But Nigel, you never ever ever ever ever pull anyone up on your own side. You target me incessantly for the very simple reason that it's all you're capable of. When I criticised your ally Iains for calling Diane a name lampooning her physical appearance, you waded in with a very anodyne and reluctant me-too. You know damn well that had I not picked him up for using the term abbotamus, he'd still be gleefully using it. Apart from that, you give a bye to all the idiocy that emanates from Keith and all the abuse that emanates from Iains, just because they're your mates. I rarely see any substantial contribution to discussions from you. The suspicion is that you neither follow the issues very closely nor understand them much. You cover this up by constantly-sniping little posts. Vast numbers of your posts consist of copy and pasting the whole of someone else's post then adding a one-liner. Pathetic. Find another hobby.

I see the Tories are in a state of hiatus over brexit today. Totally riven, infighting galore, all in the public gaze. We are supposed to be moving on to the next stage of the brexit negotiations. Stand by for some weak-kneed hubris over the transition terms, for which the EU is going to call the shots. God help us.
