  1. Why did the home team at OT have 2 sub goalies?
  2. I think Labour will need the LibDems to make a considerable dent in their traditional areas to gain control at a general election.
  3. They are 42% and 58% of the 72% who actually voted. So 30% of the electorate voted for Le Pen and 28% abstained, including most of those on the left.
  4. If you couldn't see it, how do you know it wasn't under water?
  5. True.
  6. The Committee to look at his position has 7 members. The chairman (Bryant and one other) are Labour. One is SNP. There are 4 Conservatives: Sir Bernard Jenkin, who is an independent-minded Tory, one who is an aid to Liz Truss, one from a red wall seat, and one who is a lawyer with a future as a minister. Any or all could vote against Johnson; in fact I would say it is more likely to be unanimous against him than to be 4-3 in his favour.
  7. Yes. And even then he will try to bluff it out.
  8. By the end of September.
  9. Very well put by Baker.
  10. I think I said as much several hundred pages back.
  11. PMQs is tomorrow. His statement to Commons is at 3.30 today.

    Sticking your neck out.
  13. Plus another in the previous match.
  14. And played well throughout for a 10 wicket victory. Spare a thought for Ben Compton. On the field for the whole match. Carried his bat for 104* in first innings and last man out for 115 in second. Batting for over 14 and a quarter hours, he is not like his grandad - more of a Boycott.

    Jon Dadi B played first 89 minutes of that Euro 2016 game, whereas Eidur remained on the bench.
  16. Denmark had set up (but not implemented) an arrangement with Rwanda, so this turkey was oven-ready. Australian statistics seem to show that illegal entry by boat dried up soon after the Nauru arrangement came into operation. It doesn't follow that the same will happen with those trying to cross the channel.
  17. It may well be that the local elections see many government supporters abstain. If/when MPs realise that he really has become an electoral liability they will demand he is replaced by the conference season to give them some hope for May 2024. Otherwise he is in it for the long haul.
  18. I think it will be Jeremy Hunt v Liz Truss.
  19. Ukraine is a country which gave up its nuclear weapons (to Russia) between 1993 and 1996. They are protected by the Budapest Memorandum. Ho hum.
  20. Something like "I don't believe that I acted inappropriately but I'm far too busy running the country as well as leading practical help to Ukraine to contest the matter through the courts so I will find someone to pay the fine and crack on."

    74.

    My pensions have gone up by varying amounts. The main one by 7.5%, state pension by 3.15% (because of the lower interest rate used to calculate the Contracted-Out Deduction), my SERPS optout by 8.5%, my smaller scheme pension by 5.0%, my L&G annuity by 10.0% and my tiny Prudential annuity is fixed so 0.0%.
  23. If you are seeking reassurance, he briefly attended the same college as Michael Heseltine, William Fulbright and Maria Eagle.
  24. Nothing illegal. and nothing to prevent a voluntary payment of the tax which would have been payable without the special status of 'non-dom'. [Bit costly though.]
  25. It's not all rich people. Remember Grenfell Tower was a K&C council property. Also it is median and not mean.
