Seen as desperate from the Left; seen as welcome and long overdue from the Right.
What about the centrists and the waverers?

Of course we all know the MSM are laughably out of touch over the Downing Street parties, and the "people" don't actually care

What amazes me with the Polls recently (Even though means nothing mid-term) The Lib Dems have still not cut into the centre ground, On here we hear about how the UK public don't like the "Lefties" etc and the times Ive seen Corbyn's name come up (Even though he's been a back bencher for nearly two years) The Lib Dems are still so far off the pace, Just seems they are the ones that need to do a lot of work.

Interesting source of opposition against the government's Election Bill.

You don't think the government want a polarised duopoly? It's fairly clear that the UK wants to run itself in a similar way to the US, now as it's free from the shackles of the EU. You have good guys and bad guys that way. When in real life none of them are good at all and it's just a cosy distraction from the real issue, which is having a real change in parliament.

Even by the standards of the last few weeks, this is a pretty remarkable piece when you consider the author, Tom Bower is an ally of the PM's.

it would seem Johnston and his team are now spinning against Johnston's wife – essentially, it's all her fault. More convinced than ever this ain't gonna end well.FJOol-GWUAEaHJG.jpeg

It is and will always be someone else's fault.

So, a Downing Street source is backing Dominic Cummings' version of events – that's to say, the PM knew full well it was a party.

And, just to add to the fun, Cummings reveals there are more photos [yet to come out] of more events at Downing Street.

Deary, deary me.
