"The apathy starts at the top. Conservative central office is a dead zone these days. There’s no one to be seen. Almost every cabinet minister has disappeared to watch repeats of Pointless. Their best chance of retaining their seats is to dissociate from Rish!."

I see Keir Starmer is making a big thing about Rishi Sunak lying during the first election TV debate... I know why he needs to do this but...

Its an election...

Sunak's a Tory....

This is, I'm afraid, just the thin end of the wedge of what we'll be seeing in the next five weeks... sure call it out, but we shouldn't expect anything different....

And before you say it, I'm sure Starmer will be accused of lying about stuff too... and maybe rightly!
