Glad to hear it. But I didn’t say yours was sound “ consistent judgement.” So don’t do it when there’s low cloud . Good luck

Don’t be daft, Dave. She tried to face down the bond market in a horribly clumsy way and was ousted by her own party. Not a blob in sight. She looks relaxed, you say ? Was she in a padded cell ?
David Atherton@daveatherton
I bump into former PM Liz @trussliz at the @cpac_gb event, looking relaxed. She was so badly stitched up by the Blob for wanting less government and lower taxes.

You seem to be a man of consistent judgement . Is your view of events from Georgia obstructed by Stone Mountain, I wonder ?

No, @afneil , it’s the usual politics. Politics is about taking opportunity and using events. Mrs T was very good at fudging, U turns and the rest. As you know
Andrew Neil@afneil
Fudging already. So much for change, hope and a new politics.

You seem an idiot Andy. Tweet lees, think more. You can do better

@afneil Having brainwashed a generation of kids with green agenda, then lowered the voting age, its whatever the renewables version of not being able to change the course of a tanker heading for the rocks.

Not to be undone by the Telegraph scaring older readers over the Ginger 80s, the Mail threatens us with the 70s. Actually it’s Back to the 30s with the Mail and the Blackshirts we need to watch
English
This headline looks bonkers, but remember the nostalgia factor . Voters under50 may struggle to remember Kinnock’s Ginger Terror but it still frightens older DT readers

I’ve just heard ex Tory health minister Lansley reveal on R4 that, Burnham ( health sec in 2010) was in secret cross party talks to reform social care. Treasury didn’t know so went among with Tory & Mail campaign attacks on “ Death Tax.” Mail did same to May’s 2017 bid to reform
English
That’s interesting. Evidence please ?

@thebobevans @michaelwhite Henry hung them in Dover and left the bodies there facing Europe as a further warning too. I bet the boat crossings stopped REAL FAST after he did that. No billions spent, no years wasted. Quick, clean, easy, cheap, efficient.
English
Yes, I fear so. The US CONSTITUTION is buckling as craven courts and Congress fail their jobs. Stand up to a tyrant while there’s still time
Jon Wood@JonWoodCov
@michaelwhite Basic voter details are available free online or at least for a government fee. Trump is trying to push this towards a justification for extra controls for the mid-terms, to try and stem predicted losses.
English
I agree with half your post. Voting systems can’t cure bad politics, by either the pols or voters. And yes, middle class voters are often silly.But plebs “thick”? No! Yet millions still vote for tyrantTrump & it’s a mystery why folk support rich and greedy rabble rouser, Farage
GarfieldTheCat@GarfieldTheCa15
@JonWoodCov @michaelwhite The voting system is not the issue. The issue is the middle class left don't understand why the plebs don't vote for them and justify it by saying the plebs are thick and don't understand what they're voting for.
English
Legit points, but let’s all be patient for once. AB hasn’t even got the job yet. It’s not easy to be a good PM today and our impatience doesn’t help
Jon Wood@JonWoodCov
@michaelwhite Sod all this lobbying - Mahmood is right wing but has little experience in financial matters. Running a tight ship badly is not the solution. Milliband or whoever can obey general instructions on boundaries from PM AB. As HomeSec, Mahmood has done popular, effectively.
English
No, I’m not. But don’t put ideas in Trump’s head ( though the Emperor Trump may already been working on it)
Leaver Williamson@Mrswilliamson45
Michael, you are not suggesting we should have Trump’s daughter next are you?
English
Oh Elliot, be serious. Henry engineered the biggest state grab - no compensation - in British history and gave most of the loot to his chums. Also Trump-Like . He was a tyrant, his daughter, Bess, was a much more subtle and effective monarch. Not a tyrant either
Elliot O'Sullivan 🇮🇲@ElliotSpeller2
@michaelwhite Imagine if Henry was alive today. He would look at us spending billions, agonizing over it for years on end, he would say "Just hang them. The cheapest, most effective, most efficient deterrent". Saudi Style bbc.com/news/world-mid…

Thanks. Still

Don’t wallow in nostalgic fantasy.Henry VIII Increasingly reminds me of Trump. Boastful, greedy, a liar and misogynist who also stank - gangrene, not poo. Also unwell and tyrannical by 1540. In 1545 his flag ship sank off Spithead, so not much navy threat to illegal

Elliot O'Sullivan 🇮🇲@ElliotSpeller2
@michaelwhite Small boats is not a new phenomenon. In 1540 a group of men arrived on an English beach via boat, they were executed and King Henry VIII said of the incident "Any alien who violates the virginity of this realms gates will be shown no mercy, only death awaits them"

I hear Farage may face stiff opposition from Count Binface who has more serious policies than Nige, except on crypto, the only detailed bill Reform had produced - withdrawn after Farage’s fingers were caught in the toll . Crypto not big in Clacton
