What is this miracle diet and why can you not eat fish?
It's a very clever diet where you eat ABSOLUTELY FUCK ALL
For about 3 days, then you eat normally for 1 day (don't binge), then another 3 days with NOTHING
Brutal, but it works
The Auschwitz Diet
Anti Semitic Ping liked by 2 fellow Anti Semites too!
No, anti semitism is hating jews, not making iffy jokes about anti semites. Being jezza, not making jokes about jezza.
Forde -"AS was used as a factional tool"
No it wasn't.
Corbyn conflated Likud's policy of policing East Jerusalem and the West Bank and Jewish Labour MPs. He may not have set out to be Anti-Semitic, but whichever way you call it, he ended up in principle at the very least, being hopelessly Anti-Semitic.

Quite a few models of my acquaintance used to use a variation of 'the cabbage diet' where they'd just have cabbage soup (spiced, plain, herby) for the 'fasting' days. They claimed it worked wonders and kept the worst of the hunger pangs at bay. I imagine there are some fabulous Greek 'green soups' that would also fit the bill.
When I get a real wobble I do the same! I either have a bowl of hot bone broth (yes @HYUFD) or miso soup. Gives some minerals and vits and flavour with almost no calories
The question is who is buying them? Who is making that much money?
Lord knows. I read a couple of articles saying it was wealthy Londoners downsizing from suburban houses to urban flats. There must also be a lot of super affluent students, with St Martin's, UAL, and UCL all close or very close
And some buy to let? But they all seem let. It's a busy area now and the new flats are clearly occupied (balconies with chairs and bikes etc)
The death of London was much exaggerated
There comes a point though, surely?
Live in an absolutely identical half million shoebox in zone 2 for 500k, commute the three stops in to kings cross and you're laughing. Tube strike? That's ok, 500k will buy you an uber home every night for the next 70 years.

Liz Truss has extended her lead over Rishi Sunak to 34 points in the Tory leadership race, with 60 per cent of party members now saying they will vote for the foreign secretary to succeed Boris Johnson as prime minister.
A YouGov poll for The Times and Times Radio found that almost nine in ten Conservative members have now made up their minds how they will vote ahead of ballot papers going out this week.
Just 26 per cent say they will support Sunak, compared with 60 per cent for Truss. The rest are undecided or say they will not vote.
The poll, carried out over the past five days, suggests a significant widening of Truss’s lead. The last YouGov survey, carried out in the wake of Penny Mordaunt’s elimination from the race, had support for Truss on 49 per cent compared with 31 per cent for Sunak, with 15 per cent undecided.
It shows that Truss is now ahead of Sunak among all age groups, across different parts of the country and men and women. The only category where he beats Truss is among Tory Remain supporters.

People who REALLY care about location, and have enough money to get the right location. They exist. Indeed I am, I suppose, one of them. For the price of my one bed here near Regent's Park I could easily get two beds a couple of Tube stops further out. And yet I don't

60% still less than the 66% who voted for Johnson in July 2019 however
You're doing that thing where you (don't) ignore the undecideds and won't votes, again.
If they break 50:50, Truss wins 67:33. If (say) 10% are undecided and those break 50:50, while 4% don't vote (and surely it'll be more than that? 96% turnout sounds ridiculous) then Truss wins 68:32. So, based on this poll, she's poised to outperform Johnson.
In other news, this poll leads to some bizarre conclusions. At least 86% turnout implied? The overwhelming majority of voters already made up their minds and won't change them over the month-long campaign? Hmm. Maybe. I still think Sunak looks good value.
If you can't condemn Corbyn's line as evil supporting fuckwittedness then you're evil or fuckwitted too
Independent MP and former Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has pretty much been condemned by most on here, even those who were previous supporters, or they have left the site (the Jezziah). Nick can be equivocal and BJO remains a fan.

