Live in Downing St!

Wise words sir. Very well put. Apathy has come from having had 7 Prime Ministers in 10 years. Cheers and best wishes to you.

It does seem so, and now the media is moving on and already talking about who/what/where for the next momentous changes. An insatiable appetite for new news, the more scurrilous the better.

Great timing, in London on this, not so, momentous day - as you say. British politics has changed beyond recognition in the past 10 years. We have zero concentration span, insta, facebook and this medium is huge driver. The idea that I would be following and tweeting from Japan!

If you fancy a beer one evening after you finish your teaching, please let me know. It would be great to see you.

Will be in touch dear Ricky, be great if we can catch up!

Thanks Bendor. Yes it would!

Or maybe a reflection of Starmer’s personality and unpopularity?

Great analysis. And now I come to think of it. You are right.!

So true…

You are so right, I was saying this morning that this would not have happened 40 or 50 years ago. It seems in this era, those empowered with reporting the news are having a rather wild time influencing the news.

Erm… he appointed the best friend of a convicted paedophile and child trafficker to the post of US ambassador!

The small object that fits snugly in your hand, first thing you look at when you awake, last thing before you sleep, your window on the world, the shaper of your soul, the thing that helps you think, set your mood, lifts you, before you sink again, where did the day go?

thanks for update wish I could be there...Starmer's a dull fellow how could his resignation be anything like a state occasion that Ruben's might paint...his demeanour and emotional end had no glistening eye of a newly discovered Van Dyck but the kitch of Margaret Keane...

Politics as reality TV show …. You’re “in”! You’re “out”! You’re loved! You’re hated!

Why has it all become watered down and uninteresting turn-off? BBC Radio 4 presenters out doing themselves in reporting their opinions rather than the news.

Underneath Downing Street there's a tunnel in which a very grumpy Leprechaun is said to live. Anyone who finds him is promised a fortune beyond their wildest dreams, a veritable magic money pot ... And a tax free pension. (You'll note this explains everything ...)

Interesting take. You're absolutely right.

I want the reaction from Larry the Cat.

Agree. Feels odd. Enjoy the Royal academy.

Agreed. Is it true that all passed bills would be copied in Norman French for a time ?

Thank you!

Good point.

Spot on re the influence of our devices/digital age

Very true, I fear patience is a dying trait. I was no fan of Starmer but think he has been an unfortunate victim of modern day life. Summing it down as I like to 😂 I think it is a similar story with football managers. All the best. 😊

It's ignominy. It's everyone drawing a veil over as much as possible. How many prime ministers have resigned in ignominy? (= deep personal humiliation and disgrace)
