Hi All

Strange times and sorry I’ve been absent.

We are now ready we hope to deliver education to 40000 students entirely online. Wow.

Stay safe everyone. Love from Yorkshire, Paul.

Berlin chimera confusingly highlights serious differences between London and Brussels (6,7).

@PF

And of course he missed a question mark

The worst thing, and why I haven't linked it, is the pile on of folk agreeing with him. Thankfully interspersed on occasion with rational folk pointing out that nobody much is saying Priti Patel shouldn't be a minister per se, it's just that she's done some bad stuff. Whereas Meghan is accused of wh...

Even by his standards this Tweet is abysmal (((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges "You can't criticise Meghan. That's racist". "OK. So presumably it's racist to criticise Priti Patel". "Oh, no. That's fine". "Oh. OK, so presumably it's fine to point out Diane A's contradicto...

This thread on the New Labour years is simple, factual and quite brutal.

Rename communal calamity - won't be done by Christmas he says (8.6).

Crazy mad livid Debby says "liar" Boris Johnson's attack on the BBC is "pernicious" (5, 8).

@AK

Confusingly Rita nobly declines to endorse any leadership candidates, not wanting to "damage anyone by supporting them" (4,5).

Priti Patel says Boris Johnson isn't a racist and that Dave's comments at the Brits were just a "generalisation". Yes Priti, Dave took the isolated racist comments that Johnson has made over the years and generalised them into the accusation that he's a racist. Perhaps she didn't mean to s...

I'm no expert on immigration.... But I'm singularly unimpressed by centrist Labour types criticising the new policy on the grounds it will be bad for British industry (even if it will). Trouble is Patel's story sounds rather good and plays right into the Brexit narrative. Even though it won't work o...

Interesting piece on taxation.

Reusable gnu arks in a huff storm out of Number 10 (5,10).

I think one requirement for me will be that candidates are firmly behind the current green economy policies. This is a Tory Labour divide where I think the latter win hands down. And where those who don't support it are not ideologically against, in the main.

Horror of horror I've noticed that apostrophe in candidate's. It was an autofill error honest!

In the short term, there are still many questions hanging over Johnson in respect of political and financial corruption. This is potentially very significant.

And this is an example where it will be key that any attacks are not linked to anti-brexit tactics.

I should perhaps have said I genuinely don't yet know who I'll vote for.

Morning All It's still difficult for Labour isn't it? Look at the Sunday Telegraph this morning and Johnson is already blaming the EU for reneging. Not clear what they are reneging on, but hey.... Sadly I think the only way out of this is to wait until people see the truth for themselves. That's pro...

That's a lot of members.

It will be important (note to self) to respect their choice!
