The last QS was already pushing the limits - another two-year session after the one back in 2011 or thereabouts. In itself questionable. Now nearing the end of a second two-year session and they want to delay it further? What is to stop her delaying until the fixed-term parliament act forces a...

Is it constitutional to delay the queen's speech? Assuming there is at least a question over its constitutionality, how can a decision to delay be challenged? And who can do so?

Good to know they have their minds on the important issues of the day: Labour to decide on Brexit public vote on Tuesday, says Corbyn

The Quick Brown Fox party?

And Will Hutton says: Over the next 48 hours, a battle will take place that will settle the future of the Labour party – and arguably the country. Is Labour to be the party of Europe in uncompromising opposition to the rise of an ugly, hard-right, English nationalism? Or will it continue to...

So there does seem to be something many of us can agree with: More than half the public – 55% – now think it would have been better never to have held the EU referendum given the difficulties of reaching an agreement on Brexit, according to the latest Opinium/Observer poll...

Just what can the journo do about that if, say, he simply received an anonymous email with the information? He can't unsee it - can he?

Boris Johnson would appear to do almost anything for personal gain. Yet more register of interests entries revealing that... (Amazing! He actually did the declaration in time.)

The reason for not buying Huawei kit should be that we make our own excellent stuff and sell it to everyone else. System X anyone?

We have just one underpass - and it is officially for use by cyclists as well as pedestrians, despite being quite narrow. But about the only place I ride where not allowed is at a roundabout on the way home from work. Usually, you can't pass the queue of traffic to enter the roundabout (lane...

And what if the grains are just where someone was a little bit careless when scoffing their lunch rice ... ;)

What motivation is there for those at the bottom of the structure with no prospect of any inheritance whatsoever? Some, to be sure, will see ways in which they might find some degree of financial improvement and well-being. Many will not. Even if they work extremely hard.
