    What a different world Starmer now lives in.
    As leader of the opposition he would demand the government of the day took responsibility for whatever happened on their watch. Now the situation is reversed he pleads ignorance of all things and others should carry the can.
    Dan Hodges also says Downing St was informed last Sept ….. they denied it at the time.

    Mandelson fails the vetting process and still appointed to the post of UK ambassador to the US?
    Everyone else, foreign and in UK knew about Mandelson, but Starmer pleads ignorance and continues with that stance.
    Pre election he painted himself and Labour as ‘whiter than white’ a self righteous party who Starmer said had honestly and integrity.
    Now as with previous failings a underling is set to take the fall.
    Not even the Labour supporters here can deny that Starmer is stretching credibility beyond reasonable doubt?

    At Newbury in the final contest of the day one which looks overpriced after winning readily at Musselburgh is the Hannon trained WHEELS OF FIRE e/w. Generally available at 16/1 this gelding made the running on his return setting things up for the closers but made no mistake 8 days later when going clear in the final half furlong putting daylight between him and his rivals. Since that race the 2nd won next time with the third also running well.

    Highly respected by other world leaders is laughable ….. he’s a joke
    they kick him, say ‘jump’ and Starmer asks how high?
    The EU is in decline, has been for many years, and going to continue on that path.
    The idea that the EU is the future is like Starmer a joke, it’s a rotting corpse …low growth, high unemployment and protectionist,

    extract from an article by Quentin Letts (published April 4)
    On Wednesday – the very day NASA was lighting those enormous engines that sent Artemis II hurtling into the heavens – Sir Keir held a Downing St press conference at which he maundered on about the woes of the world.
    Asked how he would reopen the Strait of Hormuz our dismal haddock of a PM opened and closed his mouth and stammered “we’re prepared to take a sort-of leadership role”. That ‘sort-of’ said it all.
    towards the end of the article
    Lets have a Labour party leader who can put a swing into the country’s step rather than one who clasps his teddy and hides under the bed-sheets amid yet more bladder leakage
    Now we have him off on another jolly trying to make himself look relevant AFTER the fact that peace talks have started due to the efforts of others. His moniker of Captain hindsight is well deserved.

    Ouch! … thought w had another winner in the bag yesterday only to be denied in the final stride.
    Although not one of the favourites I think LAKERS E/W in the sprint handicap will be hard to keep out of the frame today following an excellent prep at Lingfield.

    Just a quick post to put forward for your consideration LITTLE MI MI at Southwell this evening who’s taken her form to a higher level since changing stables and running mainly over the minimum trip. Although overall form reads two wins from 18 runs those wins have come in her last three races and on the a/w which she seems to go much better on compared to turf where she’s yet to win from ten starts.

    Looks like the ‘assisted dying’ bill is finally biting the dust which in truth should be called assisted suicide.
    The question now becomes will Starmer have the balls to make it official Labour policy?
    Pre election he promised many people things which were not or have not become policy. Didn’t he personally promise Rantzen to legalise killing people? He’s tried to sneak it in the back door as a private members bill which quite rightly has been booted out with so many flaws it just couldn’t stand up the kind of scrutiny such legislation requires and deserves.

    While not privy to the jockeys instructions in my view Tuscan Point was a win turned into defeat.
    Giving Doncaster and Meydan a swerve for Kempton this afternoon where RESPOND *** looks to hold every chance in the Rosebery Handicap to follow up his excellent Chelmsford effort when registering career high numbers and a personal best RPR.

    (headlines)
    All leaders can lie when it suits them. But after watching Keir Starmer’s performance over the Mandelson affair, our columnist delivers this devastating verdict ….
    The most politically dishonest, deceitful and disreputable PM I have ever known.
    Just ask yourself how and why this conclusion was reached?

    Just a quick post as I have errands to run to say I believe TUSCAN POINT in the opener at Southwell looks worth a investment.

    Why is it the pompous self righteous left think that all they say is gospel and cannot be disputed in any way shape or form.They remind me of a certain president over the pond who too thinks anything he or his supporters say cannot be questioned calling any other view ‘fake news’.
    When have I ever said I vote/support any right wing party?
    Yes I cannot stand Labour for their self righteous politically correct attitude and policies of tax and spend besides most of all their total economic ineptitude.

    came across this last weekend.
    ‘For decades, the institutions that once embodied our nation – Parliament, the civil service, the courts, the police , the BBC, universities, schools, corporate executives, the Church, museums – have drifted away from the public they exist to serve.
    Our country is now in the grip of a new ruling class which sees itself not as custodians of a living nation but as supervisors of a global humanitarian project that has no borders, no limits and no loyalty to the people whose taxes fund their salaries.
    It’s defining ideology is ‘suicidal empathy’ – a deeply twisted worldview that is destroying our country in the name of showing empathy to others.
    Suicidal empathy is when admirable instincts such as compassion are turned to favour outsiders over your own people. It is a belief that moral worth is measured not by defending your country but by demonstrating infinite generosity to the rest of the world, even when this damages your nation and threatens your survival.
    The result is a government without control… borders without meaning… public services without capacity… leaders without courage … and a country without confidence.’
    (extracted from … Suicide Of A Nation)

    This in my view started with Blair and has continued ever since but reaching new heights under the present government.

    Thought Apiarist gave the two principals too much leeway in front but these things happen.
    Clive Cox although not thought the the force he’s been in the past can still produce a good horse to win which he did with FAST TRACK HARRY at Lingfield just under three weeks ago.Not seen on a racecourse since early Sept the selection was gelded later that month and seems to have been given plenty of time.With all but one of his rivals having had at least one run recently and registering career high numbers & RPR with just a 3lb rise in the weights I think he’s well worth following today.

    Although Jack Channon’s horse Sarab Star has been well backed they say you should never be scared of one horse as we have seen even heavily odds on shots have failed to deliver when it looked like all they had to do was turn up to collect.I’m going to oppose him with APIARIST who’s own a/w record isn’t to be sniffed at and recorded good numbers when last seen at Lingfield.However it wouldn’t be fair of me not to point out the current stable form which is without a winner for the past two weeks.Ladbrokes at the time of writing are offering 11/2 about the selection which would give a positive return for a 1-2 placing.
