Today Prime Minister Rishi Sunak found his bottle. Well, it's about time. Rishi Sunak has to strap his big boy pants on.
Get out of the corporate mindset and into the pub fight that is British politics.
Labour are on the ropes. Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner could be on the brink of being sacked, investigated by police, possibly locked up.
She has not, and possibly cannot explain her housing scandal away. Does she owe capital gains tax? Has she lied? Has she committed a crime?
Patrick Christys issues warning to Rishi Sunak

The plot thickened again today.
Her old neighbours apparently say that her brother was living at her house and she was the landlord. Did she declare all of this?
You can tell Labour have got a huge problem here because of the way that they're dealing with it.
The Sun's Harry Cole says that at 1:20PM, Starmer's spokesman says all further questions about Rayner's tax affairs should be directed to Angela Rayner's office. At 3:20PM, Rayner's office said that questions to be directed to the Labour press office. And then at 3:30 PM, the Labour press office said questions need to be directed to Rayner's office. Then nothing.
There's a problem for them here, isn't there? Go after it and I can't believe the Tories are still sitting on their hands about Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
Apparently 91 MPs have now said that they've lost confidence in the Speaker after he caved into Labour and saved Sir Keir Starmer from a massive, humiliating rebellion. The way to get to Starmer on this is to get Hoyle first.
Surely they've got to get the votes in, get him out of there, and then it all becomes about Sir Keir. Has Sir Keir already signed his own political death warrant?
We know Chris Bryant let the cat out the bag. Rishi Sunak and the Tories should be absolutely hammering this.
What did Starmer say to Hoyle? Has he lied? The Tories could hoist Sir Keir Starmer up by the standards he's set himself.
They know Starmer's chief of staff, Sue Gray, is weak and vulnerable. She allegedly left staff in tears amid a leaking investigation. She's also in hot water over the Hoyle affair and about ballsing up Labour Citizens Assembly plan and subsequently the screeching u-turn. Labour leader, Labour deputy leader, Labour chief of staff, all very nearly on a plate.
Rishi Sunak is not going to win on policy because people do not believe that it'll do any of the things that he's saying he will do. If he really wants to win, he needs to do what the Labour Party did to Boris Johnson.
Hammer it, keep hammering it, keep turning the screw, get it all out in an inquiry and just pick them off.
