Welcome to it. Seven past six. Now, under normal circumstances, I would, if I was Prime Minister, avoid the Dumb Brigade. They, in general terms, preside in music, radio and or on podcast platforms. It's the arena of the num-nup behaviour.
Always a trap. Anthony Albanese, of course, found this out a couple of weeks ago when he was offered an option of who to shag or marry and ended up bumbling through an answer that suggested he would shag Kylie Minogue and that the Rabbitohs were some sort of aphrodisiac. He almost... He almost immediately apologised, as he should. Paul Henry suggesting he would shoot Chris Hipkins is our new version as of yesterday. This came, one, off the back of the Nash mess. For the record, a completely different set of circumstances. And two, what appears to be a newfound desire to be outraged. Labour are outraged. My fear... This election campaign is there is more where this came from. Nash is an idiot with form and his comments weren't funny or even in the entertainment realm.
Henry, who also has form, but in the this could be funny or could be a bridge too far category, gets away with it this time because of the setting, i.e. a music radio station looking for giggles and also because Labour need to be careful with their attitude. outrage habit henry also gets away with it because he currently is merely a citizen it will be different potentially if he is one an mp and even more different if he is two a cabinet minister elbow didn't get away with it because one he isn't funny at the best of times and two just look like a dirty old man but more importantly three because he's a pm and pms need to be beyond reproach citizens can do what they like mps need to be one rung up from that cabinet ministers need to be pretty squeaky clean and pms need to be saint-like artificially so hence we don't attract normal people to represent us anymore labor need a sense of humor and the ability to manufacture their outraged opportune times not any times and it is still only july and i'm over this election already and it hasn't even started henry will be back for more of this
I wouldn't rule laws out saying something random. Jones is clearly building a head of steam. And my bet is before November 7, someone we haven't even thought of will end up doing something weird, creepy or mental. All I can say is be patient. It's only just begun.
News of the world in 90 seconds.
Day four, the boom in momentum shows no signs of letting up today. It's a tax cut for hospo. Well, some hospo, bits of hospo, and even the hospo that get it aren't thrilled.
It's worth between about three and five pounds a day to a pub. And I'm really surprised it's decided to target pubs and live venues, but not cafes, not restaurants, not hotels. It feels like any support should be hospitality-wide.
Small problem about how he pays for it as well.
You can't see all businesses the same. Some do real good in communities. And this pub, where we are today, right in the heart of the community here in Harlow, bringing people together, that's an older lady's mental health group.
Yeah, you've got to support an older lady's mental health group, don't you? Brian Eno, the father of ambient music and member of the Patriotic Millionaires Club, has a plan. It would be better if we paid more tax and if... The conditions for ordinary people were better than they are now. I mean, we can see how disaffected people are by the way politics is going. Kimmy, still banging on about yesterday's freebie. Andy Burnham's answer is to cap one price and send the bill somewhere else.
