    Those two photos are taken at different times , as Blair's two differing facial expressions show , and behind Blair there is an electronic photo frame which periodically switches between various images , both of the two images shown are bizarre.

    The amusing thing is that the instinctive reaction is that it *could* be true!

    If someone said the same about Gordon Brown, John Major or Lady T the reaction would be just 'naaah...you're having a larf!'

    Sir Young may be too old in 2015 to be considered. As already indicated, Primarolo is going. If Bercow goes under a bus soon, and they want to promote a Deputy, I guess Hoyle would be the favourite.

    Engel is currently chairing the Backbench Business Committee. If she's doing a good job, it can be a source for gaining votes.

    t'Economist explains things to those who should be grown-ups:

    THREE years ago the Liberal Democrats demanded a review of Britain’s nuclear weapons system as a condition of joining a coalition government. Their Tory partners were committed to replacing the four Trafalgar-class Trident ballistic missile submarines that have been on patrol since 1994 with a similar system when the current boats reach the end of their operational life, at a cost of about £20 billion ($31 billion). A decision must be taken by 2016. The Lib Dems have now got their review. It does not flatter them.

    ...Its findings are both entirely predictable and extremely embarrassing for Nick Clegg, the Lib Dems’ leader, and for Danny Alexander, the chief secretary to the Treasury.
    Somehow I dannae see Al-Beeb doing a sit-com about the "Beeker Review".* Thankfully OGH and Mark Senile offer a lower-humour pastiche...

    * No doubt ex-socialist MPs are still computing their future luxuary-flats allowance from sad said savings : Bless the Danes...!

    Well, I could have told them that was probably going to be the case. Less flexible, more costly, less safe.

    However I do have an emotional fondness for the idea of an alternative delivery system. Ballistic missile submarines are just so cold, grey and anonymous (which is rather their purpose). But the thing they replaced - the V bombers - were mostly incredibly elegant machines (*) despite their sinister purpose. The idea of a fleet of manned or unmanned Mach-3 bombers on 24-hour standby or patrol is rather appealing from a Boys-own and engineering perspective. But also massively expensive and hideously dangerous.

    Perhaps the Lib Dems have a very cheap delivery mechanism concept up their sleeve: get whichever rather beautiful Russian secretary Mick Hancock is sha**ing to smuggle the weapons in ...

    (*) Except the Victor, which has a nose that only a mother could love.

    @JosiasJessop Have messaged you an off topic question

    There's a reply in your inbox. It's not really my area, so treat it with a pinch of salt.

    Declined her at Wonga
