Inevitably the Tory leadership contest is totally dwarfing coverage of other political developments including the battle for the leadership of the party that totally out-performed the Tories in last month’s Euro elections. Yet given the parliamentary situation the outcome of this postal members’ ballot could be crucial.

I’d probably go for Swinson because of my book she might do better in Scotland if Corbyn keeps up his ambiguity on Brexit.
There’s a group anti Brexit and anti Scottish Independence voters that’s looking for someone to support.

That's the touch on the tiller he's judged he needs, without the screeching handbrake turn of turning up at Sky tonight (at the risk of mixing my vehicular metaphors).
At the time I said it didn't matter how many people were on the march as they still represent a tiny minority of the population and would have included many ineligible to vote anyway. I stick to that but love seeing you squirm over your attempts to inflate numbers as some sort of support for your idiotic claims.

Given how bad the car is, after a torrid time last year too, not surprising.
Always good to see PR systems working flawlessly...

Did Johnson offer to resign if not done by 31st Oct?

Quite why the five signatories of the letter felt it necessary to agree with everyone else that Gatt 24 doesn't apply unless the EU agrees that it should apply and in the context that a free-trade agreement is being negotiated is a mystery. We knew all that, it doesn't make it magically happen.

Can't see any flaws whatsoever with that.
“I hate using this term now that Jeremy Hunt has started to use it but we’re going to bottle it aren’t we?” says Aejaz Shaikh. “Where would this rank on the list of England’s biggest WC bottlejobs? It must be at the top, because we’ve actually got a decent team this time.”
If they fail to reach the semis, it would easily be England’s worst World Cup campaign and arguably the worst for any country. I still think Australia 1992 was the most unlikely flop, but it faded into the background when they went on to win three in a row from 1999-2007.
Essentially because of some misunderstandings.
The worst is the idea that with “no deal”, Britain can unilaterally “invoke” Article 24 and continue to trade duty-free with the EU as a “standstill” while the two negotiate a free trade agreement. This is obviously nonsense because there has to be a deal.
Better is the recognition that the UK and EU have to reach an agreement first. If that happens, they can have, for example, a “standstill” deal (or any other kind of free trade agreement) while they negotiate something better.
In fact there is already a standstill deal: the Withdrawal Agreement would keep the UK in the EU’s customs union and single market during the transition"

It wasn’t bullying - I was reporting what I recalled from the original interview. You could hear her shouting and his voice was quieter.
There was no implication of blame. A couple had a row. The neighbours called the police, who investigated and there was nothing to be concerned about.
That’s it. I am critical of the neighbours who then went to the media. Interestingly the guardian hasn’t released the tape - I suspect because that is much more of an issue from a privacy perspective.
FWIW I don’t like Boris, I don’t trust him and don’t believe he is qualified or has the judgement to be PM. If I had a vote (which I don’t) I’d vote for Hunt. My mother does have a vote and I suspect she will be influenced by my views.
( @TheScreamingEagles I wasn’t aware of the Worboys link. I have nothing but sympathy for her).

Is that really their idea. That the EU will agree to having a deal with us without having a deal?
Of course if the EU agrees to change the Withdrawal Agreement or come up with some other deal before October 31st we'd be leaving with a deal. Everyone knows that, and everyone knows that the chances of that are tiny. Gatt 24 has zilch to do with a no-deal scenario
