Ha - no! Sky News reporting that lunch (which was, apparently, to feature the aforementioned comestible) has been cancelled as the talks have broken down. Although the love affair has survived, we're told.PaulfromYorkshire wrote:Is that a crossword clue?PorFavor wrote:Good morfternoon.

I actually think most of the party will reply "neither".

Well this is a bit inconvenient for the "Referendum result was all about immigration" line...
UK migration: Rise in net migration from outside EU

UK migration: Rise in net migration from outside EU
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47400679
andFigures show 261,000 more non-EU citizens came to the UK than left in the year ending September 2018 - the highest since 2004.
In contrast, net migration from EU countries has continued to fall to a level last seen in 2009.
In December, the prime minister said the government was sticking to its longstanding ambition to bring net migration down to the "tens of thousands".

For most UK families, the economic forecast is less certain but no less depressing
The numbers are starting to reflect reality.Chris Giles

A moment for me:
For years I've been correctly saying UK income inequality isn't rising.
The latest evidence suggests that is no longer true.
Low income growth and rising inequality doesn't add up to sunlit uplands in my book. My not so cheery column

I've had my interview under caution, btw.
It seemed to go ok. Initial feedback from the council officer after the formal interview was concluded seemed positive. Thanks for all the advice and support. I'm pretty tired out from all the stress, though, and angry, too, that after finally getting a formal ASD diagnosis, instead of getting more support for our son, we got this.
I've had my first real insight into the future of education under the academy school system and it isn't pretty. Apparently in the information the school submitted for the referral, there was no mention (or certainly no highlighted mention) that my son had a diagnosis of ASD.....

Re: Thursday 28th February 2019
It seems to be about whether the other parties that tend to go into coalition with Likud are concerned enough about the impact on their own vote to distance themselves, as far as I can tell. Certainly it doesn't appear to be enough to outright stop him running for a fourth term.AnatolyKasparov wrote:He's almost as slippery a customer as Trump, mind......

I follow some environment/conservation people on twitter, this is for anyone here who might have an interest, about Tony Juniper being nominated for chair of Natural England and appearing before the EFRA select committee.
The MPs were deeply unimpressive which will surprise nobody, see also btl.

Quite.The idea that someone should come into this role without any views on anything relevant to the job or without having previously supported any political party is preposterously stupid.
