Haha oh yeah I forgot BoJo was a cyclist before becoming PM. Though the way Sir Kier uses his knight-powers to skewer the beast at PMQs means he doesn't have to resort to vehicular attacks!

it's been reported he was on his way for a private meeting with his Tailor, is it any wonder I am politically homeless

A bit of a non story from the Sun again.
Not surprising it would overdo the facts.

Although, It's not a good look to hit a cyclist in any circumstances.
Very fortunate that nothing serious has been the result.

However, Starmer apparently stayed at the scene until an ambulance arrived.
Then he himself reported the collision to the police himself after that.
The driver, according to the police, was not arrested or interviewed under caution either.

He just needs to ensure vehicles he is in are driven more carefully and look out for cyclists too.

While cyclists annoy me when they charge past you on pavements, I've witnessed the shocking language and abuse they can get from drivers when on the roads.

Eehhhhh ... While it's certainly been a while since Labour has had much in the way of working class representation up front, I'm not gonna judge a prominent politician for wanting to look nice.

Indeed, it's not a stick I'd use to get at someone.
In public office, it's expected to have shall we say a better look as to clothes.

Not long ago, a Labour female MP rushed to the despatch box to speak before going out to a function, had a dress that was not considered appropriate for the Commons.
She was vilified for it.

Michael Foot was once ridiculed and attacked for wearing what was seen as a donkey jacket.

Con, MPs and even then PM Cameron in 2015/16, in parliament mocked and attacked Corbyn for his not being dressed appropriately and better, even telling him to get a tie on.

Odd how all that is fine.
However someone going to a personal tailor, (is that much different from someone having their own hair stylist?.).
As a reason to be negative to said politician and/ or Party.
I don't.
Well, I leave others to think what they will on that however.

Actually however, this kind of rigid starchiness of dress expected in the Commons, is something that I think needs just relaxing a bit.
As you say they sadly need to look well dressed.

Or you get the responses of 3 I've listed above from the Cons to Labour politicians and leaders.
Which somehow doesn't get the same comments.
As if the Cons don't go to personal tailors either.

Like the Sun, with this collision.
Jump in, here's a stick to beat the Labour leader with.

I'd prefer to attack views and policies rather than how dressed up politicians are, when they have to be as near perfectly dressed formally for their work in the Commons.

we are in a pandemic, where unnecessary contact is meant to be limited, going to a hairdresser is necessary, I am sure he has plenty suits/shirts he could get dry cleaned and reuse

Polls are meaningless at this time, I think bots said that before too.

However, I do believe a good percentage of votes were given to the Cons, for the sole purpose of ending the current brexit argument and seeing through the leaving of the EU.

It will depend where all is in around 3+ years time really to start to determine how many votes may return to Labour or just be taken back from the Cons with those supporting brexit now not bothering to vote.

All polling at present predicts a likely hung parliament again.
In an election tomorrow.

However years to go anything can yet happen.
The only thing I may feel a bit more confident of right now, would be that the Cons in 2024 could only at best hope for a more like single figure majority or at worst for them, ( although I'd be delighted), well short of an overall majority again.

Then again, I'm not sure Johnson will be leader then.
He won't want to be seen to do worse next time than he did in 2019.

The farce of supporting the tories over teaching unions could be the final nail. Not certain, but a real possibility.
