Sunak v Starmer


 
More people now prefer Sunak government to Starmer’s, poll finds

More people now prefer Rishi Sunak’s government to Sir Keir Starmer’s administration, a poll has found.

A survey by think tank More in Common shows the Labour Government is already less liked than the previous Tory one, despite taking power less than three months ago.

The poll of 2,080 adults showed that 31 per cent preferred Mr Sunak’s government, while 29 per cent preferred the current one.


A chap is bound to wonder if any of this lot were included in the poll - just out of interest.
 

Two-Tier Prisoners



Prisoners on early release 'reoffending to escape homelessness'

Recalled prisoners are the fastest-growing element of the overcrowded prison population, doubling in a decade. One former prisoner has told Sky News that being homeless and suffering a drug relapse after being released early has led to him considering reoffending.

Recalled prisoners are the fastest-growing element of our overcrowded prison population, doubling in a decade.



I suppose the JSO soup-throwers aren't likely to reoffend due to homelessness and suddenly having so few of the life-sustaining comforts derived from oil. 

A Reminder



It’s October 1st, the nights are drawing in, days become cooler as the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness descends on us, so it may be worth a reminder about climate change.

Suppose over the coming years we see a global cooling trend. Suppose the trend becomes impossible to miss in spite of fudged data – what then? Those paying attention will know this already, but if we do see a sustained global cooling trend –

It will still be your fault.
