She corrupted Harry and turned him against his family. That's why they most want to go for a drink with him to try and talk him round.

It would make sense when they're going to have to go to all the faff of changing the coins and stamps to not have someone who's already about 80 or something.

But they don’t decommission all of the old monarch coins. I remember there being coins with ‘the king’s head’ in them when I was a kid (when 10p coins were big enough to eat your dinner off, and sometimes said ‘TWO SHILLINGS’ on them).

How does that "Best Prime Minister" metric work on that Mail survey?

Only one of the two options given has been Prime Minister.

I can't think of any way of wording the question that might have been asked for that one that is remotely fair.

Whilst it's probably a good idea that we don't build railway lines without considering how it might be detrimental to local residents and the environment, a high-speed east-west line has been in the works for ages and just seems such an obvious benefit to the country I don't get why we're still debating it.

Of course, my views on HS2 might be different were my house in the way...

It's utterly appalling. I used to get so angry about Labour's attack on freedom when they were in (remember the Coalition's "protection of freedom" bill?). I've just become so dulled by the continual onslaught of nastiness from this bunch that I can't get outraged by everything. But it plays well with the people they get their support from, who seem to get offended if people dare to raise climate change or racism etc with them.

I'm also absolutely sickened by the response to people drowning in the Channel. Words fail me at time.

Germany's new administration takes over today, with Olaf Scholz becoming Chancellor.

Can't help noticing that his first foreign trips are announced as Paris and Brussels, and that the traffic-light coalition* agreement includes warnings about Northern Ireland. Britain doesn't matter anymore, and is seen as an untrustworthy neighbour. How far will this country continue fall before it comes to its senses?

*I love the terms used to describe coalition possibilities over there.

BBC breakfast pointed out that there is always a government minister for the 7:30am interview, but for some reason nobody was available despite Sajid being booked to cover the vaccine anniversary.

To be leader of the Tory party, there is only a memory of three months. In that 3 months you need 2 of the following 3 properties.
1. Charisma
2. Covertly Incompetent
3. Covertly Evil

Boris fails at 2, but succeeds at 1 and 3. However it's been decided that his time is up.
Rishi is an option, he generally succeeds at all 3 to some level, but isn't a shining light in any.
Truss only has 3, fails at 1 and 2.
Shapps is the same as Truss.
Raab is the same, 3, but no 1 or 2.
Hancock is the same too!
Patel has 2 covered, but not 3. 1 could be argued for, as it's impossible to be literally satan without some pull, so Patel is a candidate.
Reese-mogg has 1 and 2, but fails dismally at 3. Makes him a candidate, though...

After all that, the best way to play the game is to not play the game. So my prediction for PM is Gove, as he started his campaign early by going completely AWOL 3 months ago, so doesn't have to play by the above rules.

Post subject:  Re: Political Banter and Debate Thread

I reckon he's the one leaking the party pictures.
Knowing the Tory membership, the next leader will probably be Truss or Patel. We're screwed.
