After a hard week the last thing you wish to do is saunter out to the club for the men's meeting. However, I managed to make it just the same. The solitary pint of 'Brown & Mild' would see me through the evening. I would have had another but the lads glasses were getting low so I hesitated until I was sure they did not wish another, but they looked dry, so I remained seated...
A good evening putting the world to rights, sat alongside good men, even complimented on Sunday's efforts, though nobody could remember what I said. The Barmaid was happy to have us, there were only 4 others in last night, Monday being the quietest night, which is why we go then, and she told me the week before there was only one in, and he left early to allow her to close up and go off home.
I got home late.
The shock of David Cameron returning to government, albeit via the Lords, indicates something about the Tory Party today. It reveals the dearth of talent left on the more sensible side of the party, the word 'sensible' not to be taken to accurately. It shows the need for a calmer figure to appear, it shows that the baby eating former Home Secretary was a hindrance Sunak was keen to remove.
This does mean she will seek to replace him, though one voice from the meeting of what is now called the 'New Conservatives,' made clear 20 attended, 7 others on Zoom, and few, if any, had written to the 1922 Committee demanding an election for a new Leader. The incompetent Neo-Nazi is their front runner! That said, she may be popular in the party, but independent Polls, that is those not done by the right -wing media, claim she is very unpopular in the country, and that counts with the coup conspirators.
Meanwhile Sunak with his gentler money grabbing chancers is trying to offer something new.
Fat chance.
David Cameron did bring us the Brexit referendum which he lost, war in Libya, austerity through Osborne, and general decline, all because he was fighting Boris Johnson, and not doing his job. His Lobbying will also cause him troubles. Some say he cannot be questioned by the House of Commons as he is in the Lords, but surely the ex-ministers, the wide array of talent in that House are far better able to question him than the demented squirrels that represent Labour in the Commons? David Lammy anyone?

Fly, He speaks well of you....
Choosing Cameron was either the mark of sheer desperation in that Sunak wanted someone who wasn't squeaking and barking and eating his own trousers as foreign secretary. OR that he was hoping that he would puncture once and for all any notion anyone had that the time of Cameron and Osborne was a kind of Tory golden age. They only had to listen to a minute of Dave's sick making speech about how precious public service was to him...
Like today's caption!
Jenny, It is certainly an improvement on Suella, but not much else.
Jenny, Thank you!
