Uh oh part II, we might have a TPD on the left of the Tory party.
Grieve?
Honestly, if you're going to quit within a fortnight of the election, and before the Queen's Speech, then why on earth stand for election for the party in the first place.
I hope it's only someone of the Edward McMillan-Scott calibre.
Especially as it was in the manifesto. And then why accept ministerial office knowing you'd have to quit.
Correct. And the ECHR enshrined in the BoR. Flea brains are in all parties. But this is why politics and governance is so full of lethargy wrapped up in inertia..
I got up at 4 am at the Grand Canyon. Just me and howling coyotes under a billion stars and the tiniest sliver of a moon. Picked my spot - and sat and waited for the sunrise.
You, Sir, have no soul left.....
Anyone who claims the Grand Canyon disappoints is lying to themselves and to society at large.

Yes. Regarding stars, the high altitude and clear sky in the Rockiesthe create a fantastic star field. Milky Way wonderful. I think however the naked eye can only resolve about 3000 stars and one galaxy...

Or has seen a lot more of the world.
Mars I'd accept.....
Nah. Too much samey scenery, and Olympus Mons is not as majestic as you'd think. Io is where it's at.

How the hell do the Czech Republic give Russia 8 points? They invaded them in living memory FFS....
For comedy value.
I'm going to love Putin and Russia hosting a Eurovision song contest that in no way promotes GAYNESS
Hah! Worth it just for that alone.
Speaking of Russian entries, maybe it's been said (not been online this evening. I haven't caught up), but in addition to being quite good last year, the Russian entry contained the lines:
"Cross the line, a step at a time. Maybe there's a place, maybe there's a time. Maybe there's a day you'll be mine"
Which John Oliver famously quipped was essentially an anthem to annexation.
Plato... 'death valley is inkier' ?Hmm? A valley is good for seeing stars? Granted a desert sky will be cloudless, crisp even, but 10,000 ft of atmosphere must have a detrimental effect.
Flyby post: - I thought Belgian entry was fab - Italy ok - Russia very good, but I soooo hope they lose - Graham Norton doing a fine, fine job - Russian satellite countries seem to be cut off if they don't vote for the Motherland. Tin foil hats ahoy!
Maybe we'd do better if we had to qualify for the final?
I'll be flipping through a recording of this tomorrow, but any recommendations on the best 'so bad it's good' song? The Swiss song last year was objectively pretty awful, but it got stuck in my head for ages afterwards, whereas barring the 2-3 good songs, I don't even remember the others.
Should he decide to hang on his 2 MSP colleagues may end up paying the price for his behaviour.
In all honesty, a by-election should be worth around £1m to the islands so it definitely should be the way to go. Carmichael should bid farewell in a way that actually benefits his constituents.
Looks like Europeans can think for themselves, proud.
No we can't - Russia should have won last year. Say what you will about them (and I won't, to avoid a lecture about MSM or something), apparently they know how to pick a decent entry, as you cannot rely on tactical votes alone to win or place very highly at least.

Night all.
12 points from Germany, it's Minsk all over again.
In a joint press conference on Monday, Hollande, Merkel and Cameron will announce that their contributions to the EU will in future be a multiple of their Eurovision points totals....

It's a TERRRRRRRIBLE night for the Conservatives...
Fortunately, I'm not betting on this one!

And there are loads of better places than there.
Get your shit stars off our flag.

@shaunwalker7: Oh God, is Russia winning? Please don't make me cover another Eurovision Song Contest.
We can only dream of the left hand side of the board.

Looks like Sweden's going to pip Russia, so no Putin problems next year
A lovely tonic after the Irish referendum.
Brilliant. Victoria Nuland, Greville Janner, Leon Brittan, Graham Norton you took one he'll of a beating.
Very tasty blonde too.
Night all.
I reckon next year's Eurovision in Moscow is what would have finally convinced Putin to come out of the closet.
Suck it up.
