Tim French, from Chesterfield, helped his parents switch energy supplier and saved them £700 | Get cheap energy quotes now I have been astonished at the reaction to my tweet about Charlie Perry, the 25-year-old roofer who went viral when a video showed him sticking a firework up his read end along the Wembley Way. My bet was that people would be outraged especially when they discovered that by his own admission he had drunk 20 (yes twenty) cans of cider and “banged a load of powder (I presume he was talking about cocaine) before the Euro Final on Sunday. And if that didn’t get you going what about the bribes he paid to a security guard to gain access to the stadium. You might have thought now he had sobered up he would be apologetic. Not a word of it. He told The Sun it was “the best day of his life” and he had nothing to be sorry about.

Some of the tweets joked that they wouldn’t want Mr Perry replacing the tiles on their roof but others said effectively that he was 25 and that we all do daft things when we are young. I don’t share that view. Supposing he had driven home and killed a child. Would those same tweeters be so relaxed. No, they would have been demanding a life sentence. Mr Perry committed at least three crimes on his day out and it does not reflect well on the police that they did not arrest him. However I do see hope. Mr Perry from Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, says he is looking forward to going to Qatar for the World Cup in 2022. So am I because the police there will have jailed him for at least a decade if he tries any of those tricks.

He pleaded guilty to five counts of fraud and was jailed for three-and-a-half-years at Portsmouth Crown Court. Sammy Kimmence, 25, had worked for a bet placing business that had gone bust. He then contacted two of their clients, a man aged 91 and another aged 81, saying he would continue to act for them. Instead he used the money to fund his lavish lifestyle.

One of his clients is now dead and the other is living on the breadline with Alzheimer’s. The Dyers love their publicity. I would like to hear Danny Dyer’s views about his potential son-in-law and the father of his daughter’s child born in January. Imagine for the first time he will keep quiet. The only downside for me is that Kimmence will probably be out in around a year. The 91-year-old still thought right until he died, that Kimmence was his best friend. A vile piece of work. Hope he sheds more tears in prison.

Rita Austin, a retired secretary from London, saved £270 on her electricity bills | Compare and save now I’ve always been a bit of fan of Nicky Campbell. Not just for his talent but for his work ethic. For the best part of two decades he has presented the BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast show. For some unknown reason he decided he wasn’t working hard enough so he decided in 2007 to fill his Sunday with The Big Question on BBC One and then in 2011 he topped the lot with Long Lost Family for ITV. Always friendly, a middle of the road character you could not take exception to unless you were a nasty piece of work. Enter Charlie Brooker, a satirist (it means unfunny). For some inexplicable reason Brooker took exception to Campbell, now aged 60, and twenty years ago started lampooning him. Brooker, 50, is known for dark humour and in one newspaper column thought Campbell might be the “most evil man in the universe”. Brooker also said about Campbell that “according to the Guinness Book of records Campbell is the world’s biggest arsehole.” 51% of customers paid £142 or less from their home insurance | Get your home insurance quote now Marilyn Hill, from Kent, saved £70 on her car insurance | SEARCH FOR YOUR BEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW
Some can just shrug their shoulders at such ridiculous taunts. You have to have pity on anybody who makes their money from the Guardian. But unknown to me there is a reason Campbell took these attacks so personally. Since his teenage years he has suffered from bipolar disorder type 2. After one such attack Campbell took to his bed for two days suffering from depression. Campbell says of such attacks; “ I think we have to very careful about that sort of thing. “Nobody knows what anybody is going through. I will never be as talented and brainy as Charlie Brooker but on that occasion and a few others it was bad.” Brooker could not be reached by The Times to comment on Campbell being laid low by his “satire”. Be interested to know his reaction. He clearly can hand it out but seems to go quiet when somebody pushes back. A Bit like Ally Ross, the Sun’s TV critic. He has been attacking Piers Morgan for years but when I gave Ross a whack recently he squealed like a stuffed pig. Its seems if you can’t do it you criticise people who can.

