That Political Stuff

Well folks seeing as I work for the top political monitoring company in the UK I had better venture into the area of debate, hullabaloo and oops cocked up expenses form again!

What is happening these days on the political front, the whole thing just seems to be turning into one big soap opera. Just why did Theresa May invite Joe Pasquale attired in a dress to have a chat at No 10?  Is panto season coming early? Apart from being a parcel delivery service, who are the DUP? Or maybe it is DUPE, mmm, not sure about that one. Just what was going through Theresa May's mind at that signing?...... 

"Oh bugger! All bloody Junckers fault. When they said Jean-Claude wanted to speak to me on the phone I thought they meant Van Damme, the line was so bad when he said "bring it forward" I thought he was referring to my kick boxing lesson. A disaster! I could have been power walking the HS2 route!"

Now from an insider at No 10.......   
Larry the No 10 cat was observed practicing high kicks in the No 10 garden. When asked about his strange behavour he said, "oh man, its all cat nip and warm prosecco in there, sheeeeeeh! Michael Gove is even drinking it from his new green welly boots! All on expenses of course. He is going on about practicing chucking cowpats. Or at least I think that is what he said."

Oh dear, Michael Gove, the more and more I see him he just seems to be morphing into Elmer Fudd. Hope to god nobody sticks a gun in his hand and he emulate his lookalikey, stomps around fields shooting rabbits (or should I say wabbits!), foxes and any other poor unsuspecting creature that crosses his path in the name of countryside pursuits. One could say he has found his niche in life, tippy toe through the cowpats, through the cowpats he will tippy toe.

What is happening with the Lb Dems?  With Tim Farron becoming Cliff Richard's understudy we now have another leadership election. During the last couple of years UK political parties have undergone so many leadership changes it has been impossible to keep up with just who is running which party. Although the one time significant UKIP party certainly corners the market with the game "Who's Our Leader Today Folks?" Nobody seems to have raised themselves above the parapet for the Lib Dems, apart from Vince Cable, at 74 the oldest Lib Dem MP. Who else is there to be honest, he would be a safe pair of hands but not a long term fix. What about Ed Davey or Norman Lamb? Both had positions in the coalition. Ed Davey might be considered too "posh" as he lives in Surbiton, smacks a bit of The Good Life, memories of Margo and Gerry, happy days, but maybe a tad Toryish!. Norman Lamb and Tom Brake are both in their 50s, possibly the right age for a new leader? The only possible female candidate was, Jo Swinson, who has since ruled herself out. Once the Lib Dems have got themselves sorted could a Tory leadership battle be next on the horizon?  Hold on to your Prosecco and Pringles, the saga is not over yet.

The emphasis on Vince Cable's age has been the butt of many a joke recently. Infact, the same Vince Cable joke was used on both the Graham Norton Show and Mock The Week within a couple days of each other proving that the BBC are even saving money on script writers. With Blue Peter on the skids and EastEnders ratings plummeting could there be more axes falling at the BBC?  I did watch an episode of Blue Peter some time ago and it was awful.  Oh for the days of John, Val, Peter, Petra, Jason, Shep and Patch, sticky back plastic, squeezy bottles and elephant poo on the studio floor.  To hell with BBC 3 internet CBB whatever stuff, the magic has gone, the Blue Peter flag should be taken down in respect of our past heroes.time capsule

Back to politics now and the SNP have found a "get out of jail card" re LOSING A BUCKET FULL OF SEATS AT THE ELECTION. That card says BREXIT!!  Yes folks, the SNP have decided to concentrate on Brexit and put the second indy vote on hold thereby distracting everyone from their disastrous showing at the election. I think it may well be a while before INDY VOTE 2 will be brought back onto the agenda. The sensible heads within the SNP must certainly realise that the majority of lost seats were down to the dislike of the ordered second indy vote. The Tories are now the main opposition in Scotland which at least doesn't make it feel quite such a one party state.  It is certainly on the cards that Ruth Davidson will be a strong candidate for Tory leader in the future. One feels it won't be too long before she is sitting in the Commons. Despite your political leanings in Scotland, it is undoubtedly an amazing fact that all main political parties are lead by women. Glass ceiling smashed one thinks, well almost.
