On Skinner, i'm just not a socialist and view someone spouting his boring rhetoric and quips all the time in Parliament, getting himself purposely thrown out just jokes. He was basically a mascot by the time Blair got elected, a dancing monkey. Token socialist.
When I have read some books and/or interviews Dennis seemed to come across as an Arthur Scargillesque bully boy who liked to mock anyone who didn't align with him, type of dude desperate for a job on a select committee in the Soviet Union so he can add none believers to a list.
Very similar to Archers actually



I've got this caricature of Rishi in the sense of words, where he says you are all my brothers or all my family, it's what I see as a false front, a mask, and sadly today to me, he played out that caricature very much how I would have predicted him to behave - it's using words as protectionism of ones personality, where in reality he would never rescue you from the fire, he's the guy that would have run miles away. Very disrespectful.
You're wrong mate....
Sucky would roll his into a spliff.![]()

Looks like Rishi has apologised for leaving the D Day commemerations to do the ITV interview.
He reckons 'on reflection' it was a bad idea.

and as usual he read the room wrong, he never thinks things through properly. I'm no great fan of commemorating war, we have remembrance day and that's as far as it stretches for me, but yesterday where was his advisors, we have 24/7 news channels now, and social media, along with devices that contact people within seconds, so there is no excuse for this type of cock up. I'd say he needs to sack someone, but he'll be getting the sack himself soon, so no point.
"First of all, let me say how sorry I am to hear your story. Secondly, I know about D-day; my family had members that lived at the time of D-day. We've got plans that the Treasury have drawn up and properly costed for the next D-day. The Conservatives are the D-day party. Labour will just tax it ..."
Sunak is the archetypal rich boy who has never had to really work or struggle in his life for owt - as such he has made political fame his Holy Grail - it glosses over a large number of inadquacies whilst still pandering to an inflated ego - he's also under the severe delusion that politics is also continually at the forefront of the minds of the general populace ... hence the huge faux pas yesterday ..
You just know every time he gets up to speak it will be exactly like in the EU parliament, having a go.
I doubt anyone in there will care but it'll still be all over every news channel.

Part of life is learning and especially learning from your mistakes in life, I'd like to know what Sunak learned from this cock up and what values it has taught him, remembering this is the guy that wants to bring in National Service and yesterday our King stood in front of a memorial wall and you couldn't but help note the ages of those that died on it.
That’s the thing; the media have created this monster, and nothing will stop them feeding it because Farage sells papers. Well alright, not papers, no one buys them anymore; but he’s clickbait as they say.
More people probably support the Greens than Reform, but how much coverage do they get ffs?

Imo it's disgusting that people in here forgot that Rishi's father was a doctor
An NHS one too
Have some ****in respect
