A lot of people are protesting this post by saying "Abdul is a real talent, it's just that his own party is fighting him"
Guys, I hate to break the bad news, but if you can't consolidate your own party's support you're not actually a major political talent.
Thank God! I walked round Oxford Street trying to find a present for a colleague the other week & it was hands down the most stressful hour I’d experienced for *quite some time*
People—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—clamoring to support the Peltolas and Coopers is actually a validation of their candidate quality!
It’s good to have candidates people want to associate with and that should be a factor when assessing candidate quality!
I'm so excited to have been re-selected to stand for Parliament representing Harpenden, Berkhamsted, Tring, Redbourn, Wheathampstead, Flamstead, Markyate, Wheathampstead and our wonderful villages and communities. It's been the biggest privilege of my life to be the MP for this new constituency.
Since being elected, we've helped constituents with almost 25,000 personal and political issues, sent over 76,000 emails and letters to and on behalf of constituents, and I've participated in over 1,200 debates, questions, and speeches in the House of Commons. I've been nominated as one of the top 20 most active MPs in Parliament for two years and, most importantly, worked with fantastic people in the community, making a difference every day.
Thank you to all of you and what you do for our area. From national issues to local challenges, I will keep fighting together, and raising your issues week in, week out.
On this day 16 years ago.. The Sarah Jane Adventures episode Death of the Doctor: Part One first aired on CBBC! and Jo Grant (now Jo Jones) returned! and then was reunited with The Doctor! #SJA#DoctorWho ✨
@jhallwood Nah that makes total sense. I always teach kids to do addition in place value order because it means you do the tricky bit of crossing ten first.
@PushTheSutton I think it makes a lot of sense to go early. Get a mandate for change - stops Reform or the Tories coalescing the right.
I just don't know if I can do another December election.
Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."
I do challenge the advice about stockpiling Sauvignon blanc.
Surely better to stockpile a red - because if the power goes down, the white would be room temperature, which would be simply ghastly.
