Summary

The election campaign has only just begun but already the stench of PR bull is polluting the airwaves.

National Service isn't a bad idea but Rishi will never implement it. This policy is just "red meat" to attract the Tory deserters who were flocking to Reform.

But now that Farage has run away from the democratic fight Reform are finished.

Meanwhile Labour's only real policy idea seems to be lets bribe kids with the promise of giving them the vote at 16.

The only voting reform we need is the scrapping of postal votes.

Is this the best that the Political Class can offer us?

Have a listen and see if you agree.

1:00.2	bird trouble. No, not that kind of bird trouble. I'm much too old for that let me tell you.
1:06.2	No, a little bird. I heard the dog just started going crazy. He's normally just lying at my feet.