Gary Rose, from Lincoln, saved over £00 on his family’s car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW For as long as I remember Chris Waddle has been commentating on BBC Five Live. He bought a lot to the broadcasting game having played for England 62 times and in an illustrious career turned out for Newcastle United, Tottenham, Marseille and Sheffield Wednesday. Not to mention going continuing to play semi pro in his fifties for Hallam. An amazing career. He was likely to bring a lot to the final as penalties as all the “experts” thought them likely to play an important part. After all Waddle had booted the ball over the bar in the semi- final shootout with West Germany in 1990. He never got behind the mike. He had commentated on the Denmark semi-final and there was no suggestion that he wouldn’t be there for the biggest game in our country for 55 years. 51% of customers paid £142 or less from their home insurance | Get your home insurance quote now Anne Warrington, from Manchester, saved £300 on her energy bills | Compare and get cheap energy quotes now
Instead his role went to Chris Sutton and former international Karen Carney. I am not aware of her work. I’m sure she is good but not clear what her voice or knowledge would add. Putting that to one side is that anyway to treat a loyal colleague? Waddle is said to be devastated by the dumping and has now quit Five Live and a colleague said; “ He felt forced to go and believes he is the latest victim of apparent bias against older, middle-aged white men. There is a lot of upset at the BBC.” My question is this; If John Barnes had been a regular commentator ( I rather admire his views) would they have dumped him after literally years of good service.

Ken Wood, from Bristol, saved £103 on his car insurance | SAVE ON CAR INSURANCE NOW There is an important trade union election going on right now. When was the last time that was said? The battle is on to succeed Len McCluskey as general secretary of Unite which has 1.3million members in transport, logistics, construction and public services. McCluskey is a hard left activist who has used the fact the union is Labour’s biggest donor to sway the party’s policies. As you might expect he liked Corbyn but not Starmer. Anyway he’s going (thank God for that) and the fight is between the moderate Gerard Coyne and a couple of lefties, Sharon Graham and Steve Turner. Normally such a punch-up would go unreported. Not true this time because The Times newspaper has shown an interest. They are endorsing Mr Coyne because he wants an investigation into how members’ money was spent to build a conference centre and hotel in Birmingham.

The Times revealed earlier this that a firm owned by an associate of Mr McCluskey had been paid £95million for the project when initially it was supposed to cost £7million. The Liverpool-based Flanagan Group which received the money as prime contractors is under criminal investigation in an un-related corruption inquiry of council-owned land in Merseyside. There is no suggestion that McCluskey or the union committed a crime but as The Times says members deserve a full explanation. On that basis I agree with the Times. Go out and vote for Coyne. McCluskey and his mates are dinosours.

Robert Grainger, from Colchester, saved £250 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW On Saturday night I watched Clarkson’s Farm, the excellent Amazon Prime series on Jeremy Clarkson learning how to run the 1,000 acres of the Cotswolds he owned. There are two very funny scenes which turn it from Countryfile to comedy. The first is the a conversation with a local stone wall builder. He is 72 and speaks in a local accent so strong Clarkson cannot understand him. So the director has added sub titles. But they are not a translation into English but into German. Very funny. The best scene was Clarkson’s eyes brimming with tears as he says farewell to three ailing sheep at the abattoir. It was well done but it was a set up for a gag. The final scene showed Clarkson eating what looked like a shepherd’s pie - made up of the sheep with Clarkson indicating that it tasted pretty good. Very funny.

The teacher, who was described as “good Yorkshire lad”, was using the image in an attempt to illustrate a debate about blasphemy back in March. There were protests outside the school by Muslims who claimed depictions of the prophet were highly offensive. I find lots of things offensive. Like being offended about a cartoon. The teacher and his family fled their rented home in Batley as they feared for their life. The headteacher of Batley Grammar, a 980 pupil school, and the idiot who suspended the teacher in the first place, organised an inquiry which cleared the teacher and said he should return to work. Why would the teacher want to return to that school with a head teacher who didn’t stand up for you.

Well what we could have done is prosecute for crossing the channel illegally.

There’s something about his enthusiasm, something about his pure joy at playing football which marks him out. I am grateful to Mark Harvey, who was his PE teacher from the age of 11 to 16, for filling in the details about this early life. Apparently when only 11 his school team at Greenford High in Ealing, West London, were beaten 4-2. He came off the pitch in tears and said give up the game. Thank God he didn’t. Mr Harvey, who has gone on to assistant head at the school, said; “Normally young boys are trying to show off and they don’t pass. He was the opposite. “He was simple and effective and he had this intuitive understanding of the game, and of all sports. CLICK HERE: Alwyn Williams saved £342 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW “I remember teaching him basketball, rugby, swimming. It was always the same thing.

