Loads of different religions use Trafalgar Square for celebrations.
Would Timothy had said anything if it was a Jewish or Sikh event ?
He clearly was picking on the Muslim community to score points with Reform voters . As for Badenochs speech this morning , a dreadful start with more attempts to suck up to Reform voters .
You are not her audience and she does seem to be upsetting her opponents who wouldn't vote for her anyway
Her policies so far are attractive including abolishing stamp duty and the farm tax, addressing student loans and helping young people, maximising revenue from the North Sea, and increasing defence spending, together with stopping the boats and controlling immigration
I would suggest that is where a lot of the country is at present
A leading Jewish cleric pointed out to her that certain Jewish factions separate men and women at some services, she chose to ignore him.
Sir Keir Starmer needs to remove the whip from Lucy Powell and she needs to resign for this disgracefully unBritish act.

The attempt to cancel Nick Timothy doesn't seem to be having the desired effect and has instead boosted his profile and turned him into a more significant political figure than he was before.
Who is Nick Timothy?
MP for West Suffolk (Hancocks old haunt)
He's the only MP who is thicker than Richard Holden

No, Nick Timothy may be many things but he's certainly not thick.

Definitely goalhanging. As I'm in an online interview watching a candidate drown...
Hopefully not a lifeguard job.
Sadly its applicants to study pharmacy (but from Access to HE courses). Usually very poor, the current one is one of the worst I've seen. He's trying a calculation right now that I suspect every PB member would achieved in 20 s or less. And failing.
I'm surprised that its usually very poor from Access courses.
I don't know what they're generally like, but my wife started Uni this year after doing an Access course (self-study, online, as well as working) last year. She was advised before she started that, that if you can do well on the Access course you should be good for Uni and that the Access course is quite challenging. She said in hindsight she agrees with that, in part as was then working so juggling the course with her job, whereas now she's full-time doing her degree/placements, but that the Access course was good prep.
Don't know if all Access courses are similar or some are better than others.
There is significant variation. I have interviewed into the three figures products of access courses. There are some good students there - typically ones who choose the wrong route early but then want to do pharmacy and don't have the A levels in the right subjects. I have accepted one such this morning.
Then there are the vast majority that were not good enough to get the right grades initially but can get the lower grades for the Access to HE courses and hope that will get them on the main course. At a Top 10 Uni like Bath (are you listening @HYUFD - we not a Russel Group but we are better than most of them) they don't cut it.
At some point I'll share a typical calculation that floors them. PBers will have no dificulty.
Is is
Simplify (a-x)(b-x)(c-x)...(z-x)
?
=0
Only when x is equal to one of the constants (I presume they are constants) a to z.

Being a lefty w***** I was always one of those useless ****s who waited in the left hand lane for 800 yards before a lane closure. Then I discovered Bigjobber on 'tinternet. Bigjobber who is a master of roadcraft as well as an insurance liability expert says we should use both lanes before zipper merging at the point of the lane closure. So now I take Bigjobber's advice and use the right hand lane as the highway code recommends. The entitlement bonus is fantastic, I feel I am on the first step to becoming a PB Tory.

It takes a very big brain to defeat these ancient civilizations and that is something the Trump/Kushners are severely lacking. When you read about the Iranian hospital in Tehran with 600 beds calling itself 'The Ghandi Hospital" and that it's situated on 'Mandela Avenue' you know the game's up.

You only appear to be a twat because the other drivers are (a) not following instructions (often 'use both lanes' ' merge in turn' is displayed) or (b) not up on best practice.

I tell you what’s been really been boiling my piss recently.
People boarding trains before everyone has alighted.
I’ve been using the trains regularly for 30 years and up to quite recent it has always been everyone alights then everyone else boards, now you’ve got selfish fuckwits boarding without adhering to convention that goes back to Magna Carta.
I hold these people lower than people who think pineapple is an acceptable topping on pizza.

I was one of those bastards who would pull to a standstill into the right hand lane to stop the Range Rover and Cayenne drivers from making their way to the end of the queue. Drivers of Transit vans and prestige German cars would overtake me using the verge, but I don't believe 4x4s were capable of driving on grass, so they were f***ed.

