Colin from Portsmouth listed all the things Labour would do with a supermajority – and it broke him
We’re not sure why the news media have repeatedly invite Mel Stride, Wes Streeting and Nigel Farage to comment on the election when Colin from Portsmouth is out there, brimming with knowledge and passion on that very subject.
Colin is, of course, the satirical creation of comedians Anthony Richardson and Mark Davison – also known as the Exploding Heads.
It seems that the possibility of Labour winning with a massive majority has pushed the perma-furious Colin over the edge, and he really let rip on what Keir Starmer might do with all that power.
Brace yourself.
Colin from Portsmouth lists every policy Labour will enact if they win a supermajority, and it's utterly chilling. pic.twitter.com/dyVE6msgJh

“They’ll reduce the voting age to five years old.
They’ll re-wild Heathrow Airport.
They’ll make care home residents take the knee.
Gary Lineker will become controller of the BBC.
They’ll strip Penny Mordaunt of her military medals.”
Some of those sound like a great idea, to be fair. These people, and many more, gave the sketch their vote.

Colin’s gone woke, he’s dropped the “Bloody” from Gary Lineker’s name.

Putting money on every one of Colin's concerns having (almost certainly) been the subject of a column in @Telegraph .
The Mail has gone too woke.

Colin is spot on as ever, I hope I can shake his hand at Swindon. Without his wise words I really would struggle to know what to think on the key issues of the day.
