I suspect wishing to oppose this bill was one of the reasons she carried on. Especially given her apparent condition.

The one saving grace of deaths like these is that it introduces you to bands you'd been meaning to listen to for years, but had not yet got around to. The Olivia Tremor Control fall firmly within that category.

Appears as though Alastair Down has passed away. Glad he got to see the Press Room at Cheltenham named in his honour just last week.

New album came out on Friday. Notably, there's no tour announced. 2 North American gigs but nothing more yet. The album (I'm mid listen here, so maybe jumping the gun) suggests she's absolutely a runner for teams next year.

Reference was made to Peter Chapple-Hyam the other day "ongoing health challenges" or something to that effect.

The Exit Poll methodology is based upon changes in vote share from previous elections. Entirely possible they will have Richmond already in the sample, but they try and keep the individual polling stations the same from election to election. I don't think they will add more polling stations specifically because it's Sunak's constituency.

I know people who applied for this and it never arrived, despite applying before the deadline. Much like the postal ballots in Scotland and elsewhere it has been a complete debacle. You can apply for an emergency proxy vote, but it's a bit of a faff and some people would prefer the ritual of going themselves to the polling station for a myriad of reasons.

I'm hoping the bleak picture for the Conservatives nationally will mean they will drift out to better prices in Leicester East and the Scottish seats. Though I abhor any Conservative seats in the next election, where there is a bet there is a bet....

4(!) different Independents in my constituency. Will be disappointed if none of them are complete nutters.

I'm sceptical she has as much of a personal vote in her constituency as Corbyn might.

Stefano Cherchi succumbed to his injuries. Most known for his association with the Marco Botti and Amy Murphy stables in Britain and he appeared to have a promising future. In the race immediately prior to his fall he'd won on a 60-1 shot which shows how cruel this great sport can be.

Most of the remaining members of the 1974 Dutch World Cup squad pictured (yesterday I'm pretty sure). Johnny Rep the only living absentee.

Stan Bowles a hit for Prophet and myself

I meant to post this several weeks ago, but forgot. Pat Murphy has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer. He trains in Lambourn, doesn't have a battalion of runners but is a Welsh National winning trainer as the article notes (just as well, as he would have been a possible Pointless answer for even the most diehard racing anorak). Will obit in the Post anyhow. He turned 66 this week.