On glorious afternoons like this, crises in the Persian Gulf seems half a world away (not quite, but you know).
As for Badenoch, I'm amused by the notion anyone who is critical of her is "scared" of her - she leads, last time I looked, the Conservative Party not the Kemi Badenoch Party and there seems an almost febrile urge to build a cult of personality around her.
It already seems however bad the results for the Conservatives in May, there will be no challenge.
The Party is defending 1,134 seats, some last fought in 2021, others in 2022. The former was, as we know, the highpoint of Boris Johnson - johnsonism if you will. In 2022, the Conservatives polled 30% nationally and won 1,403 seats, a net loss of 485 which could be regarded as bad though not disastrous but was still about a quarter of everything they were defending.
Project to 2026 and the Conservatives are polling just below 20% - that suggests a local election poll close to that of 2025 (15-16%) so roughly half what they got in 2022 so the idea the party could drop 500-550 seats isn't fanciful.
I said on here a few weeks Labour to lose 1000 seats and the Conservatives 500 would be my benchmark - in 1971, Labour won 841 and the Conservatives lost 841 in London alone.
London counts for a third of all the seats being contested on May 7th. Seven weeks from polling and I really don't,know how it's going toplay out in my own Borough, let alone anywhere else.
Labour of course start higher and has further to fall - they are defending just under 2,200 seats and in 2022 won 35% of the vote. Halve that and predictions of 1,000 losses don't look unreasonable.

Sadly its applicants to study pharmacy (but from Access to HE courses). Usually very poor, the current one is one of the worst I've seen. He's trying a calculation right now that I suspect every PB member would achieved in 20 s or less. And failing.
I'm surprised that its usually very poor from Access courses.
I don't know what they're generally like, but my wife started Uni this year after doing an Access course (self-study, online, as well as working) last year. She was advised before she started that, that if you can do well on the Access course you should be good for Uni and that the Access course is quite challenging. She said in hindsight she agrees with that, in part as was then working so juggling the course with her job, whereas now she's full-time doing her degree/placements, but that the Access course was good prep.
Don't know if all Access courses are similar or some are better than others.
There is significant variation. I have interviewed into the three figures products of access courses. There are some good students there - typically ones who choose the wrong route early but then want to do pharmacy and don't have the A levels in the right subjects. I have accepted one such this morning.
Then there are the vast majority that were not good enough to get the right grades initially but can get the lower grades for the Access to HE courses and hope that will get them on the main course. At a Top 10 Uni like Bath (are you listening @HYUFD - we not a Russel Group but we are better than most of them) they don't cut it.
At some point I'll share a typical calculation that floors them. PBers will have no dificulty.
Is is
Simplify (a-x)(b-x)(c-x)...(z-x)
?
=0
Only when x is equal to one of the constants (I presume they are constants) a to z.
The point is that you will have (x-x) as one of the factors, and therefore it will evaluate to 0.
The Timothy story isn't really about him, it's about Badenoch. David Cameron of (blessed?) memory would simply have sacked him saying these aren't Conservative Party values and quietly let him back in again after a few months. Badenoch doesn't do this. She pretends Timothy said something different what he actually said - that doesn't make sense either - and doubles down on how excellent he is. She's Corbyn basically.
Accept not everyone is following the story closely.
Sir Keir Starmer needs to remove the whip from Lucy Powell and she needs to resign for this disgracefully unBritish act.

So now I take Bigjobber's advice and use the right hand lane as the highway code recommends. The entitlement bonus is fantastic, I feel I am on the first step to becoming a PB Tory.
I tell you what’s been really been boiling my piss recently.
People boarding trains before everyone has alighted.
I’ve been using the trains regularly for 30 years and up to quite recent it has always been everyone alights then everyone else boards, now you’ve got selfish fuckwits boarding without adhering to convention that goes back to Magna Carta.
I hold these people lower than people who think pineapple is an acceptable topping on pizza.
People who press the bell for the bus to stop after its already been pressed. Utter filth of humanity.

