I feel that Alastair misses the mark with masculinity thing. It's not about them thinking female teachers are wrong. It's also not Andrew Tate's fault. Quite the opposite – he is a sign. And I am afraid that very attitude Alastair has regarding this issue is very much part of the problem, that masculinity has no place effectively. Of course you will lose males if you never give them any space. We can pretend all we like that masculinity is something one can just pick up and mold but it's not. It's there and you have to deal with it. Effectively. Not theoretically.

You need to ground these issues in the population. You can't psuh for example trans rights to the brim without "asking" and honestly listening to the actual people. Don't pretend issues you find laughably easy to be done just because you lot are. You don't walk around in regular people's shoes (anymore) and haven't for a long time.

Add to that the fact that the left has majorly focused so much on gender issues and forgotten the economy and welfare of it's citizens. You have to joke to not see the issue here.

Thank goodness, at last! Totally agree with Rory's suggestion of stopping all gifts etc, and using this as an opportunity to radically redraw the rules on the issue for MPs, Cabinet, ministers & the PM to remove all ambiguity, promoting the the principle of removing any sense of "obligation" or"bribery" that could be levelled at them, thus causing embarrassment, accusations of cronyism, favours and indeed, corruption going forward.
Also, feeding the media a seemingly constant diet of material to add to disillusion and lowering of opinion and the morale of the public's view of the people we vote into public service.

They change the word "gambling" for "gaming" which has a different 'connotation' … smart guys there

I'm interested in investing, but I'm not sure where to start from. Do you have any advice or contacts who can help me out?

I worked at the company that supplies TV for betting shops (it's the same company for all the betting shops), and the lots of the staff were gambling addicts because they were constantly exposed to gambling adverts.

I love political diaries and of people of all political beliefs. Its often the only way to start to understand the context in which tiugh decisions were made, and why political leadership is more femanding than many realise.

That said, how depressing it is that a potential Tory PM of the guture only comes from the current bunch of Tory MPs and tge fiur currentky standing. Im not inspiredby anyof them. Im looking for conviction, couarage nd character and some compassion
