A shout from the playground



Top minister tells Tories ‘put up or shut up’ ahead of grooming gang vote

The education secretary has told Conservatives to “put up or shut up” and back Labour’s child safety bill, ahead of a Commons push for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs.


Circling the wagons again, but what a rabble they are. Let us hope the political pendulum really is swinging back and continues to swing back good and hard.

Poor Starmer. Poor Labour. They are playing the game by the old rules but they are no longer working. The *world has changed* but Labour (and the Conservatives) have not. What was once compelling has lost all its power. Like Starmer.

Was Phillipson always this odd? She seems to be acting the part of an angry strict headmistress in a play about a failing secondary school. Perhaps she thinks that this will make the teachers' unions like her.

Perhaps the government should "put up or shut up" about the effects of our multicultural experiment. So far what has been "put up" is a bit off-putting, to be honest.

The progressives' ideology has to crash into reality sometime, so the pendulum will swing very hard indeed.

DJ - yes it's all very odd, as if a bunch of club members have turned up to a club meeting with an agenda twenty years out of date and insist on going through it point by point.

Sam - I don't think she would be there if she wasn't odd, either that or Starmer's oddness is infectious. I think I'd clear off to the backbenches and sit it out.

Tammly - I agree, the prospect of multiple hard landings can't be good.
