@afneil Sounds like one of Private Eye's "Scenes You Seldom See" - someone arriving at the beach and checking the Government's "Beat the Heat" webpage.
@MrHarryCole There's a McDonalds at the point the roads that cross the Waterloo battlefield meet, behind what were Wellington's lines. If Napoleon had got there and been able to order himself a Royale with cheese, he'd have won the battle, and ABBA would have had to find another song.
@JohnRentoul@YouGov The Greens losing out to PC for disenchanted Labour voters who don't want to vote Reform.
There's maybe a lesson there for England - that it's more the negative side of Labour rather than the positive side of the Greens.

@ajcdeane I wonder how many MPs only voted for the bill because they knew the Lords would scrutinise it .... but would vote against if the bill were to return but without the prospect of it being scrutinised (using the Parliament Act).
@paulmasonnews I don't recall anyone asking or volunteering what the purpose of the form was or how it was processed - just that Robbins hadn't ever seen it (or presumably similar ones with green or amber boxes ticked). Is it just an internal UKSV form, indicating that there were issues?
@LeilaHormozi Similarly tossing a coin and it coming up heads is not luck. It's math.
If your probability of the coin coming up heads is 1/2 and you try 2 times, you have a 100% chance of success.
PM Starmer says that '"full due process" had been followed', but could it have been given that #Mandelson's appointment had been made and announced before the vetting process was complete?
