I barely noticed Charlotte Ivers. In fact, until I read your above post, I'd forgotten all about her.

I felt for poor Jack Thorne as I watched his hands shaking. Sterling bloke, who managed to rise above his obvious nervousness to good effect.

Yesterday, you asked about the £150 Council Tax rebate. I don't know anyone who has received it yet and, apparently, it's possible that it could take until September to come through. So tough luck for those living on a financial knife-edge.

I think that you're deliberately missng his very valid point. It's usually true that selling up and moving into a tent, assuming that you can find a suitable site, is a marvel in terms of reducing your energy bills.

Boris Johnson defends Angela Rayner against ‘perverted’ Basic Instinct claim (Sunday Times - paywall) It's got to the point where one could almost be forgiven for thinking that the article was written to set the scene for Boris Johnson to be the man on the white charger.

Good morfternoon. If, from the TV news, I've got the gist of the juvenile, misogynistic Mail on Sunday article it would suggest that the paper has very little faith in the equally juvenile and misogynistic Boris Johnson's ability to keep his mind on the job.

Boris Johnson may be "out" on Conservative Party literature but, here at any rate, grocers apostophe's are most definitely "in".

Anyway, sorry Ukraine. Your moment in the sunshine of Boris Johnson's smile would seem to have passed. Unless he needs you later.

It's obvious that this is nothing to do with "processing". It's a one-way ticket to Rwanda. And she's still doing the not knowing the difference between "legal" and "illegal" thing.

I wonder if Boris Johnson will find a way to claim on expenses the cost of the fine that he's so obviously expecting everyone to admire him for having paid. Unless, of course, Lord Brownlow paid it.

So, essentially, Vladimir Putin gets the casting vote on who's to be the UK PM?

I didn't understand a word that Kate Andrews said. Well, I understood the individual words. The problem arose when she put them in a sentence. She must be one of the few people who can be said to be ill-served by the ablity to string more than two words together.

P&O partly justify their action by claiming to have been making losses. Many of which can be attributed to "Brexit".

I'd say it was rather more than unfortunate. It was a catastrophically stupid error of judgement made with no foresight whatsoever and which had bad consequences for almost everyone.

The fact that Ukraine is not a NATO member renders the defensive bit void in this case, I agree, and I'm not saying that I support military action by NATO against Russia (although the sub-text of Tony Blair's essay indicates that he well might).

True. Putin's ultimate weapon appears to be that he's mad. Getting rid of him one way or another is probably the best bet. And even then it's just that - a bet. And one that, to maximise our odds, needs careful timing. I hate to say so but the "window" was earlier on in the war and I think...
