Emperor Trump has the finest, most delicate suit of clothes. Only a fool would not see them!
As a Fox, I know how that feels.
Also: Big round of applause for Congress:
82% disapproval among Trump voters, 76% among Clinton voters, 77% overall (other voters and non-voters 64%)
As it happens, I don't believe Donald Trump conspired with the Russian government. It seems extraordinarily unlikely that a man whose campaign was based around long, rambling and incoherent speeches, combined with a bunch of undeliverable promises engaged in a conspiracy with a foreign power. Some of the people who worked for him, mind, may have been a little too keen to get information to help their candidate.
Back to cognitive dissonance: this is all about the slow drip, drip of information. It's death by a thousand cuts.
The cognitive dissonance comes from remembering Russia as a Communist enemy, when it is now an alt.right friend. Times have changed.
Sayfullo Saipov (from Uzbekistan and lately Tampa FL) is apparently his name.

It appears to be men with delusions of power choosing to exercise their "power" over "subordinate" men and women in a sexual manner. Because its not about sex, its power. I am being "handsy" because I am more important than you and can do what I like. Its pathetic.
The BBC isn't the only reputable news source.

Newsweek too

Now, the questions remains that if I know someone is into some things that squick me out, would I really discount that when deciding how to cast my vote, or would I psychologically justify voting for someone else even as my discomfort is the real factor? I'd hope not, but as Trump and supporters show, mental gymnastics are easy.
(That tweet of his, which I took as his own internal stage direction, has really tickled me, as memes go)
I have to say as well anything to do with a human being's back passage and sex is pretty damn revolting with a capital R and plenty of olting...eogh....I personally think waterports is most possibly a step up in relation to erotism...that is not really saying much mind...
Kate Maltby: Damian Green, you probably have no idea how awkward I felt

Robert Halfon who is a big May critic is also named by the Mail tonight as being on the list so it hits both her allies and her foes.
I went to a state school, since it apparently matters.
OK... I think I'm getting the hang of this new prudery malarkey.
@faisalislam: ..Starmer will use ancient procedure called a “Motion for Unopposed Returns” via a “humble address to Her Majesty” to get the impact studies
I suspect the truth is more likely that most MPs are pretty ordinary, or boring as you list it, which is hardly a character flaw.
The Department for the Moral Hygiene of the country will be set up shortly.
and "what it says is a binding vote" = "not actually a binding vote"?
Politics attracts odd people...full stop. It's the name of the game.
On public schools...no I am not saying they are more likely to mistreat women, what I am saying is that they are more likely to view women as sexual objects. And being segregated by gender, you get more desperate, and more likely to fall madly in love with your first shag....
(ii) "Unopposed Returns"—Governments may also lay papers by an older procedure: by moving a motion in the House for the "unopposed return" of the document they wish to lay before the House and be printed on its authority. The large number of papers now required to be laid by statute, combined with the more frequent use of "Command Papers" might have been expected to make this procedure obsolete. It has survived very largely[86] because of uncertainty over the extent to which Command Papers have absolute privilege. The procedure of an "unopposed" return was introduced originally to avoid the inconvenience of the House of having formally to consider motions by ministers for returns of largely uncontroversial information from their own Departments. It is now used by ministers almost exclusively in order to ensure that a report of a ministerial inquiry will not be subject to actions for defamation. Use of the procedure is infrequent. It is not popular with Departments since it involves three stages: a motion for the return in the name of the minister must be tabled (like any other motion) on a sitting day, moved (like any other motion) on a sitting day, and the return made (by publication of the report) on a sitting day. Most typically the report is of such moment that it is published on the day on which the motion is moved (though this is not essential) and the Minister will make a statement upon it to the House at 3.30 pm. Although other Members cannot oppose the motion, the procedure ensures that Members receive clear notice of presentation. A list of recent unopposed returns is set out in Annex B.

Especially those of us who attended all boys schools.
Each House has the power to callfor the production of papers by means of a motion for a return. A return from the privy council or from departments headed by a secretary of state is called for by means of an humble address to the sovereign...
It is rarely resorted to in modern circumstances since much of the information previously sought in this way is now produced incommand papers or in act papers or in response to questions. However the power has a continuing importance since it is regularly delegated to select committees, thus enabling them to send for papers an records.
In the commons the procedure also survives in the form of 'motions for unopposed returns' for particular documents which the minister responsible for the government department concerned wishes to make public (hence they are 'unopposed') but in respectof which the protection of statute afforded by an order of the House for printing or other publication is sought...
The power to send for papers by means of a motion for unopposed return extends to papers which are in the possession of Ministers or which Ministers have the authority to obtain. Papers should be ordered only on subjects which are of public or official character.
p352
Immediately after private business is the usual time for moving motions for returns of which notice stands upon the notice paper for the day, and which the minister responsible for the government department concerned has signified his readiness to render. Such motions are made by Ministers, and may be made either at this time or at an other convenient opportunity.
Because it is a settled principle that a motion for a return which is proposed by the Minister responsible for the department concerned ought not to be opposed by any other member, such opposition has been overruled by the Speaker.
In bold what Labour are relying on?
It occurred to me this evening that there's a wonderful example of the hypocrisy: Michael Gove making a rather funny joke comparing being interviewed on Today with a visit to Harvey Weinstein's hotel room is beyond the pale - trivialising rape etc etc - but Harriet Harman quipping about rumours of a leadership bid that "when a woman says no, she means no" was OK.
But most people choose their partner based on how they look.......and that is a pretty big decision.
(Though there are a few beautiful people in politics, Zac Goldsmith, Luciana Berger etc and Macron, Trudeau, Ardern and Kurz have all got elected recently helped in part by their youth and good looks).
But I assume advice was sought from the Clerk to the House, and it may be the latest, unpublished edition has been updated or there is some other precedent that applies that for brevity is not included.
