@Paul, TC, A Hindle,

Clarification please. Are Yorkshire Tea, Tory supporters or not? I need to know! TELL me, tell ME, tell me NOW!

I didn't buy the tea bags exemption clause,in case.Each individual tea bag has expressed socialistic beliefs.Then again they were about to get boiling water over them.

Yorkshire Tea is a black tea blend produced by The Bettys & Taylors Group. It is the third most popular tea brand in the UK, and was introduced in 1886 by Charles Edward Taylor. Founded as CE Taylor & Co., later shortened to "Taylor's", the company was purchased by rival 'Betty's Tea Rooms' which today forms The Bettys & Taylors Group. Taylor's is still based in Harrogate, Yorkshire, in the first 'Betty's' tea room. The group is still owned by the founder of Betty's' family, Fredrick Belmont and is currently chaired by Lesley Wild.[1] The company is one of the few remaining family tea and coffee merchants in the country, whilst competing with the British-owned PG Tips (Unilever) and Tetley (Tata), where Yorkshire Tea is now the third most purchased tea brand in the UK, overtaking Twinings and Typhoo

For northerners, there's only one choice.

Been to the match tonight - Why do the gods of football put Geordies through the mill? Two goals in the 5th & 6th minutes of extra time to beat Norwich 4-3.

And Rusty is still just a cock and WUM. Not worth responding.

Really not clever to have the shadow AG unable to ask the actual AG any questions, as in different houses....

No, I thought that too.

But does the AG do much in the way of speaking in the Commons? Maybe they'll just use Starmer for that.

@Paul, TC, A Hindle,

Just about everyone else in Harrogate is a tory supporter, so on the balance of probability, yes.

[Hobiejoe]

I would've thought Co-op tea would be the ethical choice?

I just read that - can't possibly tell anyone what our policies are based upon...

[RogerOThornhill]

Interesting.

Just reading about the suspension of Ben Emmerson and thought I'd wiki him. Until 1999 he was a member of Doughty Street Chambers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doughty_Street_Chambers

Other notable members include Amal Clooney, Louis Blom-Cooper, Geraldine Van Bueren, Sadakat Kadri, Helena Kennedy, Ben Silverstone and Keir Starmer.

I suspect that appointing Starmer to be Shadow Home Secretary might well be a very decent appointment right now...and this might be somewhat embarrassing to the Home Secretary who set this inquiry up and had responsibility for it until fairly recently.

Night all.
