Nonentities replaced by nonentities
I read the Daily Telegraph every day on my iPad; usually at lunch time when enjoying a pint in one of my locals. I was fascinated today (27-Jun-16) to learn the names of shadow cabinet members who had been fired or … Continue reading

I am relieved to hear that the 1922 Committee has set a deadline for electing a new Party Leader at 2 September, bringing forward David Cameron’s proposed date of 2 October but I don’t think it is good enough. We … Continue reading

Queen’s Birthday Honours 2016
I am pleased to see three political ex-colleagues in the Birthday Honours this time and send them hearty congratulations. Cllr Gerald Vernon-Jackson has been appointed a Commander of the British Empire. He is the Liberal leader of Portsmouth City Council … Continue reading

Here we EU-go again
Today we have John Major and Tony Blair pressing us to vote REMAIN. What a surprise! Major suffered years of intolerable behaviour within his Party over the EU question and has the bruises in his psyche today while Blair was willing to … Continue reading
