@porfavor from last night:
My pleasure. I’ve enjoyed a few of the late night music bits from you and @sky, so it’s nice to repay the debt a little.

THIS battle continues --
" In a tweet, the director and screenplay writer Reza Dormishian pointed to the photo of an Iranian actor that came from one of his films, and that another image was of the photojournalist, Nooshin Jafari, who is serving a four-year term in Evin prison for insulting the state. Radical film-makers have been in and out of court for more than a decade. "

Re: Friday 14th October 2022
I have to ask myself, why, when the PM has just sacked her chancellor, the BBC can’t have a Politics Live programme about the PM sacking her chancellor, rather than trying to bring in an examination of Labour’s plans to sort things out? Jo Coburn had two (at least) attempts to change the direction of discussion, but luckily events in the ‘real’ world kept redirecting her. It’s not good enough to say that the Government wouldn’t offer up a minister so… Not that they did, but you can see it emerging as an argument in favour of their line of attack.

Jeremy Hunt it is, then. Apart from anything else, does he have any previous experience in the economic field?

Quite high, I would say.
She is desperate not to go down as the shortest serving PM in history (or even postwar) and will do pretty much anything to avoid it - if possible.

Re: Friday 14th October 2022
Despite a bit of a hangover I must say I'm rather enjoying today, that press conference was a hoot, especially the gormless staring around to find her client journalists. That was weird. I mean how long does it take to find someone as morbidly obese as Harry Cole in a small room?
(Edited to include said gormless staring).

Re: Friday 14th October 2022
It just keeps getting better. Farage is berating Hunt for being a remainer while Dan Wootton and all the other anti-lockdown/anti-vax GB news nutters are going after him because he supported lockdowns and vaccinations. They're having a total meltdown. It's hilarious!
Here's another tweet that hasn't aged well to say the least.

Good afternoon.
Back from a day in one of my two libraries...
Anything interesting happened while I've been out?

Evening. The world leaves me speechless. Just wanted to thank you (as I sporadically do) for keeping things going here. I know I'm not pulling my weight (not that my random interventions are ever even on-topic) but I see it as complementary skillsets.

Re: Friday 14th October 2022
I've been seeing this repeated quite a bit on the right, that Ben Wallace has a hideous skeleton in his closet. I wonder what it could be.
Re: Friday 14th October 2022
WHOOOPS !
United Kingdom 30-Year Bond price fell out of bed again
<b>4.861 +0.317</b> +
Prev. Close: 4.544
Day's Range: 4.244 - 4.839
And sterling stuttered DOWN

So her speechlet didn't do any good then .

Not sure I get the 'skeleton in Ben Wallace's cupboard' line - if there is one cabinet post that would have been an automatic block on him, it must surely be Defence.