Head and shoulders above everyone else.” As well as sporting prowess Saka, 19, whose parents moved from Nigeria to England in the 1990s, was academically talented, achieving four A*s and three As in his GCSEs.
Harvey said of his behaviour; “He was squeaky clean. He was a role model student., no behaviour issues whatsoever. “ His teachers all spoke extremely highly of him. He was a really diligent, hard-working student.” He has a close knit group of friends, about five of them, and got them all tickets for the Germany game.

We win 1-0. And if I’m wrong it will still be great to have watched Saka in the Euros. A star is born.

READ MORE: Click here to read more articles from Kelvin MacKenzie CLICK HERE: Alwyn Williams saved £342 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW A remarkable thing is happening in the jobs market. And its good news. We don’t have enough people to do the work. That will mean bumper pay rises for those at the bottom. The reason; It now emerges that 1.3million Europeans left our shore due to a lot of Covid (they preferred to hang around Milan rather than a dingy flat in Clapham) and a good dollop of Brexit. It has even affected TV’s Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi who has her own hotel in East Sussex.

CLICK HERE: Andy Burgess, from Norwich, saved £100 on his car insurance | SAVE ON YOUR CAR INSURANCE NOW She told the i newspaper; “We had forgotten how much we relied on these enthusiastic professionals from hospitality schools across Europe.” The more worrying aspect of the shortage is that the government is relaxing the legal limit on drivers’ hours. The road haulage industry has been badly hit by a lack of drivers and apparently the Transport Secretary has been persuaded that unless the longer hours come in supermarkets may go short of food.
Drivers are typically required to take a 45-minute break after 4.5hours and driving for no more than nine hours in a day. This will be extended to 10 hours with two days a week of 11 hours. My concern is the legal limit was brought in stop over-tired drivers crashing into motorists. Personally I would prefer less cheese rather than more deaths. Click Here: Jean Burnley saved £174 on her home insurance | Get your cheapest home insurance quote now The Road haulage Association is on my side. “Loading more hours on to drivers who are already exhausted is not the answer.” They want to encourage driver from the EU to come here with special visas.

He claimed he had been called a “f***ing n***er” and told to “give way to white doctors to work” after he was sued for negligence and investigated by the General Medical Council in 2015.

Born into a working class family in the North East he was blessed with magic in his boots which he turned into goals and gelt. Today he is worth an estimated £40million.

Two daughters Juliet Miles, 40, and Lauretta Shearer, 38, went to the court to try and get their hands on a chunk of the £7million estate their successful dad had left in his will. All of it had gone to second wife Pamela and none to them. The dad was Tony Shearer, the former head of the merchant bank in the City Singer and Friedland who had died at 68 from a brain tumour in 2017. The daughters had gone back to the court for because they had failed in an earlier hearing to persuade the judge that they were entitled to “reasonable provision” from the will having claimed dad had left them high and dry having previously looked after them for the whole of their lives. Juliet who lives with her mother in the £1.6million Old Vicarage at Enford, near Pewsey, Wiltshire, was seeking a chunky £915,991 while her sister, who makes £57,000-a-year working for Sotheby’s wanted £350,154. Both said they would use it for housing. Apparently they had referred to their dad as “The Chequebook” but there had been a falling out because allegedly he found their constant requests for money distasteful according to wife Pamela. CLICK HERE: Robert Grainger, from Colchester, saved £250 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW But it was not that phrase that I felt got the heart of the problem but one that Pamela used from Shakespeare’s King Lear,
The phrase was; “Sharper than a serpent’s tooth is an ungrateful child,” The daughters claimed the father “changed” when he married Pamela with a rift forming so deep he refused to walk Loretta down the aisle after he was told his new wife was not invited. They would have been better off inviting them both and none of this would have happened. You will not be surprised to learn the daughters lost. The only winners will be the lawyers.

If the dad (and it’s normally dad that makes the money but that is changing at a fair pace I am glad to report) is of sound mind and the children have cut him out of their lives because he has married somebody else then expect him to take revenge from beyond the grave. Why should he make their lives easier when they made his life so painful. There is a price to be paid for putting a parent in the cold. If the child doesn’t want to pay the price try being nice.

