Decline of the backbencher is bad for local representation imo. Double the MPs and there's a chance I can get a meeting to whinge instead of being told they have important parliamentary secretary business

The asteroid cannot come fast enough. We can't have a long radio news bulletin at 7.45 am in the morning (that had run since 1939) because money but this is cool I guess.

@washingtonpost.com editorial board has endorsed Trump’s idea to reoccupy Bagram air base. This is madness, and certainly evidence of that paper’s continuing obsequious fawning over the administration’s worst ideas.
