Monday, debate the report followed by a free vote. The process has to run it's course because the report is a matter of Parliamentary record and precedent is set if it is accepted, by which future actions can be measured.

Go to Oxbridge, study PPE, out of Uni get a job in an MP's office. First 3 steps on the road...... What is amusing is newly elected local councillors that think they have any power whatsoever.

Standing room only.

With a majority from his own party.

That tie knot is far from being tight enough.

It is important to remember that this report is not about alleged breaking of COVID lockdown rules, but about repeated instances of contempt of Parliament, which the HoC sees as one of the most egregious crimes that can be committed.

Indeed. But this has been an issue for decades - if the Argies had waited a year to invade the Falkland Islands, we might not have been able to assemble a task force to retake them.

How much has the US got stockpiled around the World ?

Perhaps they are unwilling to commit after the sinking of the Moskva.

If you want to quote random, out of context, figures, how about comparing Bank base rates and inflation rates ? UK 4.5% and 8.1%, Germany 2.36% and 6.1%. Which figures affect people's day to day lives more ?

At least one of the Leo's has been recovered and is already back in service. The best place I know of for verifying equipment losses is https://www.oryxspioenkop.com which gives visually confirmed and geo-located losses from both sides. Currently Oryx has 2 Leopards destroyed and 2 abandoned, the first of those listed as abandoned is, I believe, the one that was recovered and repaired. There is a video, which the BBC published, showing Russian troops walking around a Leopard and a few Bradleys left behind by a failed Ukrainian reconnaissance. Some sources report that the Russians were promptly chased away and some of the equipment recovered.

I wasn't making a point about the Ukrainian attack, it is the BBC's self righteousness in implying they are working to verify Putin's claims, when anybody with half a brain cell knows that both sides undersell their own losses and overstate their opponent's - even WE did that during WW2. Edit: presumably the BBC verified their news feeds before 21st March this year but without publicising the process - why do they now feel the need to insert this statement into every item they now publish ?

I think, Ziggee, you have been taking too much Stardust.

Putin speaking bollocks yesterday about the Ukrainian offensive, the BBC says it has not yet been able to verify his statements. Good luck with that. Here's a clue; the man is a megalomaniac and compulsive liar.

From it's starting position in referring the the 2 "republics" it is hardly taking a neutral position. A 'neutral' position might perhaps call them 'disputed territory', but as only Russia has recognised their autonomy, referring to them as such is supporting the Russian narrative.

The chap coming in his wagon to collect the skip off next door's drive at 6 in the morning.

As pointed out in the comments; The dam could not become "Ukraine's Chernobyl"....... Chernobyl is Ukraine's Chernobyl.

As previously posted, the difference between negative 0.1% and positive 0.1% is hardly something that can be claimed as a rousing vindication, and may be even less significant once rounding errors are factored in.

Argue in public, make up in private.

Is the UK at war ? Mind you, you would be safe, they stopped recruiting 12 year olds as drummer boys 200 years ago.

Take it up with Moggy, it is his delusion.

It only mentions 'humanity', nothing about badgers. And to be honest, it doesn't actually give the doomsday timetable for humanity's demise - maybe nuclear war, or even the sun going supernova, will beat CC to it.

Watched a video last night of Moggy on GBeebies saying that we should ignore net-zero and continue to use gas as much as possible because reliance on electricity for all our future energy needs is a risk. This is because of the potential for the more violent adverse weather due to CC to bring down power lines and disrupt transmission infrastructure, thereby cutting off electricity supplies - whilst gas is transmitted under the ground and is therefore resistant to the impact of storms.

In his resignation letter Boris starts by saying the Committee were intent on forcing him out of Parliament, which is bollocks as it would have required a vote in the HoC to do that. He then goes on to say he has "been an MP since 2001", which is a lie as he served 2 terms as Mayor of London, and had to resign as an MP to take up that position. And that's just the first few sentences.
