Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Labour doing very badly in its attack on the housing benefit changes. IDS pointing out all the errors spouted by Rachel Reeves.
Overall, Labour took quite a bashing over their failure to build social housing when in power. It was the lowest level since the 1920s.

A silly debate and pointless vote. Even the Libs support the measures and it is very popular with the public. Once again Labour are on the wrong side of history.
Labour lost the vote easily by 51.

no idea what all the above is about and the vote in question, but if the gov't majority was indeed 51, then clearly labour must have been on its own in opposing the motion
i wonder how sticky concluded that black was white?
i doubt we'll never know - perhaps a conspiracy

Tories chickened out Hays.......no doubt the Whips were very busy this morning.
Was at least 50 saying they would vote with opposition.
Spineless barstewards.
If I was an MP and any Whip came near me they would know to stay away in the future.

Haze,
Still in cloud cuckoo land!
Overall, Labour took quite a bashing over their failure to build social housing when in power. It was the lowest level since the 1920s.
Which silly B. sold the social housing off and stopped the money raise being put into building replacement stock?
Money was poured into building replacement schools and hospitals deliberately run down and neglected by the Nasty Party!

German chancellor Angela Merkel should use her visit to Britain to admit that the European Union was "built on German guilt" after World War Two, according to one of Britain's leading entrepreneurs.
Luke Johnson, who used to run Pizza Express, said it'd be "interesting" if Merkel "admitted on behalf of the Germans that the EU as a political construct was built on German guilt".
The former Channel 4 chairman's comments provoked gasps from the audience at a debate on Britain's place in the European Union, held at Bloomberg's London headquarters.

She is addressing Parliament at the moment. Later, she will have tea with the Queen. I am sure she will ask Philip not to mention the war.

Aldwick,
Think there has been a bit of editing.
Tower bridge with a bloke wearing trainers and walkie scorchie in the background.
Hyde Park with another high riser in background.
Probably because the original plates were faded in those areas.

The reality is that all the hard work towards power sharing in NI was done by Major.
