I think you've answered your own point. If any batsman gets to the point where they decide such a thing they are definitely getting themselves out.

quite spoilt my day - up early to go out touring N Yorkshire. Watched opening overs of England's 2nd innings - left feeling the target would be met easily, despite Cook & Strauss not being entirely comfortable. Then stopped in Whitby, checked the score and B*****.

      Niko 07818 607583 as a good local plumber

      I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
