    That Portillo Moment

    Email from https://tactical.vote/ I've got my finger hovering over the button. We're printing thousands of tactical voting leaflets to be delivered in Jacob Rees-Mogg’s constituency, North East Somerset. The question is: how many should we get? Your donation will decide. I'll fund leaflets to get Rees-Mogg out This is our top tactical voting target constituency. We believe Rees-Mogg will be the 2024 version of the 1997 "Portillo moment", when he spectacularly lost his seat. But it could be close. We have identified postcodes in the constituency where we believe people will be most receptive to the tactical voting message. We have the leaflet ready to go and a team ready to deliver it. The rest is up to you. How many should we deliver? Donate £10 to deliver 100 leaflets Donate £20 to deliver 200 leaflets Donate £50 to deliver 500 leaflets Play your part in Rees-Mogg’s defeat. Send some leaflets to Somerset today!

    Very nice colour palette, with them all in varying shades of blue. Someone put some thought into that.

    "Late kick-offs have become controversial with supporters because while they allow broadcasters to show more live games, they make it more expensive for travelling fans, many of whom have to book overnight accommodation." How about moves to increase late-night public transport across the country? I have to miss all sorts of evening events because the trains don't run late enough to get me home.

    No, I think it's a "fuck you" to the media and agencies who threw hissy fits over the Mother's Day photo. Basically turning their backs on them.

    Catherine Windsor AKA Kate Middleton

    Cameron was Prime Minister at the time, so I suspect there was an obligation to invite him. I had to check up on Major, and I think Wikipedia may have the answer: "Following the death of Princess Diana in 1997, Major was appointed a special guardian to Princes William and Harry, with responsibility for legal and administrative matters. As a result of this, Major was the only current or former prime minister out of the five then still alive invited to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May 2018."

    Actually it is. I often refer people to this article in Metcheck. It's a good few years old. Worth checking out if you're planning anything outdoor in June. It doesn't always turn out like this, but it does surprisingly often. June Monsoon Flamin' June... Scorchin' June... for some strange reason we hold in our memories June being a hot, sunny and settled month? Of course, it's the start of the meteorological summer as well as having the solstice on the 21st. Perhaps that's why we always imagine it to be so amazing? Sadly we forget that it also contains Glastonbury (usually rains) and the start of Wimbledon (why do you think they bought a roof?). In fact, June is well known in UK meteorology to be a traditionally wet summer month due to the June Monsoon. The exact cause of this is still not widely understood, although this is the time of year where the European and other land plateaus in the Northern Hemisphere heat up and are at their greatest contrast with the colder oceans. The end result is usually three distinctive waves of cooler, wetter weather which push in from the West in between an ever expanding Azores high. 1st to the 4th of June, 10th to the 14th and 18th to the 27th are the periods which are usually dominated by low pressure across the British Isles. So there you have it. June rarely lives up to its commonly held vision and if you are thinking of booking a week off work to laze around in the garden then July is a far better bet. https://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/article.asp?ID=9672&Article=Behold...+the+June+Monsoon
