2024

There can’t be ANY doubt that after the votes are counted following the July 4th General Election, Labour will be forming the next Government which should then run for the next five years. I thought I might share with you what I think will be their top 5 priorities over this time and I suppose I can then be judged against these forecasts. Since it is very likely that they will have a large majority in the Commons against a broken and humbled Conservative Party, the fact is that they can do pretty much what they want to do. So what will that actually look like?

It REALLY shouldn’t be making headlining news in the British General Election and yet it is. Turns out that .. a woman cannot have a penis. You see Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has appeared to harden (!) Labour’s position on gender and biological sex as he said he now agrees with predecessor

I am stating the obvious here and yes it’s been like this for decades now – the NHS is incompetent beyond words BUT it cannot be blamed for this incompetence and it must be further eulogised and fund. Or at least that’s what the politicians line up to tell us. But it is all wrong.

So it’s June 18th, well into our alleged Summer, and I am wearing a winter sweater. Why? Because the weather outside is cold and grey and quite breezy. Were I to stick on a summery t-shirt, as some brave souls do, I fear I might get pneumonia! How come we have had month after month after drab grey cold weather?

Right, buckle up because we have a rabbit hole that we need to visit and it concerns the newly returned to the public realm – Princess Catherine. In order to understand this one, you need to be familiar with two things. The first of these is the 1964 movie “My Fair Lady”
