All of the Labour PLP today.

Jonathan Ashworth: "I've wanted to see a ceasefire for 2 years"

The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

Passing on the lunchtime stroll though.

As a scientific system it's subject to change as research progresses. For example the popularity of beards with youths meant "beard or weird" was no longer useful. So it was changed to "god or odd", and there has to be someone looking like god to get the point. Or someone odd obviously.

You need the scientific scoring system!
It's a simple binary system where pubs are scored one or zero in the following categories:

1. Sign

2. Building/Decor

3. Beer range

4. Beer quality

5. Staff

6. Atmosphere

7. Beard or Weird

8. Special feature

9. Loos

10. Would you make it your local?

This gives pubs an objective scientific score and removes the subjectivity that might otherwise creep in when rating pubs.
