Good morfternoon.
This article probably comes pretty close to how I feel. Which is odd, because I wouldn't describe myself as one of life's optimists.

British Steel on brink of administration, putting 5,000 jobs at risk
UK’s second largest steel producer needs emergency loan of £30m from government
There are rather more than 5,000 jobs at risk (knock-on effects) as the article goes on to say.

Never usually purchase finishing videos/photos of shuffling/staggering efforts but have video on this occasion as particularly funny.The contrast between in my imagination of supreme sprint finish and waddling reality an ever useful check on necessary humility.

Labour is moving in the direction Williams (and you) would like to see. It is a slow process because that is what the party is generally like.

I've just received a UKIP leaflet (apparently I voted to leave the EU, and am now very cross) - individually addressed, but delivered along with a take-away flyer (but not folded into it).

Except, of course, it appears that she's not, she's going to make a speech somewhere other than the House of Commons. And she's apparently going to resurrect the Brady amendment and let the House vote on ignoring what the actual Withdrawal Agreement says about the Backstop.

This is a characteristic of any organisation cooperatively structured. Add changing circumstances prior possible action. It can be frustrating.

May's single strategy is draining the life out of whatever she's near.
We can defeat her by engaging in joyful, rhythmic dancing.

I've been asleep so I missed the kick-off. Where is Theresa May speaking from - and why does she keep glancing up to the heavens? Is there someone up in the gods who she particularly wants to commune with? Oh - and what is she wittering on about (well, "Brexit" I know, but . . )? Any answers will be much appreciated.
And from what little I've heard so far - I don't trust her. Again.

The BBC is suggesting that Theresa May's latest offering might appeal to Labour - on account of the EU election. I don't see, at this stage (or at any stage, from my point of view, but that's by-the-by) why it should.

BBC has been desperate to talk up Labour MPs voting for May's deal throughout, I suppose you will have to ask them why.

The location seems to be shrouded in secrecy, unless I keep missing the revelation. Do you know where it was, please?

I think it was at an accountancy firm - *goes off and checks* - it was at Price Waterhouse Cooper's (or PWC as they now seem to be known) London HQ.
