    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ITN News said that their source suggests 40 letters are in. The main concern is once the vote of no confidence is triggered, those who want Johnson out need to win this vote, about 180 MPs need to vote Johnson out in a secret ballot, otherwise, Johnson gets one more year without challenge. This...

    on PMQ last week, he waited until KS asked his last allotted question then said: "he spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile". Saville was investigated by Surrey police in 2008 and 2009. The victims refused to testify so the PPS decided to drop the...

    I did watch it but then I watch all the **** on BBC to justify my BBC license fee. If you value the quality of the panel, one minute in, you'll switch it off.

    Some of those who left are due to be replaced anyway. I don't think we can read much into this.

    that goes to show the better response against future variants from vaccines made with inactivated virion. Yesterday at BBCQT, one woman who declined vaccination made a suggestion for unvaccinated NHS staff: why can't they be tested for antibodies at regular intervals.

    The Woosh Faro is easiest to carry in and out of trains and up a few steps. As Cyclebuddy said, check the rules, you may not be allowed to take it into trains at the time you want to go as it does not fold like the Rambletta.

    My headache is very similar, left side, just left of the middle line, localised, the size of a golf ball, quite close to the scalp, blurred vision, unsteady balance.

    Banging my head remains the prime suspect but I can't remember. At least that's what the consultant thought. Both my wife and I usually self isolate but we did meet up with family at Christmas. They later tested positive. We thought we might have also caught Covid because we had some of the...

    I believe it's the lack of a written constitution to guarantee the rights of its citizens and the first past the post voting system that did that for us. We live under the dictatorship of whichever party that dominates the HoC.

    I got a persistent throbbing and localised headache for 3 weeks. I hardly ever have a headache, even when having a bad cold. On the third day, the threat of a lumbar puncture cured it so they let me out. That or hospital food, I can't say for sure. One thing for sure, I over indulged during the...

    that's due to XMAS holiday, a lot of stats were not published on time and lumped later with more recent stats. I was hospitalised a few days only two weeks ago, I can assure you that the queues for treatment were long. They swab you on the first day of admission for covid. Southend general has...

    you are lucky that your business does not suffer from manufacturing and shipping delay. Buying anything from China is another matter. 4 months leadtime for your foil boards does not seem exaggerated, add to that, shipping by sea now takes 1 month longer compared to pre-covid time.

    I guess in Starmer's case, the need to show decency and integrity stops him making big promises, the usual stuff easy to say but not deliver. It's a bit like bikes' weight really.

    There is only so much that the party gate can boost support for Labour. Last week's polls showed consolidation of Labour's recent gain. Their lead was reduced to 5% but after PMQ, grew again to 8%. I am pretty sure that the Gray's report will add one or two percents to their lead. The key point...

    No. Businesses, big and small, will always adapt. I lost sales to EU customers but gained in competitors like Aliexpress, PWSpower etc having to charge VAT and import duty that they previously were able to evade. My immediate problem is my age. I need to find someone to takeover my job. It's a...

    I like Peter Kyle. Starmer is the antidote of Johnson. Decency, respect for political correctness and democracy (as in respect for the same rules for him and ordinary people).

    I already knew you would not want to vote for the current Labour party, nevermind who leads it. My question was what kind of real socialism you would vote for. In an ideal world that is.
