Classic distraction... Nothing to see here, move along.

 

Express on the other hand got the knives out for Sunak, and Braverman started her latest leadership bid in the Telegraph and on Laura K.

anyone seen the braverman interview today, the woman is a fruitcake.

Just watched on iplayer. Her comments on Starmer and Labour were deranged. She's fuming that her plot has collapsed

I think the attacks on her are unfair. Her job is to ask these questions not to give them an easy ride. All the commentary I've read has mentioned the effect of Gaza.

What is particularly interesting Suella is the composition of the your new Fareham and Waterlooville Constituency. Portchester Castle (Lib Dem), Portchester Wicor (Lib Dem), Downend and Wallington (Lib Dem), Fareham Town (Lib Dem), Fort Fareham (Lab) , Southwick and Wickham (Lib Dem), Denmead (Lib Dem)...most wards that returned a Tory are in the new Hamble Valley Constituency.

The viewing public, minimal for programmes like that, remember the end more than the start so starting with the negative likely did Labour  a favour.

It's a leading, well respected news source for politics of all stripes. This guy could be one of them - he stood as a leadership candidate against Rishi and co. Or he could be launching a new leadership bid... hilarious thread, even Ladbrokes are teasing him.

Wow, that is slightly mind-blowing given the two wildly different characters.

We won't hear anything until the crucial number is reached. And, I guess there's a possibility Sunak will be given other options - resign, call election, etc.

The original source is an ex-lobby journalist - he will have many contacts.

 

Ignore re Chisti - turns out he was just bigging himself up re a marriage proposal.
