Man Utd following, Dr Hook listening, Free markets believing, England football suffering, father of 4. Views personal and not always serious.

@Dimples19856297 Here come the loony left...

@cjsnowdon Ditto...Steve Richards, Lewis Goodall, Jon Sopel, Emily Maitlis, Adam Boulton...all previously beacons of impartiality. Watch this space for Beth Rugby, Robert Peston, Victoria Derbyshire, Faisal Islam, Naga Munchetty, Tom Bradby. We shall all be surprised when they 'come out'.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@DPJHodges When you add Tory + Reform poll numbers, it's remarkably consistent and has been for 18 months - mid 40s, + or - 2-3%. Labours surge now is really winning back Green voters, who see Polanski for what he is.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@KonstantinKisin Seriously, like what? 80p a week off electricity, and a quid off bus fares! Have you been on the kool aid? Uncharacteristically gullible.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@JuliaHB1 We're paying to watch him and the Chancellor of the Exchequer eating Scampi Fries, ffs.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@IainDale @Tessadunlop Can they please make teaching of The Laffer Curve compulsory for all Labour politicians.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@andyburnham What? Because you knocked a quid off bus fares? Hardly bringing down the Berlin Wall, Andy.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@steverichards14 You always call him Lord Frosty Frost...are you mellowing, Steve?

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@afneil I would say it's perfectly appropriate for a Prime Minister who spends hours recording a video with the Chancellor of the Exchequer about Scamp Fries and Pork Scratchings. The days of serious policitians and serious media ended when you left the scene.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@andyburnham @JohnHealey_MP Get to work, @russell_kane

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@lewis_goodall Imagine Thatcher and Howe doing this, or Wilson and Healey, Blair and Brown…and you quickly realise how far our political class has fallen.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@lewis_goodall I’d estimate 4-5 hrs for each of our PM and Chancellor (c10% of their working week), to prepare for and film. Probably a crew of 2-3 and a budget of £5-10k. Is this really where they should be spending their time? Wouldn’t mind them working on some policies to fix the country.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@DanNeidle Well said Dan. Poplulist nonsense. Problem is that many of today's influential class don't remember the 1970s. Rent controls, wealth tax, state ownership...waiting for someone to say 'lets tax them until the pips squeak'.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@Survation If this is the Burnham bounce, Labour are in trouble.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@Baddiel 1966 aside, England have never beaten any country that has won a World Cup in a knock out game. Ever. That's a crazy stat and suggests the quality has never been there.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@afneil In summary, he's going to help everyone do everything whenever they want. Oh, and the sun will always shine, except on Christmas Day when it will snow. And free gravy to all pensioners. Simple this PMing lark

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@andyburnham Yes going to be the worst kind of gimmick PM, isn't he? How we've fallen as a nation.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

Crazy fact that other than 1966 final, England have never won a world cup knock out match against any country that has won the world cup. #worldcupfifa #engarg #england

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@AaronBastani I've never known broadcaster asked to comment on a politician, who proceeds to talk about her sex life, in a derogatory manner. Quite bizarre and totally irrelevant.

[IAN @BIGGLES4863]

@AaronBastani Aaron, 70% of the UK support the death penalty for certain crimes.
