Runners and Riders to Replace Wishy-Washy-Rishi.. Content Warning.
The Conservative Party is reeling from the cataclysmic loss it suffered in the UK general election. Many 'Big Beasts' as the media likes to call them have lost their seats. Liz Truss, former Prime Minister has been ousted, likewise, Jacob Rees-Mogg is an MP, no more. Grant Shapps has also lost His seat. Penny Mordaunt who was tipped to replace Rishi Sunak has also been voted out of office. The massive 80% majority Bojo Johnson (the clown) won in 2019 has evaporated like vapour. The amount of Tory MPs left is 121, even worse than their wipeout in 1997 when Tony Blair came to power.

Oliver Dowden: Russian Interference!. Content Warning.
We all remember the alleged interference in the American Presidential elections alleged by Trump's enemies. That may have helped Trump to come to power. How could Russia interfere in an election and achieve its aims? Use social media, Russian agents residing in that foreign country to big up the party or candidate they back, Russian use of bots or AI, etc.

Julian Assange Free at Last?. Content Warning.
The saga of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been going on for years. In 2010, when Mr. Assange published top secret US information on things like defence, UFOs, etc, landed Mr. Assange in massive hot water. The US authorities then wanted to extradite him from the UK. Assange then took shelter and was offered safe housing by the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. The UK authorities on behalf of the US could not touch him as to enter the Ecuadorian embassy without diplomatic consent would have been as good as a UK invasion of Ecuador.

BBC Poll Tracker.. Content Warning.
If you can manage to tear yourself away from the 'EUROs' then you may want to look at the 'BBC Poll Tracker'. We have seen the party leaders all vying for our vote on BBC, Sky, ITV, etc. Do these performances affect the way people vote? The answer to that is yes, it must do. These leader's debates give us the chance to see what these party leaders are like. When they are faced with hard-faced presenters/interviewers and a live audience. Although, no doubt, the audience's questions are already screened. As to whether the party leaders know what the interviewer/presenter is going to ask them, that's an interesting one.
