The next election is shaping up to be a seriously interesting clusterf*$#. You have the forever purse lipped and slightly clammy Dave, spooked by the scotland referendum, middle east reigniting and defections and Tory votes going to UKIP. Farage has become much more than just an annoyance. He's still reliant on the Lib Dems for power but the past coalition and the terminally ineffective Clegg have been disastrous for that party.


Daves announcement of income tax cuts for the squeezed middle without any indications as to what will pay for that is a cheap last ditch vote winning ploy given the current budget deficit. More will follow in the autumn statement in December.


Meanwhile poor Labour. Whilst all of the above holds true re Milliband, the thought of him as PM is laughable. Never has it had a leadership that lacks such backbone and conviction. I can see only one outcome - a toothless interim coalition, further public disillusion and the left moving further left and the right move further right.


And Boris?......seriously???


Never have I been less tempted to use my hard won right to vote.

It may be cheap, but it ought to do the trick.


Nothing says 'vote for me' quite like someone stuffing a fat roll of fifties into your top pocket.

    • He looks like the human version of the 😡 emoji. I'm sure he's lovely in real life (whoever he is).
    • Absolutely, Insuflo I very much doubt that anyone other than football fans would have heard of Dyche, much less his views on false number nines, mobile centre halves  dropping into midfield or diamond formations. But all middle-aged, portly, bald, gruffly spoken football fans from north of the capital who eschew fancy Dan tactics for the traditional, English merits of 4-4-2 shall be deemed knuckle-dragging Neanderthals by the Wokerati and the Metropolitan Elite. They care not what his views are, only that he looks like the sort of person who may have them. It's political correctness gone mad. But they, unlike Dyche, won't have a pub named after them.
    • I'm afraid I have no idea who Sean Dyche is, but I'm sure I could research him (and his views on library refurbishment timetables, if any) on any of the Southwark libraries' internet access computers. Free for any library member!
    • So that suggests the consultations with 'community' are just a tick box exercise where information given cannot be relied on. Not a good look. I hope Renata Hamvas who is the local councillor, as well as licensing, finds a way to stop the wholesale, spreadingmonetisation of an important green space in summer. If they get this it'll end up like Brockwell Park before you know it.
