He was born in 1964, so he's been lying since he learnt to speak 56 years ago. With all that practice he should be able to survive another 12 to 18 months. .

Pot calling the kettle black ! I still say Johnson hanging on for at least a year is best for the Tories. If he goes now he'll just be making way for another failure to impress the electorate over the next two years. Best for them that he takes all the blame. .

He needed 180 to survive, he got 211 so is clear of any immediate danger. He can opt to stay and probably will. .

Mid term it's meaningless, it's normally when all oppositions do far better. Even LibDems win by elections. .

From my personal point of view, I agree, but it would be a Tory mistake. There's two years before the next general election, that's two years for a successor to fail to improve things from our present impecunious position. Better for them that Johnson continues to take the blame for another...

They just add to the failure and can often be self cancelling when we are in the sort of mess we are in today. For example, we are broke and seriously in debt so can't spend our way out of problems, but the problems we have cannot be solved without spending huge amounts. So either of the above...

According to new plans announced by the Department for Transport, the Highway Code is to be updated to allow motorists to take their hands from the wheel and even watch video in slow moving traffic, provided that certain conditions are met. Under the plans when travelling at under 37mph in a...

It's because discrimination is still so widespread, often overt and suffered. The reminder is a protest. If and when all in society fully accept all forms of gender identity, they'll no longer feel any need to declare theirs. .

It doesn't matter who is our Prime Minister, our national failure goes far, far beyond the present incumbent. He is only a microcosm of who we have become. .

Saddest thing I thought were the cars like Triumph Renowns and Morris Minors, illustrating our national failure so well. .

Last time I had a corner shop was 68 years ago, 1954 in Bournemouth. I don't eat jellied eels and I leave gherkins for big macs, so those who pay for slices of them can have the pleasure of fishing them out and leaving them on the pavements. .

Increased assisted bicycle power is an imaginary problem, proven by experience. When the S class high speed pedelecs were first created in Germany, they still only had the 250 watts legal limit which proved insufficient to attain the permitted 45 kph (28 mph). So in response to complaints...

Nothing at all here, except someone had attached a short line of coloured pennants along three trees. Nothing else, so they may have been supporting the England football team (who lost) against Hungary or celebrating our cricket team finally winning something or other. .

Dunno about anyone else, but I've opted out of the world while all this royalty crap is going on. Seeing all these gormless union jack clad mobs inanely enjoying having the mickey being taken out of them at their own expense makes me despair for this country's future. .

Kalkhoff stopped using the Panasonic motor nearly ten years ago, in favour of a motor made by German company Daum. A Google search for Kalkhoff will show you some UK dealers but I'm fairly certain that you wont get any Panasonic spares from them or Kalkhoff in Germany. Also Panasonic have...

And very unstable, best only at very low speeds and no good for accompanying a normal e-bike. As peter.c warns, many just cannot get on with an upright trike, so it's essential to try one first before spending. .

Motorised bicycles will always be far less reliable than dedicated purpose designd motor vehicles such as Mopeds. That is unavoidable for weight and bulk reasons. So if choosing to use a motorised bicycle one has two choices: 1) A bitza, whether manufacturer supplied as such or home put...

There's already a law to enable scrapping of red tape legislation, it's been around ever since the days of Margaret Thatcher's government of the 1980s, so Rees Mogg should know of it. To my knowledge it had just one achievement. Someone long after when appealing against the measure managed to...

I doubt it's in any way better, just faster to get to the destination. .

Guerney said of Woosh's post number 3. Remove precautionary principle restrictions (for instance) on early use of experimental treatments for seriously ill patients and GM crops. "What could possibly go wrong? (Apart from every living thing on the planet becoming grey goo)" Sounds good to...