Them too, but the magazine articles I read both quoted wealthy Brits in later middle age downsizing, and moving back in to the centre
If you have a £3m+ 5 bed house in, say, a nice bit of Muswell Hill; and all your kids have moved out, and you really like restaurants and bars and galleries and culture, then it makes sense to sell up in Muswell Hill and get a 2-3 bed in King's X for £2m and have a million in the bank
I don't care at all about leadership election promises
"Honest" Keir has proved that they're worth less than manifesto promises
Right now I care most about steadfast support for Ukraine
Truss has been resolutely anti-Russian
Sunak has allegedly been weak in his pro-Ukrainian stance
"Honest" Keir twice campaigned hard for Ukraine to not exist
Watching the Commonwealth games I think it would be nice to invite Ukraine to join the Commonwealth when the dust has settled.
Good idea. Why wait?
On a technical point, Ukraine was never colonised by the British, therefore...
Sevastopol was occupied by the Brits in 1855.
AND French. Be fair.
Also one or two other members of the alliance, but I can't remember the details of timing and whether those were actually represented by units on the ground.

It still looks like there is a Yougov house effect that favours Liz Truss. Of course, Yougov could be right and the others wrongly lean towards Rishi Sunak.
Also in YouGov's favour their history of calling party leadership contests spot on.

First, Corbyn is calling for a ceasefire, not a surrender. And one way or another, this war will end with a ceasefire and not the unconditional surrender of Russia. Second, Corbyn was calling for stiffer sanctions against Russia than were applied by our government. Third, Corbyn has not taken Russian money or met with KGB agents.

Yes, although I do wonder if, in the light of past success, their panel has been properly updated to encompass the recent 50 per cent growth of the voluntary party (assuming it needs to do so, which would depend on their being discrete differences between old and new members).

Some object to it as it contains MSG, but sod it, the flavour is great. It's tempting to chuck it in EVERYTHING - certainly curries and stews etc

"First, Corbyn is calling for a ceasefire, not a surrender. "
He is calling for the west not to provide Ukraine with any arms. Which would force Ukraine to either negotiate from a position of massive weakness, or lead them to defeat. Either way, Russia gets to keep a massive amount of territory, and will know that Ukraine will not be armed when they want to grab the rest.
Worse, other neighbouring countries will know that the west will not defend them.
it is a fuckwitted thing to suggest, and a fuckwitted thing to support. Unless you support Russia. It is deeply immoral.
Corbyn just needs to say: "The only way to get long-term peace is for Russia to withdraw back to the January 2022 borders."
a) SKS sacks a front bencher for saying workers shouldn’t be given a real terms pay cut
b) LAB plummets in Polls
Nobody gives a fuck about a) say PB Tories but cant give a reason for b)
Here's one: the Conservatives are up in the polls simply because they've gotten about 20 times the media coverage Labour have in the past few weeks, due to the ongoing leadership election.
There might also be a "Boris won't be leading the Tories" effect happening, so could affect the polls

It's naive in the extreme to call for a ceasefire. There is zero chance of there being a ceasefire until it becomes clear to Russia that they can make no more gains on the battlefield. We applied as much diplomatic pressure as we could to dissuade the invasion before February 24th, and were open to talking to Russia to make progress on legitimate concerns, but they still invaded because they felt they could get more of what they wanted with military action. So they won't listen now to any calls for a ceasefire. Especially if we stop providing arms to Ukraine so that Russia can prevail militarily.
12:1 for the pre-race favourite, only two candidates remaining, not a single vote been cast yet (and might not be for a couple of weeks), current odds-on favourite has a history of being gaffe-prone and there aren't any reliable polls of the electorate available?
Yes please.
I'm going back in at 12/1
Truss has shown today she is one massive gaffe from implosion. That has to be worth a punt.
Actually, it sort of hasn't: it demonstrates she has acute political judgement.
She killed the story in hours (cut her losses in gamblers parlance) when she realised it could damage her.

First, Corbyn is calling for a ceasefire, not a surrender. And one way or another, this war will end with a ceasefire and not the unconditional surrender of Russia. Second, Corbyn was calling for stiffer sanctions against Russia than were applied by our government. Third, Corbyn has not taken Russian money or met with KGB agents. Fourth, if Starmer is somehow bound to Corbyn by history, what do you make of Liz and Rishi distancing themselves from the government in which they both served and that one of them still does?
"First, Corbyn is calling for a ceasefire, not a surrender. "
He is calling for the west not to provide Ukraine with any arms. Which would force Ukraine to either negotiate from a position of massive weakness, or lead them to defeat. Either way, Russia gets to keep a massive amount of territory, and will know that Ukraine will not be armed when they want to grab the rest.
Worse, other neighbouring countries will know that the west will not defend them.

