    To be fair to Sunak, how could he possibly have known when he made his 6th June appointment for a very important interview with Paul Brand, that they would go and schedule a D-Day commemoration for the same date?

    After all the Tory cock-ups in the UK, if Labour come in and govern with the ineptitude it has governed Wales, it'll be 1970's crisis all over again. The stature of our politicians today is rock bottom

    Sunak, in his sham apology, says that the issue of his desertion of the D-Day commemorations shouldn't be politicised.

    Just what was it that you scuttled away for then, Rishi? Oh yes, a political interview in which you will have doubled down on your lies about Labour's tax plans.

    Survived 15 minutes of the great debate. Didn’t realise that Farage is yet another shortarse, like Starmer, Macron, Zelensky, Johnson and of course little Rishi.

    Of course all born leaders, not driven by any kind of complex whatsoever. Napoleon Dynamite.

    By the time I decided TOTP 1996 was be a better call (confirmed, Garbage first up) not a single answer had attracted any applause from the audience. And yes, an ancient TOTP much more interesting than an England friendly for me.

    You’re right, it’s dire.

    I don’t recall as “meh” an election campaign in my lifetime. Labour will get in because they’re not the Tories. That’s about it, really. Meh.

    Napoleon was actually taller than the average Frenchman at the time. British propaganda painted him as a midget.

    This is not overtly political

    But what is wrong with having a dull prime minister.

    I would love a dull but competent PM

    Boris was never dull.. There was always something to see and hear from Boris.
    Truss was never dull.

    I had hopes for Sunak, who seemed a bit dull but turned out to be somewhat incompetent especially on the campaign trail.

    Bring on a dull PM...

    I just hope Starmer will be competent in what he does

    72% of Labour voters would use private healthcare to avoid a loved one being stuck on a long waiting list, according to YouGov. Last night, Farage was recommending looking at the French healthcare system, where those with money buy insurance to cover their health needs.

    Starmer and Streeting are looking like dinosaurs.
