The luxury of being an opposition party is you can promise what the fuck you like.

£12 billion when you factor in stamp duty.

Good to see the Conservative Party committed to keeping the deficit down by *checks notes* spending £2 billion giving tax breaks for private education, creating a massive new deportation force and pledging to maintain pensioner benefits.

Back in the day, we had our wedding reception there. Wasn't that posh back then mind...

Yes, I'm guilty of that and yes, you're right.
I guess it's my frustration with Farage being served up all day every day and twice on Sundays.

A paean to privatised public transport.

Today I had to go from Stockport to Salisbury. So I bought a ticket

Stockport > Bristol > Salisbury

The drive to Stockport should have taken 35 minutes. Satnav said it would take 2 hours, and I'd miss my train.

I need to re-home a dog. It's a small terrier, and tends to bark a lot. If you're interested, let me know and I'll jump over next door's fence and get it for you!

Look, I think she's fucking useless BUT...

I get where she's coming from with regards to the media's obsession with Farage - sure, his party is leading the polls but they've still, at this time, got a handful of MPs and getting way more coverage than they deserve.
Farage will be loving this.

Reminds me of the ventriloquist's doll I made from old bits of carpet. It was ruggish.

However, they did air just days later on Sunday and featured interviews with Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch

The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show
