Shouldn't we draw from a cross-section of society who have called Jeremy Vine a nonce?

One of our nsc number will be behind the scenes for the bbc that night. I hppe he can influence more of Victoria Derbyshire
although watching at 9.58pm when the exit poll is announced to see if there is a glimmer of a clue from LK (she will see the poll 3 mins before 10) as to whether
It's labour win sad face
Or sunak win happy face
Should be fun

Do you mean "one question followed by a shouting match and a fist fight" time?

Victoria Derbyshire is known in this household (well by me anyway) as The Dementor. She can suck any joy from any situation.

Gary Neville
Paula Vennells
Benjamin Zephania
Helen Mirren

Oddly the tories think she's a labour stooge.
I always assumed she is a journalist. Not especially good, but so it goes.

My money's on Will Self. I reckon he would weigh in with some good hits to the head.
Alastair Campbell would collapse like a very collapsible thing. David Starkey would be hiding in the ladies' toilet, John Lydon would pretend to be involved in the fracas, but would be near the safety of the bar, where you would also find Hitchens and Farage tut, tutting at it all.

Nah. Wet ponces and slags, the lot of them.
Self would be chasing the dragon.
Campbell would be going on about the 1959-60 race to the league title
Starkey would be explaining why women
Lydon would be trying so hard to be nice
And Hitchens and Farage would playing a quiet game of Top Trumps (dictators edition)

Would you go for a pint with any of them? I wouldn't.

Didn't Brown save the world and abolish boom and bust, or was that just political spin and bluster?

Brown mitigated against the worst of the sub-prime lending global financial crash (that odd people like to claim he caused). And did so without crowing about it. Because it was a horrible time, with pain to follow. Can you imagine Sunk in his boots? he would have made it all worse then called it a great victory for Tory common sense.
And there was no boom and bust for Brown's (what was it?) seven years as chancellor. Given the inescapable malevolence of 'events, dear boy, events' that's not bad going.
I think the present GE will be as much about the apparent intent and the communication of impression of imperatives than anything else. Change, or more years of chaos under the Tories.
I was listening to an R5 call in today and a tory from Buxton summed it up nicely: we have been mucked about by people playing smart arses (Johnson the prime mover here), denigrating the honourable if perhaps naïve efforts of Grown Ups trying to Do The Right Thing. She cited Theresa May here. God, to think I look back on the days of Theresa May with regret at their passing. f***ed over by Johnson who came in and implemented the very plan he had voted against when May proposed it. That's badness, and the need to clean the Augean stable is palpable.

Me neither. Because Campbell is tee-total now.
But I guess he could watch me drink mine, while amusing me with anecdotes about some of the tomfoolery he encountered during his time at the top table. Brown's ranting and sulking, for starters. Shouldn't really laugh at an honourable man with skin as thick as a Durex Featherlite that had been stretched over a massive Hampton but, one would have to have a heart of stone to not.

I wonder if his team mates called the redoubtable former Charlton (and others) striker, Kevin Phillips: "Bong"? If I had been in his team, I would have found it almost impossible to resist. And if I ever change my NSC user name it will be to Jethro Q. Walrustitty
