I think it's more the fact that he got her a job in politics after he met her when she was a waitress, and then she syphoned off hundreds of thousands of pounds of EU money to UKIP that's raising eyebrows rather than her age.

The guardian have written a whole article and given it prominent billing because Diane Abbott's office said they 'expect' her to vote with the whip on Article 50 rather than she definitely will. I mean it's slightly wishy-washy phrasing, but saying they expect her to vote with the whip is really as far as they can be expected to go without actually making the decision for her.

Pretty sure it's all of it. The adultery too, I mean it's the Daily Mail we're talking about. Remember the storm over Hollandes affair. e: God the comments: quote:Nothing proven, just anti-UKIP mainstream media intentionally making tenuous assumptions. Yet Keith V@z - even with his utterly abh0rrent antics proven - still lands himself an esteemed job with the Parliament's Justice Committee. And he's just one of a multitude that have never really suffered for their genuinely depr@ved lifestyles. The Lab/Con Establishment looks after its own, no matter what the public sees and thinks. Yeah the Daily Mail, a well-known anti-UKIP media outlet. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Feb 5, 2017 |

Nationalising the banks wasn't automatically a bad idea. The bad idea was when the Tories yet again sold off the equity at an overall loss.

 Newcastle United's army of fans is used to long journeys, and one found a way to cut the cost of a trip to Oxford - but it needed 56 separate rail tickets. Jonny Heywood booked split tickets from Tyneside for the Magpies' fourth round FA Cup clash last weekend. Mr Heywood said he saved £56 by not buying one ticket for the whole trip - but was left with a stack of seat reservations and returns. He and his girlfriend were left juggling 28 tickets each. In his tweet, Mr Heywood, of Washington, jokingly thanked his friend for the "worst advice" he said he had ever received. The tweet prompted other people to tell of their own thriftiness, including a football fan who posted a picture of a mound of tickets for a trip to see Southampton, which he said saved him £30. Split tickets can save passengers money as separate fares for each leg of a journey - all on the same train - are sometimes cheaper than one ticket covering the entire trip. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-38827931 kinda funny but also highlights how ridiculous the rail fare system in the UK is.

I read somewhere that they were passing a law to make it illegal to have a long distance ticket more expensive than the cheapest set of split legs, which aims to remove the ridiculousness (but can't find the article now). Although, the end result will probably just be the individual legs increase in price rather than the long distance tickets getting cheaper.

What royally pisses me off is that the train companies say there is no way to buy season tickets that cover the whole or part of the country because, complicated, different companies on different computer systems, the computers say no. This is total bollocks because a railway pass that covers the whole of the UK already exists. http://www.interrail.eu/interrail-passes/one-country-pass the honest answer is "we don't want to because it will cost us too much money". E: I once saved about £150 on a trip to Newcastle for 3 by buying a single ticket to the next station in a different county where there was a promotion running.

You can get season ticket rovers? Freedom of 'x' etc, that isn't a hidden thing I don't think? Don't get me wrong TOCs are bastards when it comes to tickets and will only get worse as their subsidy is reduced. Disappointing but not at all surprising to see ASLEF and the TUC have thrown the RMT under the bus with this Southern agreement. The new OBS guidelines on when a train can run without a second person on board may aswell read 'whenever the driver has a consonant in their name'.

Attention all renters: Tee-May's got your back! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/feb/04/may-abandons-home-owning-democracy-thatcher-tories quote:A major shift in Tory housing policy in favour of people who rent will be announced by ministers this week as Theresa May’s government admits that home ownership is now out of reach for millions of families. It'll be interesting to see what they mean by "incentives" for landlords to offer longer tenancies, since it suggests that such tenancies won't be mandatory. It'd have to be a pretty powerful incentive for landlords to choose them over the current six month secure tenancy followed by a rolling monthly contract.

So BBC news is taking about how awesome it is that we're moving away from the idea that everyone has to own their own house and how great renting is. Absolutely no mention of the fact that a) the idea everyone has to own their own home came from the Tories and they've been pushing it for years, b) it's their fault homes are now unaffordable for most people and c) they are basically admitting their policy has failed massively and home ownership will now be reserved for the rich. Incisive and hard-hitting journalism guys.
