Big Tottenham Hotspur takeover news; They have been bought by a billionaire from Dubai. The deal has been rumoured for some weeks now and will be announced formally next week . Reports suggest the billionaire is Sheik Hanvak. He is going to put the freshness back into the club.
Gosh, I skim read that and thought the billionaire Rishi Sunak had bought Tottenham Hotspur.

Conservative 41% (-3) Labour 34% (+1) Liberal Democrat 9% (-1) Scottish National Party 5% (+1) Green 5% (+1) Reform UK 3% (–) Other 2% (-1)

We are starting to see a few signs that Tories numbers are down a bit, has been average of ~43% for so many months now. The big difference again is always the Labour number, is it ~30% or is it ~36%, or somewhere in between.
The LibDems also appear to have moved from 6-7% to 8-10% on the back of C&A - the question is whether that is sustained, or whether they'll drift back down again.

On those numbers Labour would hold Batley
How would they have done in Hartlepool on the contemporary (contemporaneous?) National polling? Lose by 28%? Redfield & Wilton had a 2% Tory lead at the time
There was a far bigger Brexit Party vote in Hartlepool in 2019 though, 25% for the Tories to squeeze compared to just 3% in Batley and Spen
But don't forget the Woollens voters. One would like to, but they are very much still there.

The biggest thing in Hartlepool was Conservatives hoovering up the BXP vote. Apply the same principle here with both BXP and the Wollies (who seem to be even more right-wing populist) and this ought to be a walk in the park for the Conservatives.
Around here several have become leave and take kiosks for things like unwanted books, excess garden veg etc. Community councils seem to keep them in some sort of order.
Edit, 55 years ago it was very different. At Worthy Down, just outside Winchester there was an army base with a lot of Scots including my father. On a Saturday night there would be a queue down the street as everyone phoned home and passed the weekly news. It was not the done thing to use more than about 3 coins and those who were thought to have done so would receive a tut on the way out. Probably had more trouble getting served in the NAAFI shop too. As a young kid this is how I spoke to my Grand parents who were in phone boxes in Dundee. No one had a phone in their house in those days and the idea you might have one in your pocket would have been laughable.
58 years and a couple of days ago I had to send a telegram (remember them) to my in-laws, who didn't have a phone, advising them of the birth of their first grandchild. Mother-in-law didn't like phone boxes so got the bus to the next town, where f-i-l worked, to tell him.

Indeed, there is a For Britain candidate, an English Democrats candidate and a UKIP candidate on the hard right however.
So the outcome could well depend on the Woollens not going to them rather than to the Tories and Galloway taking a large share of the Muslim vote if the Tories are to win the by election

Expect George to pick up a proportion of the Woollens too.

No posting from honeymoon then. Lack of commitment there. You know that Jack Nicklaus played lots of golf on his? Yep - that's why he has 18 majors.
I think spending hours on PB on honeymoon would not have gone down well with the Mrs and rightly so.
We had a nice time though, went to lots of lovely villages and small towns, Castle Combe, Tetbury, Chipping Camden, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Norton and Sudeley Castle and Snowshill, Cheltenham and Worcester. We also had Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse staying in the same hotel as us near Tewkesbury for a few days, no doubt filming something

Yes, been married for over a week now thanks and just returned from a Cotswolds honeymoon
Congrats HYUFD.
Only surprised that you chose to spend your honeymoon in our rapidly-turning-orange Cotswolds!
Well I was a Tory Remainer don't forget! Technically though while Cotswolds District was 51% Remain, Tewkesbury District where we were staying was 53% Leave

57 years of marriage and my wife did explain how she said to the 'Good Lord' just after our wedding ceremony, for 'Him' to allow her to take back her promise to 'love and obey' and she has acted, accordingly, ever since, God bless her.
Three Sri Lanka players have been sent home from their tour of England for breaching bio-secure protocols.
Vice-captain Kusal Mendis, opener Danushka Gunathilaka and wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella have all been suspended by Sri Lanka Cricket.
It follows images, shared on social media, appearing to show the trio in Durham city centre.
After the performance in the T20s I would be quite keen to be sent home from the tour myself. Really, really poor, especially with the bat. They are probably the weakest test side right now across all formats.

