Loser Brigden and Looza Fox. Like Dumb and Dumber, but not funny.

They look like a terrible reboot of Steptoe and Son.

Ha ha ha ha.

Labour aiming only for a minority government, apparently.

Two can play at this and hopefully this tedious dance at every election goes away.
‘Will you form a coalition?’
‘We are going into this election to win.’

If you’re going to remind voters that Salmond was up to the job of managing a minority administration, may as well ask them if they think Sunak would be with the DUP.

Yeah, I liked that one.

I didn't quite understand with Milliband why he didn't say straightaway "We'll put forward our proposals and they can put the Tories in, if they want".

Jenrick manages to be a free market crook and a crypto-fascist. A future unity candidate with a full house of cunt points

How is it opportunist, Labour are likely the only party that would be able to form a majority next time, maybe Journalists should do their jobs properly

Can a counter-strike be opportunist?

Yes, in D&D. Attack of opportunity, when an enemy disengages, moves past you, or otherwise offers themselves as a target. Player character gets a free shot.

Seems like another irregular verb. I've a ready response, you take advantage of an opening, they're opportunistic chancers.

Best not to launch a counter attack when all you have is muskets that blow up in your face. It was worrying that charter city plans would never make it onto the political agenda.

Also in general military terms or, often, in football. Your enemy's attack falters, you kick him in the fork.

Never, ever fuck with Private Eye when they've got their teeth into something.

Well done, Ben. Hislop will almost certainly bring this up on HIGNFY, bringing it to a much wider audience.

Badenoch getting it from the ERG now for (rightly) scrapping the commitment to get rid of all EU law by the end of next month.

I think the ERG-Bozo group are a busted flush. There comes a time where too many people are fed up with head banging. See the DUP going into government with Sinn Fein in 2008(?). That’s where the Tories are now. Could the Reform Party make progress, or will they be about as effective as TUV?

Having infiltrated the Tories and essentially failed in their demented mission, is it too much to hope that the UKIP/EDL elements will now fuck off?

What’s the funniest; Kemi getting a dressing down for getting lippy or laughing at Hoyle being awakened from his slumber? Didn’t notice the defender of the House showing this much passion when PMs lie to the House.

He gave Sunak a bollocking yesterday. R4Today edited that bit out this morning, leaving the audience with the impression that Sunak has a clever line for everything. Obviously.

Are you sure they've failed? We're out of the EU which ultimately is all that mattered to UKIP.

Wasn’t the point at issue not that she was proposing this course of action, but that she neglected to inform the house about it before making it public? Speakers really don’t like that stuff, even Duffer Hoyle.

That's what Hoyle didn't like, but the ERG types are upset about their daft policy being scrapped. Hilariously, there's now a government spin war about who is really responsible (in a bad way) for the sensible policy.
