I see the likelihood of the LibDems making a significant recovery, even with Farron at the helm, winning somewhere between 25-35 seats (i.e. 5 - 7 London Cabs full), principally from the Tories.
Are you prepared to take odds on that?
In principle yes, but it's simply too far ahead to be placing bets, ask me again in two years' time!
It's up to you of course Though it won't be money down and it won't be enough to keep you awake at night!
I`ll be amazed if May is still PM in 2020.She looks really old for 59 her only idea since becoming PM was more Grammar Schools which does not resonate with many people,she bottled Hinckley Point,the budget was incompetent and devoid of ideas and all the problems of Brexit are likely to have emerged prior to 2020 as it is likely to be a new Labour leader The main reason why May might stay PM is for the same reason she got elected the lack of an alternative leader but Tories have 3 years to find somebody with charisma and fresh ideas
She does look older than 59, but that's not necessarily an indication of how energetic she may or may not be going forward. Brexit is what she will rise and fall on.
Both TMay and Corbyn could pass for a good 10 years older than they actually are IMO.
So she shows off her boobs and her legs like a thirty five year old but actually looks twice that ..... oh dear!
Yes, saw that one earlier - like UA, it can only be a toxic and terrible culture behind it, because this:
Chief constable Iain Spittal said: “Following a ruling by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal earlier this year that in 2012 Cleveland Police had, in a small number of instances, used RIPA authorisations unlawfully the force launched a review of all such authorisations dating back to that time.
is a pile of bullcrap - it shouldn't have happened, a review should not have been necessary.
Lab, Lib, Con think there is huge play in trying to paint the Greens as breaking a manifesto commitment. I don't understand it myself but the repetition of this point has been relentless.
David, the campaigner who received death threats, believes the independence movement itself has become “the closest thing to a religion”.
He says the atmosphere of the Scottish referendum is incomparable to the EU referendum, divisive as it was: “In the depth of feeling and level this went to, it was a world apart from the EU referendum.”
As for his colleague, a veteran Labour campaigner who had “never experienced that sort of hatred” before, she has only one thing to say about a second referendum: “I think it will be worse.”

To be fair, TM has lost a lot of weight since her diagnosis of diabetes, a couple of stone or so, this leaves a lot of slack skin. No wonder she looks a bit haggard a lot of the time.
On average Type 2 diabetics lose up to 10 years off their life*, so the chance of her dying or becoming seriously unwell before the next election is not insignificant. Jezza seems to live a very healthy lifestyle.

Och, you seem to have failed to post the companion piece
“The comments ranged from being called 'filthy Aids wog' to 'fuck off what you doing in Scotland anyway?’” he remembers. “These were usually comments from people who prior to the statements would talk about union and British unity.”
We discovered last week that the difference between Silver and Gold status on Etihad is that if you are Gold the flight attendant squats down for you, while with Silver she only bends over.
Fact.
A few years ago I took an Emirates flight from HK => London first class. It was a morning flight and I'd been to a party the night before. As such, when I got on the plane, I went straight to sleep. I awoke to find an Emirates air hostess squatting beside me, distraught that I had missed breakfast and was there anything she could do for me.
There was, I said, and thus began the Dom Perignon phase of the flight.
Many, many years ago my wife and I were on a half-empty Sydney to Auckland flight. ‘Red, whiet or spraklig?’ asked the steward. ‘Sparkling’ we said. Half an hour later he came back to us. ‘No-one else is drinking this' he said. ‘You might as well have the bottle!"
Airline stories pt. 94
I was in my seat on Air France HK => Paris and for the only time ever, the most beautiful girl came and sat down next to me.
I don't know what I thought but they were all good thoughts.
Just as the plane began to taxi away from the stand, she turned to me and said: I want to get off this flight, I am terrified, I need to get off.
We called the air stewardesses and they didn't have whatever tranquilisers they usually have for this kind of (quite common, apparently) thing. So I chatted to her intensely, discussing this and that, and, talking through her fears and why and how. And when the flight was in the air we called the stewardess over and said: champagne. And we drank it all night and drank so much they eventually ran out.
And when we landed she was super-grateful and I gave her my number thinking this is it, this never happens to me meeting such a beautiful girl, lucky me, and I never heard from her again.
Ah .... that is such a sad story and I was so much looking forward to a happy ever after ending. I wonder if she even recalls the experience?

