We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stats.

This this this! It’s the first thing I say when people ask how they can help the library. The second thing is show up, use our services. Come get your copies here instead of at Staples, we’re cheaper and the more you use us, the better are stats. The better our stats, the more our funding rises.

This thread is full of errors (a consequence of the fact that the Tory rulebook is not available online). No, the 100 is not fixed. No, no members of the 1922 “lost their seats” - there are no members of the 1922 when parliament is dissolved. There are fresh elections every term.

Remember the Stars of David graffitied in Paris? The coffins beside the Eiffel Tower? It seems probable that they were part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting France - largely because ot its support for Ukraine. AP investigation here:

I've heard it suggested that if they ever reboot Colombo, she should play it, and I find no fault with this.

If I'm ever pushed to name one good thing the Tories have down during their time in office, it'll be the fact that Larry was acquired as an adopted stray, rather than buying in a pedigree kitten.

Yeah, I've always wondered why the hardest 'left' within Labour are so enamoured with a system that gives us Tories 2 times out of 3.

I've been told, not sure how reliably, that Blair wanted electoral reform then, but traditionalists in the party were opposed and he decided to pick his battles at the time. I'd be interested to know how true (or not) that is.

It will be lost amongst the comings & goings of the election but North-West Leicestershire ditched their awful anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist MP Andrew Bridgen. Good for them! They deserved better and they chose better 👍

I feel sure I know this street, but I can't put my finger on it. Pretty certain it's Cotswolds, but beyond that I'm lost.

A strong second here in Oxford East without even campaigning significantly. I hope this is the start of them being taken more seriously by both voters and media.

If this is with a phone, have you checked if it did a burst shot, maybe offering the choice of a better frame? Apologies if you've tried this already.

Still astonishing to me how a major US political party has decided extreme thick-headed stupidity is the only way forward. Trump ally Candace Owens: “I'm not a flat earther. I'm not a round earther. Actually, what I am is somebody who has left the cult of science. Science is a pagan faith.”
