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

Monkeypox isn’t a new disease. The treatment for smallpox works on it as well. 
 

It’s also not as transmittable as airborne viruses and the number of cases is quite small so contacts should be easily traceable. 
 

Mass hysteria sells newspapers and generates online clicks. Don’t think there’s any need to panic about this one. 

Reading profiles of the virus means I'm not necessarily as worried as I was when I first heard about this spread. But maybe in retrospect it's worth pondering if the rush to re-open post covid might lead to something peculiar like this, given this is one of the first major outbreaks of it outside Africa.

Maybe it's just Gaia.

"The Sue Gray report, when published this week, will - I understand - contain photos of the Downing St photos. The stakes for PM and Cabinet Sec Case very high indeed"

Peston is such a wind up, honestly, what a bore. Is there anyone in the universe other than Peston who really thinks her report will do harm to Johnson?

I think it will do harm, the whole partygate thing has damaged him, no doubt, maybe not with his own MPs, but with voters.

The Mail going after Sue Gray now...

Why is Boris Johnson so integral to the survival of the human race that these people defend him and criticise everyone else so much?

My grump with Peston was that he was implying with his 'high stakes for PM' comment that the Gray report was likely to topple him. But, yeah, he's fucked with the voters, can't see him coming back from this, can't see how 'I'm shit, but I'm as shit as everyone else' is a strategy that helps him at the ballot box.

      2027 Headliners

      By mufcok · Posted

      It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
