And Wales: https://flood-warning.naturalresources.wales/

I see tomorrow's headlines are dominated by HMQ continuing to do light duties despite Covid. Is it all set up to point out how lazy Johnson was for taking time off when he had it?

HMQ is positive.

Someone elected TU leaders - even if their arcane rules meant that some were effectively in the job for life. And TU threats seem tame compared with continually offering large sums so as to be able to threaten not giving in future.

We know the unions. We know their leaders. And I doubt they could have contributed financially on anything like the same scale.

Sums up the tories: The ultra-rich Tory donors with access to Boris Johnson’s top team In return for a £250,000 donation to the Conservatives, multimillionaires are being ushered into the heart of government as part of a secret ‘advisory board’ Shortly before Christmas, a photograph taken in...

Does anyone believe him? Johnson departed from recent US rhetoric by saying it was still unclear what Russian president Vladimir Putin was going to do. The prime minister said he hopes diplomacy will succeed, but the world needs to be “unflinchingly honest” about the Russian threat – and the...

At the moment, today's weather seems as bad as yesterday's. But according to forecast, it is only 41, when yesterday was around 68.

We've had a few trees, power and phone lines down. Nothing else yet reported.

Our electricity is pretty good. There is, though, a section of about a mile which is overground. Must be a fairly high voltage but not sure exact rating. And we are not that many miles from a fairly hefty power station.

Don't know about you, but it seems just a little late. Eunice has passed over here - just a windy day now and quite sunny. And is there someone in the Met Office with a sense of humour? EU-nice. :) Storm Eunice: Cobra meeting called as UK braces for ‘worst storm in decades’ Millions told to...

For us, has now dropped to a fairly ordinary windy day. However, will still be cautious as it could whip up quite seriously.

A basic UPS would have been fine for me. Now three very brief breaks. Am impressed how well MacOS handles restarts after loss of power.

Waste of a good tank.

Just had a brief power outage. And another.

Our peak hour is just starting - at 71 mph. Have been rather surprised that the big building site nearby is still working.

Ironically, Churchill, at least, did fight (but, obviously, not die). And I think there are wars which get going due to various forms of separatist or "oppressed" minority (as they see themselves, at least). The underlying tensions might well have been exploited by politicians, but they might...

Towards the Trump approach.

In many ways, I agree. But specifically the sovereign might be held to be a different matter. He could submit to anything by choice, but by force of law?, I doubt.

If the Prince Charles cash for honours scandal lives longer than HMQ, will he not be in a position where he could not be charged? Court cases use the Regina v. fiction. But Rex v. Rex would be silly.
