I'm pretty sure Cameron knew what it was, given he was always on holiday at conferences there. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure he also knew he had to appease the ERG to keep an effective majority.

And as noted above he also knew how to lie his face off properly.

Graun quoting the FT:

quote:

An ICM poll suggests that support for the Brexit party would double from 9 per cent to 18 per cent if an election takes place after Halloween.

The poll, commissioned by Represent Us — which is pushing for a second Brexit referendum — found the Conservatives’ lead over Labour would evaporate in those circumstances.

The ICM poll suggests the Tories would beat Labour by 37 per cent against 30 per cent in an October election, while the two parties would be neck and neck on 28 per cent in a November poll.

mwahaha

Stephen Bush live blogs eating the JFC chicken. It's not very nice.

"A quick Google suggests that the answer may be "because the nearest KFC is 24 minutes walk away, and by the time the chicken arrived, it would be disgusting.

Whereas this chicken didn't have to travel very far to be disgusting

We also have to consider the possibility that CCHQ do not in fact know what KFC actually is."

Having eaten in various Parliamentary canteens (I know of 5 general ones across the estate, not including MP-only ones), none of them produce chicken as bland-looking as that.

Something that I was thinking about with a colleague yesterday was what happens if Boris just goes to the queen and resigns without letting a leadership election play out.

Until now the previous PM resigns and the new one almost immediately visits the queen to be given the office. But Boris could just resign and leave the country leaderless on the 19th, so Benn's bill cannot apply as it requires the 'Prime Minister' to perform the actions, and unless the house can grant someone confidence, the bill would be unenforceable.

Which is where Jezza would need to gain confidence, and when it's down to the wire like this I'd have to say gently caress Jo Swinson if she really wants to do her poo poo under those circumstances.
