Lol @ Pest control being needed to remove the mouse. Does noone own a cat at broadcasting house ?
It’s clearly full of metropolitan types who have never come across anything so horrible as a dead mouse before. Get a piece of card, slide it under the box, lift the whole thing up and put it in the bin outside.
Or don't be a softcock and just pick the fucking thing up. When we all went Catch-22 at the end of the Basra triumph dead rodents were a source of much humour. In an attempt to stem the biblical plague at the airport they were poisoned in great numbers so great mirth could be obtained by putting one in your oppo's boot while he slept.
I still think one of the great what ifs is if the revelation about John Major's playing hide the purple parsnip with Edwina Currie broke at the height of Back to Basics.
I reckon a resignation followed by Ken Clarke becoming PM.
I reckon Hezza's dicky ticker would have ruled him out.
Portillo was too young and callow and the MPs were still one nation aligned and the members didn't get a look in.
Major only won in 1990 as he was not Heseltine and MPs voted for Hague over Clarke in 1997.
More likely Michael Howard may have taken over if Portillo did not get it
No way. Howard was toxic at that time, and Widdecombe would have torpedoed him.
The Derek Lewis affair was well after Major would have gone because of Currie

I am not sure whether you are just blinkered by your hatred of anyone pro-EU, but your analysis is way out. Ken Clarke had a huge following then in the PCP. Michael Howard was no-where near
Evidence? Clarke would have got mainly the same MPs backing him who backed Heseltine in 1990 when Heseltine lost to Major
Remember that incredibly tricky "lawyerly trick" question that Kavanaugh was asked during the confirmation hearing, the one where Kavanaugh acted like he'd never even heard of the law firm?
Turns out he's close friends with an attorney who works at the firm.
The Republicans really are still sore about Bork and are looking to settle scores.
Kamala Harris is a star. No wonder she is favourite for Democrat nominee. She ticks all the boxes. She is number 46. At 10s on Betfair.
No she is not, at the moment Biden and Sanders are followed by Warren.
On Betfair she's the favourite.
Which does not correlate with the Democratic primary polling at all where she is barely an asterisk including in early voting states and in general election polling Trump has beaten Harris but he always trails Biden and Sanders
Because punters know polling this far out usually isn't an accurate predictor of the nominee.
It was for Romney 2012 or Dole 1996 or Mondale 1984 in terms of candidates selected against incumbent Presidents
Good on yer Barnier. The Leaver headbangers need to be reminded that the modern EU is essentially a Thatcherite construct, which is why Corbyn hates it so much.
The single market was largely her brainchild and the denationalisations that took place across Europe and the liberalisation of markets that followed and the integration of Eastern Europe into the EU were things that would not have happened without British membership and Mrs Thatcher's leadership.

I thinks it’s more that HYUFD sees both the past and the future through the prism of the present. Things were different then, just as they will be different in the future.
If things were different then Heseltine would have won the Tory leadership in 1990 and Clarke the Tory leadership in 1997

Suprising how much bullshit is written about the Middle East. Lebanon which doesn't recognise Israel (wants to drive them into the sea PB speak)... is full of Jews.
Lebanon is the most religiously diverse country in the Middle East.[178] As of 2014 the CIA World Factbook estimates the following: Muslim 54% (27% Sunni Islam, 27% Shia Islam), Christian 40.5% (includes 21% Maronite Catholic, 8% Greek Orthodox, 5% Melkite Catholic, 1% Protestant, 5.5% other Christian), Druze 5.6%, very small numbers of Jews, Baha'is, Buddhists, Hindus and Mormons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon
Well there goes what was left of Boris’ leadership ambitions. If his own wife can’t trust him then why should the rest of us?
Absurd. As Bill Clinton, Trump, Berlusconi, Mitterand and Chirac proved voters do not care about politicians private lives if they connect with them.on the issues of the day.
Plus Eden was a divorcee too for example.
If not Boris anyway his supporters will just transfer en masse to Mogg as the next best anti Chequers Deal and pro hard Brexit candidate
Well that could be true. I suppose the one advantage of Boris is that he doesn't really believe in Brexit because although he looks stupid he isn't, and also he has the other advantage of not looking like an unfortunate love child from a union between Heinrich Himmler and Walter the Softy
If Boris goes you get Mogg, who really does believe in hard Brexit above all else

Mr. Pioneers, we'll see if there's a split. But if the moderate frogs don't jump soon, they'll be boiled.
Starting a new party is difficult under FPTP but it's a hell of a lot easier if you're the official Opposition and have 100+ MPs to start with. If those MPs just retire, accept the Cult of Jezbollah, or are deselected, the major presence of the left in British politics won't be split. It'll just be so far to the left they think marching with hammers and sickles is normal human behaviour.
Still, I'm sure Corbyn will lay a wreath for the fallen moderates.
Its not the party thats the problem. Its the deranged entryist fucks who have swept in who think its solidarity to invite in fucking Press TV who can air a special of their meeting inbetween a programme explaining the evils of Israel and why it needs to be swept into the sea and why gay men need tl be persecuted and executed.
We cannot leave. We will not leave. Because if we do these fuckwads hand the country to the Tories.
It's too late. Join us in the North East Party and help build a reasonable progressive alternative.
Build a Tory majority having split the left you mean
Let’s play a thought game
Corbyn wins the next election and you play an important role in that
A handful of British-born Jews leave the country voluntarily because they no longer feel welcome
Are you proud of yourself?
British Jews leave the country every year but this will only be headline news under Corbyn, and it will be headline news.

If I wanted to win a general election I'd probably do the exact opposite of whatever ConHome Tory members want.

I'm no authority on Mogg, but I read him as essentially like Corbyn in that he's not very ambitious personally but is very keen on certain issues being effectively promoted. So I think your conclusions are right - he will stand if he thinks he's the most effective candidate for Moggism.
