Kelvin grove museum is great, and if the weather holds up, kelvingrove park is a nice place to eat your lunch if you get sandwiches or something.

Can recommend the cannolli from lamora pizzeria too.

The weather will not hold up. It's already lashing rain. Getting to the meusum will require many stops in shops along the way to stay dry.

Yeah I know but it was clear from the sequence of tweets that she was reporting on the thinking of cabinet.

(Reuters) - Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn can be trusted to work with Prime Minister Theresa May on Brexit, Conservative Party lawmaker Oliver Letwin said on Wednesday.

"I think he is somebody that we can do business with," Letwin, the architect of a series of votes on alternatives to May's Brexit deal, told BBC radio.

"If we can find common ground in a way that fulfils the referendum mandate, preserves jobs and security and preserves the union, we will have a way forward that when we look back on it, we will all be proud to have participated in," he said.

New statement from Corbz:

"This government is afraid of me...I have seen its true face. The corridors of Westminster are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No.""

Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

Excellent, thanks. :)

The New Model Army was the template for the modern full-time, professional army, as well as being responsible for some alt-club floorstormers and pretty much the entire back catalogue of The Levellers.

Army officers (like officers from all other branches) swear an oath of allegiance to the monarch. Not to the flag, parliament or the country, but to the Queen specifically.

But until 2010 (under the 2006 Armed Forces Act) only the Army had to swear allegiance. The RN and the RAF, being inherently 'Royal', had their loyalty taken as given. The 2006AFA harmonised the legal practices of all three service branches and so now they all swear the same oath.

Until then the difference (in that the Army was inherently untrustworthy...) was also clear in the wording of officers' commissions - the Army ones have lots of suck-up phrasing like "greetings, trusty well-beloved [x], having special confidence in you..." because it stems from the time when armies were privately-held and a monarch couldn't afford to piss off nobles with the power to raise a force against them. Meanwhile RN and RAF commissions basically read like threatening letters saying that if you fail to uphold Liz R's wishes you'll be carted off to the Tower or shot on your own quarterdeck, and don't you ever forget it!

How this applies to members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces shooting at a picture of the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition I don't know but it's loving mindboggling that things have got to that stage, it really is!

Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair, or fuckin' beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man - and give some back.
Right correct me if i'm wrong here but....

The withdrawal agreement is legally binding. The political declaration (the future relationship) is not.

If TMay wants to come to a compromise with Labour, how can she can possibly guarantee that next part when she wont be PM?

Even if May and Labour come up with a deal, pass the Withdrawal Agreement and a Political declaration that is, say, a Customs Union with the EU and alignment on workers/environmental rights.

May then resigns and Bojo ends up PM and actually has to negotiate the future relationship part (i.e. everything above the bare minimum defined in the withdrawal agreement), and just says Nope, not interested, i'm in charge now...then labour have no come back?

That makes sense given that parliament can instruct the PM to do things and that doesn't change just because the PM does. Also puts a future PM in an interesting position where they can only change it by calling a GE :getin:

There's a bit of snow in EK today, and a weather warning just to the south of Lanark, down to England, but Glasgow city centre itself hasn't been too bad. Lots of brief hail yesterday.
It is raining just now though, so maybe I just didn't notice earlier.
