There were a couple of bye-elections the other night. Somewhere near Milton Keynes and… somewhere else, so far outside London as to be of no significance whatsoever. Ok, ‘significant’ in that it effects the constitution of our government, to a very small degree, but its a bye-election. “They mean nothing”. “Just protest votes”. All of which is true. Yet they show intentions. Trends. How big the ‘protests’ might be, when the real deal comes along later this year.

And I blame Nigel Farage. Regardless of what the question is.

The grinning smug-meister is already responsible for the greatest disaster this country has ever endured just by lurking. Because David Cameron was so scared of the beer-swilling Europhobic neo-nazi, lurking with his promises and other lies, that he felt compelled to ‘compete’ by offering a ‘yes/no vote on Europe’. And how did that work out?

Now The Tweed Jacket Wearer is making all sorts of insinuations about joining the Reform Party in more than the mere executive capacity he now holds. But maybe as… The Leader!!! And his presence on the ballot papers or even just as the nominal figurehead of a hopeless bunch of political misfits, (I treat all parties with respect, even ones that don’t deserve any), may put Rishi into more of an election panic than he already is. Its certainly put the Conservative Party in more of a spin than they already were due to the pre-election forecasts.

Some want Rishi replaced. Preferably with another MP, but they’d consider alternatives. Maybe poor people, circus entertainers, burger-flippers, XL Bullies. But that misses a big point. Which is that one of the things which has most pissed off voters is having had three Prime Ministers in the last 3 years. A fourth would not really help their piss-offedness. “We didn’t vote for Liz Truss ORRRRR Rishi Sunak!!!!”, they cry. Well, here’s a shocker, they didn’t need to. Nor will they be voting ‘for Kier Starmer’ unless they happen to live in Holborn & St Pancras. Kier’s always been popular with hookers and drug addicts. We don’t elect presidents here. We’re too civilised. We vote first past the post. So I’m personally hoping that the next PM will be ‘Johnny Come Lately’, riding in the 3.45 at Haydock Park. He can’t be any worse than the last 3 and I’ll be £42.63 better off.

There is talk of ‘uniting’ the ‘conservatives’. Like, all the right wing parties. Including Farage’s rag-tag bunch of close-the-border-ers.

Makes no difference anyway. It’s Kier’s to lose. His pledge to facilitate striking for Trade Unions lost him my vote. His stance against anti-semitism will lose him the entire left wing of his party, and because of his refusal to call for a ‘CEASEFIRE NOWWWWWW!!!’ in Gaza, his lost the entire Muslim vote too. Even though it would be a potent thing for him to do. America ‘demands’ a ceasefire and Israel ignore it. But I’m sure one word from… errrr… Kier Who???, and Netenyahu would lay down arms in a minute.

Have a super Sunday, I’m off to Merthyr Tydfil. What? You’re not going too??
