It'll be interesting to see what The Sun does. Murdoch likes backing winners. Hence he ditched Major and supported Blair when the Tories were in trouble. If Lizzy doesn't get results I can see him backing Starmer.

And the steward just thought that you were pleased to see him.

It could be classed as child cruelty.

And lots of cheap Australian beef putting our farmers out of business even though Australian cattle are kept in conditions that would be illegal in the UK.

Don't forget all of that cheese that Liz Truss was so annoyed about.

Depends how you define stupidity. Statistically, leave voters tended to have lower educational qualifications than remain voters. For those with no qualifications, it was 65% leave and 35% remain. For those with degrees, it was 74% remain and 26% leave.

I can see Truss winning this. She's pitched herself as Thatcher reincarnated which will appeal to the electorate of mainly old, well-off, brexity southern white males. Also, Sunak is possibly a bit too brown-skinned for the less cosmopolitan-minded of the members.

A flat in London for the missus, give some to family, a few favourite charities, a place in France and a Dino Ferrari 246GT.

There was also a claim that, in the penultimate over of Hampshire's innings, Lancashire only had 3 fielders inside the circle.

You have doubts? What about all of the benefits that we were promised. We've got blue passports (although there was nothing stopping us having them before) and and and other things.......

Shapps has thrown in the towel and supports Sunak.

Died yesterday. Another victim of Alzheimer’s at the far too early age of 63.

Saw an amusing quote by a Tory MP regarding Rishi Sunak: "He's incorruptible because he's so rich and is one of the few in the Cabinet who can do joined-up writing".

Another Minister resigns. Stewart Andrew, who was apparently Housing Minister.

Well, nobody else would give her a job.

Written in 1998

.....and got sacked from 2 jobs for telling lies and made racist and homophobic remarks?

Sadly, he's left us. Only 58.

Stuart Broad has just broken the record for number of runs conceded in one over in Test cricket. He went for 35 bowling against India's tail-enders, banging the new ball in short, presumably trying to intimidate them. It didn't work. Heading should say 5th Test.

I've heard better than that in a pub on a Saturday night.

Used to do the pre-match phone-in on Radio Solent in the days when Grant Coleman was the Sports Editor. Also did the sport on South Today. https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/20235276.harry-gration-tributes-sudden-death-york-bbc-le

The Tory candidate in Tiverton locked herself in a room and refused to come out and face the press. This has already been posted. How do you delete posts?

Network Rail has been operating engineering trains for years. They are equipped with lasers and ultrasound to detect faults in the line or the sleepers and track beds. They also use very high speed cameras (70000 frames/sec) capable of capturing every millimetre of track.

The government are quite right to condemn the unions. Damaging the economy and making people's lives a misery is the job of the Tory Party. They're really good at it.
