      I remember Prescott being asked on 'Have I got news for you' some years later, what Tony Blair had to say about it in private. Prescott responded, "I just told Tony I did what he asked me to. He told me to connect with the electorate, and I did!" 😅😅

    How the Telegraph has gone downhill.

    Traingate. When observing the full CCTV, and not carefully chosen stills, it was obvious that ALL the seats were occupied. You don't see childen or small adults as the seat backs were too high, but when they stood to reach something from a back overhead, left the seat to visit the toilet, stretched or otherwise moved, you can see the seats are occupied.

    First one-Was more disastrous for the journalists alleging this as their allegations were comprehensively disproven within 24 hours.
    Second one-pretty bad, wouldn't say Hancock was the most inept Health Secretary ever though, he did set up a very successful vaccine programme.
    Third one-yeah this was a shocker.
    Fourth one-erm, this one isn't a PR disaster at all...
    Fifth-wouldn't call it a PR disaster, more just sheer political incompetence. Also, the agreement was never popular. The SNP would have been wiped out even if the agreement still existed.
    Sixth-yeah this wasn't great, but hardly damaged Corbyn, he was at his most popular just weeks later.
    Seventh-this was unfortunate, and Wragg should have resigned immediately over it.
    Eighth-probably one of the worst Labour gaffes ever.
    Ninth-was actually more damaging than people gave it credit, technically they did nothing illegal but looked extremely bad.
    Tenth-not really a scandal, but definitely a stunning PR disaster.
    Eleventh-this one was just funny.
    Twelfth-this was the beginning of the end of May's 2017 election campaign.
    Thirteenth-the funniest moment in British political history.
    Fourteenth-this one could have spiralled, but we can never know if this actually happened.
    Fifteenth-this wasn't really a political scandal, and putting it above the expenses scandal is just silly.
    Sixteenth-yeah this wasn't May's best idea.
    Seventeenth-Miliband has never gotten away from this.
    Eighteenth-Although this story was exaggerated and lots of details were made up, the core of it was very damaging, not so much to the government as a whole, but certainly to Cummings personally.
    Nineteenth-Labour's 2010 election campaign was actually going alright until this point, this incident absolutely terminated it.
    Twentieth-To say this was the biggest PR disaster in British political history is just daft. Yeah it wasn't great for Cameron, but it didn't really dent his popularity, and the fact there were no sources for it and Ashcroft was resentful that Cameron never appointed him to Cabinet just show it was all sour grapes.

    As for the train issue with Corbyn - there were more videos released that showed the seats weren't empty, but the angle of the camera wasn't showing all the people who were actually in the seats. So fed up of people lying to try and stop good people getting on in politics.

    During the last Labour government Jacqui Smith was Home Secretary and during her tenure there she sent out a memo to police forces in the North of England advising them that victims of Pakistani grooming gangs had "made an informed choice" and therefore it was "not for you police to get involved with". Fast forward 14 disastrous Tory years and we have Keir Starmer handing her a place in the House of Lords in order that he can give her a position in his government - Minister of State for Skills. This should be a PR disaster but because the esteemed members of the British press are almost all left-wing Labourites no-one has bothered to bring it up. Strangely no-one else has either, not the official opposition nor the apparent "representatives of the people" in Farage's Reform party.
