Right.

A quick vent.

Why in the world was Suella Braverröhm on the BBC’s flagship political show today?

After a full three days of incredible political performances, with so many, many other people it would be great to hear from, we get Braverman who is a twice fired…

I can never quite believe what I’m hearing with Braverman. I know it’s coming, but when she actually says it, out loud, with a straight face I’m gobsmacked every time. Listening to her this morning, I almost had sympathy for Sunak - not quite, but almost.

Really great to see the Greens and Lib Dems making gains too. Maybe the news channels could stop inviting Richard Tice and Reform on all the time and reflect the politics of this country.

A very fair question from Victoria Derbyshire to which there is only one answer. Persecuting asylum seekers is a higher priority for the Tory Government than punishing rapists.

I'm favour of banning the sale of cigarettes on public health grounds.

It's a chance to avoid future generations of smoke damaged health.

Yes..I understand the civil liberties argument.

But similarly some people in the UK wish to buy guns - and I'm glad they (mostly) can't.

My 84 year old Dad is doing the Jurrasic Coast 100Km ultra marathon (walking) on May 18th to raise money for his local NHS Hospital - someone got to fund it I guess. Madness, but here's the link in case you feel like donating. justgiving.com/page/robert-mo…
