If some bloke had called for a re-run a few months after the 2019 general election, with its Tory majority of only 80, and had produced a petition signed by lots of foreigners, would the BBC, Sky News and the print media have given it wall-to-wall coverage?

Can Rishi Sunak break free of the malaise gripping his premiership? - It's just SkyNews asking the wrong question again.
What's more import is "Can Britain break free of the malaise that is the Tory Party?"

St. Patrick's Day is a good time to reflect on how famines caused by occupying powers are horrific, inhumane, and avoidable.

Sam Coates: The mood is tense among Tory MPs who think most things 'weak' Number 10 touches get worse.
I'm glad Tory MPs have finally caught up with the rest of the UK.

A 10-minute rule bill in Sep 2020 saw MPs vote on whether MPs should be recalled if they change parties.
It seems that Lee Anderson voted in favour, along with 46 Tory colleagues. 🤔

Good morning sky people.
My last picture from yesterday. A special place now, but magical when the hollow fills with water and becomes the fairy pool

when wikipedia launched, the idea that an encyclopedia could be reliably maintained by the public was a joke. now, it's a marvel, a remarkable resource, virtually the only website that remotely delivers on its potential and practically the last pleasant browsing experience on the internet.
