    The thing that is keeping the Conservative Party together is the infrastructure All the local Conservative associations around the country are an important activist base and revenue stream Both sides (and here I am assuming a crude division between One Nation and Far Right Loons Free Marketeers) will want to hold on to the local associations. It will be a bloodbath because within each local association there will be a huge split and remember Liz Truss got the leadership with the rank and file membership voting her in. Sunak was the preferred choice of the Parliamentary party)

    Before Covid we were in an Italian restaurant and for my desert I have an italian take on Rhubarb Crumble. It was a ravioli filled with rhubarb and a crumble topping served with custard. The expression my wife gave me was like I was committing every possible crime against food

    I have never bought a football shirt It is a two inch embroided logo on the rear of the collar. If anyone had bought the shirt would they a) have noticed it or b) considered it to be anything other that a decoration. Someone has gone looking for this an brought it to the attention of everyone and Kier Starmer has fallen into their trap. Lee Anderson said last year that the only way the Conservative stood any chance at the next election was by stoking culture wars. This is just a pawn in the game and the real scandal is probably the price and the supply chain issues.

    It is interesting there are no new photos. The 'recent' photo was the one from the dementia fundraiser last year

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    This is the source Wikipedia is using which is a fandom site which puts us into a similar situation with Thomas P. Stafford where the news was broke by a space fan site I am inclined to believe this is true as he was reportedly suffering from Parkinson's There are three older Hugo winners left (Larry Niven, Joe Haldeman & C J Cherryh) and Connie Willis now makes it onto the top ten earliest winners surviving (Vernor Vinge was at No.10)

    There seems to be a lot of local Oklahoma based news journalists and networks carrying the story on Twitter but nothing national