Merge in turn! It's so great isn't it, you get to act like a twat but it's actually the right thing to do.
The merging in turn should happen in the area of the ‘merge in turn’ sign though, and not by narrowly missing the cones to cut someone up.

The attempt to cancel Nick Timothy doesn't seem to be having the desired effect and has instead boosted his profile and turned him into a more significant political figure than he was before.
I’m not really following it. The only place I’ve seen it mentioned is here.
Apparently he dared to have a forbidden opinion.
Man makes an utter arse of himself. People say "that guy's an arse".
Apparently that's an "attempt to cancel" him.
Other than one PBer calling for his immediate sacking (which will find some sympathy with the Tory MPs who lost their seats when May went to the polls in a campaign he helped manage), I wasn't aware anyone wanted him 'cancelled'.
It was the lead story on both Fox News and CNN
Were they both wanting him cancelled ? Seems unlikely.
The story was about someone on PB *wanting* him cancelled.
That led on CNN ?
I know, it's crazy how the story has cut through to the US

You only appear to be a twat because the other drivers are (a) not following instructions (often 'use both lanes' ' merge in turn' is displayed) or (b) not up on best practice.
It is however worth noting that merge in turn should only be done when the traffic is moving slowly because of congestion. When the traffic is flowing freely, you should move to the indicated lane at the earliest safe opportunity.

We have a “filter in turn” roundabout at a key choke point which prevents two lines of traffic spending days stuck in queues. It clearly confuses visitors but actually works very well.

It takes a very big brain to defeat these ancient civilizations and that is something the Trump/Kushners are severely lacking. When you read about the Iranian hospital in Tehran with 600 beds calling itself 'The Ghandi Hospital" and that it's situated on 'Mandela Avenue' you know the game's up.

Would Timothy had said anything if it was a Jewish or Sikh event ?
He clearly was picking on the Muslim community to score points with Reform voters . As for Badenochs speech this morning , a dreadful start with more attempts to suck up to Reform voters .
You are not her audience and she does seem to be upsetting her opponents who wouldn't vote for her anyway
Her policies so far are attractive including abolishing stamp duty and the farm tax, addressing student loans and helping young people, maximising revenue from the North Sea, and increasing defence spending, together with stopping the boats and controlling immigration
I would suggest that is where a lot of the country is at present
A leading Jewish cleric pointed out to her that certain Jewish factions separate men and women at some services, she chose to ignore him.
Things have moved on thanks to Trump.
after being asked why the US didn't tell allies in Europe and Asia ahead of launching strikes on Iran. The US president told reporters: "We wanted a surprise. "Who knows better about surprises than Japan? "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbour?" he asks, turning to Takaichi.
Kemi’s “Starmer sucking up to Jews” comment before lunch, massively eclipsed by the US President before dinner. You can always rely on Trump.

Being a lefty w***** I was always one of those useless ****s who waited in the left hand lane for 800 yards before a lane closure. Then I discovered Bigjobber on 'tinternet. Bigjobber who is a master of roadcraft as well as an insurance liability expert says we should use both lanes before zipper merging at the point of the lane closure. So now I take Bigjobber's advice and use the right hand lane as the highway code recommends. The entitlement bonus is fantastic, I feel I am on the first step to becoming a PB Tory.
Merge in turn! It's so great isn't it, you get to act like a twat but it's actually the right thing to do.
I compromise by taking the right hand lane but driving very slowly. Gets both lanes of traffic moving as intended (and infuriates the pushier types behind).

You only appear to be a twat because the other drivers are (a) not following instructions (often 'use both lanes' ' merge in turn' is displayed) or (b) not up on best practice.
It is however worth noting that merge in turn should only be done when the traffic is moving slowly because of congestion. When the traffic is flowing freely, you should move to the indicated lane at the earliest safe opportunity.

