It's an oldie, but with this lot you can just change the individuals around every now and again and it remains totally relevant!
A change of subject, although the theme remains the same.. The Times has been very busy thus week and has also discovered that the Government has U turned on the policy to exclude all Russian athletes from the Olympics. The article link is below, but the salient partis as follows: "My colleague Martyn Ziegler discovered that the IOC had threatened the UK with losing the right to host qualifying events for new Olympic sports unless we surrendered our opposition to Russian athletes. That’s right: for the sake of hosting a breakdancing event in Stratford, we trashed our principles, strengthened Putin and shafted Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has consistently emphasised the significance of sport as a means of highlighting opposition to Russia’s war of aggression." Seems like all Tories appear to like being victims of blackmail
If we had proportional representation these % figures would be reflected in the seats won and lost. We don't, so first past the post will muddy the waters. We need the swing-ometer to try to untangle how this would translate at Westminster. The scary possibility is the Tories/Reform producing an ultra right wing party to compliment the Red Tories who themselves are right of Ted Heath's government.
It's ok though, as there's a new story breaking. It's about a Tory councillor beating up a bunch of women over several decades: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-68829156
Nicola Sturgeon's husband has be re-arrested: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-68850088 These things drag on forever when the rich and/or powerful are involved. Very tedious.
In Scotland people are always arrested when as they say in England (They are helping police with their enquiries) It's just the way they do it.
