There’s been another series of anguished Tweets from the incumbent of the White House following the latest impeachment polling commissioned by the channel that used to be his greatest supporter – Fox News.
Is there any polling on match ups between Pence and leading Democratic contenders ? Hard polling evidence removing Trump would save the White House is surely needed before the Senate establishment risked the wrath of primary voters.
Sky News is reporting that Downing Street has appealed to the bosses of FTSE-100 companies to publicly endorse Boris Johnson’s Brexit “compromise deal”.
Advisers to the prime minister have this week been canvassing support from business leaders for an open letter arguing that the uncertainty over Brexit “needs to end”.
Sources said “a substantial number” of Britain’s most prominent companies had been contacted during the last week to gauge their interest in signing the letter.
But they warned that it might not be published because of executives’ reluctance to back its contents amid concerns about its “overtly political” message.
If ERG MPs - and the DUP - end up accepting a Deal which they rejected when put forward by Theresa May, they will surely seem hypocritical and ridiculous. They would have to explain why they have put the country through such agony for no material gain

They seem to be gagging for the whole thing to fall apart because they will have a massive nervous breakdown when Boris delivers Brexit.....
But if it emerges that the proposals pretty much mirror what was on offer last March, many are going to wonder what has been the point of the turmoil of the last 6 or 7 months.

That does not answer the point at all - though might explain political pressure on them.How many would consider sending letters in to Graham Brady having been betrayed by Johnson.

95% of what was available in March was acceptable. Not great but acceptable. It was always the backstop that was the stumbling block. If a deal has been reached to give consent and make it OK then that was the point. Better that than locking us into an unacceptable backstop.

Maybe we should call a moratorium on commenting on today’s developments on the Wirral until we know what they are? I suspect that Johnson has blagged this by “promising” Leo something far more ambiguous than Leo realises - but I’ve been wrong before.
On the far more interesting subject of vacuum cleaners, I had a GTech as well: a main one and a handheld one. Both broke down. Rubbish. As did my Bosch handheld.
The old upright Panasonic was the best. My Henry was pretty good for years but it too broke down. I've had a Miele which now needs repair.
Basically there is little point spending any money on all these fancy bits of equipment, including kettles or toasters, because they all break down after a bit. Trying to find a repair shop is a bit of an endeavour. If we want to stop filling the land or the oceans with rubbish, reinstating the concept of repair shops / services would be a start. As well as building things that last.
I have recently taken to using a sharp handheld brush on my carpeted stairs. Works just as well and gives my arms a workout at the same time.
Anyway that's enough household tips for now.
Has bloody Brexit finally been solved? Or are we being led to the top of the hill by the Duke of York only to be led straight down again?

You clearly have a reasonable job. Might I suggest enjoying life a little more and hiring a cleaner.

Nothing quite like getting home after work to a sparkling house on cleaner day.

+1 - we have a cleaner and someone collects the ironing and does it. Life is too short to waste doing things like that when I can help the economy and get someone else to do the work.
As for electrical repairs - our Kenwood mixer has broken down after 15 years. Taking it to be repaired they said cheaper to get a new one (motor has gone and that's £120 to replace with other bits on top).
I think it has to be worth investing a few more Pence in this market. US economic data is still largely positive, and if the GOP can bin Trump off at the right time and in a way that protects the veep from the fallout, they get a shot at 2020 with a good ol' fashioned God 'n' guns Republican, against a Dem who has spent the last twelve months tilting at orange windmills.
I think we’ll know by tomorrow afternoon if there’s a chance of a deal .
That’s after Barnier and Barclay meet in the morning .
Correct. Any remaining ambiguities must be replaced with a legal draft for an international treaty, subject to the Vienna Convention, to be examined and approved by the General Affairs Council on friday, to then be conveyed to the European Council next week. The time for dithering is finally up.

I would suggest anyone betting on POTUS has something placed on Pence. DYOR mind.

The cleaner at my office, and the cleaner at my old office, and the cleaner at my office before that, all had Henrys. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to clean every motherf*cker in the room, accept no substitutes.
The White House is just three blocks away but sadly I haven't yet come by any inside info to share.
Everywhere I went in the US, people told me how awful DC was and not to bother. Yet it's a lot more liveable than most US cities - think St John's Wood meets Milan.

