november

december

so you see how it goes. fully a third of the year. (and we start here)

on september 23rd at about 1am in the morning we have the autumn equinox and we enter the dark half of the year which runs through until march 20th. 

but we have a few weeks before it is that. before that horsemouth is due up to town for a flying visit. 

calendar day

we go around and turn the page on the calendars. the calendar to rule them all is the triple negative calendar which commands release the bat-moths!

badenoch rearranges the deck chairs on the torytanic

cleverley is gone from housing to attempt to become mayor of london. priti patel is gone as shadow foreign secretary.  

horsemouth firmly expects the tories to do better than expected at the next general election at the expense of reform but that will still leave them with only the hope of a reform/ tory coalition as a chance to get into power as compared to a labour/ liberal coalition that horsemouth expects to get more seats. 

(of course it could got he other way)

horsemouth thinks there is a limit to farage's popularity and he doesn't think there's anything else to reform (yet). he thinks that the tories will be progressively forgiven by their electorate for their last time in office and rehabilitated. he thinks that labour will dig themselves out of the pit they are in enough to escape humiliation at the next election. he thinks the lib dems will basically stay where they are. he thinks the greens/ independents/ your party will get some seats but not enough for it to be a true breakthrough. 

horsemouth is up. he has his coffee. it's another beautiful morning. he's already been across to the chickens and taken the milk over to the garage.
