She's doing a joint stint with Portillo.


Still think the media following Corbyn down the road at 1:00 AM is over the top.

Needs an Alistair Campbell quick.

Oh dear God, really?


Not good.


For everything good he's doing (mental health shadow minister is agreat idea for example), he's making some dodgy appointments.

It's not compulsory, he didn't refuse anything. I've no problem with him making his choices on these sorts of things, very honest of him, but just not sure how it will go down with the electorate as a whole, although they may decide of course that the media shitsorm is just that.

I was being a bit cynical :)


Agree that we are the sort of country where you don't have to

wear patriotism on your sleeve.


the media is just going over the top now - hope people take it

with a pinch of salt.

I really admire him for that.


It must have taken a lot of guts to stick to his principles when he knew all eyes would be on him and the inevitable criticism follow.


I just saw it on the news earlier. I wondered whether I would have mouthed it with my fingers crossed behind my back under those circumstances.


Good for him. Not so much a breath of fresh air as a gust!

PMQs today - Corbyn changed the format by asking questions emailed to him

and trying to keep it civilised. Didn't come across as extreme at all.


Cameron seemed to answer questions asked (without being rude) but then did

get angry with the SNP. Strange but sweet question about a tiger and rhino.


So no disaster - but Cameron not really tested .... yet :)

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
