What people are failing to realise is in the next GE there will be at LEAST 4 parties splitting the remain vote, with leavers only really having to vote for just one (UKIP aren't much of a force anymore) Which means they'll continue to do badly.

Didn't see that interview but did see Morgan on Question Time. Don't tell anyone, I'd hate to get called out as a fan of Morgan, but have to say he was an absolute star. Easily the best on the panel. By best I mean frank, forthright, measured and non-deflecting.

In the interests of balance, the rest of the programme was as predictable as ever with Madame the Chair intervening on her own behalf and panellists too erring on the self obsessed.
On the other hand the This Week that followed was full of school boy fun. Thank Andrew for the levity as usual. We even gratefully received two words which were at best unexpected. The first, in a reference to the split of Change UK which described their recent, some might say happy upheaval, was a ClusterChuka. I kid you not. The second, forgive me for skipping the context - there are lawyers everywhere - was Rohypnol. First time ever I've heard that word on a show of this type. I hope it doesn't fall foul of our profanity censor. I'm still laughing. And, I must say, commendations to our mods for their forbearance and unending, I hope, patience in allowing adult (in the general sense) progress on this excellent thread.

Nice bit of detail, mobile in hand. I'm surprised there isn't a cake of that balloon, I wonder what flavour it would be?

Trump Gateau.
A large squirt of bluster, a sprinkle of acidic spice, a spoonful of false pepper, and a burst of aromatic lacquer. Plenty of lard. Stirred with a greedy spoon and left on a low burner for quite a long time until the edges turn orange. Do not pierce with a sharp object, embarrassing noises are likely to disappoint. Indigestion may follow if swallowed. If so, seek immediate medical advice. Preferably NHS. Free. Currently – that’s not an ingredient of the cake.

A general comment and I must be careful not to incite so that the thread is immediately closed. I watched it this evening on “catchup” on the internet using a VPN. It was most telling when Fiona Bruce asked the audience to raise their hands if any of them were conservatives. Only 3 hands went up. Of the 3, one spoke up to tell how ashamed the conservatives should be for the mess they had created around Brexit. He had some looks of disapproval, but no one shouted him down. Surely there must have been more than 3 conservatives in the audience.....

Watched an old episode of Foyle's War last night. It was based on time at the end of the war.
Couple of things i picked up on. American business man saying to Foyle. " Germany going to war was inevitable if you bankrupt a country,it will in time fight back." American business man to British business man," I will be having a meeting with the Shah of Iran next week,to get him to allow you to get control of his oil fields,we must do all we can together to keep Stalin away from Iran's oil." I know it's only a television (play),but 75 yrs later nothing has changed.

Not forgetting that prior to Word War 2, in the 1920s and 30s, the USA was plotting war against Great Britain under "War Plan Red".
Although jealous of the British Empire, they decided to join us when Hitler became a bigger threat to world power.
