A writer not a fighter… except in good causes. Sadly, despite noble resistance, the Observer (a very good cause) has now been thrown to the dogs of the marketplace by the Guardian, who proved to be, “an unreliable ally”.

Thanks for that. A key stat though is 29% of those tactical voters switched from Labour. Also, it was Lib Dems who also benefited hugely. Labour won back huge slices of its northern votes. Not as simple as saying Labour was gifted an anti-Tory vote.

It’s like, “blah blah and more blah” with TACOS. The man is a coward, a bully and a liar.

Still no match for Jim Higgs, who went runless through an entire Ashes tour. Legend.

In the Guardian two days ago - but welcome, nonetheless.

I did, Gaby. Just making the obvious point, perhaps. Nothing personal.

That’s partly on the media, Gaby.

It’s your call, mate - but maybe overestimating the impact of your departure?

#WIvAus And Green goes for 3, caught in the gully. How can the Aussie selectors possibly think he’s a top-order bat? At best, a belligerent No7 and second-change bowler.

Trump doesn’t so much resemble Hitler as Mussolini, with that jutting jaw, stiff neck and preposterous macho posturing. Thinks he’s a Mafia Don. More like Donna.

Think it will crack up early. V patchy.

Daft question in the first place, mate. We had has much control as anyone wanted, over borders and laws that mattered. Don’t fall for the false argument.

Yep. Simply put, the unvarnished truth.

A few salient points: Bull is no longer a practising doctor. Nor is he a politician anymore. He is an unelected figurehead of a company, not a political party. To avoid confusion when he no doubt makes his many appearances on Question Time…

Meanwhile, the best attacking bowler in the country, Adil Rashid, remains in short-form mode, where he shines. Surely the fitness issues that forced him away from Test cricket have now passed. Or maybe he just doesn’t fancy the grind.

Not sure anyone will lose. In London, for instance, it’s universal.

Masterful deconstruction. I’ve had similar “conversations” where the apology becomes surreal, pathetic and scary.

Five parties aren’t in contention. That’s the point. It’s Labour, 10-1 the field. Ask any bookie.

This is statistical nonsense. To win the required 326 seats to put Labour out of power, Farage and his motley crew would need a swing of 31% across the board! In hundreds of seats they’d need way more than that. They have precious few credible candidates, a rag-bag of nutters and misfits. So, not on
