I'll have you know that this is a two catflap household. Not that she seems inclined to use either. She's quite capable of using them (in the summer) but, otherwise, demands commissionaire service.

I imagine that she's, rightly, pissed off about the fixed odd betting thing.

Arron Banks and other leave campaigners being investigated by National Crime Agency over 'multiple suspected offences' during referendum (Politics Live, Guardian)

Barnier says reports about EU and UK reaching deal on financial services 'misleading'
Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, has taken the unusual step of putting out a statement describing as “misleading” the story that appeared in the print edition of the Times under the headline “May seals Brexit deal on financial services”.

He also makes the point that “equivalence”, which is what the Times says has been negotiated (albeit, it says, in a slightly beefed up form), is a fairly routine EU offer.

NCA initiates investigation following Electoral Commission referral

The NCA has initiated an investigation concerning the entities Better for the Country (BFTC) and Leave.EU; as well as Arron Banks, Elizabeth Bilney and other individuals. This follows our acceptance of a referral of material from the Electoral Commission.

Our investigation relates to suspected electoral law offences covered by that referral, as well as any associated offences.

While electoral law offences would not routinely fall within the NCA’s remit, the nature of the necessary inquiries and the potential for offences to have been committed other than under electoral law lead us to consider an NCA investigation appropriate in this instance.

This is now a live investigation, and we are unable to discuss any operational detail.

PS Well , not completely ! He came in all by himself this morning, but after breakfast he just went and looked at it, waiting for me to open it and give him a little shove.

I think that's normal behaviour (for cats that is, not me personally) Mrs tbg. says he might be afraid of being ambushed, so will be ok coming in, but going out is more risky, especially if there's a lack of cover.Our resident princess (the cat) has been happier since some shrubs/flower pots were positioned to the side of the doorway. Also found same advice on web, so it must be true. !!
