Here is a very simple prediction. Labour will win the next UK GE with a very large majority because the Tories have burnt all their bridges and Sunak is a useless politician. And it will be a very good government, other than for a European blindspot.
In this week’s Scribblings I write about why it is not a good idea to bring your “whole self” to work, the growing power of the European Parliament, and the UK local elections. You can read the Scribblings at this link: hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…
Looking across the Sunday papers I see the latest Tory spin is to say that Labour will win the GE but not with a landslide. These people can't count, and counting is the first rule of politics. The only reason the Tories are now hanging on is for a few more moths of salary.
I hear that an urgent meeting has been called of the London Tory Commentariat to discuss the problem of the people again voting for the wrong candidates. A spokesperson said: "We are disappointed that people did not vote as we wanted. We do not understand how they got it wrong."
I see all sorts of nonsense here about the UK local election results and what they mean for the GE. Reminds me of those ancients who believed they could foretell the future from a few chicken bones. Labour will win the GE with a significant majority. The rest is noise.
Labour is 20% of the Tories in the polls. That is all there is to it. All the rest is noise. Sounds off. And there is no Wizard from Oz who will make the 20% go away.

It is all just old UK Labourism/French Communism - "British/French jobs for British/French workers", no immigrants because they undercut native workers, our own industries/manufacturing, and stable family structures. A world of Hobbit shires.

In this week’s Sunday Scribblings, I ask if the EU’s Due Diligence Directive will make much of a difference. Probably not. I also wonder if I am now a “thought leader”. And some other stuff. hayest.substack.com/p/sunday-scrib…

“We can’t go back to old arguments,” said a Labour source. Not to recent "old arguments". Labour is going back to the "old anti-Europe" arguments of the late 1940s and 50s. Welcome to isolationist Britain. ft.com/content/fbb7d4…

I will withhold judgment until such time as I have read the book, but the attempt to belittle Barnier in the article makes me suspicious. Barnier was not negotiating on behalf of the Commission. It was the Council he reported to. But we shall see. thetimes.co.uk/article/my-bre…

Quote from my column: 2008 IMG report noted that the number of bullying/harassment complaints dropped from 27% in 2001 to under 0.5%. It was progress... but was it as great as we hoped? Had the problem decreased or was it an indication that many cases were going reported?
The best thing Andrew Neil could do right now is to come out and say... "the Centre Right has been overrun by populism and nonsense, and it has been a mistake to believe moderate Rightists can cohabit with it and 'ride it out'. I now see that it needs to be defeated."
Excellent summary

An antidote to Cummings parading his strategic genius, accusing everybody who opposes him of being the London metropolitan elite. An Irish expert in industrial relations reviews Barnier's book and distills a masterclass in negotiating strategy from it.

This is terrific and should be read by all of those interested in UK-EU negotiations, and why the UK got it so wrong. From a veteran (if I may say) negotiator. Perhaps we could add something on size, but broadly it is all here.

@BEERG @MichelBarnier Excellent piece. Re your final sentence I was surprised by @MichelBarnier ’s affinity with Ireland (which he showed i.a. with the PEACE programme). One reason seems to be his hero De Gaulle’s retreat there for a while after the war - one thing among many that the book taught me
