Canada might turn out to be an example of Donald Trump damaging the chances of right wing parties across the world. Something Nigel Farage and to a lesser extent Kemi Badenoch may have to worry about. Although Sir Keir may also have that issue but he does have a get out of jail card that he is Prime Minister and has to live in the real world. I suspect if Ukraine is sold out by the appeaser and the beardy…
If you have any money resting in your account you might be contemplating betting on who will be the next Pope and bookies like Paddy Power are offering odds but I would caution against betting on these markets as this is the epitome of an insiders’ market. No matter how many times you have watched the film Conclave doesn’t make you an expert on papal elections. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the candidate most aligned with the late Pope…
As Reform continue to surge in the polls Scotland isn’t immune to the charms of a Farage led party this time but I wonder if his latest announcement will cause Reform to stall and indeed go backwards in North Britain. Reform going for the votes of disaffected Scottish nationalists is fraught with risks as it risk alienating Unionists who were considering voting Reform but would never countenance supporting the SNP or Scottish independence. Nigel Farage whose lifelong political strategy has…
Today is a day synonymous with resurrection and discussing Liz Truss leading a major political party again would be a resurrection greater than the Son of God. This talk has emerged after The Times reported that Liz Truss has been giving advice to Nigel Farage on how to deal with the blob were Farage to become Prime Minister, unless the advice is ‘Nigel, don’t do anything I did during my 49 days as Prime Minister’ then Farage should ignore her,…
The Express have reported that This appears to be a voodoo poll, a self selecting poll, where anybody can vote, repeatedly as I cannot find anything on IllicitEncounters.com related to the pollster who conducted this poll, and I have spent a long time on their website trying to find that information. Whilst I can understand why women would be attracted to the brilliance of a Cambridge educated lawyer any poll that has Piers Morgan at the top of this ranking…
it feels every time I write about Rachel Reeves or Kemi Badenoch it feels like I am pointing how bad they are in their jobs but this is the only material that is available, both of them need to change the narrative. As Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves has more levers to pull to change the narrative than the Leader of the Opposition. TSE
By the end of his second term we may be speaking of Donald Trump in the same breath as truly great pro EU types like Jacques Delors and Margaret Thatcher who helped create and deliver the Single Market. TSE
It is quite staggering that barely a third of 2024 Tory voters think Kemi Badenoch would make the better Prime Minister. She does have time to turn things around before the next election (if the Tory Party gives her time) but it appears the country has concluded that when it comes to Kemi Badenoch we might be talking about a .22 calibre mind in a .357 magnum world.
