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."

    • Just got a flier through our door - has anyone used 'The Sash Paramedic - Robert Lloyd' - before? Wondered if anyone recommends him for repairing or new sash windows? Or knows anything about him? I've tried googling but found no history so far - not on FBook or Instagram either. Or if anyone can recommend sash window repairs or suppliers. Many thanks for any info.  
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • 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
