## Resource

After a brief interlude of non govt news, Starmer is back in the doo-doo as his defence secretary's shock resignation. I also wonder where the hell Rachel Reeves gets her confidence and why no-one's that interested in that fact we might effectively have a new PM next week. Elsewhere I thank Ben Stokes for generating interest in cricket and there's some gold old fashioned woke nonsense from Threads. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
