    As I've said, the Elphicke thing was a stunt. I can't imagine someone like her ever standing as a Labour candidate. The thing is, it completely spiked Sunak's Rwanda nonsense on a day when he would have been wanting to trumpet the fact the we'd come out of recession. Clever politics.

    Yes, Corbyn and Abbott should be let back in, but it won't happen before the election, sadly.

    If they stood as independents they'd both win...

    Corbynite voters are gone, probably forever. Starmer could climb Big Ben and announce he’s going to personally kill Netanyahu and nationalise everything for a thousand miles and they’d say Jezza would have done it better. They don’t want the responsibility of power- they want to complain from the outside.

    I think Corbyn may be intending to stand as an independent. I hope he does.

    Esther McVey has announced a ban on jobs dedicated to equality, diversity and inclusion in the Civil Service. The irony of the 'Minister for Common Sense' calling EDI a 'pointless job creation scheme' apparently completely lost on her.

    I read they’ve banned rainbow lanyards. Sounds an important move that will improve countless lives.

    Must be the start of the Tory 'war on woke' election campaign.

    Civil servants are supposed to be non-political. So this is a ban on all political eblems in the civil service. If you find that impacts you, you may get away with rainbow underpants, so long as you're careful where you flash them.

    Don’t think a brown and yellow strip count as rainbow underpants

    Is empathy and inclusion political now? How does a rainbow lanyard impact you?

    I wouldn’t call a rainbow lanyard political but either way I’m glad the minister for common sense is dealing with the big issues of our day.

    They'll need to ban red, blue, yellow and green ones too, as they are surely all political statements as well

    Stonewall is highly political, contraversial, and according to the Cass Report, mendacious when it comes to children's safety

    Who mentioned Stonewall?

    Wearing a rainbow lanyard sends a message that the wearer values inclusivity, equality, and human rights - all the 'woke' nonsense that the Tories want to fight against in the election, it seems. Pathetic.
