The Lords, when populated with experts and all-round good eggs like him, is no bad thing - the appearance of hereditary peers IS!

Hardly in common use though, I'd venture. Forgive me for not having a link to Urban Dictionary in my Bookmarks bar!

I think SBD was suggesting you use "wishful thinking" as a description of my ramblings rather than a street term that no-one has ever heard of, not that it was valid for me to adopt it (whether i did or not).

Living in Ukraine has clearly taken its toll on the "teenager" in the middle!

Never heard it used in that context, but then again, i am rather older than 10.

(don't know what "cope" means)

If they are their constituents they can't stop engaging with anyone - that's what they are elected to do. Maybe don't engage with them through the railings of the Palace of Westminster or on the QE2 bridge. Is that what they mean??

There is "representative" and "statistically significant" - they still poll quite small numbers (usually in the single-figure thousands) and their methods may not reach all of the electorate, that's all.

My prediction is that it will turn out nothing like this. It is based on large swings in small numbers of by-elections, and ludicrously small samples of skewed demographics by the pollsters. Labour have plenty of opportunities to fuck it up between now and then.

Fuckin' shysters! They have no shame! Good for Jon Sharp sticking it to them.

I wish there were more independents running for parliament. There may be local issues to campaign on, but just saying that they would vote freely with their conscience, rather than with the Party whip would get my vote. I lived in Central Beds a few years back and our town councillor ran for the...

Maybe "white folks" with traditional Labour values who hate what is happening in Gaza??

Indeed. Although you probably wouldn't want to run a pub on the route home for the team bus, such was their legendary drinking habit and propensity for "high jinks" (picking fights with locals, etc).

In relation to the Rochdale result, they were saying on the radio this morning that if Labour don't change some of their rhetoric/vernacular on Israel/Palestine they could lose a lot of voters at the GE. They were totally bollocksed during the Corbyn era by adopting the warped definition of...

Not just English either. Ospreys can't afford the costs of groundshare with Swansea City at the Liberty, so are looking to use one of the other club grounds locally, with a capacity of 6,000!! The regional "mega-club" model is failing in Wales, and that is having a knock-on effect on the...

You think that will stop them??

I assumed it was all the coke and laughing gas they were consuming! But the key change at the start of the "Tottenham" line has been like that as long as i have been going, which is over 40 years. Not all of us are operatic tenors to be able to cope with the required vocal range of Etonian...

Obviously Simms MOTM, but i thought Kelly had a terrific game bossing the middle of the park. The problem is that playing such weak opposition does flatter to deceive. Palmer looked great, but he usually does against weaker teams (Oxford, etc) - i think this may mean we know what his level is...

Presumably you adhered to their company policy of just lobbing them in any old front garden, irrespective of the number?? 🤣

Does this work too? They want people to sign up to it!
