I’ve been engaged in politics for about 55 years. Campaigns have rarely made a big difference, certainly not big enough to overturn a 21% deficit. And Labour can win a solid majority with less than half that number. Which you should know. But either don’t, or don’t want to?

So Rishi Sunak just took a question from a hi-vis jacket-wearing man at a campaign event in a McVities warehouse. It turns out the man is actually local Conservative councillor Ross Hills. Hills just admitted to me to being asked to appear at the event bylinetimes.com/2024/05/23/ris…

He'd stand if he thought he could win a seat, but the truth is he'd lose, and that would damage his brand. Farage’s entire image and powers rests on the considerable myth that he's a popular man of the people. He isn't

Britain has had enough of politicians sucking up to Murdoch and powerful press interests.  This election, I'll be making the case for politicians with the guts & integrity to stand up for the public. Keir Starmer Rishi Sunak Ed Davey Carla Denyer
