I think I'm with Dennis Potter on that rag they call the Sun.
SHOOT MURDOCH.
It's barely a single century ago that the first woman voted in the UK.
Jezza appears to be playing it cool whilst allowing the Prime Minister to dig his own grave.
Blimey if only such a scoundrel were our chief negotiator......

Without wishing to labour the point, any caution advised should be also taken with a pinch of - it was a crude way of making the point that anyone thinking that way must be either a dimwit or a player - everyone has redeeming qualities.Actually at most of our social occasions, because my friends tend to be very interesting people with lots going on in their lives, the conversation is usually extremely lively without veering off into politics.
I can't access it at the moment but if some is able to place the front page of today's Sun English edition, next to today's Sun, Scottish edition, it goes a small way to explaining at least a teeny bit of our cynicism
Completely unbiased though.

A technical approach to the Northern Ireland border issue seems to have been secretly trialled.

RTÉ News said - A nuclear-powered Royal Navy submarine has been involved in a near-miss with a ferry.
An investigation has been opened into the previously unreported incident, which occurred in the Irish Sea on 6 November.
The ferry was Stena Superfast VII, which operates between Northern Ireland and Scotland.
It has a capacity for 1,300 passengers and 660 cars.
The submarine was submerged at the depth needed to extend its periscope above the surface of the water.
The Royal Navy would not confirm which of its ten submarines was involved.
They are all nuclear-powered, but only four carry Trident nuclear missiles.
A spokesman for the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said: "In November, we were notified of a close-quarters incident between the ro-ro (roll-on/roll-off) ferry Stena Superfast VII and a submarine operating at periscope depth.
"We have carried out a preliminary assessment of the evidence in this case and the Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents has decided to open a safety investigation.
"The investigation is being conducted with the full co-operation of the Royal Navy. A report will be published when our investigation has concluded."
A navy spokesman said: "We can confirm the sighting of a Royal Navy submarine between Belfast and Stranraer on 6 November 2018.
"We are co-operating with the MAIB's investigation."

Breaking News...Make no mistake. This is a cull of Remainer Tory MPs and a move further to the right for the Tory party
