Perhaps he had already welcomed him and couldn't be bothered to do it again on what is essentially a 30-minute lunch-time TV programme?

Who knows - perhaps he thinks Snell is a oval office?

Why is it interesting? That's basically how they voted in the Commons, only the proportions of people is different.

Dunno, I suppose I just found it interesting that all the Labour peers voted for the amendments and wanted something to say in the body of the post. I apologise for posting something that actually turned out to be something very uninteresting.

I went to London to see them do their second ever live show way back when '05 or '06 at the Underworld-. It was fun & quite novel, except Axis of Perdition had to withdraw as the support band meaning I've never been able to see them live and that is sad. Then they started playing all the time and the last time I saw them I fell asleep. Which makes it the second show I've ever fallen asleep at.

I remember them saying they could never play live with any regularity because they were just so metal and heavy and they did occasional shows with the bass player from Napalm Death and then boom, put a band together and touring!

[edit2] not UK, and not grindcore, but Scott Hull is the riff master and should be appreciated!

I really want it to succeed now, I'd never be so happy in my life as to be wrong about the disaster it's going to be. But, no, no-one will learn any lesson at all, because it's never their fault. Remember: Brexit cannot fail, it can only be failed. It's those filthy remoaners fault for not getting behind it.

It won't even be the filthy remoaners fault, it will be Corbyns fault.

My choice is between labour or nobody. My local mp is a good lad and anti Corbyn so I'll probably vote for him.

What if he were a good lad and supported Corbyn; what would you do then?

Surely in by-elections, you vote for the MP that will best represent and serve your local area in Parliament. So, for example, you would still vote for this hypothetical Corbyn supporting "good lad".

Yes, every competent politician is going to be able to see how things will work out. If you stand against Corbyn, 50% plus of the (internal) electorate will immediately and irrevocably conclude that you are a backstabbing neoliberal charisma-free Blairite war criminal. Which gives you less chance of becoming Labour leader than Corbyn has of becoming PM.

The problem is not personal, it is structural. It is like someone built a slalom course where the best Olympic skiers couldn't get through.the first two gates.

Why should I, as a member of The Labour Party, vote for Clive Lewis?

If it is because he was one of ARE BRAVE BOYS then sorry, lost me already.

The Beeb had Quentin Letts on over the phone, explaining what he saw from his window. His eye-witness testimony was very valuable because he described a man carrying "what might have been a stick".

Edit: Apologies, I misquoted Mr Letts from my memory. Have found a transcript. The phrase was "He had something in his hand, it looked like a stick of some sort"

Perhaps it was a really sharp stick?
