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 :)

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
