No one in Dumbarton seems to know why the county becomes Dunbartonshire.To be fair not everyday a random bloke stops you in the street and asks you.

Theme tune and no PTO,PFY a very naughty boy,though by the time PF turns over may have calmed down.

Headlines are designed to attract,more often than not bare little resemblance to actual content.

I think it just dates from the times of alternate spellings for the same thing/place, before these things got "standardised".

That's more to myself in linking habit,not adverse to reacting prematurely myself,that's how it works.

Disgraceful

PfY nothing is beneath them,contemptible on many levels.

There is nothing decent about even contemplating such cynical disingenuity.

Absolute scum .
He thinks he's clever so, doing a bit of 'weaponising', but surely it can be turned around against him, as we see already from the reaction here ?

View naff all to do with Corbyn but fundamental wrongness.

I substitute Norris the Belisha beacon(retiring in November) to depersonalise.

Have we met Norris before?

Or are they new to us?

He was my preference for leader in lieu of a pot plant,neither made the ballot-that time.

I like voting but sometimes I don't like having to make a decision.

but can't not vote.

To be honest I didn't read the Tory code of conduct,maybe it outlined that you had to maintain the behaviour of contemptible tosspot at every opportunity or something

In my humble opinion of course other mistaken views are available.

The existence of people with that mindset in any position of responsibility certainly scares the shit out of me.

The town of Frome - pronounced with an "oo" as in Typhoo - sits upon the river Frome - pronounced with an "o" as in oh.

It's a code, I think, to sort out the outlanders from the locals.

Like posh English names that are pronounced nothing like they're spelt, like Beauchamp or Featherstonehaugh, to trip up the uninitiated.

I'm nothing if not uninitiated.

Still trying to work above out.

Have we had Chris Leslie losing a vote of no-confidence?

Of course, posh people probably can't help being asses, it's probably handed down through their genes along with the absurd names. (Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson never really stood a chance). But Sajid Javid surely had a real choice not to be an ass. He has certainly never stood out as a particular ass before. Maybe it's catching.

No, don't think so.

Is a co-ordinated attack on all members of Friends of Israel going on or something?

Both Leslie and Ryan have consistently voted in line with the Labour whip this parliament and their voting records generally seem to be more or less in line with core Labour values. They didn't help the government like Field of Hoey so I assume it's something else they have in common that has led to them being targeted.

They must have said things that have upset Corbyn devotees, I guess, but picking on pro-Israel MPs at a time when relations with the wider Jewish community seem to be thawing a little seems a bit, well, deliberately and unhelpfully provocative.

And they have the absolute gall to bemoan the relaying of tangible harm directly attributable to their policies.

Current Tory government MPs have failed upholding their Tory code of conduct
They've not acknowledged their failings, let alone make efforts to correct wrongs

Goodnight, everyone

And Leslie is a Co-operative MP.

Could strain relations there.

Indeed, it's possible the Co-op may review it's direct involvement in politics. It seriously considered pulling out a few years ago.

Well, maybe the Co-Op Party shouldn't put its weight behind such utterly terrible people as Leslie, then?

Zero sympathy is overstating it, tbh.

EDIT: though this was apparently just a branch meeting, not the whole CLP - that is apparently coming later. I look forward to it.

Rare thing these days -- ByKit SandemanLocal Democracy Reporter ??

May have got the hint when it deemed necessary rooms for care as spare as but one obvious example.

The fact of "discretion",makes that worse not better.

As indeed the current use of "difficult",only to a misanthrope agonising as to the exact level/method of suitable punishment.

Constance banned to the kitchen for playing theme tune on the cello.Now making a Raymond Baxter face out of washing up liquid bottle and sticky back plastic.

And pipe cleaners.

PTO or not PTO ?
