No-one gets Marple like Hickson. Nobody plays both sides absolutely genuinely. You can see from this why she was born to play the roll, and why it's the one she's most remembered for. This is both her and the character's absolute peak. RIP Joan.

Not sure shouting "Bernard Manning" like a closing time drunk will help much here.
Three more British MEPs in Nigel Farage’s bloc now alleged to have “followed the script” given to Nathan Gill by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors.

At least eight UKIP and Brexit Party MPs were focus of efforts by Nathan Gill

Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

… threat of litigation.

(2) It further demonstrates how - post the FWS SC judgment - the U.K. is no longer compliant with the European Convention on Human Rights.

Standby for more litigation.

Girlguiding, (‘GG’) the U.K. Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.

What actually happened?
Girlguiding’s leadership made a political risk-management decision, not a legal one.
They chose the most conservative reading of the law - not the only reading, not the required reading.

Very disappointing from Girlguiding. An opportunity to stand up and to support a marginalised group passed by out of fear.

This is the consequence of trans bashing. Fear of the other never works out well and always spreads beyond what it was 'supposed' to.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”

“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”

You can have those for nothing, lads.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

OK, so why does his government keep banging on about immigration?

Labour's long term strategy of delivering us to the fash undeterred by the prospect of falling even further in the polls
I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

That's racism. Plain and simple.

No other word for it.

It's shocking beyond belief that this sort of thing is somehow acceptable.

Followed by that time Sarah Pochin said, "My kids say: mum, you're such a moron" 👀

Try as I might, I can't get Reform to answer a simple question about their candidate in the Caerphilly by-election Llyr Powell.

When did he last have contact with Nathan Gill, the party's former leader in Wales who has admitted taking Russian bribes?
