Jeremy Corbyn

What now?

That exit poll!  What a shock!  A big majority for Johnson and the Conservative party? No! Oh please, no! There was a view that I held, amongst many others, that at the very least we didn’t want to give Boris Johnson a mandate for Brexit or anything else for that

One week to go – some random thoughts

One week to go to a critically important election, which is not, for me anyway, about that excruciating divisive dilemma, the Brexit thing, but how our country will be run for the next five years. What do we want? Boris Johnson’s vision or Jeremy Corbyn’s? So here re: their visions,

Finally, there’s an election, but who will win?

Well, there we are, yesterday Johnson saw the Queen, Parliament was dissolved, and the election campaign officially began, although unofficially the promises were emanating from both parties weeks ago. But oh, good grief. I am, as you probably have guessed, a politics geek and an enthusiastic watcher and reader of

The dark and the light – a week of contrasting styles and disciplines

Early last week we had a Supreme Court ruling, which was the epitome of the highest critical thinking you could find, written in beautiful lucid prose, and delivered calmly by a quiet yet authoritative voice, which now seems almost forgotten after the truly repellent response from our executive the following

What have we become?

I ask this question as we are living through extraordinary times and we need to be alert to the events that are happening right in front of our eyes.  And then there’s the question as to how Boris de Pfiffle is doing as the leader of the United Kingdom? Not

The Never-ending Story could end this week – or then again, maybe not

Nowadays nearly every week is a critical week. Last week was – yet it seemed to end with a dribbling away of tension.  They didn’t work over the weekend either. They, being Mrs May and Corybn and perhaps the Cabinet. How unlike the rest of us they are.  In any

Are we in a kind of hell?

Oh boy, Twitter was on fire! Brexiters were appalled and incandescent. Remainers, meanwhile, while not exactly over the moon, were thrilled that at last someone had said exactly what they see as the essence of the current situation. What was the fuss all about? Well. Donald Tusk, the EU Council’s president,

The Shitstorm is Now or Is It? – Part 2

In this post I’ll continue to give you a day-by-day account of a week, which is not yet finished. A deeper analysis will come in another post –  probably next year!  Anyway, Lenin’s quote should now read: There are decades when nothing happens and hours when decades happen.”  As things really

The Shitstorm is Now Part 1

Or look at it this way. Having said for nearly two years that nothing is happening, Lenin’s quote is very apt, “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” The past week has been interesting and as for this week……   So again, like the last post

What’s happening?

What’s happening? Well a lot has happened since my last post, and then again nothing has happened, apart from a great deal of shouting. Because nothing is agreed, although I qualify that with, actually, there are things that are agreed over the water in the EU, and then not a lot