It’s going to get worse not better. More division and more cancel culture. The hammer blow to peace and harmony is our workplaces and universities comes from American polling guru Frank Luntz, who has spent the last couple of months studying voter attitudes in the UK. Luntz was a contemporary of Boris Johnson at Oxford but more importantly has spent the last three decades carrying out work for the Republican Party. So he knows what the numbers are saying. Firstly the voters believe that woke versus non-woke was a greater divide than north versus south, cities versus rural, women versus men and young versus old. In his research for the centre-Right think tank Centre for Policy Studies he found Britain was increasingly split across these cultural line. CLICK HERE: Andy Burgess, from Norwich, saved £100 on his car insurance | SAVE ON YOUR CAR INSURANCE NOW Some 81% of Tories believed that Britain was a nation of “equality and freedom” with only 19% saying it was “institutionally racist and discriminatory” while 52% of Labour agreed with the equality mantra while 48% thought we were racist. Luntz said within a year cultural divisions in the UK would be as bad as the US. He said; “ The problem with woke and cancel culture is that it is never done.” So who will benefit politically from wokeism? My bet is that its Johnson. I can see the voters becoming increasingly irritated about mini-woke in their workplaces and that although they have to go along with it to keep the peace with a colleague when it comes to polling day they will get their revenge.

Like taxes will go down under us. The reality is that they don’t want to get elected. That’s why they picked Starmer for leader.

Previously nobody had ever heard of these academics but along came Covid and the airwaves were full of their pessimistic views on life.

How many professors are there in Sage and all these other talking shops? Whenever some clapped out BBC producer wanted to fill three minutes of airtime they would call up some professor probably from the gloomy Highlands who would then say we were all going to be dead by Tuesday. July 19 signals the end of all this gloom. The sunlit uplands are in sight. Let’s see if we can find a professor with joy in their soul.

In the first game they were terrible. They didn’t seem to know the words or if they did certainly didn’t want to let anybody know. This contrasted poorly with other European teams. The Italians were particularly enthusiastic. That all changed with last night’s game against the Ukraine. All eleven were in full roar. And it was great to see.

It is only seven years ago but feels like yesterday that the then Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry tweeted a photo of a semi-detached house in the Medway towns draped in English flags with a white van parked outside. Click Here: Kurt, a salesman from Surrey, saved £300 on his home insurance | Get cheap quotes now Her photo was basically sneering at ordinary people. She was fired by Miliband and my sense has been that the photo is a constant reminder that Labour claim they are supporting the working classes but actually despise them. Well Labour is an old idea and we are all free to show our flag and our pride these days. Thank God for that.

What is unusual about Waitrose and its sister company John Lewis is that they are owned by the staff. Until the last year the benefit for the workers is that they shared in the profits often amounting to nine weeks pay. All that has changed. The bonus has been scrapped as there is no cash to pay for it. John Lewis is a basket case as the department store model is completely out of fashion and the management is no better. They employed a complete dud in Dame Sharon White who had various jobs in the civil service before joining the group and has been splashing around in the dark ever since. CLICK HERE: Andy Burgess, from Norwich, saved £100 on his car insurance | SAVE ON YOUR CAR INSURANCE NOW There was a preposterous story in the Sunday Times today suggesting they were going to turn their car parks into flats and rent them out. So where are the shoppers going to park? Forget it.
What the article does show is that the company needs a new idea and if I were on the shop floor mine would be to sell the business. There are 85,000 employees/shareholders in the group and a back-of-the-fag packet analysis makes it worth around £2billion. CLICK HERE: Robert Grainger, from Colchester, saved £250 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW At the top end each employee would pick up around £20,000. And they would still have their jobs once the sale has gone through. Sharon could back paper pushing at the civil service and Terri on the till could go on the holiday to Hawaii she had always promised herself. The workers should rise up and force the pisspoor management to sell out. Everybody would be a winner.

READ MORE: Click here to read more articles from Kelvin MacKenzie CLICK HERE: Alwyn Williams saved £342 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW There was lot of breast beating by Sir Keir Starmer yesterday when he squeaked home in the Batley and Spen by-election. If I were him I would not be so cheerful. I say that because I have just read an insightful piece by Sir John Curtice, the professor of politics at Strathclyde University who is wheeled out by the BBC when they want an elderly Dr Who figure to analyse polling data. He points out that remarkably Labour is still 9% behind the Tories (I find that incredible) and even more worryingly that the voters did not know what the party stood for and few believe it could govern better than the current administration. Professor Curtice says Starmer needs to change from being a clever inquisitorial lawyer who can give Boris a hard time at PMQ’s and morph into a mature politician who can convey a sense of leadership and direction. CLICK HERE: Aaron from Windsor saved £200 on his car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW Not being Jeremy Corbyn is no longer enough, he says. The reality is that Starmer hasn’t got it. No passion and no real beliefs. That is one problem. The other issue is that Boris is not as painted. Easy to describe him as mad Brexit Right-winger who eats babies for breakfast. Click Here: Kurt, a salesman from Surrey, saved £300 on his home insurance | Get cheap quotes now Actually he doesn’t like confrontation and is prepared to be flexible about his views if it means there’s not some massive punch-up and it stops the opposition from moving on to his patch. Starmer may live to fight another day but if he makes just more political mistake that, I suspect, will be his lot.

