So, the real answer to your question, is none, because all the conservatives, and the DUP, voted for to stay in their jobs.Which is turkeys voting for every day to be Xmas...until the next election anyway. |

The snow front has reached Yorkshire, and England is turning into Narnia while the White Witch is still on her feet. |

Walking to school in the snow, sleet & ice - not forgetting the "infamous" London smog. The changing priorities in nearly 6 decades is fascinating. :-) The soft life Wonder what the priorities will be 6 decades hence |

If you laid all the politicians arguing about brexit end to end they would never reach a conclusion. |

There was one quote from last week that was particularly memorable I thought. About Theresa May. Made by Nicola Sturgeon. '... the only leader in living memory that tried to fall on her own sword and missed' Of course she was also the only one of the party responsible for this, who didn't leg it to a distant horizon somewhere... preferably with a beach... after their "good idea" to win an election, but as a round-up of recent events, it really was rather excellent. |

I wonder how much more quickly they would come to an agreed solution if all the bars in the commons were closed down until they do? |

Having sent off my postal vote, I can now engage in my annual ritual of engaging canvassers for the other parties at length when they turn up. |

There I was, hoping that Trump and the Queen could gang up on Theresa May and persuade her to resign... :-) |
