We've probably run out of things to say.


May's attempt to satisfy both camps, with a mixed cabinet and some alignment, to be stabbed in the back by ERG and BoJo.


BoJo dropping DUP without a second thought


Tories move to the right and exodus of the moderates


BoJo managing to make the country even more divided


A worse deal and a worse PM than under May yet much of the country swallows it


On the good side it's focused my view on what't to blame - an internecine conflict on the fields of Eton


Nothing new there but thanks for letting me get this off my chest Cat

agreed.....there's nothing to say......

I?m mostly glad we didn?t actually win the Rugby World Cup


Not for the sporting prowess, it?s been a brilliant tournament. But only for the fact that Bojo and Farage might have taken it and denigrated it as some kind of ?Engeeeerland? look how mighty we can be guff.


But of course it was Corbyn?s fault too, why not.

John, I may be speaking too soon, but it looks like you should be fine. After 1st round of voting:


Harman - 72

Sir Lindsay Hoyle - 211

Dame Eleanor Laing - 113

Chris Bryant - 98

Rosie Winterton - 46

LOL - yes he won after 4 rounds with Chris Bryant in the run off and the reaction seems to be a range from 'Great' thorough 'He's a nice guy' to 'Tory stooge' (He's Labour by the way). I don't think he will be as theatrical (or as fun to watch) as Bercow.


Lots of comments I've heard on Harman I won't repeat here - she's definitely not popular with some people.

I got a load of abuse on twitter when I supported her candidature (based on the old NCCL/Liberty stuff).

This is not the drunk at a wedding reception that no one knows who he is but politely nods along to his incoherent ramblings, this is our Prime Minister. A Prime Minister who doesn't understand the deal he struck with the EU, states that NI will have a great deal because it will remain in a customs union with freedom of movement. Errrr, so if it's such a great deal why are you taking that all away from the rest of us?...https://twitter.com/ManufacturingNI/status/1192564837345353728
What you have to understand about Boris Johnson is that he doesn't really care about the detail of the deal. It's not that he is incapable, it's that he is indifferent. He's just interested in getting elected. None of it will effect his life in any discernible way.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying.
