    I believe she writes for the Mail on Sunday, which I'm also led to believe is a different political animal to the Daily Mail. Perhaps Labour can come up with their own 'coup' and Corbybabes agrees to appear in the next Stormzy video. I wouldn't give up on some form of centrist party/alliance eventually forming, perhaps that was part of May's thinking when calling the snap election. As we've seen in France it doesn't take long in the social media world for something to take off quickly...

    I think the Labour party should have a left-wing element to it, just not as it's leader. And if they're going to have a left-wing firebrand as leader, as least pick someone with some fire...

  7. I've always voted Labour, but they need a good kicking in order to get rid of Corbyn, and even then he might not go. So I'll be voting LibDem, happy in the knowledge that they are anti-Hard Brexit...

    I agree, it's another form of 'populism', just not the far right-wing/nationalistic type that was forecast. We're going to have to get used to these populist surges, a product of the social media age. Macron came from nowhere in the space of a year...

    In France the young are more likely to be anti-EU and the baby boomers more pro-EU, completely the opposite of the Brexit vote. A lot was said about the domino effect of Brexit, Trump and then Le Pen, but the French were always more likely to go against what the 'Anglo-Saxon world' had done...
  11. The width of the bathroom doesn't have to be constrained by the width of that wall. For example of you extended it by about 300mm you then create a natural 'alcove' along the blank outside wall of the current bathroom, which you could use for floating shelves/built-in cupboards etc for toys, clothes etc...

Could the bathroom not be relocated in the corner of the plan that has the window looking down the side return?...
  13. Ok, the problem with that (for me) is that you have to walk through the living room in a diagonal direction (around furniture) in order to get to the dining room/kitchen area. At least with the current layout there is a 'corridor' of clear space that you walk through. Some people don't even like doing that and will build a stud wall to separate the living room and create an entrance hall. A downstairs loo is always a plus though, so what might be possible is to put in a new staircase with some winders at the bottom, so where the current door to the staircase is, that becomes the first riser/tread of the new stair. This should mean that the current understairs cupboard gets deep enough to house a WC and still keep the existing door between living and dining. I think it's also worth looking at the possibility of adding an ensuite shower/wet room to the front bedroom by pinching a bit of space from both bedrooms, thus ending up with two ensuite bedrooms. It means losing the existing bedroom built-in cupboards, but they look a bit measly anyway. I would also check whether in the future a loft extension was possible, if so plan what you do now so that it will incorporate the loft, the main issue being where would the staircase up to the loft go? The main bathroom directly off the rear bedroom is a common problem with these 'two up, two down' houses, ultimately it comes down to the occupier and how they see themselves living there. There usually has to be a compromise of sorts. The current owner obviously didn't mind the compromise of walking through a bedroom to get to the bathroom. If you rotate the staircase you end up with a much smaller second bedroom, in the example shown they ended up with a single bedroom. It was a compromise they were prepared to accept. Estate agents plans aren't that accurate, the OP would be wise to go back with a tape measure, mark out the corridor (say 800mm clear) and dividing wall (100mm), and see what space would be left for the second bedroom. The OP needs to decide what is most important to them, but also remember that one day they will have to sell, so best not to come up with a too idiosyncratic solution...
  14. What do you mean by ''off the entrance hall'' rendel, the bottom of the staircase?...

    Spot on Quids, the Tories should be there for the taking. Many people won't vote Labour because they think economically the UK would be worse off under Corbyn than Brexit. That's some achievement...
