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.

If Jeremy Corbyn's victory was an incredible political achievement, it was the easy bit.

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 :)

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By mitchiner · Posted

      I mean if its going on for a long time I would think just having a talk to them over coffee would help.seems like they are freehold owners if they've been living there for a long time so i would advise not reporting them to the police since you will be stuck with them for a long time to come
