However you look at the next Conservative leadership betting there’s one thing that is probably not going to happen – that the two men heading the betting at the moment, old Etonians Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg, are not going to be fighting each other in the membership ballot which, of course, is of the two who top the secret ballot of party MPs.

Such would be the unconfined joy of the masses that peace and goodwill would universally prevail and Burnley FC would win the Champions League in a trice and Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott would once again find love on a motor-cycle and sidecar down the highways and byways of East Germany.

And her majority is too small.
No chance.

Maybe the initial tweet was a joke at the idea that she was some kind of Remainer plant?
Now they can return.
Labour moderates should take note - or are they too spineless ?
You say "In my view tax funding is limited and should be applied as effectively as possible. Clegg’s argument “relieving pressure on budgets” implies that he knows how to spend family money better than they do which is an ideological approach to government not a pragmatic one in my view"
What is "family money"? The tax payer is not necessarily the same as the tax receiver. If tax funding is limited how do you justify state pensions for the wealthy? I think the answer is a pragmatic one - just as it is for free school meals.
I then proceeded to very publicly criticise the person who wrote it, characterising them as lazy and disinterested.
I learned a valuable lesson from the conference chair's reply: 'I wrote this myself, actually.'
(Mind you, what I said was still true.)
Auto-correct and text to speech on mobile phones/iPads are a nightmare when righting (sic) PB threads.
My boss typed in 'macromedi.com' instead of macromedia. And guess what came up?
Yep, pron. Someone had domain-sat on a mis-spelling of the company name, knowing a small fraction of the people who made the mistake still meant visitors.
The Macromedia bods were rather shocked, and apparently unaware of it.
Reasonably entertaining too.
I think what may help the Lib Dems next time is Labour voters in say Richmond being more happy to switch. This election even in Richmond I would have voted Labour as they were given a lot of criticism for going a direction I wanted so it felt really important to show my support with a vote regardless of the effect on the seat. Next election I would imagine Labour voters like me being more relaxed about switching to Lib Dem in the few places it would make a difference.
I remember one guy for example arguing with me that Labour had got less votes than members in the Richmond by election, this kind of thing and other criticism's probably drove people to vote Labour even where a Lib Dem vote would have been better in Anti-Tory terms.

A row has broken out at Labour's National Policy Forum (NPF) gathering after a vote to elect a new chair was cancelled.
The winner of the election, expected to have been Ann Black, would have joined the eight-strong group of "(core) officers" within Labour's National Executive Committee (NEC), which is considered to have six pro-Corbyn members.
Despite being a left-winger, Ann Black does not enjoy the support of the pro-Corbyn Momentum group. There are claims pro-Corbyn members stopped the vote as part of wider efforts to control Labour's NEC.
Schools cannot 'fix' such social problems, only paper over the effects. It is a parenting issue, either through lack of money or lack of care. In fact, removing the responsibility for failing parents to feed their children harms the situation, not improves it.
On the other hand, good parents will lose precious parenting time with their children if the children eat at school ...
I remember some shocking calls by Daryl Harper when he was in the hot seat.
He missed a massive inside edge because he had his headphones on silent.
The danger now is that Farage will start a new party of the radical and populist right -which he has threatened to do. Bolton's removal may well be the trigger for that. It is th duty of every democrat to make sure that a new Farage party fails. Such a party would get a huge boost if Remoaners put wind into its sails with their attacks on older voters and with their incessant plots to frustrate the referendum result.
Politics is already in its worst state since the Second World War with one of the worst governments and most appalling oppositions in British history without a bitter rump of the Remain cause driving frustrated working class people into the arms of the poisonous right.
Good evening, everybody.
Miss JGP, good evening.

Though the Tories have implemented UKIP 2015 policies such as departure from the EU, removing EU directives which harm the UK economy, aiming for a bespoke trade agreement with the EU, setting an immigration target of under 100,000 a year (though not quite the 5 year ban on unskilled immigration and points system UKIP wanted), an increased personal allowance, reduction in the cap on benefits, restriction of child benefit to two children and protection of most of the Green Belt

Me, I'm still seething about the TMO's call in the 2007 World Cup Final
Also, the Welsh decision would've merely decreased the scale of their defeat.