Incredible if it is is legit. I struggle to believe it can be - residual brainshwashing that Labour are the good guys affecting me maybe
Sir Keir needs to come out and say this leaflet, if it is an offical Labour leaflet, is a disgrace - he was right in what he said last year
"We must not allow issues of the sub-continent to divide communities here”
Yep, those with sufficient imagination all remember you praising him to the rafters when he said that.
Oh it’s MY fault?! I see
Your posts are, yes. There's no other way to view them. You hit the keys - and out they pop.
I didn’t see Sir Keir say the sub continent thing last year, but it’s obviously correct. Let’s hope the leaflet is nothing to do with Labour and his hands stay clean

Victoria Derbyshire either doesn’t get it, or is actively refusing to accept that 19 July is happening.
I presume she kept quiet about the Matt Hancock business.....
I am not convinced about the 19th myself, especially after 22000 in the uk and 670 in Wales...
But this was all in the models. In fact, we're well under what the models predicted, I think. And the models still had us opening up. 22000 is a big number but no bigger than where we expected to be. 3 and 227 are more significant. Victoria Derbyshire is a menace to society.

Whitty at the Press Conference said "cases might well be higher than they are today" - unless admissions and deaths start to spike they'll hold the course.

22000 is artifiicial as it is catching up on yesterday (England). Average England cases ;last two days 15000.
We're at about a 50-60% weekly rise in cases but about a 10% rise in hospitalisations. And as always, I'd like to point out that we still aren't being told what proportion of hospitalisations are coming from unvaccinated by choice.

They’re finally looking primarily at the numbers in hospital, rather than the raw case numbers of the young and asymptotic?
From the Covid crisis to educational near-meltdown to the Alex Salmond saga and beyond, each icy peak has been a formidable challenge to her skills of leadership and endurance.
But the highest summit yet lies ahead and, I’m afraid, it looks increasingly likely that it will be the one to defeat her. Despite having promised her party and the wider Yes movement that there will be a second independence referendum in this parliament, she isn’t going to deliver. There won’t be a vote. There won’t be a famous victory. Scotland will continue as part of the United Kingdom.

A good point, and that particular data is, I hope, part of the conversation.
Sigh. Absolutely no question what should be top of Sajid's in-tray. Indeed, empty the bloody in-tray into the bin and put the rate of vaccination back in. Nothing that is in our power is more important economically, socially, healthwise. Nothing.
The first vaccination rate in the UK is about 0.4% of adult population per day, with the number as of yesterday at 84% of adults. Wales strongly suggests that it will top out at about 89% of adults.
That means in about 12-14 days*, the first vaccinations will be over - in terms of people actually trying to get vaccinated.
The supply pipeline for vaccines is months long and you can't just get an extra delivery.
So no, he can't change anything at this point.
*Yes - that assumes it doesn't tail off.
Its' good but not good enough. It leaves several million people unvaccinated and even more with only partial protection. We need to find ways to incentivise those we have missed, go looking for them and persuade. There is a lot to do here and it is very important to our protection from not only delta but the next variant off the block (which must surely be overdue).
You do know that there are hundreds of variants don't you? Only a few have characteristics that make a material difference to its ability to make people ill. And it cannot change too much it loses the ability to say bind to the ACE-2 receptors. We need to be careful of variants, but there is little prospect of a sudden emergence of a variant which completely evades the current vaccines.
Yes I do know. The variants of concern as they call them, which have basically been the SA one, Kent and now Delta, have each increased the infectivity of the virus and its propensity to spread. The evolutionary advantage of this is obvious and there is a recognised tendency for viruses to develop in this way, also becoming more benign because this keeps their host alive for longer allowing more opportunities for transmission. Going by the past pattern it seems inevitable that an even more infectious variant than delta will be along very shortly.
The evidence to date is that none of these variants defeat the vaccine but in countries like ours where the majority of potential hosts are vaccinated the ability to do so would be a huge evolutionary advantage and any such variant would become dominant very quickly. We need to stay alert to this but the priority is to protect as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
@ DavidL. Glad to see you back and hope you are doing well after your recent scare.
Taking it easy at home thanks. Going to be somewhat under powered for a while yet but the projection is positive.
Really pleased to hear this. Take care of yourself.
Eldest has today had his first vaccine. So that's all 3 children with a first vaccine dose. A big relief.
An even bigger one was seeing him use a helmet when he went off on his bike. He's been silly about not using it before but the accident last week and his badly bruised head has changed his mind - in a way that all my nagging and begging didn't.
Contrarian aside, most will be easily persuaded that the risk of serious health impacts to letting rip in secondary schools is worse than vaccination in them.
Does anyone have any data on the risk of hospitalisation for the under 12s please? And the under 5s?
Had my second AZ jab a few hours ago (managed to bring it forward a couple of weeks). So far so good!
Could be worth a fortune to the bio weapons division, Sunil, if we can get it past ICC security.
You're mixing up quotes again, Ishmael!
Burke: Look, those two specimens are worth millions to the bio-weapons division. Now, if you're smart, we can both come out of it as heroes, and we will be set up for life.
Ripley: [beat] You're crazy, Burke, you know that? You really think you can get a dangerous organism like that past ICC quarantine?

