The big developments in the WH2020 race have been an appearance by one-time Democratic nomination favourite, Beto O’Rourke on Oprah’s V show and reports on BuzzFeed that the man toping the nomination polling, 76 year old Joe Biden, has made no contact at all with the states that hold their primaries first.

  • Can anyone explain what's happening with May's visit to Europe today?
    I've read news articles stating that the EU chiefs have responded by ruling out any legally binding changes, and read other articles stating that the EU have opened the door to legally binding changes which will be determined by end of February.

    What's really going on?

    The proportion who think that Britain was right to vote to leave the EU has dropped again, and now stands at 39 per cent, down two points since the end of January, with 48 per cent saying the UK was wrong to vote to leave. Some 73 per cent of Labour voters oppose Britain’s vote to leave, with only 19 per cent saying Britain was right to leave.

    @OldKingCole All rings true. Methodism and the temperance movement were strong in South Wales, weren't they?

    Makes you wonder how men used to meet women, really. I've never been socially conservative about that sort of thing and refused to join two gentleman's clubs because of it. (not to make a feminist point, incidentally, but because I didn't want to spend £1,200 a year for the privilege of hanging round with a load of dull old farts on a Friday night without a single lady in sight.)

    Well, I met one girl whom I thought was going to be THE ONE (and IIRC so did she for a while) outside an A Level exam room just after the exam...... it was (don't snigger) practical Zoology and we all had to meet up in London ...... and the other, who was, a couple of years later at a Student Union dance.

    Interesting to see in the YouGov breakdown that the North is now 48% wrong to leave, 39% right to leave. It suggests Corbyn's fear of getting mullered in northern constituencies if he supports Remain/2nd Ref might be misplaced.

    (FPT) Liking the Orwell piece...

    "They are also inclined to despise rabbits, and rabbit-rearing for the table has never been extensively practiced in Britain. On the other hand they will eat young rooks, which are shot in May and baked in pies...."

    "The fish fried in oil to which the British working classes are especially addicted is definitely nasty, and has been an enemy of home cookery, since it can be bought everywhere in the big towns, ready cooked and at low prices...."

    "The other main category of puddings – milk puddings – is the kind of thing that one would prefer to pass over in silence, but it must be mentioned, since these dishes are, unfortunately, characteristic of Britain. They are preparations of rice, semolina, barley, sago or even macaroni, mixed with milk and sugar and baked in the oven. The one made with barley is somewhat less bad then the others: the one made with macaroni is intolerable to any civilised palate...."

    "The North" is generally what's quoted in the media. Though I grant you that your average London newspaper columnist considers anything beyond Hemel Hempstead to be the North, with the exception of Oxford, Cambridge and Soho Sodding Farmhouse.

    (Oxfordshire anecdote: Part of the planning conditions for Soho Twathouse were that it had to be signposted from major roads, following an agreed route that avoided the twistier lanes. Soho deliberately held back on implementing this for a couple of years because they wanted to play up the "rustic" aspect, and as far as they were concerned, people following the crow-flies route down tiny lanes was all helping the rural cachet of the place.)

    It will not be Norway with free movement and ban on our own trade deals - we may as well stay

    With the meetings planned upto the end of this month expect an agreement with the EU on a modified political statement and three month delay conditional on the HOC approval for deal

    That will concentrate minds

    They aren't. Scheduling meetings is May's preferred displacement activity. It gives the illusion of something having been done, without actually delivering anything.

    Also, vague assurances from the Irish government will help May not a jot.

    What sort of cowboy operators do the upgrade of the comment system of world class websites?

    Mumsnet has reported itself to the information commissioner after a data breach resulted in users accidentally logging into the accounts of strangers.


    A botched upgrade to the software the forum runs on meant that for three days, if two users tried to log in at the same time, there was the possibility that their accounts would be switched. Each user was able to post as the other, see their account details, and read private messages.

    The company doesn’t know how many user accounts were affected, but says that over the three days the bug was live, from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday morning, about 4,000 users logged in. Of that, only 14 users have reported an issue.

    Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts apologised to users in a post, saying: “You’ve every right to expect your Mumsnet account to be secure and private. We are working urgently to discover exactly how this breach happened and to learn and improve our processes. We will also keep you informed about what is happening. We will of course be reporting this incident to the information commissioner.”

    Mumsnet confirmed to the Guardian that it has now self-referred to the Information Commissioners Office, as it is legally required to do in the event of a data breach.

    Hey, is everything working again? It all looks OK...

    Yes it no longer looks like the wrong code page is being used. It got seriously odd looking at one point.

    Never Forget Robbie eventually rejoined Take That, I went to several of the gigs.

    Did too!
    And without bothering with a referendum.
    Democracy go hang yourself.

    Corbyn's 19% rating must be a concern for Labour strategists.

    Masterful understatement. The last thing we need is for Brexit to get even more complicated but as soon as that is out of the way he really needs to stand down and let Emily Thornberry take over.
    There seems to be a consensus on here at least. Corbyn has soiled himself over Brexit and I cant see him recovering. His 300,000 storm troopers are more dedicated to Remaining than to him. Thornberry is an excellent alternative. She'll keep the 300,000 on board but with a much wider appeal among neutrals. More important she's witty and feisty. An irresistible combination

    The proportion who think that Britain was right to vote to leave the EU has dropped again, and now stands at 39 per cent, down two points since the end of January, with 48 per cent saying the UK was wrong to vote to leave. Some 73 per cent of Labour voters oppose Britain’s vote to leave, with only 19 per cent saying Britain was right to leave.

    Utterly irrelevant.
    When Robbie left Take That approximately 98% of ALL voters thought it was the wrong decision.
    But the decision stood because it had been taken. By Robbie.
    And he went on to record Angels.

    Yebbut he left again in 2014....

    Interesting news from Brussels - the EU says Labour’s policy could offer a route out of the impasse. Permanent Customs Union would be a gigantic relief for our business, and many others.

    Let’s do it.

    Just on that. If we get a Labour style solution, I think we’d get a Brexit bounce in the economy. From sheer relief.

    What sort of cowboy operators do the upgrade of the comment system of world class websites?

    I can't begin to imagine the monstrosity they must have jerry-rigged behind the scenes for that bug to be possible. Has there ever been an industry so self-congratulatory about producing such shoddy products as software?

    Well it is remain without the benefits. No point we may as well stay in that scenario

    Corbyn was quite possibly the only person in the Islington North constituency to vote Leave on 23rd June 2016. But his supporters still think he's fantastic.

    That’s incredibly reassuring.

    😊
    Dreadful song isn't it.
    Is it the sound of Brexit Britain?
    I hope not.
