Sorry didnt read article so it may have been covered there. My comments aren't about whether she is guilty or not but more about wider systemic failures. Having had some experience in neonatal care I cannot believe that the pattern of deaths wasn't picked up earlier. I know that in Scotland there i...

Might be worth noting that the New Yorker article can't be published or accessed directly in the UK because Letby is due to be retried in June on a charge of attempted murder as the jury at her first trial failed to reach a verdict on that charge. UK Media are legally restricted from discussing or r...

I see s. 28 ver 2.0 is on the cards with the new sex education guidelines, which are the usual batshit culture war lunacy, and will just drive kids to shit places to fund our about sex, gender and porn. You can tell its a shit policy as they had to wheel out Chris Philp, who seems more than happy t...

Cohen? Nah, he had a purple patch but he wasn't a great wing. Shit on the Lions tour It was an important purple patch. And Lions form complicates things: Daly was excellent on the wing against the ABs, whereas I can't remember May even playing for the Lions. Struggling to remember many properly goo...

When he started to play for England May's main (only?) attribute was his pace. However, unlike some others he worked really hard on improving all his weaknesses. At his best he was lethal in attack and could score tries from nowhere. Even when he started to lose his pace, he continued trying to impr...

And why are Tory PM's happy to promote suspected KGB agents to the House of Lords?

It's a nonsense, but we can dream... Corbyn was polling far behind the Tories in the run up to 2017, about 23% to the Tories 40%+, he was over 20 pts behind at times. That's where predictions of Labour wipe out come from. Corbyn then closed the gap in the final two months won over 40% and was 2.5 p...

I'm not sure if it has been reported here yet, but following Laurence Fox's failure to submit the correct forms on time to stand for London Mayor, he did manage to submit an application to stand in the elections for a position on the London Assembly. Sadly for him, he didn't do terribly well and los...

Which major city in the western world doesn’t have stabbing and muggings? It’s part and parcel innit. Not like The Wire - mind you. Despite the spurious and unevidenced claims made be Susan Hall, GB News and YMX, London has relatively low levels of violent crime. There are more than 30 police areas...

I see the Tory loons are out in force this morning demanding that Sunak 'change course', move even further to the right and emulate the party that secured a grand total of 2 councillors across the UK, rather than consider why it is that the election saw large swathes of former Tory voters switch to ...

Lib dems ahead of the Cons now :clap: Screenshot_20240503-203259.png I really can't see London bucking this trend and voting for that mental hag. Although it would be a surprise, it's certainly a possibility through a combination of factors. The biggest Labour areas are in Central London where the ...

Khan will retain his duties, demographs are demographs. Quite why he needs a bullet proof £300,000 chauffer driven car, I don't know. Because two politicians have been murdered in the last decade and some right wing loons think he is an Islamist who has handed London over to his fellow Islamists. A...

It's much easier to be a Tory Mayor when a Tory Government is in power in Westminster that wants to back everything you do. A Labour Mayor will find it much more difficult to work with a Tory Government determined to make things as difficult as they can for him.

Are there any figures showing how popular, or not, the Rwanda scheme is with the electorate? Support is around 47%. The problem for Starmer is Labour MPs and core Labour voters don't support it. And what does he think will happen? Fully supporting the Rwanda scheme if anything strengthens Farage an...

Politics aside, who on earth ever considered Yousaf to be anywhere near the calibre required to run a country? I'd say the same about Liz Truss. It's what happens when careerists within a party vote for whatever benefits them and their agenda, rather than the country. Mind you, when Sturgeon went, ...

Kwasi's on that list a few times
William Wragg's on that list as well, not for handing out other MPs personal details, but for starring in a video in which 3 males pissed on him!
I thought we wanted our MP's to have real world experience

Apologies if posted previously..but WTF?.. https://twitter.com/CliveWismayer/status/1780854197392486652?t=OV2Shf2cQRz4ygJu0eJQkQ&s=19 Kwasi's on that list a few times :lol: William Wragg's on that list as well, not for handing out other MPs personal details, but for starring in a video in which...

The Times seems to have found a way to stop their articles being read on archive sites, so the only part I can see of former Tory MP Mathew Parris' article is this "The hounding of Angela Rayner is outrageous: brutal, snobbish and completely out of proportion to any mistake she may (or may not...

