Those of a conspiratorial mind are alleging that Sunk's missis is making him run the most ham-fisted* campaign since records began to ensure that after the Tories are annihilated at the ballot box they can get settled back in California before the end of the school holidays.

Thanks Matt

With a wee bit of luck the dinosaurs of the Brexit supporting DUP in Norn Iron will get their comeuppance too. They only supported it in order to bring back the land boarder and undo 25 years of lovely peace in that part of the world.

Unlikely to happen unfortunately

Ive wondered if I’m enjoying the shit show just a bit too much. But no. Schadenfreude it is, and that is more than fine with me. Pile it on, the deeper the better. (and add that block head Ian Duncan Smith to your list).

On with show!

My tactical vote is, as they say, locked and loaded.

A very good essay. You don't hold back on calling a shit-show a shit-show; although the second part about Labour so far failing to show promise to actually want the hard task of rebuilding the many broken parts of the country and society is sobering.

(The same frustration that nominally social democratic parties are still chasing former-conservative to the middle and across into right-wing territory instead of standing up for human rights against the right-wingers is doubly frustrating because our SPD is doing the same).

I can't even feel Schadenfreude that these twats will loose their seats, knowing that they got high salaries for 14 years while ruining the country, and millions of people had to go to food banks - or pull their own teeth! - meanwhile.

They should all be put on trial; back in the "good old days" it was England who put a ship's captain on trial for making mistakes that crashed the ship. That would be "personal responsiblity", one of the fake Tory mantras. That would cause rejoicing in the streets.
