Those people still lift, it's mostly their own bodyweight through floor exercise, but they lift. Managing your own bodyweight in exercise is pretty important.

Fully agree. That's a change I made several years ago and it was a good one. And eating more was explicitly one of my reasons.

The Guardian notes that the right wing is wrong (as always, but especially in this case) and May actually broke convention by bowing, since usually only the head of procession does (they link to this video of Cameron and Corbyn both not bowing in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0UcjSHd7mo&t=229s)

I am a rock climber (well a boulderer). Good climbers* have big shoulders, lats, backs and forearms and decent chests but climbers are basically a whole tribe of people who religiously skip leg day

Failing to pass the speech is an immediate vote of no confidence. Corbyn can then offer to form a government and attempt to get his own speech through. If not, new election.

Pretty much.
But I don't think anybody is predicting a tory backbench rebellion on this vote. Probably because they're hoping to use May's currently twitching corpse as a shield to soak up a few more hits before discarding her.

my favourite thing about Myers is how his reaction to Cameron loving a dead pig was to claim it was normal university stuff but he thought that Corbyn and Abbott having a relationship was so funny that he wrote a loving musical about it.

Radio 2 making programming just for me. Gorgeous Ed with Barney from Napalm Death.

I haven't caught the segment but a friend did and says that Barney was teaching Ed how to do death metal vocals which sounds like must-hear radio.

Wait, Jeremy Corbyn and who? The big coward who went to hang at a Tory fundraiser in Westminster rather than do something about Grenfall? Not sure she counts as more than half a Prime Minister...

A source close to the deal said the City of London Corporation paid around £10 million for the flats thanks to an “extraordinary gesture” of goodwill by St Edward in selling the properties at their cost price.

The source said: “They are being sold to the corporation at cost. It is a huge gesture by them. It just goes to is show what kind of mark-up there is.”
