Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

Pippa Crerar been tweeting about this...for this one he may be innocent...

 

As others have suggested, does it really matter if Boris gets fined here? The salient information is that fines have been issued for a party in his garden. It was an illegal event. Even if he didn't technically break the law by attending. Others did and he was there, he had the power to stop it but didn't. He's either lying* about thinking it was a work event or he's telling the truth and he's grossly incompetent.

I wonder if we'll end up seeing any of those warnings Dom Cum talked about?

*definitely was lying.

I would say it does matter...in that if had got another fine it would definitely be news and would put more pressure on him and for MPs to kick him out.

I suppose you're right in the short term. But when all is said and done and all the investigations are over there'll be a list of (illegal) parties for which fines were issued and the PM will have attended a good chunk of them.

yeah...I guess it will all be ammunition for opposition parties in any future election.

Speaking of ammunition, can the Tories sink any lower….

Gove if not the Spaffer in Chief. 
 

I doubt they will have been searching for porn but will probably have been sent some dodgy vid on WhatsApp but still dodgy as hell which could apply to any of the front bench.

Ben Wallace does not like being questioned about the behaviour of MPs at all. When Naga on the BBC asked about the porn watcher, he said something about John Prescott’s Christmas party (!) and then tried to throw it back about the behaviour at the BBC.

      Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it.

      Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.

      A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good.

      What telly progs are you bingeing on?

      I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
