 I can't bear to watch Andy Burnham and listen to him drone on about... Well, nothing actually. What are his plans for the country? Does he know? The United Kingdom hasn't even elected him. This very fact should grate against his soul every time he looks in the mirror at the smarmy geezer grinning back. Andy Burnham - like so many people in politics today - wants only to be Prime Minister and the perks that come with the job. I don't hear him saying he CARES about BRITAIN. Rather, he goes on and on about the Labour party and how much he cares about it! Frankly, that disgusts me. And here is the very simple reason why: We, the good people of Britain, care about this great nation more - much much more - than we do the Labour party. Infact, we don't give a toss about that party or any party. Why the hell would we? All we want is a Real Leader (from any party) to Lead the country to better times. More Productive times. This country should be Excelling. Instead, we seem to b...

So Nigel Farage has resigned over the scrutiny of gifts given to him. How naive of him to think that in 2026, he wouldn't be put under the microscope for that (and anything else, for that matter).  It's quite right that he's resigned. Why do I say that? Well, it's only going to get tougher from here on for him and if he can't stand the heat now, then he should definitely get out.  (As a side note: Over a week ago, the word on the grapevine with people in the know, was that Farage was leaving anyway. Make of that what you will.)  I guess Nige has discovered that being a British MP isn't such a doddle as being an MEP in Brussels.  And the unfortunate people of Clacton are discovering a vote for Farage (and Reform) is at best a wasted vote and at worst, like shooting yourself in the foot. I doubt they will vote for him or Reform again. They need, like all of Britain needs, a real leader.  Sadly, there isn't one leader of calibre in the UK at present. There hasn...

            Face of Prime Minister in - waiting  Andy Doesn't Want to Leave Home Dear, oh dear. Looks like Andy Burnham is already home sick and has rushed off from London back to Manchester, where he made his first speech today. He looked visibly nervous to me.  His idea of "No.10 North" and running the country from there is clearly a feeble attempt to remain in his home town. But Andy, you can't run the country from home! His "Manchesterism" is sniggered at by more experienced politicians (if not everyone) and the press is going to have a field day with his creative new word. Poor Andy; he is like a scared young boy being sent off packing to the big school. And it doesn't look like he wants to go. This seemed to be validated when, after his speech, he refused to take questions from the press who were there for that very reason. Instead, he just walked away.  On a practical consideration, all travel is easier and quicker from London - should...
