Get the chips and dips out as firstly Badnock and Braverman and now Farage and Habib rip into each other like cats in a sack , most of all I would relish a cage fight between mad nads Doris and the haunted pencil Rees Mogg

I'm personally waiting to see if Ashworth and Debbonaire come to blows about who the biggest victim in unfairly* losing their seats
 
Interesting choice for American voters this November: which definition of "demented" do you want in charge for the next four years?

Luckily we didn't have our recently-elected Prime Minister say Biden was "on good form" yesterday. That might look like a lie in retrospect...
 
No offence, but WTF was he supposed to say? <doh>
'I just met the President and can confirm he's not the full ticket'?
Preferably something that wouldn't come back to bite him within hours

Even something non-specific along the lines of "I met with him, we spoke for a couple of hours" may not be saying much in terms of content, but it also avoids suggesting the Biden was either in full grip of his faculties or needed someone to tell him the picture book he was handed to know where he is was upside down in case that ages about as well as Redfall

Not sure how a generic, diplomatic comment would come back and bite him. From a UK perspective he's just playing grown-up politics. From a US perspective, no-one there gives a **** what a British PM says.
From what I saw, Biden was quite together when he met Starmer. And the responses from all the other leaders was pretty consistent as well.
And this isn't a defence of Biden as he is clearly not fit to stand for reelection.

It's not "grown up politics" if, barely hours after making a statement, you look as trustworthy as the randy Honey Monster
 
You don't even have to make a religious declaration in the UK since 1888.
Starmer's the 7th Prime Minister to make a non-religious affirmation, apparently.
Funnily enough, people seem to make religious declarations whenever they see the cokehead blathering

The good news is he says he's leaving London, which definitely isn't due to him being unable to pay his rent due to losing all those court cases...
