    It's only going to get worse between now and the GE. I doubt whether either side will keep the gloves on, but the Tories have their client journalists to help drive the agenda/s.
    Just pray that Sunak loses his bottle and goes for May. At least then the pain will be compressed.

    With every passing day, this government's rhetoric becomes more and more like the monologue in TRB's 'Power in the Darkness'.

    Today, institutions fundamental to the British system of government are under attack
    the public schools, the house of Lords, the Church of England, the holy institution of Marriage, even our magnificent police force are no longer safe from those who would undermine our society, and it's about time we said 'enough is enough' and saw a return to the traditional British values of discipline, obedience, morality and freedom.

    What we want is
    Freedom from the reds and the blacks and the criminals
    Prostitutes, pansies and punks
    Football hooligans, juvenile delinquents
    Lesbians and left wing scum
    Freedom from the ******s and the Pakis and the unions
    Freedom from the Gipsies and the Jews
    Freedom from leftwing layabouts and liberals
    Freedom from the likes of you"

    Time for a 2024 version, Tom.

    They simply changed the words, islamist rule to mob rule.

    When blatant racism gets called out resort to the dog whistle approach.

    Nothing to see here, just the Minister for Common Sense getting laughed out of Commons

    Well, I guess that was funnier than a Tory MP calling for the death penalty for Drs and nurses for administering vaccines....

    There’s a 1930s vibe about politics at the moment.
    Oswald Mosley reincarnated as Lee Anderson

    More a hybrid of Anderson & Farage, although to be fair to Mosley he had a more impressive Parliamentary career than either of them! <laugh>

    According to the BBC's royal correspondent there's little interest in the whereabouts of Kate Middleton, who has not been seen in public since late December

    Oh there's plenty of interest, not least because Kensington Palace had a brand new patio laid down in mid-January...

    I'm sure the BBC will give plenty of airtime to sixth-placed Simon Danczuk for some inexplicable reason...
