How many people do you think get married in the principal Catholic church in the UK having been divorced twice ?

A good article, even if written by a Tyke.

Henry's first divorce was negotiated with the Papacy, it being a Catholic marriage. Subsequently, as you are well aware, he took the expedient path of setting himself up as the head of a new Church, because he knew the Pope would not acquiesce with further annulments.

No idea. However, it hardly helps with the concept of bypassing procurement channels to speed things up if an order has to be rejected and re-tendered, does it. Why not do it correctly in the first place, via the built in channels for expedient or urgent procurement embedded in the existing official procedures and processes ?

Sloppy seconds ?

1) No. 2) How long does everybody give it ? 3) According to the Catholic Church this is his first marriage as, because he was baptised into the Catholic faith, marriages enacted outside that faith, that is both his previous ones, are conveniently ruled " non-canonical" and didn't take place.

One story in the Daily Mail says that one of the contracts to Priti's pal cost twice what it should have done. Then there were the earlier stories of PPE contracts being awarded without proper scrutiny or control to Ministers' mates, and the end products varying from sub-standard to unuseable.

The idea that DT was/is capable of original thought is only matched by the possibility of GM acheiving the same.

I always wonder when a US security agency releases information they obtained through 'intelligence'. It seems an oxymoron.

Why didn't DC tell the 'security' story firat time around ? He would probably have got a lot of sympathy. The BS that he and BoJo came up with as a cover story was obviously bollox, and the consequent bad press and public vitriuol was entirely self-inflicted. ( Unless, of course, the current line is just another fairy story ).

Where's the contradiction ? Cummings out of 'power' undermining BoJo is win-win.

What if they know that the allegations cannot be refuted ?

How's this for fan stupidity ? https://www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/unseen-footage-shows-giro-fans-chasing-egan-bernal-with-chainsaws-video/

Been getting a lot of (500 error ) "Too many connnections" for the last few days.

Hancock is before the joint committee in 2 weeks time.

2 black men out of 7 men in total would be the correct representative proportion.

Cummings trying to throw Hancock under a bus ? ""I blame myself for many, many, many things in this whole crisis," Cummings replies, "I said repeatedly from February/March, if we don't fire the Secretary of State [Matt Hancock]... we are going to kill people and it is going to be a catastrophe."" "He quotes Boris Johnson as saying 'Hancock told us in the cabinet room that people were going to be tested before they went back to care homes. What the hell happened?' Cummings said they "were told categorically in March that people would be tested" but he says despite the government rhetoric of putting a shield around care homes it "was complete nonsense" and quite the opposite happened." "Labour's Graham Stringer asks why Matt Hancock is still the health secretary and why the PM didn't take Cummings' advice to fire him? Cummings says Boris Johnson came close to "removing him" in April 2020 but held back. He says he can't speculate as to why he held on to him because "there was certainly no good reason" to do so." "He says he told the PM he wasn't prepared to work with Matt Hancock any more but the PM admitted he was more frightened of Cummings having the power to make changes than taking the action he wanted."

Dominic Cummins is currently being questioned by a Parliamentary committee; "Cummings says the crisis raises profound questions about a political system that gives people a choice between Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson. He says any system that gives a choice between two people like that is obviously a system that has gone "terribly wrong"." "Cummings says an investigation from the cabinet secretary later revealed Mr Hancock's claims to be "completely untrue" - with the cabinet secretary also saying he had lost confidence in Mr Hancock's ability to be truthful during cabinet meetings."
