This is what you still do on a Saturday night? I know it's cold out but pls go touch grass  x

Aren’t you doing the same with this post? What people want to do with their free time is none of your business.

Tom tbh reading your posts today you seem to be on a high horse too … chill a little … you have a different view but arguing this at 9pm on a sat night seems a little counter productive . You won’t achieve anything by falling out with people 

Careful CF, you’ll be getting accused of being a bully soon enough

These stories about Nus Ghani are just horrible.

You have an awful lot of free time.

This thread is so depressing. Is there any way for people to discuss politics without constantly getting personal and sniping at each other? I would have thought so, but this seems to be going the way of the Covid thread.

So? I suggest my free time and what I do with it is none of your business. You also know nothing about my life and the potential impacts of comments like those about my ‘free time’ so I suggest you focus on your business and keep your nose out of others.

Red Ed was spot on again. Also look how young he looks, he’s practically a baby here!

Ok can we call a truce to hostilities here … achieves absolutely nothing and is completely pointless .  .anything in the Sunday papers of interest ?

I think there often is decent discussions on here but I think it’s pretty hard when every second post is from ozanne who usually posts some drivel about how great starmer is. 
 

Occasionally people will bite and call him out on it and then they’ll be accused of bullying. Rinse and repeat every couple months.

Looks like the answer is no then.

Can you get back on topic please. No one wants you cluttering the thread with personal shots. Have a good day, thanks.

Was there some talk about Tuesday? Or was that something else?

They are talking about Thursday.

Seems like it has been delayed because there is more to investigate than they first thought.

Ah okay, must have got mixed up then. Will be interesting to see how he is at PMQs. Last two weeks have been quite entertaining.

Handed to Johnson on Wed but released on Thursday so he has a chance to figure out the spin and doesn’t have to deal with PMQS

Ok so maybe some other breaking news before that to put Boris on the back foot for Pmqs . Definately wouldn’t want to be sue gray right now

It’ll be the same I reckon. Every answer will be “wait for the result of the inquiry” etc.

[Zoo Music Girl]

It definitely feels like the whole thing is losing momentum a bit. Could do with another bombshell dropping or something.

i explain it by the number of labour voters who spent their time slagging him off(more than those people did the tories).

I guess Sue Gray has to be ultra thorough for this reason.

If the report comes out followed by another revelation in the news which she hasn’t covered, then it completely undermines the whole thing, the government, the process.
