How's that low regulatory/low taxes thinking coming along Frosty?... amazing that Brexiters like David Frost can?t see that they?d have a better chance of low taxes if they hadn?t just overseen a trade deal estimated to reduce tax revenues by ?40bn a year

A couple of points picked up in the by-election aftermath... Postal votes which were cast before the Partygate revelations broke, were heavily in Lib Dems favour, suggesting they didn't play a significant role in people's thinking/voting. Rather, NS is a strong rural/farming area, lots of unhappiness about Brexit being bad for UK farmers as witnessed in the detail of the recent Australia/NZ trade deals.

Ooooh, what a coincidence... Bluster is all they've got...

Lord Frost reportedly furious with the terms of his resignation after negotiating them himself....:)

All together now... ''That's not my Brexit!'' That Frost is considered in some Brexit quarters as a political heavyweight shows what an intellectual vacuum still exists at the heart of Brexit. Frost, the UK's chief negotiator of the 'oven ready deal', lauding what a fantastic deal it was, only to then, a few months later, castigate it as a terrible deal. I guess he needed that time to Google what he'd actually signed up to...

And the spokesperson in that video which got the whole Partygate ball well and truly running was another Allegra...

So, the bloke in charge of the investigation into the bloke in charge of No.10 communications, and presumably behind the PM's line ''There was no party'' for the past week, who turned out to have been at the party handing out awards to the assembled staff, turns out to have been at another party.

Dan Hodges (Mail on Sunday opinion writer) hasn't heard of tactical voting... On the by-election. Disastrous result for Boris. But a pretty terrible result for Starmer as well.

Tories are saying "he's on a final warning" But in reality... there can't be long if they want to win next election. Indeed, but it might even be too late for that, as a rather big, dark slow-moving Covid/Brexit cloud has appeared called rising living costs. I think electorally they might already be screwed...

What I've noticed in the past when I've made a prediction and then the game has later been postponed, is that the rearranged game appears with the original prediction, which can be amended up to the new kick-off time as per normal...

When the Owen Patterson scandal broke, I believe it gained a lot of 'cut-through' because the Tories couldn't tag Brexit onto the scandal. Likewise the latest Partygate scandals. For a while, Brexit has been the Tories silver bullet, aided and abetted by Remain friendly parties not co-operating. What's eye-opening about this result is that NS is VERY Brexity, yet the Tories were unable to tap into that sentiment anymore. Once you take away Brexit, the Tories, and Johnson in particular, flounder...

And here's the sample...

Week 15 points... Week 15 table...

What seph said, you can criticise the perceived privatisation of the NHS without knocking the staff...

It's one of the safest Tory seats, so if it did go to the Lib Dems then it could well be the final nail. Even if Johnson does go, there's no one of much merit to take over, I mean, Liz Truss is one of the favourites, gawd help us!...

By my reckoning, 6 out of 8 players got the correct score last night!...

So, the bloke in charge of No.10 communications, and presumably behind the PM's line ''There was no party'' for the past week, turns out to have been at the party handing out awards to the assembled staff. The sheer, utter contempt they have for the truth and the public is off the scale...
