As a Bristol resident, I can confirm that the St. George area full of gestating mothers-to-be is increasingly inundated with ex-Londoners who moved to Bristol and price the locals out of the housing market. Tory status of babies tbc, would't be shocked.

I look forward to more property-smug London evacuees writing pieces in the Graun, with a murderously smug pic in their huge designer kitchen: "now we can afford two cleaners and a private tutor with the money we've saved and it's a great location".

They've already covered the ones who have friends with empty flats they can lend them gratis whilst they renovate their hugely expensive home or do some planning for a wellness journey of self-discovery up their up own rectum.

lol *secret* plans of sending irrelevant fringe royals to Scotland to promote the union is it. It's absolute nonce-sense, his brother Andrew has much greater public recognition. Edward's only famous moment of note in the last two decades was a fictional version of him saying "cunty". That the addled minds in govt are even putting this out this risible proposition has a pure fuhrerbunker desperation to it.

Focus groups have revealed most people's respect for royalty would increase if they murdered people in cold blood with their own hands like int old days. So a royal death match where the prize is some grandiloquent sounding Scottish title could be a winner.

Yes, we haven't a ding dong between England and Scotland over royal succession for far too long. Time for a Jacobite revival!

Boris Johnson is planning to reverse controversial reforms of the NHS in England, a leaked document reveals.

The changes would see a reduced role for the private sector, while a system of contracts being put out to tender, with health groups sometimes competing against each other, would be scrapped.

The draft policy paper also says the health secretary would take more direct control over NHS England.

It would sweep away reforms introduced by David Cameron's government in 2012.

Can't wait to be disappointed by what this really is (my guess is removing "bureaucracy" i.e. regulatory oversight from contract awards.

"Lord Walney" how convenient that a confirmed sex pest is referred to by his title rather than the name he was known for as a Labour MP.

calzino, Monday, 8 February 2021 09:11 (three years ago) link

why would the left bother hijacking an apolitical movement like ER?

Woodcock was nominated for a life peerage in the 2019 Dissolution Honours, along with four other former Labour MPs who had backed Johnson's Brexit deal or endorsed the Conservatives in the election. He was created Baron Walney, of the Isle of Walney in the County of Cumbria and will sit as a non-affiliated life peer.[36]

The dissolute honours for Brexiter sex pests, kicked upstairs as reward for successful political infiltration.

Tbf this makes him the ideal candidate to investigate creeping (and) radicalisation

Scampi reggae party (Noodle Vague), Monday, 8 February 2021 10:00 (three years ago) link

even the CuKs wouldn't touch Woodcock with a bargepole and iirc at the time he was making noises like he wanted to join them.
