Yes - much less busy. And much hillier and windier. A lot of the time, I just let cruise control accelerate - which ends up much less aggressive than foot to floor, but acceptably brisk. Even within that, I often put it onto economy setting which has an impact on fuel consumption but not much...

Another U-turn required re WhatsApp: https://www.foxglove.org.uk/2021/10/21/its-official-government-by-whatsapp-is-going-to-court/ Adding: The tories might have scored a spectacular own-goal (am I allowed rubbish football references? Or are they TM Johnson?) - If allegations are levelled at...

I regularly see Teslas (specifically) accelerating very hard, often uphill, then slamming on their brakes. I am more than likely going at a steady 60 and, despite having rushed past, they are typically at most a couple of vehicles ahead by the next roundabout, junction, whatever. Much non-regen...

I see Johnson has been forced into a corner: I have written to the Commons Speaker to propose: 1) The Code of Conduct for MPs is updated 2) MPs who are prioritising outside interests over their constituents are investigated and appropriately punished 3) MPs are banned from acting as paid...

How can it manage that bad a fuel consumption? My 1400 petrol engined car - which is full size - manages 46 mpg even on E10 fuel.

I see Chope called out "Object". Peasant that he is, it might be good for the rest of us if the tories can't turn the searchlight off.

Depending quite how lead-footed you mean, there is plenty of opportunity for guilt! Tyre and brake wear cost more and imply much greater environmental impact than often considered. Despite regen.

Thinking a little, why has he had to refer himself to Lord Geidt? Because Johnson didn't, wouldn't. Getting a distinct feeling someone has been explaining the best, probably only, route out the mess might be issuing so-called apologies.

Get all the apologies and things that are supposed to resemble apologies out of the way at once. Just as Liverpool terror incident grabs a few headlines. BEIS Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng apologizes to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for his media comments about her, and says he...

I can't count fingers... :-)

May 12. Which makes it five months. I get the impression that there were issues (suspect refrigeration for Pfizer), which have been overcome, and we are now on full steam ahead.

Labour appear to be making quite a number of moves on the sleaze front. For example: Labour asks for lobbying by four Tory MPs to be investigated https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/nov/15/lobbying-tory-mps-iain-duncan-smith-labour-investigation

Given that as the number of vaccinated people rises, you would expect more vaccinated to be hospitalised, even if it is very effective, that appears quite significant. I hope the Pfizer is good - for me and for everyone else. Am glad not be getting a third AZ - in the early days, there were...

Rotterdam or anywhere...

She needs treatment - so she can come to terms with her inability to accept she was wrong, her perpetuation of the allegation for six years despite clear evidence to the contrary. Absolutely and totally unsuited to being a minister, especially home secretary. Priti Patel apologises to man...

Apology as footnote to COP26 in Edinburgh... Hoping no-one noticed it.

Was that before or after: Boris Johnson admits: I could have handled Owen Paterson affair better PM accepts blame for Tory sleaze row, suggesting he had made an ‘unforced error' in botched attempt to reform standards system in Parliament...

Utterly perthetic. A stirling effort by the idjit.

Has developed recently: Three people have been arrested by counter-terror police following a fatal car explosion outside a Liverpool hospital. The men are aged 29, 26, and 21 according to police and were detained in the Kensington area of Liverpool before being arrested under the Terrorism...

My father joined up before WW2, I think 1937. He could see what was happening and spent the rest of his life in the RAF. But I find it impossible to attend any remembrance events at all. He died in peacetime, when I was very young, and, somehow, despite him being a serving office, with quite...
