I wonder if front rank politicians are given an easier ride because it is feared they wouldn't otherwise come back?

So you extrapolate a "larger change in the membership" from a single CLP that I thought you were no longer a member of?

Would you like to retract this claim?

Not at all. See the report. Reflects my own experience.

Leading Brexiters who accuse civil servants of sabotaging Britain’s exit from the EU are adopting dangerous tactics similar to those of rightwing German nationalists between the two world wars, a former head of the civil service has warned.

In a stark assessment of the acute tensions developing over the issue, Andrew Turnbull, who led the civil service under Tony Blair, said that Whitehall officials had become the victims of “pre-emptive scapegoating” by Brexiters who feared they were losing the argument.

“To apply for UC, claimants must first create a Verify account online, which proves their identity. While this account is useful for accessing a range of government services, it can create challenges for those claiming UC,” said the report.

UC is not the only service where Verify has been struggling. The Verify completion rate has been below 50% for most of its live use since June 2016 – meaning that less than half of all people who attempted to set up a Verify user were able to do so. The current success rate at the time of writing is only 54%.

Ah yes, the completely unbiased objective and facts devoted Times/ST

A crude propaganda rag no better than the Sun and Mail, just with some lingering - and these days wholly false - pretensions to proper journalism.

But of course, YOU believe everything in it unquestioningly.

Sad!

There's a hard-left infiltration of all the CLPs, forcing out all the moderate supporters to install a Marxist MP?

Am I close? Because your reply was less than helpful.

I am genuinely puzzled by the gender equality movement. If I understand correctly, only certain types of women are allowed now? Not those who want to be, say, cheerleaders? And where are Madonna and Miley Cyrus on this spectrum. Aren't they objectifying women?

I do recall the discussion around the first female Dr Who about how she wasn't going to be tramping around a field wearing stilletoes and getting someone to help her with her sonic screwdriver - but why not? Some women do wear stilletoes and some aren't into DIY. Is that not allowed now?

This may be read completely wrong, so I apologise in advance for putting over the wrong impression.

My view is that grid-girls and darts valets and the like are just there to provide something to look at. They could be replaced by a sign on a pole and all you would lose is the T&A.

Cheerleaders/Madonna/Miley are actually doing something that requires skill (is that the right word) and they do something that can be separated from how they look.

I did have a stab at it.
