True, though in Ayr there's also the party pressure thing of "he can keep the seat for us" with local Tories. He managed to hold the seat in 2011 and 2016 against SNP local surge due to being quite popular. We've seen in recent years how the parties can convince folk to run when they shouldn't in case they can keep a seat, see Dennis Skinner in Bolsover last year.

Born. Congratulations to them on the birth of their baby girl, Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran (not a pisstake). I believe she was indeed ‘welcomed’.

The ultimate busman's holiday. Remember kids, never take your work home with you.

Confirmation.

I think the concept of either Trump or Biden winning would be tragic. That is unless the Libertarian or Green party have a massive surge in votes.

Tommy Morrison, professional boxer and actor (mostly known for his work as Tommy Gunn from Rocky V) died 7 years ago from AIDS - aged 44

Belafonte none too pleased after an old interview with him was manipulated by a Trump staffer so it appeared like it was instead a sleeping Joe Biden being interviewed. The video is now disabled, and the Biden footage was superimposed over Belafonte, lest you thought they badly edited Belafonte himself to look like Biden.

Sad news.He was a great man. I was expecting Hattersley or Prescott to go next... PS here is a full list of members of Kinnocks shadow cabinet .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Cabinet_of_Neil_Kinnock Who will go next? You decide!

If someone were to die in the next few hours could we say technically they died in August because it's stil August in parts of the world, even if it's sep 1 where they live?

Albert Bateman died in April this year. https://t.co/bVlbOgTgob

Actor David Farrar died on this day 25 years ago, aged 87.

I'll close the game now, but if there's an upsurge in the coming months, I'll restart it. This is months winner is Grim up North.

1) A second wave of Coronavirus, coupled with us crashing out of the EU, sees the UK economy and job market suffer in such a way that makes the Great Depression look like losing loose change down the back of the sofa. 2) Donald Trump refuses to accept his election defeat and barricades himself in the White House as a constitutional crisis, borderline civil war, ensues. 3) The second wave of Coronavirus kills only 3 times as many people as the first, depriving millions of people of the sweet release of death. 4) Jeff Bezos becomes the world’s first trillionaire and buys the collapsed United Kingdom, turns most of it into an Amazon warehouse. 5) Keane release a new album.

Nice picture! The black underwear and black hand coverings is rather sexy!
