Apparently I’m more like my father every day, according to my brother. I’m convinced he’s getting more like my mother. Go figure
Rejoining would be great, however an aim is not a promise & neither is the Lib Dem’s view that we should do so when the time is right. Both parties appear to acknowledge that steaming in without taking people with us will just result in leaving again in a few years & that would be disastrous
Zack Polanski has just confirmed that rejoining the EU is an aim for the Green Party.

The Green Party is the only party promising this.
Maybe the good people of Kent need to “undeclare” Council Tax
Reform has “undeclared the climate crisis” to try to find savings.
Wow. If only we’d known it was that easy. Don’t like it? Just “undeclare” it. Simples.

The thought of clowns like this in government is just beyond anything remotely sane. Let’s not go there.

Now you’ve started something! How about

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.
Thankfully we no longer have to concern ourselves with the internal squabbling in the Tory party. I’m a bit concerned though about the p**sing contest between Reform & the Tories
Tbf I don’t feel moved to take this up as sex discrimination
Former UK PM Rishi Sunak has landed a gig as a Sunday Times business columnist. Still nothing for Liz Truss though.
Interesting- and although I acknowledge that most who vote Tory are over 65, I think it’s also true if I remember correctly most of those are men!
Great - now bring the public transport across the country up to London standards and we can all benefit
Flicking though interior designs - room scrolling?
I had to look up whether she was Tory or Labour, I must be living in a parallel universe
Where did you find actual telly, I don’t think we’ve got it?
Ooo er sounds like an Agatha Christie, where’s David Suchet when you need him?
You finally got on Question Time which was by far the hardest part!
If only the rest of the UK had London’s public transport #poorrelations
Good that you mention planning “reform” & not just new planning legislation. Existing law would work much better if planning depts were properly staffed & councillors didn’t automatically turn down initial applications for fear of losing their seat.

“Vote for me and I’ll get Gary Neville sacked from Sky, stop immigrants from eating our swans and make the National Trust take the tampon machine out of one of their male toilets. No need to worry about anything else.”
Privatised rail companies haven’t given a better service anywhere in the world, and increased passenger and freight demand mean our railway is creaking at the seams. The next vital step it seems to me needs to be continuing to reopen & build railway lines, hopefully at a faster pace than currently!
Tbf it’s not awful; it’s going on up and down our road. The worst bit is the other side of those fences it’s just “plastic” sacking. So both neighbours have to put up a new fence, whether or not it’s their responsibility
Next he’ll remember how many houses he’s got before he taxes second homes 🏠
