Morning. Boris not a shoe-in for Uxbridge ? Local paper quotes a Tory there as saying “Boris is not at all a shoe-in and he’s got a real fight on his hands now. David Simmonds is very popular around here, and Uxbridge’s kind of guy. We don’t go in for flashy and we’ve never been interested in celebr...

Maybe it would be useful to have a heading on Daily Politics to explain that's what it is for ?

It can be difficult getting the jist of site protocol when you are a newbie and it would be a shame if Big Sink is put off forever. At least no one can blame me this time !

I have to say I am genuinely shocked that (again) we have naked pictures of famous actresses on the internet. Shocked I tell you.

Survation/Mail On Sunday have a constituency poll on Clacton and frankly it's unbelievable.

Hi Giselle, lovely to hear from you.

Sounds an odd situation for you to be in, hopefully things will get resolved.
Must be strange to have to end up camping in what is still your own home.

Did you get any strange vibes about the buyer ?

As TE says, strange days. Find myself in sympathy with Grant Shapps.

@PF The mention of Hancock in the same sentence as 'harness' and 'slaving' rather conjures up something from his Portsmouth Lib Dem pal's adult 'parties' :whip: [By pal I don't mean Rennard or Vernon Jackson [in case their lawyers are reading] but http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/liberaldemo...

Welcome back PF. Did you see the Independent piece last week about Rennard reportedly still helping Lib Dem candidates during his time in the wilderness ? It mentioned he is a pal of [& had allegedly been advising him on Lib Dem candidacy stuff recently] of Gerald Vernon Jackson. Creeps together.
