I'm not exactly a big fan of Labour, who seem to be coasting along on a Not Tory (Will This Do?) ticket, but Jesus Christ - the Tories are already disastrous for tens of millions of people here.

Indeed. A trebuchet also has the advantage of greater range, power, weight and accuracy behind the stuff it slings out - which doesn't translate so well across to the Rees-Mogg example. Also, strictly speaking, catapult is the generic term for all such machines, of which a trebuchet is just one type. The traditional catapult that springs to mind when the word is used is called an Onager. Not to be confused with a somewhat similar Biblical word derived from Onan, which is sometimes used to describe Rees-Mogg.

What makes Labour’s/Starmer’s results so impressive the context. They were beaten badly in the last election. The Corbyn years threatened to split the partly badly with the New Labour/Momentum infighting. And what’s even more impressive is they are achieving these results with the press against them. New Labour’s win in the 90s was often put down to The Sun backing them and Murdoch was a king maker. Now, Labour/Starmer are getting these results with The Sun against them. So people either really like Labour, or really hate the Tories, if even with all the press manipulation and news agenda setting at their disposal, the Tories are still doing so badly.

My partners grandson. A 21 year old, says if someone is called a Tory, it means they are not very nice people at his University . There is hope in our younger generation.

Voldemogg! He that shall not be shamed!

The people who enjoy the Torie party's cruelty towards minority groups will still vote Tory.

Don’t forget about the EHRC report on Labour and the repeated outbursts of racism by Labour MP’s, Tories are bad but stop being brainwashed that Labour are any better, trust your eyes and ears and not what people tell you to think ffs

As a Jewish American who likes to observe UK politics, I remember that Sadiq Kahn was one of the few voices in Labour who spoke out against antisemitism when Corbyn was the leader.

Jacob ‘Laurel’ is a bit lost without his pal Boris ‘Hardy’ Poor lad , just needs to head off home to 1959 and hide for a bit again

So Lets start seeing some ACTUAL labour polices backed by data gained by official sources. Lets see these policies interpreted to into prepared legislative documents. NOT soft lighting, no pledges, priorities and promises, or podium soundbites. Stammers front beach are servicing MPS- lets see what they are made of.

The density of Rees-Mogg's remarks have their own gravitational field. They draw people in to an extraordinary degree. As many others have pointed out: give him a Geordie, Brummie or West Country accent and he'd be laughed out of any chance of political power or social advancement. This of course is no disrespect to people with pronounced regional accents but a damning indictment of the prejudice in favour of those with RP patrician tones. It is genuinely baffling to me that a significant percentage of my fellow countrymen can only hear the conditioned, tutored self-confidence in the sound of the words and not the actual words themselves.

The ridiculous answer is that a lot of people are still voting Tory, and not just those voting for the Conservative Party, but those voting for Starmer's Labour which has completely sold out, u-turned on every pledge it's ever made and plans to do nothing except continue Tory economic policy. Our 'democracy' is a broken sham. We need a real progressive alternative, and an end to this dictatorship of corrupt capital and vested interests.

Not me, lad. Not me.

Lord Snooty was a lot smarter than Jacob Rees Mogg!

About as bad as the woman (I think) who said she thought Anne Widdecombe would be great as PM. Can you imagine JRM as PM and Widdy as Deputy PM? Gives me the shudders even to think about it!

I have been voting Tories for 20 years now, but it all ends here for me, no more Tories and definitely no to Labour. This means there is no one else left, what's the answer? I think I'm going to stop voting altogether. NONE OF THEM CAN BE TRUSTED. They will all continue to feed you lies and one they get into power they instantly ignore the people of this country. James, love listening to your show .

Those who are fearful of Labour.

A trebuchet uses a counter weight (and basic mechanics) to launch the projectile. A catapult uses the elastic energy in the shaft to do the same. AFAIK the former is considerably more powerful thatn the latter.

Funny how Mogg was actually at the count for GB news and not for the party says a lot.

Meanwhile up in Scotland we look at Westminster in dismay acknowledging that we will always end up with the Government England wants whether we like it or not. When was the last time Scotland voted for a Tory Government?

James, i have a very old friend (just short of sixty years). His elder brother, who he looked up to in his youth, and sister-in-law are members of the Tory party. I keep egging him on to ask them what, in hindsight, they think of May/Johnson/Truss/Sunak but he tells me it would only make them angry. I am mot quite sure who/what they would be angry with. I think it is more likely that they would be angry with my friend and me than with either May/Johnson etc or the people who voted them in. The answer to your question is almost certainly: "They did". And their anger is directed at anyone who presumes to question their right to elect anyone they please to run the country or to question that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. Sad.

If you think 🤔 the reason your wife left you is immigration, then vote 🗳 Reform UK 🇬🇧 😂😂😂😂!!!!

About 12 million people are still voting for the Tories. They regularly receive this number of votes in elections. The rest voting for Labour are mostly red Tories. It is going to be a shock to a lot of people that Starmer will prove to be a disastrous Prime Minister if Labour win the election. The realisation that never ending Thatcherism is not the answer to Britain's problems has still not happened forty five years after the nightmare began. The Starmer project is devoid of solutions.

I really do admire JOB'S searing critical analysis of brexit and the tories, but there does seem to be a blind spot when it comes to Starmer's 'New' Labour Party. People think that because JOB is an excellent debunker of tory/ brexiters, then he must be a socialist. Not true.

Who... People KEEPING UP APPEARANCES, like Mrs Bucket, who think they are tories.

The reason why I cannot see a funny side to our government is the arrogance. That the UK allows these people to make important decisions is shocking. That they lack any meaningful skillset is evidenced by the fact that they can only make money by abusing the trust of their own nation. The thanks they have for the country that has given them the best it can provide is to take everything, because they can't compete anywhere else 😢

James on a Brexit moan again🥱. He has made a very average career out of the so far play mate.
