'Told that there's been a gas leak in the building, Nigel Farage is the guy who fires up a cigarette. There's no situation so combustible that he can't contrive to try to make it more frightening.' Brilliant as ever from @andrewrawnsley!
Thank you, Pat
Seriously outstanding words here. The Playbook is it's all Broken. At Manchester Day yesterday we had tens of thousands celebrating our City.
Thank you, Paul

“Told that there’s been a gas leak in the building, Nigel Farage is the guy who fires up a cigarette. There’s no situation so combustible that he can’t contrive to try to make it more frightening.” @andrewrawnsley with his incomparable journalism. Genius.
Thank you, Mary
Excellent piece today by @andrewrawnsley Read and take note. Dangerous games indeed leading to dangerous times.
Glad it hit the spot
Great opener by @andrewrawnsley England find their own Ian Paisley. “Told that there’s been a gas leak, Farage is the guy who fires up a cigarette. There’s no situation so combustible that he can’t contrive to try to make it more frightening.” observer.co.uk/news/politics/…
Thank you
This is especially brilliant by @andrewrawnsley. Never has a political figure been described so accurately in so few words. Nigel Farage wants to be taken seriously, but can’t stop ... observer.co.uk/news/politics/…
Thank you, Terry
Persuasive and stylish explanation of Starmer’s style. Astute diplomacy works in mysterious ways. Domestically longer-term approaches in our anxious world are less fetching. @andrewrawnsley always spots the nuances that matter in such dichotomy.
Thank you, Christopher

Thank you, Tony. And you make a v good point about disgruntled loyalists.
Excellent from @andrewrawnsley but it is worse than he suggests. Every time a government folds so dramatically, those who chose to remain loyal get ever so slightly fed up too and question their reasons to be loyal. share.google/gxw2DniZAV3bMX…
Thank you, Ray
Spot on from @andrewrawnsley … “This means that reform requires meticulous preparation, astute communication and smooth execution. We have instead been witnesses to a textbook example of panicky decision-making, maladroit messaging and terrible personnel management”…..
Thank you, Chris
@andrewrawnsley offering a clear diagnosis of Starmer's problems and some wise advice on what he should be focusing on in an attempt to address them. observer.co.uk/news/politics/…

U-turn on welfare gives backbenchers a taste of the PM’s blood. 👇🏽 Excellent summary, as ever, from @andrewrawnsley observer.co.uk/news/politics/…
Thank you, Terry
U-turn on welfare gives backbenchers a taste of the PM’s ... @andrewrawnsley sees the backbench rebellion on welfare as a defining moment in Starmer’s premiership: authority is leaking away for radical change. Excellent political assessment! observer.co.uk/news/politics/…
