Another party with about three hundred people in it, steadfastly refusing to unite under a common banner to present a credible alternative to the UniParty, just like all the other new kids on the block.


Yes, we certainly need more of that. We can hardly wait……😔

Rishi Sunak announces a 4 July general election in a statement outside Downing Street


  • After discussing the Covid pandemic, and the war in Ukraine, he says the question is "who do you trust?"
  • Sunak says he's proud of what his government has achieved, including on NHS spending and education
  • The statement came after a day of mounting speculation in Westminster
  • Earlier, Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron cut short a trip to Albania, while Defence Secretary Grant Shapps delayed an overseas trip to attend cabinet
  • All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    Rishi Sunak is speaking to the BBC this morning, a day after calling a general election for 4 July
  • Explaining why he called the election, he tells BBC Breakfast that economic stability has returned
  • You can watch our coverage by pressing play at the top of the page - and listen to Sunak's Radio 4 interview from 08:10 by clicking the Today programme logo above
  • Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer are travelling around the UK on the first day of the campaign

    A man on tv said, vote for the same old,get the same old.
    Just about sums it up.
    imo. PR would be a game changer,no wasted votes.

    The impending disaster as Labour dials all the Tory idiocy up to 11 is what will hopefully create the political space for an actual small-c conservative party, likely some messy mishmash of nationalists, classical liberals and old-school pre-woke former tribal labour supporters.
    The not-very-ideological “tribal voters” (which face it is a large chunk of both Labour and Tory voters) will only be up for grabs when it become impossible to pretend the old tribes still exist. Most Tory tribal voters have got the message, and some Labour ones as well. The next few years will convince what remains.
    It will be a ruinous, horrible intermediate period (in the Egyptian sense of the term). Close to nothing Labour does will make people’s lives better, and as Labour gets desperate, they will become ever more rapacious as they try to fund various doomed-from-the state schemes (such as the nationalised energy company, which I imagine will quickly become the British Leyland of our time. As a result, many with movable assets will indeed move them and themselves elsewhere until it becomes clear how things will shake out in the medium to long term.

    Diane Abbott banned from standing for Labour.


    Diane Abbott texts a BBC reporter to say she's been barred by Labour from standing for the party at the general election.
    The long-serving MP was suspended last year for saying Jewish, Irish and Traveller people do not face racism "all their lives"
    She apologised shortly after making the comments and has been readmitted as a Labour MP; the party are yet to comment.


    Meanwhile, today marks one week since the election was called, and the main parties are continuing to roll out policy pledges.  PM Rishi Sunak says he'll scrap some university courses in England and instead fund 100,000 apprenticeships a year. 


    Labour has promised a target to start NHS treatment within 18 weeks will be hit within five years.  In Wales, the Liberal Democrats are launching their campaign with a pledge to increase the agricultural budget by £1bn.

    Nigel Farage is now set to appear on BBC Question Time tomorrow in Epsom to tout Reform’s election message.That should be fun…


    It’s the first time Farage will take to the crescent desk since all the way back in May 2019 – he’s set to appear along with Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Guido hears from Reform sources that the party is chuffed that is keeping up his end of the bargain. He’s heading on The Sun‘s Never Mind the Ballots today, is set to appear alongside Richard Tice for an immigration conference tomorrow, and is out in Boston on Friday and Ashurst with Lee Anderson on Saturday.