If Trump falls but Pence doesn't, I don't think the GOP will go with Pence. He'll be tainted by association and he's not a very good campaigner in his own right, and he's weird even by evangelical standards.

Vienna Convention only applies to treaties between states. It doesn't cover treaties where a party is an international organization.

I am a freelancer so never know what money is coming in. No point wasting it on extravagances like a cleaner. I spent enough on household help when the children were small and it was needed. Now they can clean their own rooms and after themselves.
Anyway, I like doing my own cleaning or getting my children to do it. One of them is going all Marie Kondo on me with the kitchen tea towels. And I enjoy life fine. I just hate the idea of buying stuff which breaks down and has to be thrown away.
You are talking to possibly the last woman in London who has repeatedly had her video recorder repaired and still has it, attached to a TV, waiting for the time when I will have the time to watch all those videos I patiently recorded over the years.
When I bought all of the kitchen appliances when me and Wor Lass set up home they threw in a kettle and toaster for free. 25 years later the toaster was still going strong, and when we sold our flat the buyer asked us to leave it as part of the deal, which we did.

Vienna Convention does not apply.
Edit. I see RPJS below has already pointed this out.
I like doing the ironing. It’s the one thing in the week which starts in disorder and ends tangibly in order.
I long ago eliminated all shirts from my wardrobe to avoid just this sort of tedious activity. Anything else hung on a washing line in a bit of a breeze is ironed enough for me.

I should have asked for an extra twenty quid!
Dualit toasters are great and can be repaired. They seem to have realised that a pop-up spring is a counterproductive mechanism in a toaster (toast goes cold quicker when popped up) and just makes them far more fragile. A solid lever is what you want!

Pence will be the sitting President.
I don't think they'll have a lot of choice. The "base" will be furious that Trump has been ejected, and they will want someone close to him.
Indeed, Pence would be perfect for Senate Republicans - he'll been seen as continuing Trump's legact but being sufficiently malleable.
Not only that but don't forget that the RNC has severely limited the Primary process in 2020. Picking someone other than the President will be tough.

None - am I correctly in thinking that a new Tory leader now has 12 months' immunity from challenge? He could sling any rebels out without a care!

Our Shark kicks our old Dyson's ass in my experience. Our even older Henry was pretty good but I have appropriated that to sook rusty detritus out of bike petrol tanks (still to break this news to partner).

Which market? Pence as next POTUS is IMO much more likely than Pence winning WH2020. He will only stand as presidential candidate if it is not possible to get any other candidate in place.

I read that as, 'somebody who was a Spectator columnist when Johnson was editor.' Was there more to it?
If they call themselves National Conservatives I’m collecting my consultancy fee.
Two questions: (1) won't they all lose their seats fighting as independents? And (2) why is Rory Stewart not involved?
Because he's not standing at the next election?
I know that. But the talks didn't start this morning. Rory has been very close to David Gauke, who was one of his supporters, and for whom Rory worked. He would seem a natural fit for this sort of grouping.

Question: how many people on here want Boris to fail?
I’m guessing hardcore Corbynites, who don’t care about Brexit. Any others? Any ultra Remainers who still prefer Remain, even at the risk of No Deal? Or maybe some BXPers?

Well that’s open to misinterpretation
I don't think anyone doubts Boris has a solid lever, even if there is some speculation he's a less than solid Leaver.

"The UK will deport EU citizens after Brexit if they do not apply for the right to remain in time, Home Office minister Brandon Lewis says.
He told a German newspaper they would have to leave even if they met all the criteria for a residency permit."

The issue is the time taken for the legislation. I think a technical extension would be needed .
If MPs agree to pass the deal they should amend this to include that extension which the EU will be happy to agree with .
This could be set before the general election.
Johnson’s obsession with the 31 October shouldn’t be allowed to avoid proper scrutiny of the legislation, a few weeks more is no big deal.

This repulsive betrayal corrodes Trump’s base in a very unique way. It could finish him. Let’s hope so.
I don't think they'll have a lot of choice. The "base" will be furious that Trump has been ejected, and they will want someone close to him.