I tell you what’s been really been boiling my piss recently.
People boarding trains before everyone has alighted.
I’ve been using the trains regularly for 30 years and up to quite recent it has always been everyone alights then everyone else boards, now you’ve got selfish fuckwits boarding without adhering to convention that goes back to Magna Carta.
I hold these people lower than people who think pineapple is an acceptable topping on pizza.
That and people who insist on putting their bloody bags next to them on the neighbouring seat, even when people are crammed in the aisle and standing.
People are understandably reluctant to ask passengers with bloody bags to move them? I know I would be
The Timothy story isn't really about him, it's about Badenoch. David Cameron of (blessed?) memory would simply have sacked him saying these aren't Conservative Party values and quietly let him back in again after a few months. Badenoch doesn't do this. She pretends Timothy said something different what he actually said - that doesn't make sense either - and doubles down on how excellent he is. She's Corbyn basically.
Accept not everyone is following the story closely.
I don't think anyone off PB is following the story at all. Nick Timothy is hardly a household name.
Not even in his own household. Anyway, how can you take seriously somebody who doesn't even tell you their surname?

The administration now faces a stark choice—one it can no longer avoid.
A. Use force to reopen the strait, knowing full well that any strike on Iran’s energy infrastructure will trigger retaliation. This is not a limited operation. It’s escalation—potentially rapid, and potentially uncontrollable. There are no half-measures here: if Washington wants the strait open, it will have to fight for it.
B. Accept reality, cut losses, and pursue a deal with Tehran over the terms of access. Politically unpalatable? Absolutely. But when global oil flows and the stability of Asian markets are at stake, strategic necessity tends to override rhetoric.
What last night made unmistakably clear is this: there is no clean solution. No surgical fix. No easy win.
The longer the administration pretends otherwise, the higher the cost will be

That's not *quite* true: can the US degrade Iranian capability to a level where it can no longer threaten maritime traffic in the Straits.
And we don't know the answer to that question yet.
My assumption, though, is that is the US goal. And they will attempt to prove it is safe in the coming weeks, by having US naval vessels transit the Straits, and emerge without -hopefully- having been fired upon.

On glorious afternoons like this, crises in the Persian Gulf seems half a world away (not quite, but you know).
As for Badenoch, I'm amused by the notion anyone who is critical of her is "scared" of her - she leads, last time I looked, the Conservative Party not the Kemi Badenoch Party and there seems an almost febrile urge to build a cult of personality around her.
It already seems however bad the results for the Conservatives in May, there will be no challenge.
The Party is defending 1,134 seats, some last fought in 2021, others in 2022. The former was, as we know, the highpoint of Boris Johnson - johnsonism if you will. In 2022, the Conservatives polled 30% nationally and won 1,403 seats, a net loss of 485 which could be regarded as bad though not disastrous but was still about a quarter of everything they were defending.
Project to 2026 and the Conservatives are polling just below 20% - that suggests a local election poll close to that of 2025 (15-16%) so roughly half what they got in 2022 so the idea the party could drop 500-550 seats isn't fanciful.
I said on here a few weeks Labour to lose 1000 seats and the Conservatives 500 would be my benchmark - in 1971, Labour won 841 and the Conservatives lost 841 in London alone.
London counts for a third of all the seats being contested on May 7th. Seven weeks from polling and I really don't,know how it's going toplay out in my own Borough, let alone anywhere else.
Labour of course start higher and has further to fall - they are defending just under 2,200 seats and in 2022 won 35% of the vote. Halve that and predictions of 1,000 losses don't look unreasonable.
Accept not everyone is following the story closely.
Utter filth of humanity.

"Eastbound" is not an accurate characterisation of the service - from Vauxhall it heads due west across the Thames, which runs north-south at this point, before heading north. By the time it reaches Aldwych it is very marginally east of where it was when it was at Vauxhall, but really the journey from there is best described as northbound.
In my experience bus "queue jumping" is fairly common, bus queues being ill defined since people are usually waiting for several different services at the same stop. Social sanctions are limited. I think what Powell is described as doing, waiting for a few people to board so as to not be too cheeky about it, is reasonable etiquette.
Anyway, how can you take seriously somebody who doesn't even tell you their surname?
