    When Will It All Go Wrong For The Tories/ Johnson?

    Visitors to Zahawi's website were being redirected to Morduant's earlier, apparently!! Got to be Zawahi, Bedenoch and Hunt as the first three removed, unless 'spare' Sunak votes go to the latter at this stage to keep him in the contest.

    When Will It All Go Wrong For The Tories/ Johnson?

    Just had a nap, with radio on, and I could swear I heard Priti Patel saying this before I drifted into sleep:- '' It's disappointin' to me that some of my natural supporters had been persuaded to lend their signatures to others' nominations before I got a chance to launch my campai'n. I was too...

    His nanny would have voted for him :D

    When Will It All Go Wrong For The Tories/ Johnson?

    Will Badenoch be able to secure twenty MP nominations though? Apparently even Javid may be struggling with that figure. Braverman must be hoping Patel doesn't enter the fray too - Steve Baker might have excellent ERG credentials, but his stock has declined because he couldn't get elected to the...

    When Will It All Go Wrong For The Tories/ Johnson?

    My thinking is that, should it get to Morduant at no.3 with Sunak and Truss left to slug it out, she'll 'recommend' her supporters to vote for Sunak. Similarly, if Patel is left high and dry, her fellow Hindu may get the nod, particularly if Truss is the opponent. Patel wouldn't forgive Truss...

    Night Riv arrival at Penzance

    Not to be recommended - 'you don't be around from these parts' might not be said, but you'll become aware of the stares from the regulars on their stools which come much nearer to the serving counters than is usual in Wetherspoons. You might also find it difficult to catch the eye of the bartender.

    Keir Starmer and the Labour Party

    Hear! Hear! Remove their charitable status and bring them into the regulatory framework, including safeguarding. They've been the haven for weirdos and paedos for too long, as is known by their colleagues that don't fit into those categories but turn 'blind eyes.'

    When Will It All Go Wrong For The Tories/ Johnson?

    Steve Baker on PM radio programme just now said he believed JRM was going to stand, though he'd be doing his best to dissuade him. Baker is Suella Braverman's Campaign Manager, by the way

    £2 Price Cap on fares in England - Now extended beyond October 2023

    Apologies, I got the wrong end of the stick.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Is there a particular reason why it has not been used yet? The weather would appear to be ideal, including in the forecast. My Mousehole friend is getting suspicious that I was winding her up bigtime in mentioning it a few times over the last weeks. I'm even beginning to think myself that an...

    £2 Price Cap on fares in England - Now extended beyond October 2023

    Not sure what you mean by 'unsustainable', a word that increasingly means whatever the user chooses. With a daily cap of £4 on bus use in London, and scrapping the 'hopper fare', virtually no regular users need be lost, so the excuse to further reduce routes wouldn't' be there. That is not to...

    £2 Price Cap on fares in England - Now extended beyond October 2023

    In total agreement with that. Is there any other country with still significant levels of public transport by bus that is perpetually obsessed by the fare structure, and gets nowhere near to ever resolving it? London got nearest to resolving it before George Osborne decided it had to suffer for...

    £2 Price Cap on fares in England - Now extended beyond October 2023

    It is an ill-thought-through soundbite masquerading as a policy, with absolutely no detail as to how it's to be put into practice. Grant Shapps needs to focus on doing the job he's being paid fabulously for and stop crawling round with his tongue out in the vicinity of the PM's nether regions.

    Longest bus route in England?

    The 122 from Gravesend to Brighton was jointly operated by Southdown and Maidstone and District from 1948 to 1970, and buses worked through, with a Southdown bus stabling overnight in Gravesend every 48 hours, similarly a M&D bus at Brighton. The one bus M&D Borough Green depot allocation was...
