    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Guardian now quotes Rifkind (my emphasis) - not someone I expected to quote: The former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind also urged Johnson to explain what happened or arouse suspicions that he was hiding something. He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “If you are a candidate to be prime minister...

    From DM front page as of a minute or two ago: Senior Tories fear Boris could be ousted on his first day in Downing Street if Jeremy Corbyn calls for no-confidence vote due to tiny Parliamentary majority If the former London Mayor wins the leadership...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have never come across that - though certainly seen it mentioned a few times. As a "rescue" cat, ours arrived here as an adult and had to be kept in for a while (too scared - stayed two weeks under a sofa). But now she hardly ever uses her litter tray - it is only there for "emergencies" and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We didn't have a cat then - too near a significant road. And now we have one, or it has us, our neighbours are towards the "what neighbours" end of the scale with us hardly noticing them most of the time. In the good sense. But you are actually right, cats do not like humans behaving like that...

    Boris and Carrie should share a mirror. Then they'll know what neighbours from hell look like. I have lived next-door to a woman and, over the years, more than one male, who had extreme arguments. Yes, requiring calls to police, yes, waking us up, yes, would have recorded what I could easily...

    Interesting. I have read many stories of people discussing disease with doctors. When patients ask for an explanation, the doctors can usually come out with some off-pat words. But further questioning can really undermine their certainty. Many absolutely do not understand the processes that...

    What is so appalling is that he appears only to have realised in the last few minutes. Is there anyone else on the planet who wouldn't have asked and found out the projected casualties before authorising the missions? Not much credit.

    It is, of course, wholly wrong to point a finger at someone suggesting that they will in future do something criminal by intent. Everyone has the chance to step back and re-consider. But if the EU parliament rules on expenses were subject to the same recall rules... ? And do we believe that...

    It has been reported that they intend to move into Downing Street together if he is elected leader. I sincerely hope not. The chancellor won't get his/her beauty sleep.

    Wiki says: Field is married to Victoria (Vicki) Field. They live in Westminster and Mallorca with their son, Frederick and their daughter, Arabella. Funny how Field thinks it perfectly fine to exploit free movement. But not the rest of us. Field's first marriage to Michèle ended in divorce in...

    It rather shows that we cannot rely on the tories to defend us. If they can't even keep a few unarmed, non-violent protestors out of their dining room what chance keeping our real enemies away? It shows utter incompetence at organisation.

    If Field were so totally innocent, he would not have apologised. In a statement, he apologised to the woman and said he would refer himself to the Cabinet Office over the incident. Two wrongs do not make a right? Do you want someone without sufficient self-control to be a minister?
