Theirs are Range Rover seats. .

I believe we are going to have a GE anyway, whatever happens. Everything is increasingly pointing that way. Councils rushing to update electoral rolls, probably having been told to, typical pre-election big spending announcements on popular things, promises about being tough on crime with...

I think the downslide could happen too quickly in a volatile market to react before the pound sank below parity. We aren't that far off parity with the euro now, and we haven't even left yet. .

That's a somewhat inflated figure. First it's nine years of subsidies, second he's only a minority owner among four altogether. Straight arithmetic indicates a loss of only £5000 a year for him, so he's able to stick with his anti-subsidy principles. He appears to have money anyway, father...

I think that's entirely realistic. Separated from the EU and its open market, our pound is more likely than not to be below the euro in value. .

His share of the Boris bus £350 millions a week? .

That's simplistic, the vast majority in prison aren't there for wielding knives and/or killing anyone. Most have probably never directly hurt anyone physically. The average cell can only take two people with their two bunks, a toilet and a shelf or table space anyway. .

I'd like to know where the money is going to come from for all the promises he's made! In truth I think the announcement is a nonsense which will never happen. Electioneering. We've heard the same from a long line of Tory politicians from William Whitelaw and Michael Howard onwards, but all...

They were a very poor dual motor design which failed in the market in both 12 volt and 16.8 volt versions, so I wouldn't bother with it. Best scrap it and buy something up to date and infinitely better. .

More Boris Johnson stupidity. That change would be impossible without a huge prison population increase entailing building a large number of new prisons. The present prison estate is already overcrowded and unfit, many needing to be closed soon. .

Telling an electorate that what they've already got is best can never convince, no matter how presented. It's in the nature of electorates that they are never satisfied. The Remain campaign had an impossible job, only able to depend on complacency and fear of change. .

I'd have given an unqualified "Agree" to your post, but for the last short sentence. A moderate Remainer Labour leader would have made it even more certain that the Tories would field Johnson as PM to harvest the Leave vote in a GE. .

I doubt anyone knows, I certainly don't. The rumour is enough. It's the accusation that does the damage, especially when accompanied by quotes and recordings of his misogynistic statements and the well publicised overheard row with his current girl friend. It gives the impression that he is...

Not the past, I'm speaking of now. It was from Friday, yesterday, interviews during that day. As said, a big change in attitudes. .

That's dramatically changed since. All the leaks about his children by other women scattered around, plus the well publicised quotes of his past misogynistic statements have done a lot of damage. On the vox pop I watched I was astonished at the vehemence of so many women attacking him. One...

No indeed they won't alone, I didn't mean that. I meant if they only barely scrape into power, parliament could well be strong enough to renounce Brexit. .

The most encouraging I've seen on a news program is a report on how strongly most female voters dislike Boris Johnson. The female vote could well finish him in a general election, just as Theresa May's poor GE result ended any future for her. The Tories won't forgive another marginal result in...

That's what they get when 70% of them cycle daily. No hope for us with 2%. That just buys us painted lines on the roads. .

The EU isn't taking it personally. They just can't accede to our wish for a deal that's better than membership. That's simply because if they granted it to the UK there'd be a queue of 27 behind of course, wanting the same. .

Of course Fingers, that was the blindingly obvious point I was making, that our much smaller size with a rough trading balance potentially makes leaving without a deal very expensive for the UK. I was refuting the leaver contention that the EU need us more the we need them. They don't, and...
