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 :)

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
