UK prescriptions are currently recognised across the EU. Has anyone noticed when this will stop being the case? My current guess is 31/01/2020 but that is just an assumption. I further assume that no-one has thought to negotiate a permanent mutal prescription recognition agreement? I know a...

And if he doesn't make every effort to sort out all the messes he has left, he will simply fail to get the healing processes even started. The Ratcliffe family need their plight resolved. "Heal" is just a word until there is real movement.

Yes - to start to heal the country. He has proclaimed "let the healing begin".

Now there is no reason for the unbeloved PM not to sort out release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and get the Russian interference document published.

No wonder he didn't want a referendum.

If I had been sure that I would not have been letting in the tories, I would have voted PC. There was a continual nagging feeling that there was an outside possibility of Labour closing the 314 vote lead from 2017. Even with the predictions strongly suggesting otherwise.

They might think they are happy right now. Just wait.

There is nothing happy about a tory win tonight. Unfortunately.

Of course they don't cycle to school - someone stole all their wheels.

Certainly I agree they would not give up power. Not sure about a HoL person? Only if there is one who would be willing to renounce their title. There are probably enough egos within the HoC already without looking further afield.

No news but confirms what many of us think: UK no longer makes running on world stage, says ex-No 10 adviser John Casson blames absence of strategic thinking about UK role in world Britain has not made the running on any foreign policy issue since at least 2013 and suffers from a fundamental...

You might be right in a legalistic discussion - but I think it would be devastating for the tories.

People shouldn't be able to select where to vote - despite the possibility that students' votes could be critical and they can choose. Further, there would be immense schadenfreude if he lost his own seat by one vote. (Though I would prefer a landslide against him.) Boris Johnson has broken...

Hoc est, quod Graeci coepi, et semper non quid faciet nobis? (For those of us without the benefit of a classical education at Eton: It's the Greeks that started it, and what did they ever do for us?)

Did any of the polling organisations predict turnout? From reports so far, it looks to be absolutely incredibly high. Whilst I am not going to even suggest what it means in terms of results, it might somewhat undermine the basis of some of the predictions.

Just saw this linked to from a reader comment:

Just saw a headline - and whilst it could not happen within a the calendar year, who would bet against it happening within twelve months? Israel heads for unprecedented third election in a year as stalemate continues

Marina Hyde can be amusing: Time for a historical perspective, perhaps: despite having an underground bedroom as part of the war rooms complex, Boris Johnson’s hero Winston Churchill declined to sleep in it any more than four or five times in the entire second world war, including during the...

If he has done something against electoral law in seeing the ballot papers, obviously an offence. Even if he is pretending to know it would appear to be interfering with the process and attempting to influence the results of an election.
