I agree about the third way. Although it may have been The Sun giving Blair their endorsement which really swung it. Going back to the demographic shi...
I agree about the fear of the left with Corbyn, that it pushed people to vote Tory. But I differ in that I see this as primarily due to a smearing of ...
Perhaps you haven’t been following the negative effects of Brexit closely. They are mounting daily, for example and there are hundreds of stories like...
Pragmatism, I agree about the excesses of Corbyn mania, but the current leadership is moderate on EU membership. A pragmatic approach to deal with the...

I appreciate your thoughts on the issue and that you would rather not talk about it. I would agree with you in regard of a number of Conservatives, al...
I can’t comment much on France as I don’t receive much news from there. I would expect that there was also some industrial decline in the face of glob...

Quite, I could never understand why Thatcher didn’t produce a sustainable industrial strategy. Had we not been in the EU she would probably have negle...
As I have said, the Tory’s are finished once they are demonstrably an economic failure. All they’ve got now is more austerity, this cuts the legs out ...
Yes, in policy terms the gov is no worse than Thatcher. Although following 10yrs of austerity with another 10 to come, the effect on the institutions ...
Well the difference between us then is that I see this as a significant departure from the norm and you see it as part of the normal rebranding of the...
My rationale is that Tory’s have been in crisis following the growth of UKIP and the fallout from the financial crisis of 2008. Alongside these issues...

Yes, there aren’t any Brexit supporters now. I was being bold in my comment, party to flush out any Brexit supporters lurking. Harsh words regarding t...
You give Johnson an inch, he will take a mile. Anyway, any alternative to implementation of the protocol is no solution. Except, for NI leaving U.K. a...
The problem for the EU is that if they make a concession the U.K. gov’ will grab it and ask for more while shouting even louder that the EU is bullyin...
What you focus in on amounts to the same thing. SNP are a failure, we know that they are now the dominant party, so by extension devolution is a failu...

No, I don’t do anything like that, I’m mainly a cartoonist. The only other platform you’ll find me on is Twitter. #punshhh and I’m not the shady Russi...
Oops, I should have said that the EU has banned the import of live shellfish from the UK. This will put the whole industry out of business. https://ww...
The UK’s procurement was independent of the joint EU scheme. But this is nothing to do with Brexit, the UK would have been independent anyway if we we...