Unless you have Amazon Prime you will never have heard of him. You see he’s the farm hand on Jeremy Clarkson’s 1,000 acres in Chipping Norton, a stunning spot in the Cotswolds. And the 23-year-old has become the star of TV’s Clarkson’s Farm as he tells the petrolhead what to do and how to do it. It’s compelling television. The difference between Kaleb and Clarkson is that he knows what he’s doing. There’s a good reason for it. CLICK HERE: Jim, a radio presenter from Glasgow saved a whopping £600 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW Kaleb did a three-year course at Moreton Morrell agricultural college in Warwickshire whereas Clarkson only took up farming his land- previously he had it tenanted- about half an hour ago. Kaleb wasn’t in awe of Clarkson when he first met his boss because he didn’t really know who he was. He doesn’t watch TV or follow the news and he has only ever been to London once (and didn’t like it). Kaleb says in The Sun; “The way I think about it, I know about farming and he’s learning therefore I’m the boss.
“When he says, ‘We’re going to do this.’ I’m like, ‘No, we’re not going to do that because that won’t work. “He doesn’t listen to me. I don’t get intimidated by him. I just treat him like a normal person. We have a laugh. But when he annoys me, he really annoys me. I get angry.” CLICK HERE: Robert Grainger, from Colchester, saved £250 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW Great attitude. He tells how recently he was in Chipping Norton (or Chippy to him) when he got out of the truck and the former PM David Cameron , I didn’t realise at the time, was next to me. “He was like; ‘Oh, another local celebrity’ and I’m like ‘Yeah, yeah I’ve got to go. “I walked straight past. I went, ’Hang on a minute that was David Cameron. I said to Jeremy I think I met David Cameron. Does he drive a pick-up? So they all laughed at that.” Amazon are the edge of commissioning another series. I hope they do. This is a winner. The idiots at the BBC turned it down.

READ MORE: Click here to read more articles from Kelvin MacKenzie CLICK HERE: Alwyn Williams saved £342 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW I know why the Tories didn’t win at Batley and Spens; their candidate refused publicly and regularly to support the teacher driven from his home and job by a muslim mob for showing the cartoon of the prophet Mohammad to pupils while discussing blasphemy. Ryan Stephenson is a local Yorkshire politician and should have been all over this issue. The others were. Why didn’t he give his wholehearted support? I think I know. Click Here: Jean Burnley saved £174 on her home insurance | Get your cheapest home insurance quote now They basically gave Mr Stephenson a minder in the shape of a lady called Amanda Milling who is co-chairman of the Conservative. For reasons that were never clear to me she appeared to answer as many questions as Mr Stephenson. She blocked all questions about the teacher and refused to allow Stephenson to be quizzed by Dan Hodges, the rather good columnist on the Mail on Sunday. So I blame her. Her background was marketing. Hope she was better at that than politics. The voters wanted leadership on this important matter. They cared that the teacher and ghis family were driven from their home. They cared that he feared for his life so would not be going back to Batley Grammar now that an inquiry has cleared his name. They cared that a local minority were able to dicate what could and could not be taught in schools.
And yet the Tory voice was silent. You may view George Galloway utterly vile but he gave the Muslim community something to cheer about when he spoke for Palestine and against Starmer. Similar for Kim Leadbeater. With her sister having been murdered by a Right-wing thug the community were right behind her in relation to local issues. And Mr Stephenson? Who knows. And it cost him. CLICK HERE: Jim, a radio presenter from Glasgow saved a whopping £600 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW The Galloway shadow is unlikely to go away. It may be three years away but every constituency that has a strong Muslim presence is now likely to have a candidate that is more likely to represent their views than the traditional home of Labour. This will be a hammer blow in places like Bradford and Blackburn. Even worse news is that with the narrow win Starmer will stay in office. Can we have two minutes silence for the future of the Labour Party.

