Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a modest 3/10; my score was 4/10, being questions 2, 4, 8 (an educated guess), and 10.

Translates to a Commons with about 331 Reform UK MPs (small majority), 71 Greens (extremely weak official Opposition), 64 LibDems, 62 Cons, 50 Lab, 45 SNP [etc].

As in all other recent polls over the past couple of months, on those figures Starmer would lose his own seat.

Interesting. In the UK, you would probably get a response within an hour, or a few hours, or be directed to some online website, but nothing would actually be done for weeks, or months, if at all.

Late tweets

Starmer’s lukewarm stance or fencesitting stance re. Iran/Israel and the war will please few, if any.

Starmer is being pulled both ways, and his misgovernment is all over the place.

You read it here first (some time ago).
