I mean, it looks absolutely fine at the moment, but if you dribble it is going to be very obvious.

In the same space of time from Davey being in that government to now, Germany, having lost WWII was competing alongside the countries it invaded in the Eurovision Song Contest.
The point I am trying to make is this:
Let it go!

Now you see, there is a slight problem there. The funds were paid to the wrong place and the directors didn’t know what to do with the money and definitely didn’t want the aggro so they all resigned apart from one of them. This is nothing like the Brexit Party scam. This was pure incompetence.

There is a good argument to say that the 1970s was the best decade for Eurovision. Maybe that’s what they were thinking of.

But he told me specifically that I was his favourite.
It’s a shame they don’t open in the evenings, but if they don’t have to, good for them. I never saw the point of people wanting to be in places like GC and then working all the hours god sends.

You might be right but it isn’t really possibly to say that with surety whilst he is still in position, let alone waiting for time to pass to see what his legacy might be. If his legacy is Reform then he will be right up there will Liz Truss

Huey spends his day flirting with people. Of course, I am his favourite… but yes, they are lovely and friendly and the food is good.

God I couldn’t do it without drinking. Tequila passes for a recreational drug when I’m there. And they quite often run out :-)

Also, also, Cafe Rococo does an excellent job of fortifying the gay clientele, increasing the stamina required for a night on the tiles.

Also, where you are standing in that photo is the exact view from the balcony of Buenos Aires, where we stay (and which I very highly recommend, too).

It’s about time people started asking whether this is a scandal comparable to Jimmy Savile. Just the name of that despicable man puts people on edge.

As unlikely as that sounds, that’s exactly what happened to the man who was Prime Minister of this country only three years ago and who now nobody has any time for whatsoever.

And that’s me in my olden years… still lying in a gutter at the end of a night in Construction, when, at 64, I clearly should know better :-)

I think that their election strategy was cast in stone far too early, and they pledged to themselves not to veer away from it, to avoid opening up any areas of weakness (EU / tax and spend) . They could not have known just how completely the Tories would implode. But they should have thought again.

Ditto not rejoining the single market, and the two combined means they are fucked. Starmer should raise the taxes needed, start the process of rejoining the SM and a customs union and FofM and take himself and Reeves off for a long holiday on the back benches, having DONE THE RIGHT THING.

What’s worse? Not breaking a pledge because you pledged not to, but now desperately need to, or doing the thing you desperately need to, in spite of having promised not to?
The answer is, obviously, to do the right thing for the country and accept the consequences.

You could focus on things that matter, rather than endless speculation.

There was less animosity towards Germany, nine years on from WWII than there is towards the UK, nine years on from Brexit.
