The link above says they need to nominate "A" challenger. So if 3 candidates are backed by 27 each then that's enough. But it is looking unlikely to happen. They all know they're all useless.

Aye, the manager of Accrington Stanley is being blamed by his own team for them not winning the FA cup. They're all way out of their depth.

Ah right, they need to nominate a challenger, not just say he's a useless twit. Makes sense I suppose. So we have to wait for Streeting to give up with the suspenseful drama and actually get on with it. If his delays, drama and deceit are his way then I doubt he's going to make a great PM.

If I had a spare £5 million I'd give it to Nige. Great bloke, people will be grateful to him eventually when he turns around this mess.

You seem to already know you're going against the grain by expecting anyone qualified to agree that you don't need one. You could end up spending a lot more on reports than it would cost to add one, then still end up with a cracked wall when you later find out they were right anyway. Building...

Aye, if you put them all round you can make things worse by giving the air a diagonal short-cut. I replaced ours with ducted-through ones before the cavity wall insulation was added. For obvious reasons this is essential. If you don't have CWI then you should consider it, it makes any house...

What's a very rough typical cost to employ a skilled/trained bricklayer in the Midlands/Yorkshire? A daily rate for say an 8-hour day, not per-brick.

I can't understand it. Previously we were told that if 81 MPs put their names down then Starmer would be up for election. Last time I checked there were about 90, yet he's saying he's going nowhere. What's happening? Is he ignoring the Labour party rules?

90% of the world have bigger, closer issues than what's going on in the middle east. It's barely relevant to us, we need to fix things at home and not get dragged into an unsolvable problem.

That's the Guardian, the internal Labour party magazine, so it's very unlikely to be balanced. It's just lawfare. They'll drag his name down while muddling about and thinking about it then quietly drop the inquiry on a busy news day, probably when there's a big deadly event of some sort, in...

Thank you, both thoroughly bookmarked!

Wow. Propaganda at its finest. Our local BBC radio station was reporting the same line this morning too. I suppose, at the furthest reaches of the meaning of the words, you could argue that someone paying their bills would then be cleared of wrongdoing, but if this is the case then it's...

Starmer has the ability to single-handedly call a general election whenever he wants. He's power-mad enough, he'll probably be threatening the rest of them with this, knowing they all know they'll all be out of a job. Basically shut up or I'll burn the house down. I hope this is happening...

I'm currently learning the ropes of sea kayaking. Probably like yachting, there's a lot to learn about the tides. They don't go up and down, they go sideways and all over the place, at very varying rates. I doubt that the swimming clubs do much of this sort of training. I guess they think...

The ones I've seen don't. Their safety gear consists entirely of a bright swimming cap and a flask of tea after.

King's speech says Digital ID and closer ties with Europe. Is this government an exercise in how unpopular a government can make itself? Is it a weird practical joke of some sort?

I think we agree, that Nigel needs to release his grip a bit. But he did that with UKIP, and it morphed into basically a recycled National Front. So he's understandably keen to keep control of things. I'm sure they'll find their feet once they become a government, which is pretty much...

Really sad. No information on why they were there. People who go out to sea in boats wear layers of insulation, wetsuits or drysuits, lifejackets and other safety gear, together with lots of rules about how quickly people need to be pulled out if they do go in. Meanwhile, I see people, often...

The BBC says the BBC is making unproven allegations against Reform shocker! Wow, it's almost like they're some sort of government-run propaganda outlet.

Erm... they left?!? i.e. they had a difference so buggered off. They didn't start their own division within the party and corrupt from within, as the many factions within the Labour and Tory party do. Honestly, I'd prefer Reform to be less NIgel and more open to other ideas. But you...