But he won't.
No, because Russia was the birthplace of his philosophy and can do no wrong.
12:1 for the pre-race favourite, only two candidates remaining, not a single vote been cast yet (and might not be for a couple of weeks), current odds-on favourite has a history of being gaffe-prone and there aren't any reliable polls of the electorate available?
Yes please.
I'm going back in at 12/1
Truss has shown today she is one massive gaffe from implosion. That has to be worth a punt.
Actually, it sort of hasn't: it demonstrates she has acute political judgement.
She killed the story in hours (cut her losses in gamblers parlance) when she realised it could damage her.
Theresa May would have let it run for days.
Yes, I agree. Boris would also have soldiered on for a day or two - damagingly. She did not
In a month of hustings - impromptu public speaking for an hour or more each time - any candidate is going to say foolish things, and make recorded gaffes. It is inevitable. So it is how you deal with them that counts. She was fairly ruthless, here, and the memory is already fading. She showed political acumen
a) SKS sacks a front bencher for saying workers shouldn’t be given a real terms pay cut
b) LAB plummets in Polls
Nobody gives a fuck about a) say PB Tories but cant give a reason for b)
The reason for b) is the focus and profile on the Tory leadership race and the prospect of a new PM and approach
So why are Con only up 2%
Early days.
I don't doubt that what you call PicketGate is a factor on the activist Labour Left but I'd be astonished if it was feeding through into general voting intention.

It's naive in the extreme to call for a ceasefire. There is zero chance of there being a ceasefire until it becomes clear to Russia that they can make no more gains on the battlefield. We applied as much diplomatic pressure as we could to dissuade the invasion before February 24th, and were open to talking to Russia to make progress on legitimate concerns, but they still invaded because they felt they could get more of what they wanted with military action. So they won't listen now to any calls for a ceasefire. Especially if we stop providing arms to Ukraine so that Russia can prevail militarily.
Yes, the only way this finishes is with Russia utterly defeated militarily. They’ve already lost half their tanks and a third of their army’s vehicles in only five months. This isn’t going to be a long war, with the defenders having access to almost unlimited NATO weaponry and training.
They have now lost and reduced supply lines to a lot of their troops in Ukraine, and those in Kherson especially are being pushed back and starved out.

Her original problem remains, though.
How to pay for her tax cuts. It’s either fantasy Reganomics, or she has another stab at identifying significant cost savings. Or she bait-and-switches the membership once in power, either significantly scaling back her tax cuts “having looked at the books” / “because of different financial circumstances” - or - she has to cut pensions / nhs etc that the membership don’t expect to be cut.
She’s kicked the can down the road. Far enough to get her over the line?

Corbyn conflated Likud's policy of policing East Jerusalem and the West Bank and Jewish Labour MPs. He may not have set out to be Anti-Semitic, but whichever way you call it, he ended up in principle at the very least, being hopelessly Anti-Semitic.
Live in an absolutely identical half million shoebox in zone 2 for 500k, commute the three stops in to kings cross and you're laughing. Tube strike? That's ok, 500k will buy you an uber home every night for the next 70 years.
I'm just struggling to understand who wants to pay seven figures for 535 square feet.
Hence last month's poll of polls had No on 47% and Yes on 44%
https://twitter.com/pollofpolls_EU/status/1544002146420629508?s=20&t=oRdJm1dQAw-nozPDYjCRDw
And now
If you can't condemn Corbyn's line as evil supporting fuckwittedness then you're evil or fuckwitted too
If they break 50:50, Truss wins 67:33. If (say) 10% are undecided and those break 50:50, while 4% don't vote (and surely it'll be more than that? 96% turnout sounds ridiculous) then Truss wins 68:32. So, based on this poll, she's poised to outperform Johnson.
In other news, this poll leads to some bizarre conclusions. At least 86% turnout implied? The overwhelming majority of voters already made up their minds and won't change them over the month-long campaign? Hmm. Maybe. I still think Sunak looks good value.
If you have a £3m+ 5 bed house in, say, a nice bit of Muswell Hill; and all your kids have moved out, and you really like restaurants and bars and galleries and culture, then it makes sense to sell up in Muswell Hill and get a 2-3 bed in King's X for £2m and have a million in the bank

OMG it makes a sensational soup. Maybe chuck in some silken tofu or spinach or both. The umami flavour is intense, it is extremely nourishing, yet less than 100 calories. And it fills you up
