    This is horrifying: “My colleagues and I eliminated thousands of Afghan friends of the UK at risk of murder from the evacuation list. We were instructed to do this due to lack of capacity to process people at the airport. This capacity was subsequently used to transport animals.”

    Denied at the time by Downing Street.

    Hmm. The tacit progressive alliance seems to be breaking down:

    I have zilch inside info, but this makes me feel that a Tory hold is the most likely prospect.

    Looks that way. Sorry but the two parties need to actually start co-operating. I was an active part of trying to get co-operation in place during 2019 - we had our LD candidate in Stockton South openly endorse the Labour candidate as being best placed to keep the Tory out. The reciprocal backing out (in Lewes I think) was pulled by Labour HQ.

    Labour had a base in OB, LibDems the same in NS. Whilst I disagree with withdrawing candidates, there needs to be the tacit agreement about which seats are winnable. The problem with some of the Labour activists is they are stupid enough to think all seats are Labour's by rights.

    And then I expect the same in reverse up here. Alex Cole-Hamilton is a bit of a nobber foaming on about the evils of the SNP when the enemy is and remains the Tories. You can't stop the nippie juggernaut, but we can stop the Tories from wrecking places like Banff and Buchan then wanting support for doing so.
    ACH must be an idiot if he thinks, in the Scottish context, that the enemy is the SNP.

    I know:

    Adult females who prefer to be referred to as girls

    Adult females who prefer to be referred to as ladies

    Adult females who prefer to be referred to as women

    (I was often corrected by my mum as a boy, that all adult females should be referred to as ladies and not ‘woman’, as the latter sounded rude)

    Guess what? It’s yet another pointless diversion.

    Just try to be polite and charming and most women are happy with that.

    Raab is such a liability, isn’t he? A shame the LibDems didn’t unseat him last time.
