This is the ending of The Chair Company
He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028.

This is all very funny stuff. Imagine believing in Keir Starmer at any point, you'd need to be doing some serious reflection on what it is you think a politician should be
Am told Eluned Morgan, First Minister of Wales, is going to follow Anas Sarwar in calling for the PM to stand down;
Also that there will be "Scottish MP ministerial resignations" afterwards
Ministers saying it's the end game...

Journalist: "What do you say to reports that you were aware these deportation airplanes stopped in Shannon?"
Micheál Martin & Simon Harris, in unison: "That's an absolutely reprehensible assertion, how dare you, what a repugnant claim, you're not giving us any credit for the work we've done"

Watched that Muppets special last night. So much fun. A set absolutely stuffed with Muppets. So many Muppets it works as a 45 minute sight gag. I spent most of it laughing at some Muppet that would catch my eye in the background.
Rizzo's song was the highlight for me.
