Sensational Scenes from Grimbsy townhall this morning
North of Watford the UK is a busted flush
Good to see West of the Severn the Conservative & Unionist Party is very much on the way back. 11 out of 40 seats, only in the 1983 landslide have the CUP amassed more seats in Wales in the last century - 14 on that occasion. To think the CUP won 0 seats in Wales in 1997 & 2001 and were supposedly finished there. Let that be a warning to all the doomsayers who say that Scotland has been lost for good to the CUP. The Scots will get tired of those layabout SNP rabble rousers soon enough.

Are you ploughing into any Tory flange tonight?

Tremendous pageantry and protocol around central London today for the VE celebration weekend
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Having confirmed continuity in the Great Offices of State and Defence last Friday – coupled with a somewhat tokenistic if well deserved promotion in title for Gideon – the Prime Minister has formulated the remainder of Her Majesty’s cabinet. Again welcome continuity with Theresa May becoming the longest serving home secretary in over half a century, IDS retaining the Welfare portfolio but some new faces too. Philip Hammond is new Foreign Secretary and Michael Gove has been appointed Lord Chancellor and Justice Secrtary. As predicted Pritti Patel joins the government. Just reading her profile there - she sounds like just the sort of person whose input is needed.
Priti Patel, the junior Treasury minister, was a familiar face on TV during the general election campaign, putting the Conservative party line forcefully, and less robotically than many other frontbenchers put up by CCHQ. We’re going to be hearing more from her. She is replacing Esther McVey, the former employment minister who lost her seat, and she will be on the screens every month when new employment figures come out.
For a party that has been historically short of women and minority ethnic figures at the top, Patel’s promotion ticks two boxes at the same time, but she is not someone whose rise has been accompanied by offstage whispers about tokenism. She has had a long background in politics, working for the party as a press officer in the William Hague era, when joining the Tories was not an option for careerists, and she has robust, rightwing views, which she never made much effort to conceal. Before Patel joined the Conservatives, she worked for the Referendum party, Sir James Goldsmith’s Eurosceptic party, before the 1997 election. She is also one of the relatively few MPs who has openly advocated the return of hanging.
The Home Office is only half the Office it once was with the Justice portfolio spun out and with that much of the controversy and baggage of the role. No way May lasts in that role otherwise. She’ll sill manage to get herself booted out quick enough with the Lib Dems not there to put the brakes on her.

Chelsea Flower show this week, great to see Prince Harry at it
Prince Harry described the Sentebale garden, named after a charity he co-founded, as “fantastic”
Jesus Christ, would you look at the slop they served up Prince Charles, you can just imagine the thought process of the roaster who came up with this