Is it a Ratner moment? Or will it all be forgotten?
The CEO's response, essentially saying that the guy deserved it, has made sure it's a Ratner moment.
Absolutely. Saying that all "procedures were followed" da da da, when the whole world is watching an old man dragged off the plane, is indicative of a rotten corporate culture that can't see past the bottom line - to the point that they treat paying passengers like an inconvenience.
It will need a complete clearout from the top down and some serious customer service focussed people brought in. It's a big ship to turn around, these things take years to learn to do properly at such a large company. In the meantime they're screwed, comedians are taking aim and boycotts being organised. This one's not going to go away any time soon.
Snap. See my comment to the same effect below.

Actually a lot of the nut nuts who have ended up carrying out attacks have been found to not attend / been banned.

One of the things about these Islamist terrorists is that early in their lives they are very bad Muslims (doing such things like fornicating, drinking, gambling, and not being very religious like going to mosque or praying five times a day.)
They than have an event which makes them ultra hardcore religious.

Yup, it's a bit of a farce, my parents' friends know I'm not much of a Muslim, they don't care, my parents would have preferred me to have been a better Muslim but it ain't a deal breaker for them.
But the rest of the day all of us, family and friends have a great time at someone's house.
"Boris has suffered a humiliation" according to BBC News.
Something more painful would have been nice. Considering how much he is disliked by the rest of the EU (understandably) it's surprising that Theresa didn't sent someone more amenable.

I only ask because my experience is that Hindus and Sikhs are much more hostile to alcohol than Muslims are.

On average Type 2 diabetics lose up to 10 years off their life*, so the chance of her dying or becoming seriously unwell before the next election is not insignificant. Jezza seems to live a very healthy lifestyle.
Key word up to and as the article makes clear diabetes if well managed can live an average life expectancy or even longer, as someone whose mother has Type2 diabetes I also rather dislike the tone of your post
Next time you hear of local authorities wailing bitterly that they can only afford to keep the libraries open or make sure that dementia patients get their bottoms wiped, and not both, remember the above.
How many people work in local authorities ? 2 million ? And 539 earn six figures ?
Really ? The pay cut the Barclays boss took will probably employ 50 of them.
As Tesco's like to say every little helps. Especially when we have had some ridiculous posturing from some councils about not being able to afford keeping public bogs open for a £x00,000 a year.

Mr. F, reminds me a bit of my Religious Studies teacher, who was also a Methodist laypreacher. His approach to the ban on alcohol was a bit like the approach of Jack Sparrow to the rules of piracy
"Boris has suffered a humiliation" according to BBC News.
Something more painful would have been nice. Considering how much he is disliked by the rest of the EU (understandably) it's surprising that Theresa didn't sent someone more amenable.
When Boris said yesterday that he would ask for more sanctions against Russia, I had assumed that behind the scenes it had all been worked out before.
Hell, no ! He got a nasty slap. Either he is full of himself or completely incompetent. Why did the FCO officials advise him not to say something like that ? He was effectively putting pressure on the other Foreign Ministers. They did not like it one bit.

