Damian Green will keep his job as First Minister, I am told by three well-placed sources. There should be confirmation on Wednesday https://t.co/WqEN3lAE3z

Let's see, something on the royals, united ireland, right/wrong to Brexit, etc etc
I was even positive on Mrs May.
If it is good enough for Ken Clarke, then it's good enough for me.
Seriously, is that all you've got?
What does he mean? Repainted as in 'reiterated' or repainted as in 'a different place'?
But there is still time.
But I'll share my email if I'm allowed to; it's brief and I'm sure not at all anything for Mike to worry about (I don't even use the four letter b word!). Should I mail it to @PBModerator ?
They are not even worthy of the consideration required to dismiss them
Who was the 'know-all' saying that Green was finished yesterday ?
When he was Chancellor he was all for sterling shadowing the DM and was a supporter of sterling joining the ERM. The combined effect being allowing inflation to get out of control followed by a recession.
The crude device was made from a pipe, a 9-volt battery, matches and Christmass tree lights, senior law enforcement officials told NBC News. The chemical explosive appears to have ignited but the pipe itself did not burst. Screws were found at the scene, indicating that they may have filled the pipe and were intended to be used as shrapnel.

Well at least I'm finally clear on Labour's policy on that score.
A similar petition last year attracted 4.1 million signatures. '
It's a credit to its creator and its prolific posters. I'm grateful for both the news service here, and, on the whole, the most civilised, balanced and thorough political discussion on the internet.
I'm a little concerned that I have to use waybackmachine (I think..) to find old comments. I love to look back and see how we all reacted to events, and get a pretty full range of opinion on pretty much everything that's happened since PB.
Do you have copies of all the old comments? If not, can you get them back?
I suspect he would not be delighted to be faced with that all over again. So let’s just not go there, eh?
Voting intention has the Tories back ahead for the first time since the June election
CON 42%(+2),
LAB 41%(nc),
LDEM 7%(nc)
Changes on last week. Poll taken Sun/Mon
37% now think she’d be the best PM (up 3), ahead of Corbyn on 28%(down 2) and don’t know 35%(-1).
That’s a 9 pt lead, and it was a 4pt lead last week
After watching an episode of the Crown, this poll is the icing on the cake. Floreat Britannia!
Who voters would most trust to negotiate Brexit, 32 per cent said Mrs May, 16 per cent said Mr Corbyn and 33 per cent said neither.
May must stay!
Jezza must go!
Cable must make people remember that he's there.
Well: 26% (+5)
Badly: 57% (-7)

On that score, watched most of The Handmaid's Tale on the plane back from China - good lord, I know the subject matter is meant to be bleak, but its so lacking in atmosphere and full of the same stupidly long silences and staring as with Mad Men (or at least the first season, which is all I saw) that it really takes away from how compelling it is supposed to be.
26% thought the government was doing well (+5%) and 57% (-7%) thought they were doing badly
Changes since last week
With any luck it will make the Brexit head-bangers realise how politically damaging their pursuit of hard Brexit was.
Expect it to go down as everyone starts undermining it again, on both sides, until the next phase.
EU - 50%
Give and take - 26%
UK - 4%
March 2019 - 1/3 of voters
2020 - 14%
After 2020 - 17%
Never 10%
On a lighter note, this does show an interesting lack of insight:

Should there be a second referendum
Yes - 33%
No - 42%
DK - 25%
Where have all the 'they need us more than we need them' Leavers gone?
On a serious point, it shows that the Conservative Party (and possibly even Theresa May!) is not irretrievably lost. As negotiations resume, but without the feverishly negative coverage of recent weeks, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 'handling Brexit well' figure tick up.
