The big developments in the WH2020 race have been an appearance by one-time Democratic nomination favourite, Beto O’Rourke on Oprah’s V show and reports on BuzzFeed that the man toping the nomination polling, 76 year old Joe Biden, has made no contact at all with the states that hold their primaries first.

Is there anything better? Not sure there is."
Better, but more transient, is the pleasure of opening a new tub of drinking chocolate, as the spoon breaks that paper seal.
(Plus, there's no risk of decapitation from the driver taking a wrong turn and whacking a low bridge....)
I've read news articles stating that the EU chiefs have responded by ruling out any legally binding changes, and read other articles stating that the EU have opened the door to legally binding changes which will be determined by end of February.
What's really going on?
"They are also inclined to despise rabbits, and rabbit-rearing for the table has never been extensively practiced in Britain. On the other hand they will eat young rooks, which are shot in May and baked in pies...."
"The fish fried in oil to which the British working classes are especially addicted is definitely nasty, and has been an enemy of home cookery, since it can be bought everywhere in the big towns, ready cooked and at low prices...."
"The other main category of puddings – milk puddings – is the kind of thing that one would prefer to pass over in silence, but it must be mentioned, since these dishes are, unfortunately, characteristic of Britain. They are preparations of rice, semolina, barley, sago or even macaroni, mixed with milk and sugar and baked in the oven. The one made with barley is somewhat less bad then the others: the one made with macaroni is intolerable to any civilised palate...."

I don’t really buy that it is racist, but what absolute twat would buy such an item of clothing.

It isn't even in top five of the most expensive footwear I own.
You decadent materialist.
I don't think so.
Lay till the cows come home.
That said I never bought the most comfortable pair of shoes I ever tried on.
It was like angels were massaging your feet whilst you wore them, alas they were made out of crocodile leather.
Still is my 'favourite' piece of clothing.
£750 for a scarf that looks like a lady's private parts.

Corbyn's "shift" is all about kneecapping May. The EU has said to her "Corbyn's deal could get a majority, we don't need to indulge you". And all May emerged with today was a plaintive moan about Tusk's language.
(Oxfordshire anecdote: Part of the planning conditions for Soho Twathouse were that it had to be signposted from major roads, following an agreed route that avoided the twistier lanes. Soho deliberately held back on implementing this for a couple of years because they wanted to play up the "rustic" aspect, and as far as they were concerned, people following the crow-flies route down tiny lanes was all helping the rural cachet of the place.)
Just read Polly Toynbee in the Guardian having a go at Corbyn and judging by the comment section labour are haemoraging support
#CorbynsCustomsUnion or ERG leader only 2 ways out IMO
With the meetings planned upto the end of this month expect an agreement with the EU on a modified political statement and three month delay conditional on the HOC approval for deal
That will concentrate minds
Within the decade we'll rejoin the single market, because it makes sense.
Then a while after we'll go full rejoin.
I take back all my criticisms of the ERG.
Long may it continue.
But my heart is with Waluigi.
Also, vague assurances from the Irish government will help May not a jot.
Edit, yay, back to something like normal.
When Robbie left Take That approximately 98% of ALL voters thought it was the wrong decision.
But the decision stood because it had been taken. By Robbie.
And he went on to record Angels.
When Leavers like Raab said Remaining was better than Mrs May's deal then I salute their brilliance and vision.
More joy in heaven over sinners repenting etc.
Mumsnet has reported itself to the information commissioner after a data breach resulted in users accidentally logging into the accounts of strangers.
A botched upgrade to the software the forum runs on meant that for three days, if two users tried to log in at the same time, there was the possibility that their accounts would be switched. Each user was able to post as the other, see their account details, and read private messages.
The company doesn’t know how many user accounts were affected, but says that over the three days the bug was live, from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday morning, about 4,000 users logged in. Of that, only 14 users have reported an issue.
Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts apologised to users in a post, saying: “You’ve every right to expect your Mumsnet account to be secure and private. We are working urgently to discover exactly how this breach happened and to learn and improve our processes. We will also keep you informed about what is happening. We will of course be reporting this incident to the information commissioner.”
Mumsnet confirmed to the Guardian that it has now self-referred to the Information Commissioners Office, as it is legally required to do in the event of a data breach.

And without bothering with a referendum.
Democracy go hang yourself.
Testing out these new emojis
Let’s do it.
Dreadful song isn't it.
Is it the sound of Brexit Britain?
I hope not.
