Look who beat Labour into 6th place

His heros are: Sir Winston Shakespear. William Churchill. Larry Grayson, Geoff Boycott. Jimmy Clitheroe. Petula Clark. Freddie Truman. George Formby. The postman who went off with my pen. King Henry VIII of England. Florence Nightingale. The Krankies. Mother Teaser, (the nun). Rodney Bewes off, ‘The Likely Lads’. Anita Harris His website. The Proof. A [...]

Will PM announce General Election today? – That’ll be a NO then…… sh1t.

With Darling refusing to accept the Home Office, Blears resigning just before question time…… We in the EdSucks gang hut think it is possible that later today we might find the date of the next general election. Maybe even at question time! This will make fun watching FMQs with Iain Grey this [...]
