Fair play to Nadhim Zahawi, it can't be easy pinching yourself at the same time as shaving your head.
Who says men can't multitask?

The Ascent of Man presented by Norman Vaughan and Vince Hill wouldn't have been very good.

How times change. Over half an hour after posting a tweet praising Gordon Brown not a single 'he sold our gold' or 'he stole our pensions' replies.

John Smith was a great man. So is Gordon Brown.

Ben needs to calm down otherwise he might need the services of the imaginary hospital he's promised the voters.

Fans of an older vintage will recall Lorimer's goal in the 1967 FA Cup semi final against Chelsea.
Fifty seven years later and we're no nearer an explanation why it was disallowed.

'Nadhim Zahawi will have to pay his own fuel bills now, Trigger'
'No sweat...'

Does anyone else substitute wild with warm when singing along with the Stones' Wild Horses?

Porn bots have a surprising interest in my views on Jesse Marsch's time in charge at #lufc .

Predictably, the papers and #r4today concentrate on disgruntled Labour MPs after the Elphicke defection.
In reality, the wider electorate is the audience.

Whisper it quietly and there's a long way to go but the chances of a Trump victory in November are receding.
What a defeat looks like is another matter.

The defection of Elphicke has shown the ruthlessness of Labour.
For good or ill, the party recognises Queensbury Rules are inappropriate for opponents who normally play dirty.

Each to his own, I'd like Jesse Marsch to be covered in marmalade and hosed with angry wasps.
We can't always get what we want

One thing is for certain about Elphicke's defection. She really hates Rishi Sunak.

Elphicke has zero role to play in the Labour Party now or in the future.
I'm baffled what's in it for her.

Labour members clutching their pearls over the defection of Natalie Elphicke miss the point.
Her only asset to Labour is she's seriously damaged Tory party morale.

It's ugly but the defection of Elphicke has achieved its objective. It is causing huge damage to the Tory party.

You boy. Want to stand as a candidate in Dover and Deal?

The most recent unwelcome appearance by someone called Elphicke was McGowan in a hut in Dusseldorf
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet

It would have made sense if Elphicke had defected to Reform not Labour.
2024 is truly baffling.
