And the prize for analogy of the week goes to @SerendipityJane 😁

They need ?

How times have changed

E2A: I wonder how much Reform are paying Liz Truss not to join.

In fact, the idea of a queue of Tory grifters lining up and rinsing Are Nige for a nice little sum to avoid him having to publicly turn them away is quite pleasing.

Even with a jinnintonicks ?

They need the experience, 30p Lee has been campaigning for the Gorton and Denton by-election in the wrong constituency

You will get deleted on MN

Wait, so he isn’t the politically impartial pollster the BBC has presented him as????!!!!!

Another shocker.

Well if the UK can manage a better deal, it will apply to the EU automatically.

Author and academic to boot

An expert says ...

and ...

Interestingly she didn’t win by the landslide she normally does last local elections and there’s calls for a by election now she’s defected - so I live in hope my neighbours have some sense and credibility left!
