prevent a voter in <insert somewhere in the red wall> putting an "X" in the Labour box ?"

or

"Will this gain us many votes in <again insert somewhere that isn't London> that we otherwise would nit have gained ?"

At this stage of the game, nothing else matters.
