Might be the best movie of the year after Infinity War.
On Heathrow. Enough already. HR3 is not my favoured option, but we need something, and something ASAP. Just get the f***ing diggers in and start work.
Theresa May has not asked for it, though there she has ample reinforcements available to her if she does.
Also, Spiderman must be the most rebooted/origin storified of all the superheroes. But the trailer does look good.
I also note he's 14/1 Next PM with William Hill. Ditto.
He threatened to resign if Damian Green was fired for porn on his laptop.
the germans have decided to introduce a PMQ style session in the Bundestag, I hope Ask Angie is better than our charade

In the United Kingdom, it has been alleged that arresting a member of Parliament in the course of carrying out his duties may constitute contempt of Parliament,[16] although immunity from criminal arrest was removed by the Parliamentary Privilege Acts of the 18th century.
It is further contempt to bribe or attempt to bribe any member (and for any member to accept or solicit a bribe), to disrupt the sittings of the House or a committee—wherever it is sitting, to refuse to appear before a committee to testify, to refuse to answer any question put by a committee, to lie to a committee or to refuse to swear an oath when testifying, or to otherwise obstruct the business of the House.
MPs accused of Contempt of Parliament may be suspended or expelled.[17] They may also be committed to the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster,[17] although this practice has not been used since Charles Bradlaugh was detained in 1880. Strangers (those who are not members of the House) may be committed to prison during the life of the Parliament. The House of Lords has the power to fine as well as to order imprisonment for a term of years.
If she had given a hint of understanding the public services challenge, other than very obliquely via the dementia tax. I had spent three months up to GE17 regularly visiting a number of hospitals and the travails were pretty fresh in my mind. May started so well on the doorstep of no 10. We saw none of that.
If she had given a hint at how she was going to play Brexit beyond a policy that seemed to pander to the hard line of her party, with no hint as to the underlying game (Saboteur crushing or no). She needed help for Brexit? OK, but from whom and why I never knew.
My door is still ajar to voting Tory ata some point in the battle against Corbyn, despite their being an utter shower, but it is going to take something a teency bit different.

When will people learn to shoot videos like this horizontally.
You might as well not bother recording the video if you’re going to shoot it vertically.
Very sad, stayed there a few times, enjoyed my time there.
Corbyn @ 7-2 : Possibly but 7-2 is far far too short.
Mogg @ 9-2 : LOL - Deep red on Betfair for me.
Gove @11-2 : Possible, but too short
Johnson @ 12-1 : Looks long enough, but a value trap
Leadsom @ 14-1 : Hahaha
Hunt @ 16-1 : A fair price but not in one of the big 4 offices..
Williamson 20-1 : Who is backing him ?!?!?!
Davidson 25-1 : Wishful thinking.
Hammond 33-1 : OK (But 33-1 seems fair)
Cleverly 40-1 : Well liked by Tories but not experienced enough to go for the top job
Thornberry 40-1 : Any Labour person other than Corbyn should probably be automatically over 100-1 here as the Labour leadership is open post Corbyn.
Rudd 40-1 : Joined the no hoper list as soon as she lost the Home Sec job tbh.
Davis 40-1 : If Brexit goes well (No laughing at the back), May gets the glory. If Brexit goes badly, Davis carries the can..
Tugendhat 50-1 : Into the realm of AN Other Tory here, there's alot of them and if you give the big jobs a certain % of the market; Labour another smaller slice then 50-1 is actually looking quite a large slice of the rags pie you have left
Patel 50-1 : Again - Into the realm of AN Other Tory here, there's alot of them and if you give the big jobs a certain % of the market; Labour another smaller slice then 50-1 is actually looking quite a large slice of the rags pie you have left
Sadiq Khan 80-1 : Huge amount of unlikely scenarios here
Tom Watson 80-1 : 1000-1 more like.
McDonnell 80-1: He might do it, personally I'm asking for another 0 onto the price on Betfair.
Farage 250-1 : A lay at any price, red on Betfair for me.

(Would be even better if it avoided the American euphemism for 'toilet')
Quite the opposite of what is good for the country.
The problem as we both know is that wherever on that spectrum we finish up, the voters will be dissatisfied. Now it would be perfectly fair to point out that the voters gave a stupid answer to the question put. And then of course it would be fair to say that it was a stupid question to which a stupid answer was given.
But true as this may be, it really doesn't help Theresa May, or any of us who wish a fiasco to be avoided. So what to do?
Personally apart from leaving the country there isn't much one can do. As for the Government, I suppose it could grow a pair and tell the voters the true consequences of the decision to which they were bound.
No, I don't think that's likely either, so what then?
Buggered if I know, Richard, but I wouldn't rule out the scenario you and I have contemplated here before - Brexit followed by Corbyn and a spin down the road towards Venezuela.
Toodle pip.
It is not clear that the UK government is capable of agreeing with itself let alone the EU. And if it did manage to agree with itself there is no guarantee that it could take parliament with it.
And the EU is preparing for a no deal - France and Holland are hiring the additional customs officers that would be needed for example. The UK, on the other hand, is playing the part of the rabbit in the headlights.
Time to fasten our seatbelts....
Well I say house warming, the police called it arson.
A FTA may not be agreed by next March but that was never likely when Canada took 7 years to agree its EU FTA
She for not turning up or living up to her pitch and providing piss poor leadership, and Timothy for his arrogance, complacency and piss poor manifesto.
Both for their secretive do-as-you’re-told style of Government. We didn’t have to be where we are now.
I'm fairly relaxed the same is happening now.
