What's a good waffle batter recipe? Got a waffle maker but have struggled to find a good recipe that works with it.

The one I used:
100g melted butter
300ml flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
400ml milk.

I found I had to add more milk to get the right consistency, might have been because it uses volume for the flour instead of weight.

If Joris loses the election he is out as LOTO anyway, there's absolutely no way the Tories keep him in opposition. He was only brought in because a) there was nobody else and b) they thought he could Deliver Brexit through his sheer waffle.

If they lose, and presumably have to deal with a no Brexit scenario (either through a solid revoke or a second referendum) then the party will collapse and they'll have to rebuild under someone else. No idea who that would be.

edit: finally joined Labour and threw £50 at them and Momentum because I have the money. I live in the Southampton Itchen constituency so I'll do what I can to swing those 30 voters back.

Yeah, I think they realised their mistake after keeping May on - and she was only on life support because of Brexit. If he doesn't gain seats, or nothing really changes, he's a busted flush, and the party's a dead end (well, I mean it literally is anyway), and they'll drop him. They'll then either skulk off into another wilderness years, waiting for another Cameron to polish the turd image, or more likely, just drop all pretence and crank the Openly Facist dial to max.

tbh, it is not shocking that the English/Welsh left to write Scotland off as acceptable losses. Nonetheless, I remarked back in 2017 that the most important effect Corbyn could have would be retaking Scotland. A bruising fight to fill ScotLab with loyalists later, ScotLab is still no closer to power and is publicly humiliated on a regular basis; English Labour mayors have far more latitude to contradict the party leadership and the NEC than the entire Scottish section.

somewhat reminiscent of the recent destruction of the Spanish left in Catalonia... Nationalism is a helpful and subservient force for liberation movements... until it isn't.

quote:

The paper's then editor, A. P. Wadsworth, so loathed Labour's left-wing champion Aneurin Bevan, who had made a reference to getting rid of "Tory Vermin" in a speech "and the hate-gospellers of his entourage" that it encouraged readers to vote Conservative and remove Attlee's post-war Labour government.[38] The newspaper opposed the creation of the National Health Service as it feared the state provision of healthcare would "eliminate selective elimination" and lead to an increase of congenitally deformed and feckless people.[39]

If Labour don't form the next Government, it won't matter what they've said in this campaign.
And if they do form the next Government, they've got a really good opportunity to demonstrate to Scottish voters that their lives can be improved while they're still members of the UK.
