SNP membership hits 100,000, polls couldn’t be better or more consistent – and Scottish politics seem so human, vibrant, cutting edge - and Westminster politics so tired, so contemptibly predictable, locked in the past.
Anna Soubry MP does a fine archetypal Tory woman impression of Ann Widdecombe in full expostulating, "end-of-Britain-as-we-know-it" mode.
I must give Anna full credit - she does synthetic indignation body language better than anyone littering the Tory benches today.
Stuffed full of John McTernan soundbytes, Jim Murphy falls apart under Andrew Neil's relentless professionalism - and the cold, hard facts of the polls.
Defensive, misjudging speed of delivery, lurching in typical fashion from Scottish Labour backroom brawler mode to cloying attempts to ingratiate - all in all, Murphy's painful swansong.

Good grief - I've just finished listening to "Just a Minute" on Radio 4 and here is the Sunday Politics version with Jim breaking the three cardinal rules throughout this mockery of a question/answer session - "without hesitation, repetition or deviation". Did I detect Andrew Neil's bottom jaw heading towards the studio floor as he turned to the camera in the last seconds of the clip?
ReplyDeleteNot so much "swansong" Moridura, more dead-duck?
What can one say about Murphy?