READ MORE: Click here to read more articles from Kelvin MacKenzie CLICK HERE: Jim, a radio presenter from Glasgow saved a whopping £600 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW Matt Hancock is letting it be known that although he will go quiet for a time he will be back in high office. He has clearly gone quite mad. The days of preferment for him are over. Napoleon said bring me lucky generals. Hancock must be the unluckiest general in history. Having a quiet snog and a bottom grope in his office he must have thought his secret was safe. What he didn’t know was that someone who objected to his lockdown laws as secretary of State for Health had access to his office CCTV. That someone contacted anti-lockdowners who began offering it to the media. The political journalist Isabelle Oakeshott told the Spectator that was emailed the photo but thought it was a scam as she believed that it wasn’t Hancock’s hairline. Click Here: Kurt, a salesman from Surrey, saved £300 on his home insurance | Get cheap quotes now Ms Oakeshott must have been the only person in the world who studied the hairline. Anyway the source contacted The Sun and although the paper isn’t up to much at the moment even they recognised that it was a story. As I have said before he should have quit on Thursday night and it would have been all over and he would have had a chance of resurrecting his career. That is not going to happen. There will be plenty of attempts to oust him as MP for West Suffolk and even if he fights them off I suspect the voters will turn against him at a general Election.
He should start planning what else he will do for the rest of his life. The queue to hire him in commercial life will be pretty small. There are enough problems running a business without importing one. I can’t imagine how difficult domestic life is going to. His wife Martha seems a decent sort and for the sake of the children I imagine she will want to keep it all nicey-nicecy. CLICK HERE: Robert Grainger, from Colchester, saved £250 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW Not sure Gina’s husband will feel the same. He will have lost a wife and in any divorce ( I am working on the assumption there is no pre-nup) will lose a good chunk of his company Oliver Bonas plus either the £4million house in London or the place in the Cotswolds. Pretty much a nightmare for the innocent party. Matt my old son the game is up. Forget about Ministerial office. The only office you are likely to see is one in the garden-and at least you will know if there is CCTV!

READ MORE: Click here to read more articles from Kelvin MacKenzie CLICK HERE: Paula Keeting, a retired nurse from Bournemouth, saved over £500 on her family’s car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW Sir Keir Starmer was always the wrong man to lead Labour for at least three good reasons. 1) He was a passionate Remainer meaning 51% of the country would never vote for him. 2) He looked liked what he is - a dull lawyer you hope to God you don’t sit next to at a dinner party. 3) He has no passion for the Socialist argument. As a lawyer he can see both sides of the debate and will follow the one which will pay the most. And that is why he will lose today’s Batley and Spens by-election and trigger off yet another leadership fight. But the bad news for the party- and the good news for Boris- is that The Times is reporting supporters of deputy leader Angela Rayner are preparing her bid for the top job. Rather unkindly I tweeted that she would be Corbyn without the looks. Apparently MPs close to Rayner- and who would want that job- have been canvassing support among parliamentary colleagues and trade unions. Senior figures at Unite, Labour’s biggest backer, are willing to support a challenge but, according to The Times, have not discussed the idea directly with her. CLICK HERE: Aaron from Windsor saved £200 on his car insurance | GET YOUR CHEAPEST CAR INSURANCE QUOTE NOW Rayner would need 20% of the parliamentary party (that’s 40 MPs) to force a contest. Life has been a nightmare this last couple of months for Starmer. Losing Hartlepool was a disaster. What Starmer doesn’t understand is that the Brexit vote really means something for the nation. Hartlepool did not want a Remainer as the Labour candidate. It wasn’t the only reason for the massive defeat, clearly the vaccine programme helped but it’s in our DNA- we don’t want to be run from Brussels. For the Tories the win will only be the fourth government gain at a by-election since 1979.
Clearly something has to change for Labour. How is it that Boris remains so popular after so many covid deaths whereas leaders in the rest of Europe are taking a terrific bashing at the polls. Look what happened to the oily Macron in the regional elections last week. He got just 10% of the vote. It’s true that if Burnham won Labour would have a temporary bounce. But the reality is that their may be tough times ahead and nobody in their right mind would vote for a bloke who has NEVER had a proper job. Selling something. Making something. Being promoted for doing good work. Being fired for losing a contract. CLICK HERE: Alwyn Williams saved £342 on his car insurance | GET A QUOTE NOW All he has ever done is do jobs like being an MP’s researcher , working for the Transport and General union, parliamentary officer for the NHS Confederation. All jobs about talking. None about doing. Right now Labour are done for. They need a new proposition. Just appealing to the dim and the skint is not going to work. Not quite true. It will work for one person. Boris.
