I'm not sure what his angle is, it was a strange comment.

Dubed, you can donate to the donkey sanctuary here: Catch up with our donkeys | The Donkey Sanctuary

Cheers pva, as it happens you have lighted upon one of those that I already have a monthly commitment to (twenty quid a month, as it happens). I think we should all do our bit rather than relying on others, having a moan and simply discussing the plight of world, eh?

Ah. So you were making the point I thought you might have been, but I decided surely you wouldn’t go for such a tenuous argument.

So I can’t comment on the government cutting foreign aid because I haven’t donated to the India crisis or the Donkey Sanctuary. Gotcha.

This is more tenuous than your 'people vote Tory because of aspirations' argument.

I donate to Cancer and the dogs Trust

The way you've worded that makes it sound like you donate to cancer, as in supporting cancer

I'm guessing you just missed out 'Research'?

Good man. I donate to Cancer Research too.

Dogs Trust is another of mine as well, going back to 1988! They'd better give me a free dog and a box of food when I turn up for one.

It don't count unless you've bequeathed your estete to one of these.

I didn’t realise until I just saw it on the news that Boris had previously stood up in parliament and pledged that no leaseholder would have to front the cost of replacing cladding.

Boris not a man of his word. Who could have seen that coming.

Ah yes, I see from Getty Images it is. You can buy a large print for £375 if you wanted.

I can see the government's position in not funding it, but they really need to make the developers of these places do it

Remember, if you get Goves you effectively get Cummings as PM.

There'll be a lot of Cummings and Govings at No.10 before long.

The other way round, surely? DUP make the Tories look like the social democratic liberals.

As Pie says, “playing politics”, “nothing to see here”, “getting on with what really matters”. All buzzwords for wrongdoing.

yes, walllpaper stock. I bet they have more in the warehouse.

 

[shmmeee]

“Playing politics” is such a funny accusation for a politician to throw around.

As someone on Twitter said, it’s a bit like Man Utd losing a game and accusing the opponent of “playing football”.

 

[wingy]

Guess the question is ,was it her abstention on that vote that did for her?
