  1. And to supplement this, if they don't then the checks will likely just move to mainland Europe and it will be French and Spanish controls checking Irish lorries. Which is probably a worse look for the Irish Government.
  2. Fun fact: if James Milner plays on Saturday then he will have featured in each of Leeds' last 31 Premier League matches. Just with a 16 year gap between the 30th and 31st.
  3. He's the Prime Minister, how hard can it possibly be for him to get a suit that fits?
  4. I admire your patience.
  5. The withdrawal agreement was implemented. It is current UK law. The noise today is about changing the law because they've decided they don't like the thing they agreed last time.
  6. It may have changed since my experience at one, but when I went your booking reference is written on the envelope with your swab which you return to them, and that is how they know whose test is whose. And how they contact you with the result. So if you haven't booked, you won't be in the database to receive the result of the test. There would just be a random test floating around with no identifier.
  7. Yes, that's what those emergency Covid powers were intended for. Hopefully they're all being built in front of the houses of the dickbags that voted them into office.
  8. In reality, it’s not sixty - it's more like two or three. And even then with some pretty brutal lending requirements.
  9. While I'm pretty sure that the analysis is sound on a "making things work smoothly" level, surely the broader problem is that Labour (and everyone else) is having to play a different game on a different pitch. It's pretty clear that someone in the SNP (probably around July 2016) realised that to get what you want is to let the other side argue politics and policy, while you hammer away at the emotional message. So for every wavering voter who is convinced by a line-by-line reading of education policy, there will be four convinced by "but at least it's no the bastards in Westminster screwin' it up, eh?" Until Labour (and others) can find an emotional reason for unionism to counter the emotional reason for nationalism then the nuances between different levels of possible devolution aren't really going to win their voters back.
  10. All perfectly healthy and normal. But on the other hand, Biden once used a split-infinitive, so...
  11. "He's succesfully worked with the security services and prosecuted terrorists, what have you done?"
  12. New Conservative party logo following their latest rebrand.
  13. Not if historically a larger chunk of the fifty seats to go voted for you. And a larger chunk of the 600 remaining didn't.
  14. Wasn't the second part pretty much shot in the head around March 2018? There's been nothing to ebb away since then.
  15. It has been an eyebrow-raisingly sharp pivot from some people from "let the markets decide, business needs to innovative or die, cut unnecessary taxes and regulation to help business adapt and thrive" to "NO, NOT LIKE THAT!"
  16. The whoppers are way ahead of you. His fortune being in commercial property is completely coincidental though I'm sure.

    I didn’t suggest that we did.
