Uk Affairs - Sterling is taking a Pounding

There is an outside chance that there could be a move against rushi toward the end of the year and an attempt to get boris back in before the election. Even if it happened, I donā€™t think it would make a difference.

People are just tired of them at this stage

The Tories are absolutely despised though.

ā€œBut Boris is a legend though, innee?ā€ (I said that in my mind in a Jack Grealish voice)

The Liberal Democrats really should go for ā€œGet Brexit Undoneā€ as their slogan at the next election, in the absence of Labour refusing to recognise the crocodile in the room.

Labour wonā€™t win on an unbrexit platform. They will get the unbrexit crowd regardless. They are fighting for the 10% in the middle who probably regret brexit but donā€™t want to go back on themselves.
They want to be torylite to win the middle ground.
Which is exactly starmer really.

Iā€™d say centre left rather than Tory lite tbh.
Manchester city council has its issues, but it is labour to the core, yet very pro business, and the city is being transformed absolutely for the better. Planning just gone in for a 73 story. Itā€™s actually becoming quite nice.

Twenty years ago i was a great advocate for smoking, drinking and womanising. But one gets older and wiser and the cigarettes seem harder and harder to justify

There is nothing out of smoking cigarettes except great expense and health problems. I detest the habit.

Torygraph going after Hancock. The clown handed over all his WhatsApp messages to Isabel Oakeshott when she was writing his diaries. Good enough for him
