Chief Whip

It’s a revelation! From South Oxfordshire to Stratford in under 90 minutes door to door thanks to the Elizabeth Line. Now time for those in the North to feel some love though. We’re spoilt! Even if we forget.

If I had the strength to wade through the filth that is the Daily Mail comments section I suspect there would be quite an interesting comparison to be made…. Just checked…. No…..

Hearing reports of the ‘Friends of Childrey’ lighting pitchforks before marching to London. Tesla, Reading now barricaded. :D

Are you referring to the cosplay restaurant in Birmingham?

If this was the UK we’d have a copy of it published in a poor selling, Christmas autobiography before you could say I’m a Celebrity Gaetz Me Out Of Here

The ‘Dreaming Spires’! My glorious city. I do hope you both visited the best chip shop in the city in Blackbird Leys?!

:-) trust me, I know! Was just trying to find a recent example and he’s the first that landed. Ignoring the experience side of things, I suspect only one is working in government with any thought of helping others.

Man in grey down jacket really has a thing for that pint of fosters. That or he’s noticed there’s a fly in the glass.

Thank you, Alex. I guess it’s not too dissimilar to Starmer appointing his cabinet after winning the GE. In some cases also appointing unelected individuals to support e.g. James Timpson/Elon Musk. Depending on your political persuasion you’d suggest that a PM looks to appoint the best for the job.

Hi Alex, I’m trying to get to grips with how nominations/picks work. It doesn’t seem too dissimilar to American sport from an uninformed spectator like myself. Is there anything that explains the process that enables the likes of RFK Jr to be part of the US govt machine?

It is the best bit of Facebook but they really could do with working out their GPS! 10km from Oxford definitely isn’t Bridlington.

“Giggidy dark MAGA giggidy…..urgh”

She’s not always perfect, but she’s not bad!!

I see your ‘X rn’ and raise you this X rn

Recent convert to the app after the @mrjamesob.bsky.social mention on his show. Not a difficult choice to be reborn on Bluesky. IMO the worst part (and there are lots) of X is its use as a propaganda tool by Musk to line his pockets and feed his own narcissism. There’s an hour on that discussion!

I think you’re giving ‘our’ Jonathon a little too much credit.
