Good to see Ben Bradshaw voting with the Tory rebels last night. Didn't think he had it in him.

Read that yesterday. It's true to say Labour are in a right mess, but they have been for a long time now. If they can't hold Batley with its significant Muslim population there, then outside of any city, what can it hold?

Murmurings of the by-election in Chesham being closer than you'd think between the Lib Dems and the Conservatives.

Better get busy on Betfair then:

Tories at 1/6
LDs at 7/2

Incidentally, odds swinging Labour's way for Batley, albeit slightly.

"And he went on to call Hancock, “the brilliant, the one and only successful genius who has been running health over the last 15 months”, adding that “he has done so much to make not only the country but the world safer”.

You gotta smile at Rees-Mogg's sense of humour. I'm actually warming to the bloke.

Edwin Poots falls on his sword in Norn Iron after only a few weeks as leader of the DUP

Naughtiness detected or what ?

Poots resigns as leader of the DUP after just 5 weeks in charge, Something to do with the DUP not wanting him to accept bi-language being used officially I think.

I’m saying it may get the Tory vote under 50% for the first time ever. Not that the Lib Dem’s will win!
