Sending best wishes to PBer JohnO – politicalbetting.com
I’m sure PBers will join me in sending our best wishes to JohnO who suffered a cardiac arrest earlier on this month, Esher and Walton Conservatives said last week.

Until then - no commenting below the line. Not good for the old ticker!
Thanks Mike for the update.
Very lucky someone who knew CPR came along. Fingers crossed for a swift and full recovery.
Many thanks to Mike and all pb for your kind wishes.I’m back in Hersham Towers since yesterday….and as this is ‘politics’, everyone at NHS St Peters and I mean everyone was simple fantastic in the care, kindness and effectiveness. And I owe so very much to the dog-walker (who I know) for the CRP. I’ve also been consoling myself by reading all the pb threads.
It all happened so suddenly, didn’t feel a thing and can’t even remember the few days before the incident - it’s all a complete blank.
Anyway the problem was essential an arrhythmia which should be completely solved by my now having an ICD. Feeling generally fine but knackered. But we’ll start councilling again gradually.
Cheers to y’all. John

That’s one of the most cheering posts I’ve read on here. Great that you’re able to respond.
Great to hear (hope my Midlands thread brought great cheer!).
hope you get back on your feet asap
Best wishes
Mr |Brooke
Best Wishes.
And a well done to that dog walker
Leicestershire have saved the follow on against Hampshire.
They were all out for 84.
Best wishes from the eco-socialist wing of the PB community!
My key test is Harrow, if Harrow starts to see an explosion in cases then we're in trouble. That's middle class Indians who have got higher vaccine uptake than white English middle classes. I'm really increasingly confident that this variant panic will become nothing in a few weeks.
149 ahead. That’s a ballsy call.
I imagine Tim Oliver won't be challenged but the Deputy Leader post is up for grabs and the Cabinet will look very different with Colin Kemp and Julie Iles both losing their seats.
Now I’ve said that, of course, the’ll be all out for 20 inside 11 overs.
Get well soon my friend
Say what you like, they haven't been dull this season.

Look after yourself.
The point of the post was to link to a cartoon in the latest edition of Viz - a modern take on Mutiny on the Bounty where those cast adrift with Captain Bligh are being lucky about the food Fletcher Christian gave them in order to survive.
Worth buying the magazine for
Now, off topic and in a completely different world, has anybody come across a stupider headline than the one in today's Telegraph in the "Saturday Comment" section:
"William is winning the battle of the Royal brothers" ?

I'll wait for @OpiniumResearch, but that's a lurch downwards in Labour's trend line from @YouGov

‘The Pentagon strongly suspects that aliens exist’

It’s also irresponsible. A gross exaggeration

I mean who would have guessed that if the private sector think policing is going to be reduced and there has been widespread distrurbances ongoing in some cities for months on end, that they see an opportunity....and the rich will of course pay for it...like they do in South Africa.
On Bashir/Diana
All these journos/former journos going holier than thou. I recon Boris Johnson, Julian Knight and the whole chorus of critics would have done exactly the same as bashir if they thought they could get the journalistic scoop of the century.
‘The Pentagon strongly suspects that aliens exist’
Can anyone think of a more mind-boggling headline from history?
‘Ice Age ends’
‘Jesus rises again, has vegan breakfast’
Maybe
What a time
Certainly, if we ever do get the bald headline: ALIENS EXIST, VISIT EARTH

And they are in the unique position that they are publicly funded and place themselves as moral arbitrators on so many matters.
Nobody makes me pay for the Sun, Mail, Mirror etc, and I never buy them, but I have to pay for the BBC so I can watch Sky Sports....
They need one of these two in order to move into the favourites position.
Admittedly, he isn’t a thief or a racist (afaik) which puts him a bit above their league.
But.
As Team Boris will continue to point out, that just makes him a mad bloke ranting on twitter, and they're ten a penny. Trusted by nobody, bitter because Boris dumped him and frankly discredited. If he wants to cut through, it needs to be on record, unambiguous and in BoJo's hand.
And there's some truth in all of this- if he really wanted to blow the whistle, he'd have done a lot more good blowing it a damn sight earlier than this.
However, Domski has joined the long list of those who BoJo took up and betrayed. Johnson was never going to bring in Dom's technocracy. There's a warning there for all the Boris Boys...

The problem was Gove and Johnson took his ill informed BS seriously.
So for several periods he was a mad bloke ranting on Twitter with considerable executive authority.