He has a point. https://twitter.com/eylonalevy/status/1779770062263501156?s=46 Although the consulate bomb was a bit of a catalyst. Then again if Yemen who we have recently bombed, sent 300 drones and missiles to Britain. We would be of the mind to end them. He doesn't have a point, it's a really, ...

Serious question. Since when do the police get involved in what is essentially a revenue matter ? Certainly in Ireland the revenue have far more powerful investigative powers than the police do, and if they think you've been economical with the truth in your return, will go through you like a dose ...

Conditions absolutely ruined the game as a contest. It picked up incredibly in the second half and made it virtually impossible for Scotland to break out of their own 22. Couldn't kick it and didn't stand a chance of running it out. Conditions were difficult for both side, with driving rain in the ...

Strawbridge into the England coaching set up for the Summer tour. England have bolstered their backroom staff by adding Andrew Strawbridge to their ranks as an assistant coach and coaching advisor ahead of the Red Rose’s upcoming tour to Japan and New Zealand. Strawbridge, who was part of the All B...

Just so pleasing to have spent so, so many hours on GDPR only to see an MP act like this. Makes it all feel worthwhile And I do recall every now and then it being mentioned there were some serious sanctions for egregious breaches The potential fines for infringing an individual's data rights are su...

All for the sake of a dick pic or two. What an absolute twat!!!! A senior Conservative MP has reportedly admitted to giving out the personal phone numbers of colleagues to a person he met on a dating app. William Wragg told the Times that he gave the information after he had sent intimate pictures ...

Don't think this has been mentioned yet, but this is hilarious "The former actor Laurence Fox will not be a candidate at the London mayoral elections after failing to fill in the nomination forms correctly." https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/mar/28/laurence-fox-ruled-out-london-mayo...

Bollocks to England third, head to head comes into play :grin: They’ve got more points than us. I don't care Scotland should have come fifth in the table. You lost more games than Ireland, France, England and Italy and if your head to head with Italy came into play, you would have been fifth. It wa...

U21s looks like it was a good game. Under 20s - and it was a cracker. Great comeback from 21-5 down to win 45-21. Lots of skill on show but also lots of errors - which always makes for lots of entertainment. England were just that bit smarter. Well deserved Championship title. 45 - 31 actually. It ...

Its a great shame that France have finally realised that Le Garrec is their best back up to Dupont. As he showed against Wales, a France with him at 9 is much more dangerous than one with Lucu.

It's been a good while since I've seen one, but a penalty kick shootout in cup competitions is usually a bit of a laugh, especially once it gets to the forwards. Although I remember Martyn Williams missing one in sudden death for cardiff, which seemed a bit cruel as he was one of the better players...

Yep, he's already taking on a few touchfinders so he could step up. Not sure if it would be a benefit to Ford, to take away pressure, or a slap in the face. Didn't we once end up with Tindall kicking when Charlie Hodgson had a few wobbles? The ignomony. If I were a rugby coach my first rule would b...

Some people still bang on about three day weeks, power cuts and rubbish in the streets when thinking "Labour could be worse". Its worth remembering that the Three Day Week was introduced by Edward Heath's Conservative government. It was Wilson's minority Labour government that ended the t...

I don't think we need to win, but we do need to show a continued attempt to play alongside a sensible shape. Losing Feyi-Wabso will hurt, we cannot likely replicate turning a defence and yak yards like that Interesting as what worked in large part against Ireland was the power aspect to our game, a...

It was hardly chess let alone 3D or even 4D chess from Starmer if even I saw the hole that Sunak was digging for himself. Starmer merely gave him a bigger spade to keep digging with! This stuff about Hester goes back 4-5 years so it is highly likely that someone in the Labour Party knew of its exis...

Slade is the obvious alternative as he's kicked several pressure kicks for Exeter this season. Yep, he's already taking on a few touchfinders so he could step up. Not sure if it would be a benefit to Ford, to take away pressure, or a slap in the face. Didn't we once end up with Tindall kicking when...

Yeah I thought Ford played very well ball in hand. Kicking another story of course but that happens The kicking off the tee was really quite poor. I was expecting that to come back and bite us. What's Furbank like off the tee, I wonder? We should go back to 15s kicking for goal. Slade is the obviou...

This hasn't aged too well. Just about everything Sunak touches turns to rat shit!!!! https://twitter.com/ToryVote_/status/1745561079109886215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1745902359706751322%7Ctwgr%5Ea57badc5fdccbd778aee2385133fcadc3d7935ef%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A...