If things are all agreed before hand, why have the meeting to discuss things? Who knows what went on before hand, they may have even been open to listening to his idea, but decided against it pending further investigations.
Mr. Eagles, perhaps it's the fashion police who keep stopping you?
Can't be that. My last visit to America I was wearing a sober brown suit, blue shirt, yellow tie, brown loafers and I still had to spend 40 mins with the chaps from TSA who wanted to know how often I attended a mosque and why it was so infrequently.
Attending a mosque infrequently is suspicious?
Apparently.
One of the things about these Islamist terrorists is that early in their lives they are very bad Muslims (doing such things like fornicating, drinking, gambling, and not being very religious like going to mosque or praying five times a day.)
They than have an event which makes them ultra hardcore religious.
Sometimes I wonder given how bad a Muslim I am......
Genuine question. How stringent is the prohibition on alcohol in Islam?
I only ask because my experience is that Hindus and Sikhs are much more hostile to alcohol than Muslims are.
They're supposed to abstain completely from alcohol, but like any moral code some observe it to the letter and others not at all.
Friend of mine is a vegetarian Muslim, although he can be partial to the occasional bacon sandwich - especially if he's got a hangover!
I`ll be amazed if May is still PM in 2020.She looks really old for 59 her only idea since becoming PM was more Grammar Schools which does not resonate with many people,she bottled Hinckley Point,the budget was incompetent and devoid of ideas and all the problems of Brexit are likely to have emerged prior to 2020 as it is likely to be a new Labour leader The main reason why May might stay PM is for the same reason she got elected the lack of an alternative leader but Tories have 3 years to find somebody with charisma and fresh ideas
She does look older than 59, but that's not necessarily an indication of how energetic she may or may not be going forward. Brexit is what she will rise and fall on.

Somewhat silly comment. It was always to be expected that Italy would support Russia - they have form on this. If they have acted thus through hostility to Boris rather than on the merits of the case it says a lot about their very high level of pettiness. and I am not a Boris fan.

Actually might they be consultants in the medical sense? Wasn't public health hived off to the councils?

The last time a similar list came out, a lot of the biggest earners turned out to be either those who had just retired and taken a pension lump sum, or were on short-term consultancy contracts on a high day rate (e.g. Finance director at £1200 a day). I'm not sure anyone is actually on a "salary" of £300-£500k as is being reported.

They have a health and wellbeing programme which is not quite the same thing but like most large organisations now consultants' fees take up an ever bigger part of their budget

My parents would be very disappointed if I drank alcohol, but the general rule is what you do in private is fine, drinking alcohol in public as a Muslim is a no no.
IT is the opposition parties that bang on about independence all the time, that is all they ever come up with , it si quite unbelievable. They are obsessed.

Still doesn't make it right. They should not bargain with the compensation. They should have offered the $1350 openly and would have found 4 volunteers.

Cleveland Police used anti-terror powers to spy on two Press Association journalists, an internal review by the scandal-hit force has uncovered.
It brings the total number of journalists known to have been unwittingly snooped on by Cleveland Police to five.

Chief constable Iain Spittal said: “Following a ruling by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal earlier this year that in 2012 Cleveland Police had, in a small number of instances, used RIPA authorisations unlawfully the force launched a review of all such authorisations dating back to that time.
is a pile of bullcrap - it shouldn't have happened, a review should not have been necessary.

David, the campaigner who received death threats, believes the independence movement itself has become “the closest thing to a religion”.
He says the atmosphere of the Scottish referendum is incomparable to the EU referendum, divisive as it was: “In the depth of feeling and level this went to, it was a world apart from the EU referendum.”
As for his colleague, a veteran Labour campaigner who had “never experienced that sort of hatred” before, she has only one thing to say about a second referendum: “I think it will be worse.”

“The comments ranged from being called 'filthy Aids wog' to 'fuck off what you doing in Scotland anyway?’” he remembers. “These were usually comments from people who prior to the statements would talk about union and British unity.”

The best flying is when there are no more than two others in the plane (providing one out of you can actually fly, of course).
On a serious note, that does sound rather wearing.

Bar funerals, between the ages of 5 and 18 I went to mosque twice a year, and between the ages of 18 and 35 probably once a year, now its back to twice a year since I started living with my parents again.
After that burst of military aviation pedantry I now return you to your regularly scheduled luke warm middle class air travel anecdotes.
Although I do like ham sandwiches.
