Yep I said it. Better? I don't think they are comparable. Both are excellent in their fields. Can't see Clarkson making a nature doc interesting without some silly jokes like Attenborough can, Attenborough certainly wouldn't be any good for Clarkson's TopGear style entertainment. They are both bril...

The party that want to send brown people to Rwanda, tried to ban all forms of protest and just did a huge speech about how badly they want to fudge the poor and disabled over again truly is fighting over the centre ground Miles to the left of what the country wants on immigration.

He would need a miracle. But he doesn't even want one. He'll be more than content to spin his period as PM to his advantage and to be right out of the country he has helped mess up. The hung parliament proposition based on local govt. election results has little to do with a FPTP GE. And whilst I d...

Some of the Mainstream pollsters are going with this, so are they delusional muppets too? The polling experts disagree. Do you think it's fair to use local election results to predict the general election? (and they haven't taken in to account how Labour are gaining in Scotland) Or do you think the...

The spending from Starmer will still be legendary and on stupid things. They’ll still arbitrarily tax further and further into agerage earners and still take us closer to bankruptcy and interest rates soaring. They’re already promising far more “untax revenues” spending than the apparent Liz Truss ...

As a very interested outsider : Are the Tories moving further right as stupid a move as Labour moving to the left with Corbyn? We saw the majority Boris got when most Brits didn't like what a gov under a Corbyn government could look like. Is the same true for a Tory party lurching further to the ri...

everyone, or 2 or 3 souls who claim to represent the one true position? the Tory party is going to struggle if they've giving up on being a broad church, and that does rather leave them continuing down the route of populism, nationalism, division and indeed Trump The problem with the Tory party is ...

Swinney elected unopposed. I usually see that as a bad thing, think Brown or May who ended up a mess because they couldn't lay out exactly what their leadership vision should look like and get buy-in form the party. I suspect a honeymoon period and then infighting when he attempts something unpopula...

It's all up to Spurs to do Arsenal a favour..

Sadly it looks that way. I also think Fulham have a better chance of taking points off City than Spurs.

This might be true, Labour are currently trying to sell themselves as sensible British patriots and turning away from their traditional alliances in diasporas.
