Savaged by a dead sheep.

Ha ha.

John Redwood is retiring.

Posted after Starmer had agreed. This isn't the campaign of sure of its central strategic message. This is one flailing about for short term tactical wins.

I don't. Rishi launches an accurate, targeted attack; that is not credible. Losing his temper and flailing around uncontrollably; that's our Rishi.

The term also has a second meaning that again could apply.

to spend a large amount of money in a way that is unnecessary or that wastes it:

lash out (something) on something
He lashed out £5,000 on his daughter's wedding.

"You should have seen me in there", said Rishi Brent.

Who is that dickhead? Desperately having to wheel out talentless nobodies.

Claire Coutihno is such a winner, she's channelling Jez.

"If you look at these smoke-free generation, he took a very bold decision to do something … It was controversial in certain quarters".

When it was put to her that he had not got this through, she went on:

"I think what he’s done is won the argument on it. And that is exactly what Rishi Sunak is like as a politician. I’ve known him a long time, and the whole time I’ve known him he’s been the kind of person who does take on big arguments."

Is Fast Eddie Davey invited to these debates or hasn’t Rishi the balls to debate him

The one on the left is Patrick Christys. The one on the right is the actual Tory Chairman. A post held in the past by heavyweights. Richard Holden doesn't even have a seat to fight in this election yet.

So that’s out of the loop Holden. His partner, Sun political editor Kate Ferguson still manages to publish inaccurate stories about the government.

As observed BTL, we'll be on to "Chaos with Ed Miliband" by next week.

Ben says:

Drown 'em in the Nenn, or the Neene (How do the yokels pronounce it in these parts?)

That chain of tweets has not developed as GBeebies intended.

I despise twitter, but an drawn to it like a moth to a blowtorch.
I'm delighted to see plenty of good people, more erudite than I, are committed to sit in and contradict their tory-adjacent bullshit.

We need to get Hall into one of the 100 seats.
Hall, Lord Frost and a wild card such as Nasty Nick from Big Brother or Jim Davison....all rolled out as new canditates- call them the three amigos or something- talk about high exposure!

Lord Frost you say

Would this not be because he's in the House of Lords?

But hell, I'll go along with this narrative for the greater good. Shameful, they won't even let real Conservatives run! Vote Reform!

Ah, they're saying he can retire on the spot and then run as an MP. I think Sunak's well within his rights to think "you didn't resign, so you're not a candidate". But as I say, I'm going with the "no place for proper Conservatives with Soggy Sunak in charge.

He's another one who's been disgracefully barred from showing his brilliance.

Spectacular lack of discipline already. Frost and Bannerman to join Reform during the campaign?

Such a shame we lost OJ Simpson recently. He'd have been right at home.

But seriously, a transient minor sleb from 25 years ago, and a past it tax dodging domestic abuser? If that's the best you can think of, you're better off just not thinking.

That reallignment's going well.

Priceless.
