They are so important God has to go to their house, not vice versa

There's probably 3,500 potholes in St Giles

I think you may be confused. He is the Tory Councillor for walking and grinning inanely at the camera. Repairs aren't as important as grinning

Howe has improved most of this team, dramatically in some cases

We were in LA just as they finished filming in the hotel we were staying in, so my wife got to chat with two or three of the stars, over a drink by the pool!

When the idiot-in-chief says "like never seen before" he means worse than Hiroshima, or Stalingrad?

To be fair to Hegseth, he has the excuse that he was either an infant or drunk during the last few Middle East wars. Also, he's an inadequate idiot

I grew into active politics when "Loony Lefties" was a standard perjorative. Slightly weird that in my declining years most of the Loonies are on the Right (Trump, his entire Cabinet, Farage, Lowe, Badenoch....)

Like being "charismatic", being (or describing yourself as) "authentic" may or may not be accurate but neither are great bases for governing a country

It is a piece that deserves the word "excoriating", but is extremely well written and based on what appears very high quality research

I watched Call My Bluff and Face The Music last night. Brian Redhead was on, being warm, knowledgeable, self-deprecating. A reminder of 1) when quiz shows weren't filled with "celebrities" squealing & 2) how Today presenters have declined.
Age or just good taste?

Trump and Hegseth are both as dumb as gravel, so any chance of them both holding a sensible idea is somewhat below zero

You forgot the "It will work THIS time" conclusive argument

She was baptised there, before the priest changed

It was similar for my wife. The church she had fund raised to build; always attended, with her family; brother was choir/organist; she was confirmed there; we were married there (as was her sister)...refused to baptise my second daughter because "you live down south".

Was working in Chicago on 9/11. 4 days later had to fly to Baltimore (American colleagues refused to fly). Running late, flopped onto the plane, asked for a glass of wine with my peanuts. "No alcohol allowed because of the Moslem terrorists". I suggested this was a particularly irrational reaction.

It's far fewer readers nowadays, but still unthinking voters

Is it "find a convincing argument why Badenoch and Farage are still opposed to net zero, and in favour of exposing the UK to energy shocks?"
