I am. The force/support behind the pair of them is too strong (possibly more prototcol/political games in the Dems). There is almost no chance of anyone else getting the nominations from either side, so I can't see anyone else other than these two becoming the next POTUS. Trump is nailed on...

I'll join in too. I've never met Dennis Healey, but I heard (before I actually saw) Iain Paisley Snr (which sounds a bit like Healey) at Stuttgart airport. As for the U-turn thing, it's way beyond rich for ANY Tory to start having a pop at any other party reversing policies....

I know - and I appreciate that (sorry if that didn't come across). It was a more general question, not just to you!

So, coming back to my first question, why can't/didn't he say something like: "The general election will probably* be in the second half of this year."? *I'd even settle for "...most likely be..."

Why can't these people speak normally? What the cock is a 'working assumption', FFS?

Not really. I'd say exactly the same if it was a Sunak speech. Supporters of one 'side' are NEVER going to have anything positive to say about the other 'side' are they?

EFA.

I think you probably are, but then you're correct with the rest of it. As I've noted before (and it stands up, given the brief glimpses of Starmer's speech I've seen, not to mention how the other 'side' carry on) the election is going to be played out with far more "The Tories/Labour are...

To be fair, if a speech went into *that* level of detail about pretty much any subject, it would be pretty dull and would lose the room in 30 seconds or less. I've sat through enough 'keynote' presentations that effectively turn into sales pitches and they are literally enough to send you to...

That the population feels downtrodden, apparently (according to your earlier post).

At least let the guy give his speech, FFS! But, even then – as seen with the Thatcher comment – it all gets blown WAY out of proportion. Sounds like NC is trying to go a bit TalkShite or Jeremy Vine by deliberately trying to start arguments...

I'm not him, so I can't answer that question. But I'm guessing that whichever stance he took, it would be the 'wrong' one for a certain section of his party :shrug:

If a single ruling political party is divided - as both the main ones seem to be - what hope have we ACTUALLY got? And we're not talking minor disagreements over relatively small policies - these are seemingly polar opposite views on major global issues. No wonder I think the whole thing is a...

It's just journalism – or reporting on what actually happened.

For the UK, the Labour Party Conference next week could be politically-defining.
