Ever since the local elections last week there has been talk of moving on from “Peak Corbyn”. Maybe? But what about “Peak Rees-Mogg?

Isn't a high crime rate quite a good indicator for Remainia?
Especially stabbings. Remainers are obviously far more likely to be stabbers.
Like JRM we’ve seen peak Boris.
Hunt looks and acts so Prime Ministerial. Hope you all got on at 100/1 and 66/1.
The same was true for corbyn, of course.
O/T if Bercow does step down as Speaker, will he take the Labour whip?
I have Boris at zero profit or loss, as he could make it but his odds are too short.
Best of luck to all those playing a backing game.
I think Corbyn has a genuine chance of becoming next PM as by hook or crook May may well hang on to the next election. Obviously if that is the case he should be no greater than about 6-4.
There is a great piece about him in this month's Prospect.
When the Speaker starts to abuse the procedures and structures of the House, whatever one might think of him, his time is up.

I don't think his ego could bear carrying on regardless in the manner of (for example) May....
As yue were Labour.
I'm not convinced that will be enough.
He used to sing anti Catholic songs too.

Would be one hell of a career change but if George Weah can manage it.
So two names have been put forward, Giulio Sapelli and Giuseppe Conte with Sapelli being ruled out by M5S.
Which leaves Conte to take the role just as he finishes the season at Chelsea.
QV Miss Flite's pet birds in Bleak House- named “Hope, Joy, Youth, Peace, Rest, Life, Dust, Ashes, Waste, Want, Ruin, Despair, Madness, Death, Cunning, Folly, Words, Wigs, Rags, Sheepskin, Plunder, Precedent, Jargon, Gammon, and Spinach.”
(Edit - I always wondered what 'Sheepskin' was doing in there...)
Gammon
(Noun/mass noun): A term used to describe a particular type of Brexit-voting, middle-aged white male, whose meat-faced complexion suggests they are perilously close to a stroke.
The term 'gammon' is linked to the unhealthy pink skin tone of such stout yeomen, probably because of high blood pressure caused by decades of 'PC gone mad', being defeated in arguments about the non-existent merits of Brexit and women getting the vote.
Gammon often make their appearance on BBC's Question Time jabbing their porcine fingers at the camera while demanding immediate nuclear strikes against Remain-voting areas, people who eat vegetables and/or cyclists.
When gammon appears en masse it is often referred to as a "wall of gammon".
"Slaughter", by the way, is typically excessive. If Israel had wanted to slaughter the protesters, there'd be thousands dead; there aren't.
It's easy to be an ideological purist when it's all theoretical.
The notion of "betting shops" across the USA is something to consider...
As to what this structure means with regard to Con gress’s authority to control state legislatures, New York was clear and emphatic. The opinion recalled that “no Member of the Court ha[d] ever suggested” that even “a particularly strong federal interest” “would enable Con gress to command a state government to enact state regu lation.” Id., at 178 (emphasis in original). “We have always understood that even where Congress has the authority under the Constitution to pass laws requiring or prohibiting certain acts, it lacks the power directly to compel the States to require or prohibit those acts.” Id., at 166. “Congress may not simply ‘commandee[r] the legisla tive processes of the States by directly compelling them to enact and enforce a federal regulatory program.’” Id., at 161 (quoting Hodel v. Virginia Surface Mining & Recla- mation Assn., Inc., 452 U. S. 264, 288 (1981)). “Where a federal interest is sufficiently strong to cause Congress to legislate, it must do so directly; it may not conscript state governments as its agents.” 505 U. S., at 178....
BTW I read that Ladbrokes opened a betting exchange but I couldn't find it on their website and occasionally it's definitely useful to lay a bet, e.g. Peak Mogg.
Explanatory sessions, outlining in detail the two customs options that the EU have rejected.
Just in case any MP was unsure what had been turned down.
And if he turned it down, it'd demonstrate that he's a chancer who doesn't really want/know how to make Brexit happen.
He'd attempt to have disabled welfare claimants scrubbing the decks of hulk ships in preparation for holding illegal migrants.
He's already about 47. At that age Harold Wilson was PM.
Pity the guys and gals in the fourth and fifth sessions!