Re the Gmail accounts for Ministers, if anyone at work sent any work material (not just very confidential stuff) to a private email address, it was automatically a disciplinary offence - sometimes leading to dismissal.
I am surprised that it isn't the same in government - not the disciplinaries - but the absolute ban on non-government email accounts. It is utterly insecure and very very poor practice.

Ministers using gmail and government departments using Chinese CCTV cameras.....you might as well just publish everything on the internet for every foreign power to see what you are up to. Save them from 10 mins of work.

I scored an OG like that about 5 years go, passed it back from 40 yards and the keeper let it under his foot
So the outcome could well depend on the Woollens not going to them rather than to the Tories and Galloway taking a large share of the Muslim vote if the Tories are to win the by election
Hearty congratulations to him.
Only joking. Every happiness!
We had a nice time though, went to lots of lovely villages and small towns, Castle Combe, Tetbury, Chipping Camden, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Norton and Sudeley Castle and Snowshill, Cheltenham and Worcester. We also had Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse staying in the same hotel as us near Tewkesbury for a few days, no doubt filming something
Only surprised that you chose to spend your honeymoon in our rapidly-turning-orange Cotswolds!
Vice-captain Kusal Mendis, opener Danushka Gunathilaka and wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella have all been suspended by Sri Lanka Cricket.

But the highest summit yet lies ahead and, I’m afraid, it looks increasingly likely that it will be the one to defeat her. Despite having promised her party and the wider Yes movement that there will be a second independence referendum in this parliament, she isn’t going to deliver. There won’t be a vote. There won’t be a famous victory. Scotland will continue as part of the United Kingdom.

I can feel your conceit

Eldest has today had his first vaccine. So that's all 3 children with a first vaccine dose. A big relief.
An even bigger one was seeing him use a helmet when he went off on his bike. He's been silly about not using it before but the accident last week and his badly bruised head has changed his mind - in a way that all my nagging and begging didn't.
Children!
Does anyone have any data on the risk of hospitalisation for the under 12s please? And the under 5s?
Burke: Look, those two specimens are worth millions to the bio-weapons division. Now, if you're smart, we can both come out of it as heroes, and we will be set up for life.
Ripley: [beat] You're crazy, Burke, you know that? You really think you can get a dangerous organism like that past ICC quarantine?

Also, on choosing to honeymoon in the Midlands, like the true patriot you are.
I am surprised that it isn't the same in government - not the disciplinaries - but the absolute ban on non-government email accounts. It is utterly insecure and very very poor practice.
