Fair enough - If you can see the FT "Chancellor Sajid Javid has wrapped the increased investment commitment into a new set of fiscal rules, which makes a clear distinction between investment and consumption spending. He has battled Treasury critics who do not share his understanding of the growth enhancing effects of public investment. " and then further down a mention of EU trade "the Johnson government may surprise everyone with its approach to trade. I believe Downing Street will seek an early trade deal with the EU based on ?high alignment? in all goods sectors and most services" https://www.ft.com/content/998e096a-1cf7-11ea-81f0-0c253907d3e0

You know some dodgy people then. What about all those eastern europeans working in bars and cafes across central london. Don't you talk to them when you buy a coffee or a drink.

"The new MPs already have an extensive shopping list of demands they promised to voters during the campaign, including rail links to remote ports, new nuclear reactors and train stations." ?As a newly elected member for the north-west of England I am going to be fighting very, very hard to get funding here. We need rail infrastructure, we need road infrastructure,? Andy Carter, the new MP for Warrington South, told the BBC?s Sunday Politics North West show. I can't see it happening - I might be wrong and we might about to be going on a spending spree - but taxes then must go up.

Deposits are supposed to be lodged with a third party scheme Raise a dispute https://www.tenancydepositscheme.com/deposit-disputes.html I had an overprotective landlady once - she gave me back my full deposit though even though I broke her favorite statue - felt so guilty.

OKay a blast from the past, David Mellor was on Sky News this morning saying how Boris should get rid of Rees-Mogg as he keeps putting his foot in it. I suppressed a little giggle remembering Mellor and feet.

McDonnell excused himself and left real fast, Corbyn staying for "reflection" and the contenders line up as favorite is Becky Long-Bailey (not Rebecca anymore it seems) Angela Raynor Lisa Nandy Keir Starmer

At the moment I can't even bear to watch Sky News and stopped watching BBC News a while ago. Netflix and Amazon over XMas :)

Yes - but at the moment there's not much to be done so saving the batteries as it were - I am probably one of the luckier ones in the short term - long term I'll be a pensioner. I really hope he goes the real one nation route as with this majority the ERG are sidelined.

The self-same > undemocratic mob that pitched up outside No. 10 > yesterday. They're allowed to protest peacefully - myself I'd end up in the nearest pub which probably shows I'm not one of those at worst risk from 5 years of Boris (there are some who claim to see themselves in extreme danger)

A lot of people claiming to have put through applications to join the Labour party. No doubt in time for the election of a new leader.

went really when my parents died - i never kept up any traditions- My sisters may do.

A fellow Swansea supporter "Traditional Labour voters don't want Eddie Izzard or Stormzy" I think that's where we're headed and it's not inclusive. Labour held on in Swansea East, West and Gower - not sure what was being said there as I'm out of touch.

Oh well lets start by cancelling my Sky contract and go from there. I now feel free and owe nobody anything :)

Anyone who hasn't voted should think about doing so now.

and Dulwich Village - Dogs can't vote

And just saw this one in Tower Hamlets

I tried to build a Garden Bridge I ran away and hid in a Fridge Who am I

Turnout in London especially South London very high https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/voters-report-huge-queues-dozens-21079845 "Atmosphere is very London: orderly queueing and no-one is talking to each other!" this is why I'll never be a true Londoner even after 15 years here I guess - for me a queue is a chance for a gossip :)

Just reminding Uncle that Time Magazine person of the year is Greta Thunberg. Just saying to cheer him up. Full fact on the Leeds Infirmary saga https://fullfact.org/online/LGI-photo-boy-facebook/
