@DannyVet MP swaps party = by-election. Party changes leader = general election. Cap to individual donations and none from abroad.

[Trev Clark's Obscure Aviation History 🚁 @clark_aviation]

Until the final months of WW2, escaping from the rear rurret of an Avro Lancaster was tricky, to say the least. With the introduction of this Rose turret, the gunner could escape over the top of his two . 50 inch Browning machine guns. It was a bit 'exposed' in normal use though!

TV news, in trying to find a reason for the apparently baffling fact that we’ve had so many PMs in such a short time - why, that is, we have only one type of politics now - that of outrage, leading inexorably to endless and repetitive political cancellation - can’t bring itself, I note, to even mention the words: social media.
