I think that what some people may be overlooking is that unlike last year, the Government are really keen to make the lifting of restrictions a NATIONAL unlocking. That means that it is mistaken to be looking at the national averages for those getting impatient, but you need to be looking at the slowest ships in the convoy.
So basically you need to be watching the North East.
By North East I take it you mean Yorkshire? I bloody hope so. 'Cos we've been in Tier 4 since September 18.

If things become very bitter between the SNP and ALBA, a significant number of supporters of the latter might well abstain from casting a vote in the constituency ballot - indeed a few may decide to support other parties out of spite!
I still find it remarkable that two parties that hate each other viscerally at many levels are supposed to be a good thing for their common aim. It’s just weird.
Ridiculous law in ODI/T20 Cricket that Out reviewed becomes a dead ball not runs scored. England ran a run then, finger up after they'd ran, reviewed and it was never meant to be out.
If you're going to make it a dead ball then you should have to rebowl the delivery, not void the run scored and lose a ball left.

True. I wasn't aware of that law.
Me neither until the last ODI when it played in England's favour but at a less critical moment. Then it was given out LBW with the ball running to the ropes. Review shows the batsman nicked the ball so can't be LBW and should have been 4 runs but became dead ball instead.
At this stage where ever ball counts a dot ball is a bonus for the fielders.

All down to Labour's crap voting system that was to ensure the independence supporters never got a majority, they did a grand job.

Could cost England the game.
Strange rule, but it is the same for both sides I guess. Exciting game anyway

Indeed. Had that been a run, then he'd have had to have still gone for a yorker in the final delivery and a six would have sent it to a Super Over.

All down to Labour's crap voting system that was to ensure the independence supporters never got a majority, they did a grand job.
The voting system was designed (by the LDs) to stop Labour winning a majority. The SNP (6 MPs in 1997) weren't a consideration. If Labour had had their way, the system would be like Wales, where no matter how badly Labour do, they always get the FM.
Re- Hartlepool I see that S Markets now have Labour on 1.8 to back with the Tories at 2.2. How narrow a favourite does that make Labour?
55/45
I think they are worthy favs personally.
I feel in fact it is fairly uncomplicated: Labour won last time; Tories might have scraped it but for the third candidate; national polling since has moved to tighten the gap between labour and Tory from 11 points to 6; such polling as there is on red/blue wall area suggests a swing to Labour. A lot of the 'Get Brexit Done' vote both Brexit and Tory won't turn out. Labour will win but not by much and are rightly favourites. Personally happy if I am wrong, as Labour have not changed enough to deserve to hold the seat.
F1: writing the post-race ramble. Not a bad season opener.
Can't you just reuse any of the write-ups from last year? Or the last several years? Some cars drove round in circles for a bit and Lewis Hamilton won.
Mr. JohnL, if I reused the writeup from the last race in Bahrain it'd include me having a 61 winning tip, which was not necessarily the case this time.

Against that, is the local Tory Mayor is very popular, the Labour candidate was very anti-Brexit (and while the issue is gone, it still is important in the culture wars game) and we are on the way to a vaccine rollout. Add in that SKS doesn't seem to be enthusing the voters. I think it's more slight edge to the Tories.

They are not actively trying to stop Brexit now, well they can't, so, despite the person most responsible for trying to throw what Hartlepool's voters wanted in the bin now being Labour's leader, I don't think they will hold enough of a grudge. Tice should stand aside IMO and leave it to the Tories - If Farage has given up, the Brexit fight is won
Summary, the jury is out, but the potential link and mechanism is credible, and in a world of multiple vaccines, the Macron approach might be right for AZN - hold it back for the crusties.

Of course. Macron remains a self regarding fool, but the current scientific discussion of a possible rare clotting side effect is entirely appropriate, however inconvenient.

The capabilities of the Queen piece in chess are definitely an example of female liberation, because originally the Queen had a much more limited set of moves, and the newer version was mocked as the 'mad Queen' version till everyone realised it was more fun, and switched over. So I'd say calling it sexist (against women) is a definite misread.

The issue I have is with the recommendation to limit use. That sort of statement from random scientists just creates doubt and weapons for the anti-vaxxers.
The decision whether to use AZ for older or all people depends entirely on the population of a country, options they have available etc.

Crunching some numbers from the vaccination update to 25th March.
In Newham, 78.2% of 75-79 year olds and 78.1% of those aged 80+ have received a first vaccination so that's an improvement. 59% of all adults over 50 have received a first vaccination.
I was doing karate in the park, as I do every Sunday morning, and the wind was so strong it was quite difficult to keep my balance at times.
Every cloud...we’ve generated 40%+ of our electricity from wind all day today. That must be if not the first, one of the first times of doing so when demand wasn’t unusually low.
Its why we can't have airbridge nonsense. You can't trust every other country acts responsibly....and last year, if I was another country, I wouldn't have trusted flights from the UK, for the same reason.

The novelisations also said he was dead by 2022 (‘the bell rang for the Last Division’).
Although they said Bernard Woolley was still alive in 2024 and as we know, sadly Derek Fowlds isn’t.
