"Most of the problem was going to happen anyway due to other factors which mankind can do nothing about."
Thats an interesting cmment, can you expand on that?
the Earth is drifting closer to the Sun each year and some have argued that's one major reason for global warming.
So whats this about?

Anyway, meanwhile, back at the ranch - Tory majority now 1.4 from, was it 1.55?
Problem is with all this stuff, its one persons view on whats happening, you will find someone else saying the complete opposite.

But he does say the following in the article being.....

"We're closer to the Sun, this year, than we'll ever be again. This is true for every planet around every established star in the Universe, too, giving us one more reason to appreciate all that we have today."

I thought that was something Dominic Cummings said.

The Earth does 'drift' closer to the Sun - for six months of the year, but then 'drifts' back for the remaining six months!

Seems Gove turned up for the Channel 4 Climate debate, but was rejected becuase he wasn't the party leader.

Many of the seats have terrible liquidity, but there's quite a bit of value around, even on safe seats

There are plenty of seats that wouldn't change hands, even if Rolf Harris was the candidate, knocking on doors with his didgeridoo "can you see what it is yet?"

A surprisingly balanced profile of Farage on the BBC:

Nigel Farage: The story of 'Mr Brexit'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50565543

He used to be a commodities trader (gold I think it was). What a guy!

It just seems incomprehensible to me that a market of 63 million can negotiate better deals than a market of 500 million.
Thats not how capitalism works? Shirley?
Well the negotiations for the 500 million need to provide for the 500 million whereas the negotiations for the 63 million can concentrate on the needs of the 63 million.

And who is "Shirley"? :lol: :lol: :lol:
