I don't know if this trend has been mentioned

Nelson is one of the few writers in the DT who is worth reading for his perspective rather than unintentional comedy value. I'm surprised he's still in post.

I think someone may have mentioned it before (can’t remember who).

Has anyone ever seen that film 'Groundhog Day'?

Who needs Sonny & Cher on the radio when we can wake up to your posts every day? 😉

Ha, I'd not picked up that the Tories had deleted their silly poster. I'd guess King Brian complained.
I'd agree with the notion that this type of clickbait campaigning is corrosive to politics: to much policy seems to be made on the hoof just in order to wind the 'other side' up.
"Dragging the king and the England football team into politics was a bad idea, said Mark Borkowski, a PR consultant and author.
“This says a lot about how no strategic thought goes into social media,” he said. “It is a medium for clickbait and dogwhistle politics. The mistake most political parties and MPs make is that they don’t think before they tweet. Now dragging the king into a political debate indicates how foolish and thoughtless this is.”
Borkowski compared the move with the fact-free attacks made by Donald Trump during his presidential campaigns.
“There’s a generation bewitched by this sort of attitude, a Trumpian way of using social media. People see this is as a sketchpad for ideas about propaganda, but these aren’t disappearing tweets. It just shows a lack of strategy."

I suppose it comes as no surprise that Tories are lying yet again.

The only reason the Conservatives are not planning another tax on drivers is because they are not going to be in power after this year.
Any responsible prospective government should be considering it, but I'm not sure that it will be the mayor that does it, at least not for pay per mile, and definitely not in the next term.

The regular freezing of petrol tax the equivalent of what the bloated version of HS2 would have cost over the last 10 years.
Or 18 months of a state pension.

The OBR forecast is living in fantasyland as usual:
"receipts are expected to increase by £2.5 billion to £27.3 billion in 2025-26, due to the reversal of the 5p cut and RPI uprating of the duty rate. Receipts then gradually increase to £28.2 billion in 2028-29 as the subsequent RPI increases in the duty rate outweigh the continued decline in the volumes of fuel consumed driven by the shift to electric vehicles."

They better pull their finger out and put in some infrastructure for electric vehicles or it is indeed absolute fantasy land.

I meant the reversal of the 5p "temporary" cut in duty and the increase with inflation that is official government policy but nobody in government either supports or expects to happen.

It's an odd story for sure.

Well, with such a solid majority still, they shouldn't have any problems getting constructive legislation passed.

What’s the most MPs a Party has lost in a single term I wonder?
