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.
good luck to allWhile 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.

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?
good luck to allJust a quick post as I have errands to run to say I believe TUSCAN POINT in the opener at Southwell looks worth a investment.
good luck to allWhy 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.
good luck to all
(waits for the whining and ‘it’s not our fault’ posts of the whingers and apologists)
(enjoying winding them up more by the day).
Why is it so hard for some here to understand that other people may hold alternative views to their own?
good luck to allcame 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.
good luck to allThought 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.
good luck to allAlthough 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.
good luck to allNot often a classified race features here but I believe KENTO can follow up his recent course and distance success from a good draw, better than last time, where he seems to hold all the cards.
good luck to allOnce again I have to point out how the economy and the stockmarket are two entirely different things.
It’s also a strange and historic fact that during periods of rising unemployment the stockmarket rises strongly.
good luck to allSlightly disappointed with yesterdays selection but in all fairness it was a bit of a long shot.
Today’s selection being put forward for your consideration has a real live chance in the final race of the day.Returning from a six month layoff SPORTS COACH in finishing second recorded near his career high RPR when winning two novice events as a juvenile.Alongside this the gelding registered his best numbers to date.Although he runs into his conqueror from last time with that last run now under his belt and a 3lb pull for being beaten half a length I do believe things are very much in his favour to return to the winners enclosure.
good luck to allvalue31
What’s ‘alleged’ as you put it about the things this government has perpetrated on the public?
Reeves again blames others for the economy despite the latest released figures show ZERO growth for January which is before anything happened in Iran.
good luck to all*laughs*
Oh the pompous self righteous left will lay the blame for things at anyone else’s door except their own.
Under the present administration
Starmer, his wife and several other high ranking Labour MP’s (Ministers) accepted gifts from a Labour peer who was afterwards granted special access to Downing St.
Then there’s anti- corruption Minister Tulip Siddiq who was caught up in a family corruption scandal in Bangladesh, where she has been sentenced in absentia.
Housing Minister Angela Rayner and her failing to pay her property taxes.
Minister for the homeless Rushanara Ali evicting tenants so she could relist the property with a £700 rent increase.
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh resigning after it was revealed had been convicted of fraud for misleading police.
Josh Simmons is the latest to bite the dust.It’s emerged he had commissioned a ‘dirty dossier’ with which to smear journalists who had investigated the finances of Labour Together.
And of course the latest scandal over Mandelson and other things not mentioned here.
ALL in less than TWO years!
good luck to allThe only race I’ve invested on in recent years at the Festival has been the Triumph which opens the final day.Why this race you may ask yourself?
In my long association with horse racing I’ve come across many ways of assessing horses and their performances and as in this case a interesting way to view a particular race.It may be of no surprise to learn I’m putting forward a Willie Mullins horse for your consideration by the name of KAI LUNG e/w who’s currently around 25/1 generally.The geldings only appearance over hurdles came at Naas toward the end of January on heavy ground.Most notable was he beat Tuesdays Juvenile Handicap hurdle winner Saratoga into third.Although I’m concerned about the way the selection pulled on his debut for the stable he’s also in the right hands to progress and looking for at least a placed effort.
good luck to allI know I’m a little behind but think this needs airing.
From Dan Hodges column (published Feb 15)
Let us focus on something that’s been submerged. Namely the fundamentals of probity, rectitude and integrity that we have been told – principally by Sir Kier himself – represent the new guard-rails of our national governance.
a bit later…
Now set those words against three specific things we witnessed over the past week. The first was the ongoing attempt by Sir Kier to insulate himself from the crisis over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as Washington ambassador when – by Starmer’s own admission – he was fully aware Mandelson had maintained a relationship with the world’s most famous paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The second was his decision to belatedly remove the Labour whip from Matthew Doyle, his former communications director, after appointing him to the House of Lords. Even though Starmer had again been aware Doyle had maintained a friendship with a man charged with possessing indecent images of children – a charge that was later proven.
The third was the news he had summarily ousted his Cabinet Secretary Chris Wormald, and replaced him with Home Office Permanent Secretary Antonia Romeo. Even though Romeo is the subject of serious allegations of bullying and misuse of taxpayers money from her time at the Foreign Office, and multiple Civil Service sources claimed those allegations have not been properly investigated.
So, as I say, what are the rules?
When Starrmer was elected, they appeared clear. Probity in public office had been grotesquely perverted under Boris Johnson, he charged. So restoring the highest standards of honesty, humility and transparency represented his driving mission….
… Then last week, all thhat suddenly changed. Even highlighting these issues had in itself suddenly become a dereliction of public duty.
Starmer’s allies began berating the media for focusing on Mandelson rather than the Government’s policy agenda.
On Wednesday I was chided by a minister for my own part in focusing on Westminster intrigue rather than the Government’s achievements. So this appears to be the new rule. Or the Starmer Rule, if you like. Under the Tories breaches of standards in public office went to the heart of their mismanagement of the nation. But under him, thhey are of secondary importance. Not to be confused with the serious business of establishing breakfast clubs and preventing teenagers from accessing TikTok…..
… During the Labour leadership election he piously demanded: ‘Hear me out! I had 8,000 staff for five years as the Director of Public Prosecutions …. when they made mistakes. I carried the can. I never turn on my staff and you should never turn on your staff’
(about Johnson) …It’s no good the PM flailing around trying to blame others. It’s time he took responsibility for his own failures’ he railed repeatedly. Yet in the past week, this rule too has been inverted. He has turned on – and turfed out – every one of his most senior officials…… As another senior government official told me: ‘I struggle to think of a PM more willing to throw under the bus those who have been loyal to him’
So this is the other new Starmer Rule. The buck should have stopped with Boris Johnson. But there is no need for it to even pause for breath when it’s in the vicinity of himself.
later about Antonia Romeo ….. The new Starmer Rule? Due process not longer matters. Parachute her into the most senior job in te Civil Service regardless.
….Which when it comes to the crunch, the rules governing the Starmer premiership are as duplicitous and hypocritical and mendacious and self-serving as they always were.
good luck to allDunstall Park’s big day of the year today and putting forward for your consideration the Ed Dunlop trained gelding SUPERPOSITION who registered near career high numbers when returning from nearly four months off the track.Althouugh the stable hasn’t had a recent winner the horses have been running well with Billy Loughnane booked to take the ride, who’s in good form at present and has a decent record at the course.
This evening over at Chelmsford I believe the filly DESDEMONA can follow up her recent success after some near misses with useful apprentice Ryan Kavanagh aboard.
good luck to alladded March 8
In all honesty I cannot say what happened to Superposition or give you any reason why, however Desdemona rescued the day with her success at Chelmsford.
