No, no, Rupert. The cabbies speak perfect English but they find your patois difficult to understand. As do many of us
Voters are smarter than you think, John . Farage is obviously a snake oil salesman. He has no policies except Brexit and a strange interest in crypto and his dodgy mates
Try this . You’re being conned

That’s way off target, Marcus. You may disagree with Burnham, but that doesn’t make him a liar, let alone a mobster and thief with a seriously unhealthy personality
Sorry to hear things look so bleak in Yarmouth, Rupert. It looked better when u last visited a while ago
To those MPs, usually Labour, constantly banging on about Bangladesh, Pakistan, Palestine? I have the following advice...
Go to your constituency and LOOK AROUND.
Dump, after dump, after dump.
Society collapsing, public services non-existent, schools crumbling away.
The contract between the state and the taxpayer has completely broken down.
We are on the verge of something quite ugly.
So I wish the Bangladeshis over there well, I really do. But to be brutally honest, I just don't care.
Our concern, as British MPs, should be about what is happening in our constituencies, our communities, our country.
OBVIOUSLY.
But Stash, in saying that you’re falling into Putin and Steve Bannon’s plan. “ Food the zone with shit” so no one believes anything, said Bannon. Don’t do it. Check stuff out. It’s not hard. Trump said it
Farage on air to attack AB on EU moves, but ducks economic costs+details. Only detailed bill Reform has drafted was on crypto. Wonder why ? Cd it be to help Trump-pardoned spiv & Reform donor, Ben Delo. See TBIJ investigation
And you

Your tribalism is showing again Michael.
Fixed election cycles are the norm in democracies. I wish people were less tribal like you and more concerned about the national good.
I don’t think we disagree on that
Replying to @michaelwhite
Whether it was well judged or not doesn’t change the fact that we have a default 5 year election cycle
No, I didn’t suggest that. Major went to the 5 year limit and won, well judged, John, but : D Home (64) lost, as did Callaghan (97) and Brown (10). Cameron too (15), come to think of it
Replying to @michaelwhite
No, we have a 5 year election cycle. You’re meant to be a political commentator. The fact that PMs often go to the electorate after 4 years doesn’t mean it isn’t, by definition, an early election. By your logic, Major in 92, breached electoral law.
That’s not your smartest post, Jerry
Replying to @sorelaboursbath @michaelwhite
We did briefly toy with having a fixed election cycle but Labour & Conservatives agreed that putting country before party was a bad idea and they preferred the option to have elections to suit themselves.
Valid point though I disagree about 2027. But that’s ok. Best wishes

Burnham may well call an election sometime next year but no way will he go for 10 December this year. Nothing is more guaranteed to instantly destroy Labour's current lead than forcing voters to go the polls in an unnecessary pre Christmas election.
Fair point, but I always try to answer real questions as distinct from populist claptrap, often vicious, often straight from trolls
Replying to @michaelwhite
It’s an effective way of putting someone down, I’ll grant you that.
It’s also a great way to duck questions that - however daft - are often very real for the questioner.
No
I am no conspiracy theorist, but there is no way that Labour are on 30% in the polls and 6% in front of Reform.
It is impossible that there are that many uneducated people out there.
My theory is that Reform voters have been telling pollsters that they would vote Labour.
This would then make it look like Labour had a huge lead.
Burnham would then call an election because he is desperate to have his own mandate and then we could get rid of him.
Does anyone buy my idea?
