Not dead, says his son.

Laura K also has Mark Harper. He has just said that bringing in another Government means the people will lose all the benefits of Tory policies they have now. Say what?

One could say we should carry on?

Difference being of course Major wouldn't have said it in a completely arrogant manner.

@Death Impends... I just found a fourth name, already dead, Beverly LaHaye. She was a solo hit for @arghton: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/beverly-lahaye-obituary-death-ff3qgc2d9

The loss of the West Midlands mayoral election should also see off those people who believe Boris Johnson is the answer to all the Tory woes. He campaigned for Andy Street and tried to distance the contest from the actual Government but voters did not buy it

You know, it's late, but only four names, I'll do it now. Three of the four were not DDP hits. Two were just not picked, the other currently lacks a DDP-friendly obit. First up is Jaime de Armiñán, a Spanish director Oscar-nommed for Mi querida señorita (My Dear Senorita) and El nido (The Nest). He also wrote Nuestro fantasma (Our Ghost), y ahora es el fantasma del HPDP. WEP chalks ups 28 points (20 base + 8 bonus). Well before Susan Collins perfected the usage of "concerned" to seem far more moderate than you actually are, Beverly LaHaye founded the evangelist anti-feminist group Concerned Women for America. She learned how to be a homemaker because she felt it would teach her to be more submissive, and Reagan said she changed the face of America, so yeah. As far as the HPDP is concerned, she's a unique pick for arghton worth 49 points (35 base + 14 bonus). Josip Manolic served only a year as Prime Minister of Croatia, but he did manage to be in the post when the country declared independence from a quickly-dissolving Yugoslavia. Seen as a conciliatory figure in his later years, he also saw scrutiny for oppression under his watch during the Tito years. Croatian social media accorded him a Zsa Zsa stature he worked hard to earn: His first wife died in a house fire, his second was 35 years his junior but still predeceased him, he survived COVID aged 101, and he received last rites at the end of 2023 yet was able to muster up another season's worth of breathing. He could only run on low fuel for so long, so was a natural cult pick here: wannamaker gains 40 points, Book and chilean way 35, and John Key 15. Political heavyweight Frank Field needs little introduction hereabouts, with his surprise endurance in the face of terminal cancer frustrating deadpoolers like his political quirks frustrated Labour mainstreamers. He made a very strong debut in 2022 at 26 pickers before collapsing to 9 in 2023. He enjoyed a decent rebound to 16 teams this time: drol fields 45 points. chilean way, Hell, John Key, and Pedro67 35. maryportfuncity and The Unknown Man 30. Captain Hemlock, Thatcher, and The Old Crem 25. ladyfiona 15. diego and Torva Messor punch in their second sub hit for 50 points. and An Fear Beag, BuffaloPhil and Charles de Gaulle their first for 25 points. New scoreboard ahead. The heavyweight Field hit means a new leader, as Torva Messor climbs to first on the back of clearing her subs bench: 1. Torva Messor 200.19 2. Perhaps 190.19 3. Banana 173 4.

I must admit I'm absolutely baffled at how caring about other people has become such a divisive issue in our society. It's very sad.

And that would be true of most rational people. Suella however is not a rational person

American-born rabbi Yechiel Perr (Wiki) reported dead

Violet Jessop died on this day 53 years ago, aged 83. - Jessop became a stewardess in 1908, first serving for the Royal Mail Line's Orinoco. - In 1911, Jessop would begin working on the White Star Line's Olympic, and was aboard the ship when it collided with the HMS Hawke in September of that year. - Jessop would be transferred by White Star in April of 1912 to their next (and most famous/infamous) ship- the Titanic. Jessop would get aboard lifeboat #16, launched an hour before the ship sunk below the surface of the Atlantic. She was given a baby by an officer, and fortunately reunited it with their mother once aboard the Carpathia: (an interview from her late in her life) - In World War I, Jessop would become a stewardess for British Red Cross ships. She was aboard the Britannic when it hit a sea mine in November 1916, and was in the lifeboat that ended up getting destroyed by the ship's rising propellers- she only survived by jumping out of the lifeboat (causing her to injure her head). All three of these experiences make Jessop the only passenger of all three of White Star Line's major ship incidents, with her being given the nickname "Ms. Unsinkable". - After serving on the Britannic, Jessop would continue to work as a stewardess for other ship companies, before retiring in 1950.

"Mystic Veg" goes for August (despite the fact most MPs will be on holiday). She's also strangely adamant Starmer won't be Labour leader by then despite a twenty point lead in the polls, is she expecting him to go the way of John Smith? https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/lifestyle/asparagus-fortune-teller-general-election-starmer-b2536495.html#:~:text=14%3A32 BST-,Asparagus fortune teller predicts when next general election will be,good for Sir Keir Starmer. The alternative scenario is that using asparagus to predict the future is in fact total nonsense.

Jayapataka Swami has been discharged (ofc), so +10 points for drol, Hell, Lafaucheuse and arghton. Lech Walesa has been hospitalised and discharged, so +20 points for Grimgrass. The troublemaker known as Alberto Fujimori has been hospitalised, so +10 points for Summer in Transylvania, Grimgrass, En Passant, WEP, CaptainChorizo, ThereWillBeDeaths7, EvilGrimace, Hell, Lafaucheuse. Khaleda Zia has been hospitalised in ICU (!!!), then ofc discharged, so it's +25 points for DeathByArsenic, Summer in Transylvania, WEP, TherWillBeDeaths7, EvilGrimace, Perhaps, Lafaucheuse and gcreptile. Last but not least, Jimmy Carter, Du Daozheng and Yang You have survived another month in hospital/hospice care, meaning +10 points for Grimgrass, ladyfiona, drol and arghton.

Yes he looks less frail than when he's singing in concert, but to get married Can also be done when you know that Death Can Come and you want your partner to keep the house After...

Hospitalised, but already discharged .

Many immortals already mentioned - here's a few more. Leslie Phillips (Sep. 2017) Bob Dole (August? 2021) The slightly more grim ones in spoilers. Solihin GP (days before his death) Tep Vong (two or three days before his death)

I found that one but couldn't find any date for it.
