This has not been a good week for Donald Trump. Rant all he might at the impeachment hearings, they’re turning up deeply damaging testimony that would in any normal circumstance be career-ending. Trump is not, as he’s proven many times, politically normal but even he must have a limit as to how far he can push things.

And NOM has gone from 3.05 to 3.1.
Early rumours???
Lab Maj from 36 to 38
Lab Most Seats 16.5 to 17
eg Lab Maj:
£249 offered at 38
£127 wanting to back at 40
96% of commuters just want the trains to run on time and blame the nearest thing to hand (the unions) when they don't.
And yes I've asked every one of them.
Now, I'm soft on the Donald and hard on the Dems so my comments need to be seen in that light, but the coverage is heavily skewed by the anti trump msm and the dems having complete control over the process whilst it's in the house. All that changes if it goes to a full trial, and an acquittal will inevitably look bad on the Dems for pursuing an attempt to remove a sitting president, much as the Republicans attempt to oust Clinton did.
I wouldn't waste money on anyone being president that isn't the Donald before the election.
Together with the story he looks nothing more than an irrelevant, perhaps kindly, old bloke. Certainly not a leader of the type i think is what we want right now.
There really isn't much for a train driver to do other than press a button to declare they're awake (and alive) and respond to black swan events.
Of course, they hate SWR and FirstGroup as well, but the loathing is mutually exclusive.
As it is I'm dropping in a ton or two only. I may put more in by payday, unless the odds have come down to something silly like 1.2 or less.
Personally, I'd like to see total war declared on Mick Cash, but I accept that might be considered slightly hardline.

All seem very silly now but, when the vote was first called, this wasn't an obvious campaign to call at all and the polls were in very different places.
Such as the Decembrists and Freemasons fighting for the Russian Caesar against napoleon
Instead, more often than not in the public sector, it's used as a cocked pistol for routine annual pay and benefit negotiations.
Big One = £1,000
Stick = £Million (but not sure too many punters play at that level in politics)
There are plenty of witnesses saying they have no information or evidence of QPQ, and of course the dems arent talking about QPQ anymore, it's all 'bribery' now

People are acting as if a strike goes on and the services just stop, that isn't what happens.
This law is probably popular - but it won't actually make a difference. And I suspect the Tories know that.
Every Labour poster to this site is praying tonight for strike banning announcements in tomorrow’s manifesto. Every Labour MP in trouble needs the Tories to start a sort of ideological patriotic war where it doesn’t matter your opinion of the czar you are fighting for.
Game changer.
If we had unions everywhere, like the 70s, we'd have national stoppages and strikes in every sector you could think of (imagine Sainsbury's and Waitrose being empty due to regular lorrymen strikes) higher prices as a result, poorer choice as corporatism and consolidation occurred to counter the unions, and a sclerotic and unpredictable economy making it impossible for businesses to confidently invest. Everyone would be poorer and more miserable. It'd be an industrial relations masterclass in the tragedy of the commons.
And have you met many train drivers by the way, particularly in TfL? They are some of the most miserable people on the planet, despite having superb pay and benefits.
I think we'll take that as conceding the point then.
I'm sure the Cons will hope starting from next week there's not much of an election campaign.
If the tories can maintain the big swing towards them as we've seen in the north east then they could bank a lot of early votes towards them over the next week or so.
Eyes down and here we go...
In Germany they have wide collective bargaining, very high union membership and the result is very reliable trains, efficient public services and good wages.
"Back to the 70s" is the most boring and oft-repeated attack I see on this site. There is not one policy from Labour that would do that, it's as ridiculous as me calling Boris Johnson a facist.
CorrectHorseBattery, do you support Labour's proposals to end the ban on secondary strikes?
