And I have just cancelled the order of the Xmas present I had bought for Mr Riots as I have no confidence it will be delivered. Waited in today as notified. When the hour slot for delivery passed I saw that the email from the delivery co (DPD) had been updated to say they had failed to find our address and to wait for further notification from them. I attempted to ring the supplier as if DPD have failed to find us once, they are unlikely to succeed another time so wanted to arrange an alternative pick up point or give more instructions. I was told the delivery co claim they have been ringing me all day .... the phone is 6 inches away, I've been in all day. That lie made me decide to cancel immediately. Mr Riots will have to be told ...

“If the shadow Secretary of State wants to see a failure to prepare young people for the
life of work, he ought to be thinking about the fact that under the previous Labour
Government one in three of our young people were leaving primary school unable to
read and write. That is a shocking statistic.”

F*ck her (pardon my French).

The government has slashed school travel funding by £6 million, forcing local authorities to consider making cuts elsewhere.

Glad they're just cutting Labour's waste and not hitting the frontline.

There's a free school in the pipeline that's costing seven times the whole amount.

It's the body language, he doesn't seem to have endeared himself to them.

I assume they've all been cooking together for some period of time.

Is this his bacon butty picture? (bear in mind Miliband's photo was a still frame chosen from video footage).

d'Ancona was one of their best writers ... despite, as you say the obeisance to Dave. What made them get rid of him and keep Hodges is the question?

As is often said on this forum this man is contemptible . I can't imagine Brown, Blair, Major (or even Thatcher for that matter) showing such indifference to the responsibilities of high office.

I was going to find some amusing related picture and post it but having searched with google for David Cameron dancing I regret looking.
