Dianne Abbott (who ?) on C4 news said she thought that the applause was “staged”.

What. A. Fucking. Idiot.

Roughly translated, nobody much agreed with her.

Political commentary. And Gaby (who I keep calling Gaby Roslin) isn't by any means among the worst. As someone BTL says, what does this "vision" stuff actually mean? There's a manifesto we can look at, and per Full Fact, lots of it seems to be happening. I don't agree with restricting student and care visas, but if you were so minded, you could say there was a vision there about what level of net immigration is appropriate, and by no means a vision confined only to Farage and Goodwin.

I alighted on Gaby because she actually noted the special needs policy, so is at least doing something beyond the others. One wonders how that policy relates to this "vision thing". Perhaps we could just judge it on its merits?

Limb? Out on his treacherous Scotch arse, I hope. I have never trusted that slippery scroat.

Ahem. Treacherous Scottish arse, if you please. As you ought to know, Scotch is a golden nippy drink.

Maybe it’s not quite dawned on these journalists that the reason there is no obvious replacement because it’s not 2 years into a 5 year term after a election that was a landslide.

Who was Cameron’s challenger? Only Johnson showed up after 5 years, Osborne was his obvious replacement and would without Brexit probably replaced him.

May at a push was also a possibility but Johnson, Truss and Sunak who they ended up on where never PM material.

Nethier is Badenoch or Jenrick.

Blair only ever had Brown. After 14 years a whole list of challengers don’t just show up.
