One wonders if Mrs AK realises what she is there for!
Maybe she regards Atom and his "pumping requirements", as a "labour of love!" =))

The only pumping I can imagine him getting from most of the ladies I know, would be with a large steel toe-capped boot right up his jacksie!

The poor old Guardian is trying to salvage something from the wreckage, despite a never ending campaign against Boris, the BBC, C4 and the Guardian are still trying to come to terms with the fact that Boris is very popular.

The electorate read and hear about wallpaper and sleaze accusations, (no actual facts though) and then look at what the alternatives are. Despite John Bercow claiming that Macron blockaded Jersey in order that Boris could send in the RN and boost his ratings no-one believes any of it.

Boris is achieving things, Starmer is impotent and is achieving nothing, people see this and vote accordingly, the lefties just don't get it, at all, none of it.

Until labour accept that mainstream Britain don't want to be in the EU, don't want their statues thrown in rivers, don't want their taxes spent on nonsense, don't want immigrants telling them they are racist and do want to benefit from a strong society then they will remain unelectable.

Sorry Guardian, that is just how it is, but don't worry, there will soon be someone disembarking from a dingy ready to advise us of our shortcomings, you can print that.

A quote from the Daly Fail, that I believe has a modicum of truth:
Ed Miliband, Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer – all lived within a ten-minute bus ride of each other in fashionable metropolitan north London. Is it time we looked to the unfashionable north of England and picked a working class leader?’

Not exactly working class!

I always say he was a professional politician, he joined the Labour Party as there was less competition in the ranks.
If he'd joined the Conservative Party he wouldn't have become the leader.

My Tutor in Lincoln had exactly the same opinion. Career option.

During Burnham's interview after winning the mayoral election in Manchester, he gave the usual politician's evasive reply. He tried to rule it out at the moment, but if he was "approached" ...........

If your Labour Party is similar to our Labor Party here in Oz, then they too should be renamed as The Kentucky Fried Chicken Party--full of left wings and
arseholes.
Yes Oz Labor do spell it that way.

And the same left wing unions?
What the wharfies did to Australian troops - and their nation's war effort - between 1939 and 1945 is nothing short of an abomination.

But it wasn't just Oz labour
For many trades unionists, the two world wars offered the perfect opportunity to blackmail their employers and the government into giving them better terms and conditions of service, and for expanding union power, with the threat that the country would suffer if the government and their employers didn’t give in. All too often the government did surrender, or pressured private sector employers to do so.

A former actress (or should that be actor?) becoming mayor? What could possibly go wrong?
