A welcome return to a bit of civility in politics.
Spanberger: I would like to thank my opponent for a hard fought race, the. The lieutenant governor story, her military service and her years of service here in Virginia deserve our respect and our gratitude. And I ask that you join me in wishing her and her family well.
I also know that those who were supporting my opponent are disappointed today. And to those virginians who who did not vote for me, I want you to know that my goal and my intent is to serve all virginians. And and that means that I will listen to you. I will work for you and with you.

Not at all. However am I the only one concerned that the person getting the money appears to be an imposter? Unlike the one in the news today, the real Alan Bates I saw on ITV was a spitting image of the well known actor Toby Jones.Sir Alan Bates has received a multi million pound compensation settlement from the PO after his campaigning, as well as the knighthood he got from the KingCue grumbling about wealthy pensioners?

Any views on Council tax changes? One idea to increase Council tax on Band G and H properties by 100% seems a little heavy handed. Maybe a moderate increase for G and H now with a commitment to do a national Council tax revaluation within 3 years with extra bands at the top at the endLeave G and H as they are. But introduce bands I, J, K and L for more and more expensive properties.
The multipliers for bands G and H v Band D in England is currently 1.75 and 2.00 respectively . This could be moved closer to those which now apply in Scotland which are 2.00 and 2.40 ISH respectively, to raise some revenue now

I did when he created Jar Jar Binks.Yup. George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise along with his production company, Lucasfilm, to Disney for approximately $4.05 billion on October 30, 2012. OK it's about 1/100th of an Elon, but it's still about 15,000 Viewcodes. so it's pretty good. And nobody hates him.@thetimes£40m is pocket change for Lucas.
George Lucas buys £40m London home. Is he fleeing Trump’s empire?

Very hard to know what it is about corrupt, geriatric, serial sex pest, Andrew Cuomo, that appeals to Donald Trump.

Congratulations on marrying well.Done that already this year - but all I am doing is removing my books which Mrs Eek then instantly fills up again.Get rid of all the books that you know that nobody in the house will ever read again.I want space to be able to enter some of the rooms. Seriously we have bookshelves that are triple stacked and I've bought about 2 physical books in the last 8 years......I would need bookshelves along every wall in my house if the books on my Kindle were physically in the house...I'm not seeing the problem. How long have you had this perverse need to see your walls?...

Fair play to the guy. He just wanted to run his post office. He didn’t decide to become a national hero, he was just being shat on by c***s who didn’t care that their software was flawed, had been shown to be flawed and did nothing about it. Arguably without his efforts the scandal would not have even achieved this level of resolution. Mush more needs to be done. Prison time for perjury as a minimum.Sir Alan Bates has received a multi million pound compensation settlement from the PO after his campaigning, as well as the knighthood he got from the KingCue grumbling about wealthy pensioners?

RIP Dick Cheney. Whatever you think of his views he was one of the dominant US politicians of the last 50 years. Chief of Staff to President Ford, Defense Secretary under President Bush 41 in the Gulf War and most famously VP to President George W Bush when he was leader of the neocons with Rumsfeld and led the response to 9/11 and orchestrated to War on Terror and invasion of Iraq that removed Saddam. He also was a vocal opponent of Trump and one of the few Republicans brave enough to openly say they were voting for Harris last year

Catalonia is not in my good books this evening.
I was invited by the very active and quite impressive Catalan investment board to a reception at the Shard to celebrate their winning some sort of global cuisine award. 2 Michelin starred chefs showing off their oeuvre. Speeches etc.
As I have an early flight tomorrow this is the sort of thing I would usually duck out of and get an early night, but the promise of Catalan molecular cuisine was too tempting. 2 hours into the event and the amount of food I’d managed to get hold of was truly molecular. At my hunger nadir I stood through 10 minutes of the chef from one of the restaurants, a place called Miramar, doing a demo of how he dabs tiny blobs of lemon juice on to a very delicious starter, before getting roughly 12 calories of the stuff. I probably burned more off waiting than I consumed.
Maybe they’re just Iberian and the feast will all come out at 11pm. But whatever, I’ve downed a couple of cavas and am now on the way home to eat some leftover pizza from the fridge.
