I stole Priscilla Pointer (sorry)

Caroline Lucas to stand down at the next election. Will the Green Party hold Brighton Pavillion without her?

Two names that are being discussed today Julie Goodyear and Pope Francis would both be hits in this game

I think I am going to start calling them Westlich

I have never heard either of those Against All Odds covers and I hope it remains that way. Just the thought of Westlife makes me cold with horror

No it is right he is here. There are other threads left here that probably have less chance of producing a corpse in a realistic time scale

Firstly they need to find a candidate who is not a certifiable nut-job (judging by the 2019 intake this is harder than it sounds), secondly they have to scour said candidates social media profiles for any times they have dressed as Hitler, been photographed in blackface or suggesting that working class children should be sent down mines. Then they have to draft leaflets and mind the smallest possible font that is actually legible to acknowledge that the candidate is actually a Conservative and not a sort of Green, Liberal or Monster Raving Loony that people would not be ashamed to vote for. All this takes time

Just looked up the actual votes and my local MP (Con) voted against the implementation of the standards committee recommendation So proud....

Let's hope its not a check out......

Less than a week after posting this list we are down to 14 How long will it be before Roy Hattersley is Lard to Rest?

John Morris brings me up to five for the year

John Morris is a hit for me here (BBC Obit)

Even my fairly homophobic father-in-law (he still uses the term puffter in a derogatory sense) recognises that the media frenzy around Schofield seems excessive considering the actual facts that are in the public domain at the moment and expressed sympathy for him.

I think his return might be by stealth. Maybe an invitation to appear as a guest presenter on something like The One Show - it will be a massive pay cut but he does come across as quite likeable unlike Willoughby who appears to think anyone presented to her (especially "the public") have just crawled out of a drain

I am pretty sure there will be a book deal in the next few months
