Has that odious **** ever done anything different?

[Vince Green]

Well he is not wrong is he? The present crop of politicians are low grade in the extreme.

He is also right when he implies that the opportunities for people with real talent are much greater outside politics. So why put yourself through it?

I think he is over simplifying in saying they are leaving because of the treatment they get. I believe they bring a lot of that criticism on themselves.

However, because they are low grade they do spend a lot of time going for the person rather the policy.

Isn't it funny how suddenly all these yesterday's men have miraculously come back into the political arena. Blair, Milliband, now Campbell.   ?

Even Gordon Brown has been giving the odd interview.

And why? I ask myself. Do they think we have forgotten?  Or that they have somehow redeemed themselves?

Gordon Brown always did "odd" interviews; he was continually claiming to be 'prudent' .......... and it later emerged that he had sold virtually all the UK's gold reserves right at the bottom of the market.  Under Brown the Treasury sold 400 tonnes (12.8 million ounces) from the UK's reserves at prices estimated to be between US$285 and US$300 an ounce.  Current price is around $2,500 an ounce.

Just physics maybe, they float to the top due to gassing off?

In reality they were always in the wings garnering any crumbs.

Them and a lot of other labour undesirables. While Starmer was working very hard at cleaning up the party's public image to make them electable the image he was projecting was a front.

Starmer was their Trojan horse

Donkey maybe?

My fleeting trust in him went over Sa…vile. To be top dog and deny knowledge of that situation was beyond my pale.

As with covid. Period when he was seen drinking at a party and denied it. , was so confident  he would be found  not guilty. Old Boys network  .

[udderlyoffroad]

Geoff Northcott nailed Al Campbell when he said “Alistair Campbell repeatedly forgets he’s Alistair Campbell” 

His raging hypocrisy seriously grates with many people, myself included.  But console yourself with the fact that any politician with sense sees how toxic he is to voters - at least those of the elder millennial and older variety – and thus won’t touch him with a barge pole.  So, he’s eeking out a living as a talking head and professional tweeter.  Yesterday’s man indeed, don’t let him live rent-free in your head.

I’m more concerned with the present lot in Whitehall; Al Campbell was at least less openly corrupt his successor, Sue Gray.
