The Tories look set to lose both June 23rd by-elections – politicalbetting.com

At least one PBer, surely, will know when the last time that the Tory party lost two Westminster by elections on the same day.

That 80% is ludicrous. That doesn't tally with @MarqueeMark's reports.
France's language watchdog has told government officials to use French gaming terms instead of English ones.
The Académie Française says "jeu video de competition" should replace "e-sports", and "streamer" should become "joueur-animateur en direct".

But hey, at least now it has a royal tomb to visit.
Could there be a sufficient "Ding Dong Big Dog is dead" bounce to get the blue team over the line?
Is the threshold close? If it happens and Johnson wins, is that him effectively safe until the election?
Am I the only one who doesn't give a monkey's about Depp v Heard?
It’s a bit like a posh great great grandmother trying to get you to say “looking glass” rather than “mirror”, except there isn’t even a poshness value, plus the whole thing is even more embarrassing
Any French teen will simply CRINGE
If he'd had the good sense to prepare properly for the UK trial, I doubt he'd have lost it.
Priti Patel tells Tory plotters who remember she was sacked from the cabinet for having secret meetings with ministers and spies from a foreign country and then brought back to the cabinet and then broke the ministerial code by bullying staff to “forget it”

You pays your money you takes your choice.
It's a good idea to send personal emails to people you don't know. £13 to help remove Johnson is the least any of us can do and I'm sure plenty of other people will feel the same.
(it asked if I'd ever been to Wakefield! Apparently its been abandoned)
And they won North Shropshire at a canter: 47% vs 32%.
So, it's hard to make the LDs anything other than favourites.
Yes there is the LD by election but the Tories have picked a better candidate than in Chesham and Amersham or North Shropshire, a well known local lady
It was actually in a Dunnes supermarket in Galway, in the very early days of the pandemic (late February 2020) that I discovered there was a seasonal variation in cheese. As they were selling a mature cheddar cheese that was labelled as being made from autumn milk, which apparently has a different nature to spring milk, and so produces a different cheese. This cheese was made from milk from the co-operative that my uncle-in-law sells his milk to.
Not at all certain it's a Tory hold. But it's a damn sight better than a one in five chance.
But even the current Tory Party is probably still less keen on state intervention than Labour.

*"always constant", with the implication of reliable, is probably a better translation.
Sarah Millican is a well known local lady round here
What on earth are you talking about?
That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath
Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith
There is, however, a museum with the fattest man in England’s chair in it:

Also, the national gas museum. Unrelated.
Gosh. Not the Social Credit government I remember.
Nowt wrong with playing up to stereotypes, mind.
I have never once been a member or registered supporter.
I love wikipedia.
Who is going to be the first to break ranks?
Betting opportunities?

What has he got to lose now?
Of course, no one will do anything now until late on Sunday as it is Rex jubilee.

So I'd say someone in the range of Kwarteng, Coffey, Zahawi or one of the Secs of State for Wales/Scotland/NI, though I don't know that any are actually even considered likely rebels.
(For the avoidance of doubt, that was not a serious comment.)
They've already cast this as a two-horse race in which they are one of the two.
They should win or go very close.
If you want dull but competent Wallace is the best bet
They met on the set of The Rum Diary, which I think is a totally brilliant film despite what the critics seem to think.
It is being touted by some as the pendulum swinging back - a #MeToo too far. No idea if this is the truth.
Ultimately it's a story about who abused who, and whether or not a woman can be an abuser (Hint, yes, anyone can). Amber Heard claimed Depp abused her, and it almost finished off his career. She effectively tried to have him cancelled.
Now it's come out that, while neither of them were exactly perfect, she was the abusive one (cutting his finger off, defecating in his bed etc). Also a flagrant liar, claiming she donated millions from their divorce settlement to charity when she did not.
A lot of men (and women) who have been in relationships with a manipulative partner who has been believed over them will be nodding and smiling this evening.

"But you don't drink, Sunil."
"Oh, yeah!"
Labour under Starmer may be many things.
But it ain't Socialism. Or that. Lib Dem fail there.
And I haven't been following it.
It's possible neither is.a nice piece of work.
