Anyone watching proceedings over the past couple of years in the House could have named those three Tories as the ones to go. Meantime, let's remind ourselves of Anna Soubry's interview on Election Night 2017, when she came within a bawhair of defeat:

That's going to be a swing and a miss for my TOTP Theme Team. Unless he makes it to 2020, when he will be on that team for The Caterpillar.

BBC Scotland's announcer just introduced today's Doctors by saying "I wonder if Keith Harris and Orville ever have this problem." Harris has had no problems since 2015....

We are doing walk-on music? Here's mine then:

Don Newcombe, Dodgers, 92, DDP Pick:

Opt out of the rise or opt out of the pension scheme? I had understood if you wanted to be part of the pension scheme, you had to pay the increase. Hence its element of compulsion.

Thank you.

Team sent to @msc, hoping to replicate the mighty Jags' Cup run.....

No, you are. If you can't appreciate the difference, then that is your problem. And as it states in your signature, there is no cure....

Lord Ashcroft's mother:

BBC News will be having Zandra Rhodes on for a chat. Apparently never mentioned on the forum, 78 you know.

Oh, Labour have ruled out a second Scottish Indy Ref. Yorkshireman Richard Leonard, Corbyn's placeman, has quite clearly said so. Corbyn has been a little more careful with his words, but it is also quite clear he'll do a "Thatcher in opposition" and deny Scots a say once in power - after all, who would want to be independent once you have a beneficent Labour Party in power? (This is heavy sarcasm, in case you don't get it). Labour's woes in Middle England don't bother me much. The disaster they were in Scotland has been their downfall here - the party of hospital closures, paid for prescriptions, introduction of tuition fees, retaining nuclear weapons on the Clyde, I could go on. That was of course when they were Red Tories - something to which Chuka and his cronies still adhere. Like the Tories getting back into power (albeit in coalition, then with small majority, then in minority), a generation forget just how bad these two parties are for ordinary people. Here's the latest. Amber Rudd has just dipped into workers' pockets for a compulsory rise in pension contributions. You think that's to ensure people have a decent pension when they retire? Not a bit of it. It's to prop up the insurance businesses of their cronies and nothing is in place to stop these companies going bankrupt before you get a sniff of your pension (assuming you don't die before you ever collect it).

Could have quoted me and posted the obit. But no, my post was up for at least 25 minutes (before I went off to do some gaming), then CL posts it as new news. Oh yes, perfectly need for that. CL is a recalcitrant non-searcher.

Lagerfeld dead: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-karl-lagerfeld-dead-85-14019724

This all assumes a by-election happens. If Tezza calls a general election to exploit Labour's perceived weakness, does that nullify the points?

We've only just Begum....
