POLITICAL GEEK FACT OF THE DAY.

Since 1945 there have been only two prime ministers who have assumed power as a result of a general election and then lost their office due to a general election.

Clement Attlee and Edward Heath.

Astonishing, really.

And obviously I’d have shaved this morning if I’d known…. 🐻

And then there are those that don’t make landfall…🙄

I suspect that the emphasis there is on abroad….

A thoughtful, wise and statesmanlike decision by Boris Johnson to withdraw, reflecting the qualities that made so many of us originally put our faith in him 3 years ago. Putting the country and the party first.

BREAKING: Boris withdraws
😳

Well…so to think when they were saying they had enough support, they may not have been telling the truth…..

If only the French had a phrase for bon mot….

Smart message from Rishi Sunak. But you are left wondering
* who broke the economy that it needs fixing so badly?
* and why the need to stress ‘integrity, professionalism and accountability’ in government?
🤔

Am sure more plot twists and psycho drama to come - it’s the Tory party after all - but feels this morning we are heading towards the coronation of King Rishi

Steve really needs to learn to say what he thinks…
#brutal

Bravo Sangita Myska 👏👏👏

Fantastic to have you on….

Hot off the press…..

Think the ad at bottom of the page is for the British voters who’ll be shut out of the decision - again…
