I’ve just come across this intriguing market from Smarkets on what will be the party of the next MP. The options listed on OddsChecker are featured above.
Don't know if the Assange documentary on BBC4 is a repeat but first time I've seen it. Regardless of the political rights and wrongs (which are now lost in the fog of culture wars in any case), but he's a dodgy creature, not quite the clean potato as my gran used to say.

Surely that sentence is the wrong way around? Isn't it the 'political rights and wrongs' that should indeed be debated, and whether Assange is a narcissist, rapist, indoor skateboarding cat botherer that enjoys smearing his walls with his own excrement is the 'fog' we need to see through?
Surely the salient fact is, that it would appear that the US Government can now reach beyond its borders to arrest foreign publishers who piss it off. To its credit, the loony left is the only group making this point, with the possible exception of some eccentrics like Peter Hitchins, who sometimes has a pop when something like this happens.
The senior circuit judge, speaking at Salisbury crown court, disclosed the extraordinary coincidence of being summoned to sit as a juror in a hearing he would be conducting.
“I was selected for jury service here at Salisbury crown court for a trial starting 23 April,” he said.
“I told the jury central summoning bureau that I thought I would be inappropriate, seeing I happened to be the judge and knew all the papers.
“They wrote back to me. They picked up on the fact I was the judge but said ‘Your appeal for refusal has been rejected but you could apply to the resident judge’, but I told them, ‘I am the resident judge’.

Justine Greening or Philip Lee look plausible, I think most of the Labour MPs who might join it in anger at Corbyn and Brexit have done so, a few more diehard Tory Remainers might go

Except the US Government has arrested no one, or has something happened today?
I understood that the arrest was for skipping bail and under British jurisdiction.
It is an intriguing bet, but with a couple of Tory MEP defections today, I think Tory most likely for MP too.
But all these Tory defections are surely going to repel further Labour defections.
There might be a lot of Labour MPs who are unhappy with Corbyn, but almost all of them also feel that austerity (and Tory economics generally) has been a disaster for their constituents. If there was a new, alternative Labour party being created, there would probably be a lot more defections, but the likes of Jess Phillips and Siobhain McDonagh don't seem interested in joining an Anna Soubry-style wet Tory party.
"PETE BUTTIGIEG'S blossoming presidential campaign is earning early financial assistance from key members of former President Barack Obama's administration.
Former national security adviser Susan Rice, deputy senior adviser Stephanie Cutter, press secretary Jay Carney, National Security Council spokesman Ned Price and U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy all donated to Buttigieg's 2020 presidential campaign during the first quarter of the year, according to new documents filed with the Federal Election Commission."

So essentially no one is really interested in being in a new party, they just want to be the same party but with different branding, if they cannot contemplate working with others. That's fine if there is nothing that could see them leave, and at least they do stay quiet for long periods since theres not much point being constantly vocal if the party could do anything and it wouldn't matter. Which by still being consumed by labour or Tory partisan issues is what they are doing.
It was before he was elected, but you have to question the intelligence of.somebody who thinks that is a good outfit for a charity fundraiser. Its not like he was on prince harrys stag do.
I liked the analysis. but he could have said it a lot faster...
Unfortunately the current youtube algorithm / payments has led to youtubers being rewarded best for 10 min videos.
I know, it's b****y annoying. Some tubers started padding out their videos a bit around last year, but others just make longer and loonger and loooonger ones. Consider @DougDeMuro or @CinemaSins, who are churning out 20mins+ videos compared to 5 or 10 mins ones in the past.
Labour councillor under investigation over pictures of him in an Adolf Hitler costume for children's hospice fancy dress fundraiser...
"Honey, I'm going to a fancy dress fund raiser. What should I wear?" "What's it for?" "A children's hospice" "Go as Batman?" "Too silly" "Superman?" "Too skinny" "Big Bunny?" "Too twee" "Adolf Hitler?" "GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ken would have something to say on this matter surely?

Maybe he left it late and that was the only outfit they had available in the shop.

This is the guy they are putting in charge of investigating any anti-semite activity. I have got that right haven't I?

"Bbbbut...haven't you got any costumes left?" "Well, now that you mention it..." "Great! I'll take it! "Don't you want to know what it is?" "Don' matter. I'll change in the car" [throws notes at her, runs out] "Suit yourself... "

Well he seems well qualified to find it, if nothing else...

Surely, it's a lot better than turning up as Jimmy Saville or Michael Jackson.

First like Lab in the 2019 Peterborough byelection.

Extraordinary measures could be used to call VONC.

But may be one of the most profound things I have read in a long time, bearing in mind I am half way through 'Uninhabitable Earth' by Wallace-Wells.
