Tory source says better take the hit for ?than take the risk of @afneil. Happy Days! https://t.co/Xw7aWICrQp — Adam Boulton (@adamboultonSKY) November 27, 2019 If so could this be like TMay skipping the GE17 debates This hasn’t been confirmed yet but there appears to be a possibility that Johnson might not agree to do an Andrew Neil interview like the one that Nicola Sturgeon and Corbyn have already gone through. Adam Boulton’s Tweet sums this up – that the risk…

The multi-billionaire who wants to beat Trump Above is one of the first WH2020 campaign ads for 77 year old Michael Bloomberg who announced at the weekend that we was running for the White House. His approach to the campaign for the Democratic is very different from his rivals. Firstly, of course, he’s not having to bother with the tedious business of fundraising. He’s committed $150m of his own money to his campaign and clearly there is a lot more…

One thing’s for sure: Johnson and Swinson won’t be looking forward to their sessions Jeremy Corbyn just gave one of the worst political performances of modern times. In his interview with Andrew Neil he came across as bored, irritable, ill-informed and unprincipled. It was career-endingly terrible.#andrewneilinterviews#BBCelectionhttps://t.co/SIuMUIyKQ2 — Theodora Dickinson (@TheaDickinson) November 26, 2019 Andrew Neil is brilliant. He makes the useless leaders of all parties squirm. Sturgeon & Corbyn absolutely taken apart. He will exactly the same to Johnson &…

The Chief Rabbi’s comments on anti-semitism put the focus once again on what’s troubled Corbyn’s Labour Party for nearly 2 years – the way it has handled anti-semitism within the movement.

She left her original party after facing a torrent…

From the PBer who could be an MP in 17 days time As regular readers will know, I am the Conservative candidate for Newcastle-under-Lyme, a seat that has been Labour for a century and has not elected a Conservative since 1880. However I am now facing a majority of just 30, in a seat that voted around 63% to Leave. That’s the official Borough figure – Professor Chris Hanretty has the constituency a touch lower at 61.6% but observers who…

In deepest Remainia the polling picture is very different For the last couple of Sundays the former YouGov president, Peter Kellner, has published a total of six constituency polls as part of an effort to examine potential tactical voting possibilities in seats which voted Remain at the referendum. So far all of them have been in London but next weekend we are promised a selection from elsewhere in England. The voting figures in all six seats have the Tories in…
