I assume both the Ukranians and Russians know where their own mines are. They do drift though..

Presumably there are safe lanes - for instance AFAIK, most of the mines round Odessa are Ukrainian.
Anyway, good to see that Truss's sensible Protocol reforms have made it through the first stages of the Commons. Unsurprising to see that fool May, who created the NI mess in the first place with her moronic sequencing, is against reforms.
Truss has come up with a good solution and has to keep the pressure up to ensure this is resolved and the Parliament Act is invoked, if needed.
I'm going to pretend I didn't see this. Best for both of us.
Someone may already have mentioned this in which case apologies, but my favourite online comment of the last 24 hours.
"The same people who are saying don't have sex and you won't get pregnant, believe in a religion based on the idea that a woman didn't have sex and got pregnant."
Surely it can't be GB News presenter Dehenna Davison.
Its not Dehenna. Her seat isnt marginal.
If Labour won a majority they would win Bishop Auckland
That doesn't make her seat a marginal does it?
It kind of does, really.
Which is something worth thinking about, there are a lot more marginals than people realise - and all those MPs will be thinking about their own job security.

Bollocks. A seat where you start on 54% and 18% ahead is not a fucking marginal. Nor are you looking to defect mid term because 'youre worried about your marginal seat'
She'd probably hold it given the demographic shift ongoing in BA and her name recognition on a Blair 97 swing

It would take an 8.9% swing next time for her to lose her seat, sure, but it had a 9.5% swing last time. So yes the seat is a marginal that could fall back to Labour next time.
Which would be a shame. Davison is a good egg from what I've seen, someone the Tories could do with more of. Not that I've seen any of her GB News output, I don't watch that shit, so can't comment on that.
This has to be a windup, Shapps would be over promoted leading a district council, let alone PM. He is just about treading water as a middle ranking minister nothing more.
An economic and social liberal is also not what the Tories need to hold the redwall
Hello H. Not to send you into a fug of envy or anything but I'm going to the Eton Harrow match at Lords tomorrow. It's the last ever one at the home of cricket. They'll have to play it somewhere else from now on. Perhaps at Eton or Harrow. Another casualty of woke. If it aint broke don't fix it, they used to say. No longer.
Yes sad news, my father was an old Harrovian and was a great summer fixture, only 1 day after all

Labour need a swing of 8.8% to win Bishop Auckland, some of the latest polls are giving Labour a swing of 9 or 10% since 2019. It is a marginal. On the Wakefield by election swing it would certainly fall to Labour

There's no reason to set the 2019 results as an immoveable baseline from which any swing should be measured.
In 2017 it was Labour held, as it had been for almost an entire frigging century and it hadn't been Tory since the 19th century. Of course its a marginal, even if the 2019 results were an aberration away from the margin, it will take more than just one result like that to stop it from being a marginal.

Well she wasn't married to the Holy Spirit was she? But engaged to Joseph. And there is a clue in the fact that she is known as the Virgin Mary.

If people don’t take their seats they should be resold at the gates. We seem to have had a similar fiasco for the free tickets at Headingley today, half empty. Trent Bridge seem to know how to manage a full house: just get Notts CC to organise everything,

Often at the cricket to be fair the ground can be sold out and everyone present but many, many empty seats.
Especially at a Test match people will be milling about, going to the bar etc and not just sat in their seats.

I don't think the Headingly situation was because of this. Most Test venues do not sell anywhere near all their ticket allocation for the final day. The free tickets will be for those just turning up at the gate on the day and for most people that isn't practical on a Monday when they have to work. These things do seem to work better when the last day is a Tuesday rather than a Monday. Not sure why.

That was seemingly not the case today. Lots of people seemingly snaffled up the free tickets then didn’t show up. As I say, Trent Bridge managed a full house when it offered free entry on the final day.
If Dehenna is considering defecting because of her 'marginal seat' there must be about 150 others in the same boat desperate to jump ship. Get real, an MP with an 8000 majority is NOT a candidate for a chicken run defection. They would only defect on idealogical grounds. The article is specific about MPs worried about their marginal seats, not MPs who suddenly feel Starmer all over. And i do not accept target 108 is a 'marginal'. Its been moving bluewards for years and accrelerated through and beyond in 2017 and then 2019. Its a site safer now than many below it on the list. It is also not 'safe', but it should be held on anything but a total meltdown night.

We will have to just disagree, but ill point out the Toties have gained vote % here every election since 1997, and in 2017 got to 46% adding 14% and falling fractionally short before taking it in 2019 and not from kipper votes but from more direct swing. The seat has moved dramatically and consistently torywards for 25 years with increasing momentum. Its not going to go into hard reverse in line with UNS instantly, it will resist that initially due to momentum lag so even on a big swing nationally i fancy it to be a pretty easy hold (new boundaries notwithstanding).

The Holy Spirit is part of Christian marriages today, when you exchange rings you do so 'in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.'
Without the Holy Spirit enabling the Virgin birth of Christ there would be no Christianity for such Christian weddings. Mary and Joseph were of course Jewish
