The headline is a bit deceptive, Tata is still doing what it is supposed to with the grant.

Port Talbot’s blast furnaces will shut down while the company builds electric arc furnaces, which make steel from recycled scrap, a greener and cheaper process.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ha ha ha.

[Youngian]

It’s like an England match where there’s little appetite for punch ups with Johnny Foreigner so English hooligans without a ticket fight among themselves while everyone else is in the stadium.

[Andy McDandy]

And in this analogy, the ERG/New Tories/etc are the guy shoving a flare into his nethers and setting it off.

[Tubby Isaacs]

The full clip is apparently not quite as bad. But fuck it, they do it to us.

John Major in 1992, this certainly isn't. (Not that Major's campaign necessarily made much difference- the polls were wrong all the way through).

[Youngian]

Do you know what it’s like to clean up your own mother’s piss, Mr Sunak?

[Watchman]

No matter what was edited or whatever, all he had to do was simply spend a few minutes talking to the lady, no spin, just a conversation and some empathy….what it does prove is normal behaviour is beyond him.

The nineteenth day in the first month of the two-thousand-and twenty-fourth year of the lord.

Ricky won't be forgetting today any time soon.

[davidjay]

It doesn't matter how much his supporters say it was edited, that's the clip which will be repeated time and again. He's been shown as totally incapable of understanding ordinary people.

[Tubby Isaacs]

May not be the last such clip. Actually, it probably will be.

[kreuzberger]

They'll bus in some penniless bigots from Clacton or people who definitely are not old pals of Leeanderthal.

[mattomac]

Thing is it was clipped but if it wasn’t for the woman trying to continue to engage with him it would have been as bad as the edited version.

And does he miss hear when he laughs? I do find it funny that the worse part focuses on his slogan that he’s been trying to attack Labour with this last fortnight.

She is right though, why can’t it be like it was in 2010, austerity did nothing and now you spend like drunken sailors on tax bribes while councils, NHS, Universities, colleges and schools go down the sink.

[Tubby Isaacs]

They really think they've been hard done by.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Moylan is a stupid, stupid man.

And, in my estimation, a cunt.

[Youngian]

Dramatic events elsewhere have distracted from Sunak sparking a military spat with Venezuela. Worrying development when a clueless unstable nationalist crank is in charge. And Maduro isn’t much better.

Venezuela has ordered the armed forces to hold military exercises in response to the UK's decision to send a warship to support neighbouring Guyana.
Military leaders said 5,600 soldiers would take part in "defensive" exercises on Venezuela's eastern Caribbean and Atlantic coasts.
Earlier this month, Venezuelan voters backed the creation of a new state in oil-rich Essequibo.
Guyana has administered the area for decades.
In a television address on Thursday, President Nicolás Maduro said the exercises were being launched "in response to the provocation and threat of the United Kingdom against peace and the sovereignty of our country". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-am ... 836342.amp

[Tubby Isaacs]

Getting on with the plan, or whatever the latest line is.

[Abernathy]

The lines they seem to have settled on are twofold :

1. Labour has no plan.

2. If Labour gets in, it’ll be “back to square one”.

No prizes for spotting what’s wrong with both of those.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

All of which Rishi Rat was pushing in an interview I saw. He looked lost, ugly and inadequate.

[mattomac]

I assume their strategy at this moment is to suggest there is no plan because attacking the actual plan wouldn’t help.

Which is probably correct after all it’s not bad even if some of it is a bit hard to predict. You wouldn’t want to promote the opposition’s plans.

Problem is it’s not going hold in an election campaign which we are pretty much already in.
