Larry, the UK's "chief mouser," waited with press to welcome Britain's new prime minister. This will be the fifth prime minister the famous feline has lived alongside, as he belongs to the staff at 10 Downing Street. CNN's Nic Robertson explains why Larry often steals the limelight.

After several prime ministers in quick succession its felt like we’ve had a new one each week (well, almost). Why has the office of prime minister become so Impossible? Why did Liz Truss lose to a lettuce? Who actually brought down Boris Johnson? (spoiler: himself) How have the 57 inhabitants of Number 10 succeeded, failed, inspired and, depressed us? What can we learn from these peculiar characters and the history of the office? In our new work, Anthony Seldon and I explore this and much more, spanning a rich 303-year history of our leaders and nation. Our central aim is to show what can be learnt, and how, importantly, we can IMPROVE the office of prime minister so it becomes a little less impossible. In an increasingly dangerous world this is more important than ever. The NEW Impossible Office is out in March 2024, published by Cambridge University Press, and can be pre-ordered now!

Latest update from The Weather (Whether?) Network!
Veterans of political life, those who have seen up close how leaders wrestle with such dilemmas, say a prime minister's decision to step down often comes down to two things: how likely they are to win again, and whether they accomplished their goals.

So sad to read how a hard working pharmacist is slowed down trying to deliver clinical services due to lack of IT investment. We have known this for over 20 years. There is no coherent IT intergration that can link all of Primary and and Acute care. Pharmacy could do more if systems were more joined up. The NHS needs a fundamental rewiring and funding needs to be shifted more to Primary Care, and when I say Primary Care -I mean GP, Community Pharmacy, High street Dentistry and Optometry!! So how so we break this cycle? Public Policy Projects, we need a call out to the great and good.

A Facebook memory from seven years ago. Back in the day in General Practice and Theresa May was our Prime Minister. Seems like a lifetime ago.

The frustration and disappointment with this so-called Prime Minister runs deep. It's disheartening to witness how he has mastered the art of deceit, much like Boris Johnson. Instead of prioritizing the needs and well-being of the people he is meant to serve, he seems to only care about advancing his own agenda. It's alarming to think that this elected Prime Minister was chosen by his own comrades, rather than the collective will of the people. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of his leadership. Urgent action must be taken before he inflicts irreparable damage upon our country. In other nations, such as France, the people would have taken to the streets to voice their grievances. They have shown in the past that they refuse to be silent when their voices are ignored. It begs the question: why are the British people not mobilizing in the same way? We often engage in discussions, expressing our dissatisfaction, but what concrete steps are we taking to hold our leaders accountable? It is crucial that we move beyond mere words and translate our frustrations into action. We must demand transparency, accountability, and genuine representation from our elected officials. It is time for the British people to rise up, peacefully but resolutely, and demand the change that we so desperately need. Let us not be complacent any longer. The power lies within us, and it is up to us to reclaim it. Together, we can ensure that our country is led by individuals who truly have the best interests of the people at heart. The time for action is now.

Keir Starmer is almost certain to become Britain’s new Prime Minister tomorrow and one of the first things he’ll do as Prime Minister is make a speech in Downing Street. We can’t know exactly what he’ll say but one thing I am certain of is that he’ll use the rhetorical device PARALLELISM, so here’s another special NEW VIDEO… TeaTalk - A Tea Drinker’s Guide to Rhetoric Device of the day #30 PARALLELISM - ‘Good tea. Good Government…’ Parallelism is when we repeat the same grammatical structure in successive sentences. Sometimes it can be used to create a breathless effect, suggesting urgency, determination - like Tony Blair did in his first speech as PM. ‘A new Britain. A new economy. A new democracy. A new leadership.’ Sometimes it can be combined with rhetorical repetition, building up energy, suggesting focus, like in David Cameron’s first speech as PM, when he said, ‘I want us to build an economy that rewards work. I want us to build a society with stronger families.’ Sometimes it can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony, an attempt to heal the nation after a combative election, as Margaret Thatcher attempted to do in her first speech as PM, when quoting St Francis she said, ‘Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith.’ Starmer’s already used parallelism on the campaign trail ‘I’ve changed Labour, now I’ll change Britain’ but what do you think he’ll say tomorrow? As always, I’d love to hear what you think. And can YOU use parallelism to get your points across with more impact? Let me know. And, if you enjoy this video, please like, comment or share. 😊👍🫖

Yes, Prime Minister: will this be lucky or unlucky number 13? I rarely write about politics, although I’ve had 12 different prime minsters now during my lifetime, all starting with the battles between Harold Wilson and Edward Heath. I remember the winter of discontent, which was probably the final nail in Jim Callaghan’s premiership. I remember blindly walking into the poll tax riots, which were the beginning of the end for Margaret Thatcher. And I remember waking up in May 1997 to a very inspiring victory speech by Tony Blair, thinking we’d entered a new fresh age of politics. History and the Almighty will ultimately judge Tony Blair. What I do know is that in the last decade at least, it has been a continuous embarrassment of disasters. Sleaze, contempt, greed, incompetence and outright lies. Just when you think things can’t get any worse. They somehow manage to. The D Day commemoration events last week reminded us how fortunate we are to have the freedom to vote, and the power to decide who governs us. This is a privilege not afforded to all. We need to now use that freedom wisely that so many died for. Read the manifestos, listen to the debates, recognise the shallow promises that smack of desperation and make your vote count. Don’t be drawn into right wing hatred. Brexit was built on that and look how well that’s gone. Get it wrong and entice hatred and the universe will conspire to find a way of slapping you in the face when you least expect it. [All views and opinions are my own. Image credit: The Telegraph]
