Summer recess
- 18 July 2017 08:58331440The suggestion is that MPs will have a summer break then start plotting in the Autumn but I think many will spend the recess on the phone to others trying to decide which is the best candidate to back for career reasons.

I get the reference, however, whether she is pretty or not is absolutely immaterial. The policies and abilities to put them into action are all that matter. Attack or support the policies not the person is surely the righteous path, my dear WGS.Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you.

Excellent band. Saw them live in the eighties. Here's my favourite track:-"The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".

Hardly an 'attack' TB, just a gentle snigger from the back row. Politicians certainly seem unable to ‘do’ casual.
But it's really a wink at power and the function of clothing as sign: the language of the presence, absence, gaining and loss of power is, as it were, knitted to the language of clothing (invest, defrock etc.). Surely you of all people will be familiar both with that emboldening shiver of authority that accompanies an enrobing and with the emptiness of the subsequent undressing?Guest 1881 likes this'Pass the cow dung, my dropsy's killing me' - Heraclitus - Weird Granny Slater

I hoped as much. I take my hat off to your reply. I wasn't getting unnecessarily shirty, I say sock it to 'em as long as it is based on merit/lack of merit (actually isn't merit an anagram on mitre?).Weird Granny Slater likes thisJust because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you.
