Gulf War 1, Dubya told us 'Patriot is 42 for 43'.

1100 or so miles, so not the swiftest of drones.
I don't think I've seen the speed of Shahed drones.

Nothing I have tried has ever encouraged a tin of shoe polish to germinate, let alone flower.

There is too much politics as showbusiness. Each day Starmer doesn't announce any policies the feral UK press seeks sensationalism elsewhere, and with this (mal)administartion they find it, as the various factions of the Conservative and (dis-)Unionists jockey for the entrails of a party that polls continue to suggest will be eviscerated after the coming General Election.

The Labour party is in full campaign mode for the May Local Elections, don't expect any national policy reveals before the forthcoming humiliation of Tory candidates in your ward and for the Mayor of London.

An elected Upper House should not be a retirement home for failed or time expired politicians.
Most MPs who are made peers have no track record of pioneering legislation, subject matter knowledge, or professional qualifications. There could/should be a limit of the number of ex-MPs allowed to be Upper House members, say 30%.
A single 7-year in the Upper House would negate any considerations about re-electability.

Nick Clegg got out-manouvred by his Tory coalition 'partners'. The option we were allowed to vote on would have given elected members of the revised Upper House 15 year terms. The revised Upper House was never meant to be a retirement home for failed/aged politicians.

As an environmentalist, I have to accept that the Green candidate is (currently) not going to be elected Mayor of London. Boosting the votes total for the Mayoral candidate hopefully suggests to those wavering to vote Green for the London-wide Assembly members.

Johnson administration reverted to FPTP the try and negate tactical voting,
i.e., Green then Labour.

I don't think I've ever previously seen an election go backwards,
to a less progressive voting system, like this before

Happy to see No. 20 re-used.

Not in a Sid James way.

Has anyone mislaid a consistent headwind?

Even full battery powered vehicles do have a gear box as current generation electric motors spin at around 18000 rpm.
There is a reduction gear box that transmits power through drive shafts to the wheels.

Anyone 'on here' from the West Midlands?
Are Labour likely to oust Andy Street?

I thought the current Tory continuum had already frozen the Fuel Duty Escalator for several/many years?

Enough with the legal update.
What the forum demands to know: What did you wear?

Odd that all these anti-ULEZ protesters fail to realise they are already paying per mile to the Oil companies that supply petrol or diesel.

Toolstation item 81741 is indicative.
Potentially 8 1/2 inches in length.

Your 'gulls' are Terns.

Another day, another bad headline for Thames Water

How wet has it been?

Yeah, the blue hexagon on the western edge is likely Uxbridge & South Ruislip. The pre-boundary change seat of Uxbridge never went red under Blair/New Labour.

Correction, it is Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner.
