    Jeremy Corbyn

    Corbyn on Johnson v Corbyn can be summed up thus: Jobs, listen, *Sniff* new deal, explain priorities and decisions, *swallow hard* NHS not for sale, Climate Change emergency, *look at camera with disconcerting bad eye* no SNP deal, once in a generation election (Say whaaat?), *inhale* Dickens, Labour, poverty. Surprised he didn't get a mike to drop and walk off in triumph.

  12. I could be wrong but Bawjaws is taking credit for the invention of the electric car at the moment. The number of times he says "Ladies and Gentlemen" and enjoins the crowd to agree with him makes him look like a seaside entertainer from the 1970s. He is a real joke. An unfunny racist lying one.

    Nobel Prize In Death

    Not long after selling her Ontario home, report of the death of Literature laureate Alice Munro: However, having had another look, I'd guess this is probably a hoax. Most probably or even definitely. Anyway, Twitter can be a bite in the arse.
  19. Wait. China floods world with cheap steel Outrage as British Steel begins to fail. What now? Sell British Steel to China. OldWillz (who worked for British Steel for decades) would be outraged, it would probably have killed him if he wasn't dead already.
  20. Bawjaws does a Trump and announces provisions for service personnel and ex-service personnel on 11 November. Literally no depths to which this charlatan will sink to gain votes. Quite clearly Farage has struck a deal with Bawjaws in some way. Once again, these individuals put themselves before country. Do we have any certainty as yet where Bawjaws is standing? At the rate of stand downs, will there be anyone worth a Portillo moment?

    So, How’s Your 2020 Shortlist Looking?

    My main team is sorted, assuming they survive until 2020. TOTP Theme Team I normally start working on late November. Comedy Theme - there'll be no surprises - effectively mostly survivors from this year with a couple of well-known popular picks. In other words, I can add nothing.
