Earlier on this week I wrote that I wanted to back Sir Patrick McLoughlin as next out of the cabinet market, but not at 10/1, one of PB’s most astute gamblers, Richard Nabavi has flagged up to me that Betway are offering 33/1 on Sir Patrick being the next cabinet minister to resign.

Bet sounds interesting. Too sleepy to decide if I'd back it but, as I cunningly don't have a Betway account, it's a moot point anyway.

Only 6% of the membership are aged 18-25 apparently. Oh dear....
That I would have liked to have seen.
I must say I love the idea of EU fans waving German sausages at the Proms

I do hope you aren't one of those remainers who think the proles are too stupid to vote.

Marr quizzing him on his own failure to impose transition controls on free movement from the new accession countries in 2004
The better solution is social insurance as used to pay for social care by many countries from Japan to the Netherlands
Organisers estimated there were between 10,000 and 15,000 people at the start of the march, adding that numbers rose to about 50,000 at its height as people joined along the way.
The police did not provide any estimates and the BBC is unable to verify these figures.

We experience climate as weather, and when exceptional events occur more frequently, then perhaps we should alter the way we do things.
It will convince precisely no-one else who is not already a true believer, nor does it attempt to; it's there to make the faithful feel good about themselves, and ridicule the rest.
I suspect what really upsets the Left is that because the German fans - at least the away fans - have been infiltrated by a significant number of Nazis - it actually gives credibility to the England fans reminding the Germans of their past.
We had something similar in this country a few years ago. I went to Stamford Bridge the week after the John Terry/Anton Ferdinand incident and, predictably, the Arsenal fans made the most of it. But for some reason, Arsenal and fans of other clubs were criticized for making the most of John Terry using racist language.
The emphasis is of course on if I could!
There were 28,000 at Lord’s yesterday, by way of comparison.
Warmism damages rainforests - does not compute
Yebbut 97% of Ther Scientists agree that Warmism damages rainforests - OMG, now I understand what you are saying.
And this isn't an isolated case. "Renewable" wood pellets are being shipped around the world at the cost of more fossil fuel than is saved by burning them. Still, the cartoon otherwise makes a reasonable point, which is one I have been making for years: if we could adopt a precautionary stance about adopting a precautionary stance, and do anti-warmist stuff if and only if it has other benefits as well, that is fine. What we get is ill-informed market distorting policies which make the warming situation worse and do extensive collateral damage on top.
And that after 3 months of being written off as past it by Scotland's London run media!
Tone still looking for ways to REMAIN I see...
Some 58% say there should not be another independence referendum in the next few years, up from 52% in May. Support for Scottish independence has slipped from 45% in the 2014 referendum to 43%, while opposition is up two points to 57%.

“Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change,” science journalist Peter Gwynne reported. Statements like that are uttered all the time these days, but for the exact opposite reason. One outlandish suggestion for the perceived crisis involved “melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot.”
I frankly do not believe that poll.
A lot of environmentalism has a very practical conservative purpose. Where I draw a line is when it turns from science to dogma. If low carbon is required then nuclear fuel is zero carbon yet the Greens won't consider it.
Sounds like this might be part of the whole Renault-McLaren-STR-Honda deal.

I do wonder if events South of The Border might be having an impact North of The Border.
We'll see what announcement there is on McLaren.
What is busted is an imminent second bite at the independence cherry.
SLAB has had a lot of negative publicity surrounding Kezia's standing down and is effectively leaderless for the present and some months to come. The options being discussed look pretty uninspired too. Even so, I suspect that the Panelbase poll has understated their support to the benefit of the SNP.
MEANWHILE FREE FROM SUNDAY TIMES SPIN AND BACK IN REALITY
Because to mark 20 years since the referendum which paved the way for devolution, the paper asked respondents for some opinions on how Holyrood had done, and the answers were pretty positive. When asked whether the existence of the Parliament had made things better or worse in a number of areas, the results were:
NHS
Better: 44%
Worse: 20%
About the same: 35%
ECONOMY
Better: 37%
Worse: 26%
About the same: 37%
EDUCATION
Better: 35%
Worse: 32%
About the same: 33%
GIVING SCOTS MORE SAY IN RUNNING THEIR OWN COUNTRY
Better: 49%
Worse: 13%
About the same: 38%
THE ONLY THING THE TRULY DISGRACEFUL ST CANNOT DISTORT IS THAT THE SNP IS STILL LEAVING THE UNIONIST PARTIES IN THEIR DUST.
Most of you assume that the tartan editions of The Sunday Times or The Times or The Telegraph are like their parent papers in London. In other words they all have their editorial lines but by in large their reporting has some reference point to the truth.
They are not. These tartan editions are occupied by small cabals of three or four die hard unionists like Jason Allerdyce and the pals he has recruited who will manipulate any information and present it as negative to the SNP and or independence.
Thus a poll showing after 20 years the Parliament is generally highly popular on every subject is cited (absurdly) as third of those who didn't want it in the first place would now vote to abolish it!
The SNP who are 15 per cent up on the first elections of 1999 and ten per cent up on their result of 2007, after a decade in power, are lanquishing only 14 POINTS AHEAD of their nearest unionist opponent!
Thus it is best not to cite copy from the Sunday Times as anything other than something akin to political leaflets.
The only thing to not from this poll is that contrary to the hopes of unionist papers and posters and despite months of consistent attacks the SNP is still well ahead.
As with everything to do with the climate, the very straightforward basic lab science does not transfer easily into the vastly more complex real world.
I would certainly not plead this apparent lull in activity as evidence against global warming which I accept is happening. It does suggest, however, that the cause and effect here (if any) is a little more random than you indicate.
Tom Knutson, a NOAA meteorologist at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J.
"We really can't detect these changes yet in the existing data in the way we can detect in changes, for example, in the global mean temperature," he said. The NOAA doesn't see a "clear existing signal in storm data" going back to the 1800s that proves the two storms are part of a departure from the cycle of natural variability
I think we would struggle to see a clear pattern. There was a peak in the 1930s-40s but it looks pretty consistent with a very slight downward trend otherwise.
The criteria of US landfall may not be the most meaningful of course but it is strange. More energy should equal more violence but it does not seem to be doing so.
You're not worried.
Not at all.

That's not how "t'" works. You've fallen into the Michael Macintyre[sp] trap of failing to understand how Yorkshire words work.
.... Unglaublich!
You see one of the contenders to be the new Scottish Labour leader is a former public schoolboy Yorkshireman with a broad Yorkshire accent.
Apparently both of those may be a hindrance with Scottish voters.
