Apologies for leaving Scott Benton off the list, prize cunt that he is.

James Duddridge. Sent out by Bozo on the night before he resigned to promise "tax cuts". Most hilariously bouncy performance since Timothy Claypole in Rentaghost.

If I were the writer of comic political songs, I''d write a parody of the Rentaghost theme tune, with the first line "If your premiership needs saving, then call James Dudd-ridge"

That's the only line so far.

It’s why I took an instant dislike to Chris Philip who was the one they kept putting out to speak in favour of Liz Truss’s budget, the guy was completely dead behind the eyes and thought he had intelligence that was beyond the mere might of the journalists.

However slim the possibility might be, there's not a Moment that would come close to North East Somerset (LAB gain).

It'd be a Lib Dem scalp rather than Labour, but John Redwood might be toast in Wokingham.

The appalling Robert Buckland will most likely struggle to hang on in Swindon South, he'll be up against Heidi Alexander.

Likewise the Shit from Shipley, Philip Davies. More time for him to soft soap whatever remaining Tory MPs there on his GB News show, I suppose.

Unlikely to happen but mine would be Steve Baker.

In fairness to Duddridge, he didn't seem to be like that. Just comically unaware that Bozo was fucked, and that you don't chuck out (presumably) large tax cuts because you're in a political corner.

I'll be honest, if Rees-Moog gets booted out on his arse I would seriously consider having an alcoholic drink for the first time in my adult life.

The finest champagne, dear boy.

Different Shaun Bailey. This one is an MP in West Bromwich.

Fair enough, 2 Shaun Baileys is not a good look.

Ha ha ha. This is pure Trump. "Many people are saying". In Whitehall apparently. And even if they were, that wouldn't Sunak had "stopped" them.

I should think there is a very real chance Baker will lose his Wycombe seat. Or are you worried about a split vote?

I assume he means the civil service who have never had the power to dictate government policy, it’s why this government seems to continuously be ending up in court.

Policy by Mail column.

Nobody has to sort their rubbish into 7 bins, unless you mean at the tlp where you dump the green waste here and the general waste there. The most I've seen domestically is 4 bins (or more accurately 2 bins and 2 boxes): general, green, bottles and cans, paper.

But just like Baa Baa fucking Black Sheep, everyone has heard of some other place where "they" have banned it. Not round here, we're far too sensible. But somewhere else. Probably where there are more of That Lot.

Look at this morning's front pages. Remember that Jez's gang think the 'MSM' want I said Keef huf hur hur as Prime Minister. Weep for humanity

We have four bins at home. Paper, bio, plastic, none of the above. Plus, we have clear and coloured glass bins in the yard, and an orange one is periodically delivered into which we can throw dead electricals.

So, that's seven in total.

"I've got 99 problems and the bins ain't - er - seven."

And you live in Germany.

On Berlin time...

I gave up drinking a year and a half ago (no particular reason other than I never drank much anyway and low/non-alcohol beer is so good now, why bother with mild hangovers and double the calories for nowt?). However I have 1 can of Brewdog’s Barnard Castle Eye Test IPA in the fridge to consume the moment the Tories can no longer mathematically win the GE.

I was expecting it to be consumed in the wee small hours, but at this rate I’ll be cracking it open about 10 mins after polls close

My husband has an entire box of the stuff. Originally, he was saving it for when Johnson left - but given the state we were in, he's saving it for when it's finally confirmed that the Tories're out.
