I think he would resign if fined - that goes without saying

Even funnier their is the beginnings of talk on GB News of Starmer being replaced, so much for a united team, you really couldn't make it up even if you wanted to!!!


What's really amusing is seeing newspapers/pundits/posters et al who were once saying there are far more important things to talk about than parties/fines etc, now happily talking about someone eating a curry...


Should add Tory ministers/MPs who once wouldn't comment on the parties/fines until Sue Grey and the Met had carried out their respective report/investigation, are now happy to comment on a case under investigation.

No different from the Graun with an opinion peice today bemoaning why trivial 'beergate' is being focussed on when its far more important that the Tories took an eletoral kicking....


All sides do exactly the same...all the time...whether its the left/right leaning press or left/right leaning politicians...no side is more ehtical or less hypocritical than the other for the most part (I'll except the PM from this generlisation of sides being equally as hyocritical, as he is a very specific, slippery indiviudal case who is a clear outLIER!)...it just depends on which ones you choose to focus on.


In my view if Starmer really wants to standout from the crowd and make an impact, he should come out today and resign straight-up, proving he is a man of principle and practices what he preaches etc etc. I think it would be a smart move if he's willing the play the long game....it would certianly garner a great deal of resepct from a lot of people who perhaps arent really fans of his....then try for the leadership again in a couple of years when Labour inevtively have their next leadership contest...and this time with an even stronger stranglehold on credibility/priciples....

Blair is still obsessed with digital ID


"As an example of the kind of radical policy he would like to see, Blair suggests tackling concerns about illegal immigration by introducing biometric ID as a precondition for accessing work and public services."

      I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).

      We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery

      By byngo · Posted

      Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks

      Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
