Mugwumps United

Boris Johnson called Jeremy Corbyn a "mutton-headed mugwump", which is rather ironic given thta one year ago Nicholas Soames called Johnson a mugwump as well!

The dictionary definition is:

"A person who remains aloof or independent, especially from party politics." But as it rhymes with "chump", it can be used to mean "idiot""

Blair Sticks The Knife Into Labour

Yowsers, Blair has told Sky May will be PM IF polls are right - that will endear him even more to Team Corbyn

Is Nicola Sturgeon a Laughing Stock?

Nicola Sturgeon appears to be becoming 'laughing stock' over her claim that the general election is not linked to independence.

That at least is the view of Ruth Davidson (Leader of the Scottish Tories).

A laughing stock?

Surely not!

Blair - The Sequel

Just when you thought it was safe, up pops Tony Blair advising people not to vote Labour but instead to vote Liberal Democrat or Tory where the candidate is not committed to a "hard Brexit".

For good measure Blair has also said he is considering returning to politics.

My advice is simple, stay where you are obviously doing the most good namely acting as a Middle East peace envoy.

Oh, wait....

The BBC is Evil and Corbyn Is Donald Trump

Jeremy Corbyn's brother, Piers, has come out swinging in the first day of the general election campaign.

He has called the BBC "evil", and described Jeremy as being like Donald Trump.

Usually, towards the end of a gruelling campaign, people and parties start to go mad. Labour has decided to start insane in the hope that they will be normal by the end of the campaign.

Good luck with that then!
