Why, a year after raising taxes and vowing not to come back for more, is Reeves coming back for more? She will "do what is necessary, not what is popular". Ooo-ooh! [Telegraph Thursday 6/11/25].

Starmer declined to stand by manifesto commitments on taxes and did not repeat the promise not to raise income tax rates, VAT or NI. "Quick! Bury that thing!" Meh, most of the original promises that got him elected were buried long ago anyway. [Telegraph Friday 31/10/25]

Reeves will "defy" gloomy forecasts for the UK economy after it emerged the government is facing a bigger-than-expected hole in the public finances. Oh and it's Hallowe'en. [Telegraph Thursday 30/10/25].

Despite some recovery in the NHS, Streeting says there is a growing sense of "despair" in the country - wondering if anyone can "turn the country around". [Telegraph Tuesday 27/10/25]

So, while peace breaks out in Gaza and Trump turns his National Guard inward to fight "domestic terror", I bring you a flaccid gag about relaxing the UK licensing laws (helping economic growth?) to...er...brighten your day. Meh! Come on, cheer up! [Telegraph Friday 10/10/25].

The prosecution of two Brits, alleged to have spied for China, collapsed because Starmer's Government refused to say that China was an “enemy” of the UK (just a competitor). OK, I'll grant you, not exactly a side-splitter 😐[Telegraph Thursday 9/10/25].

Flags, flags everywhere at the Labour Party conference. Starmer misses no opportunity to wrap himself in the Union Jack in a brazen attempt to steal Farage's clothes. I guess we'll see if it worked. [Telegraph Friday 2/10/25].

Burnham denies aiming to stand against Starmer but presents policies he said would “turn the country around” - higher council tax on expensive homes in SE, £40bn of borrowing to build council houses, income tax cuts for lower earners, 50p rate for the highest-paid. [Telegraph Friday 26/9/25].

At the Lib Dem conference, Ed Davey presents no new policies but asks for the support of disillusioned Tories in order to conquer the high peaks of power. Any whiff of electoral expectation from a Lib Dem leader is an inevitable reminder of David Steel's wild hubris. [Telegraph Thursday 25/9/25].

Shabana Mahmood, new hard-nut right-wing Home Sec, will lodge an appeal against a court ruling which blocked a migrant being returned to France. Meanwhile the first 1-in-1-out migrant is returned. Gloves off with the judges then. [Telegraph Friday 19/9/25].

Starmer got to escape his demons for a day playing pomp and circumstance with Trump at Windsor...but it's back to normal again. White tie back in the wardrobe. This is the earlier unexpurgated version (n pants!) [Telegraph Thursday 18/9/25].

Kyiv attack shows Putin’s talk about peace is all posturing; he rejects Western proposals for a “reassurance force” in Ukraine if a ceasefire is agreed. Psychological warfare indeed. The psychopathic Lt Col Kilgore in Apocalypse Now seemed to fit. [Telegraph Monday 9/9/25].

Summer is hottest ever in UK. Labour's polling gets worse and worse. Farage has spent the summer "recess" making lots of noise about crumbling Britain, forcing the media to dance to his tune, not that of Starmer (who has no tune). [Telegraph Thursday 28/08/25].

Ah, yes, Mystic Dan. Unspeakably depressing. Astonishing hubris from a rabid ideologue of the free market right. Utter nonsense delivered with eloquent "conviction". Now a Lord. Johnson and Farage; narcissistic opportunists. Gove just an opportunist. Hannan is the worst of them.
Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape…
