Plus your position of white privilege will go a lot further in the US as the divide is much greater.

it's true

On a tab on my browser I have a house that we're looking to view in NW England
On another tab I've got a job description open for a role in San Francisco. America may not be politically better but at least the weather is good

What is your obsession with Northern towns? Sheffield, Manchester, Wigan, San Francisco. Arctic Tundra on the cards? Svalbard with the armoured bears?

I'd rather be swallowed up by an earthquake than spend the next 30 years on misery island.

Are you in a fracking area right now? Option 1 could be a goer!

There we go! Whilst the country cries ot for some leadership and direction, we are bogged down in a debate as to whether Corbyn called May a 'stupid woman.'

You couldn't make it up!

That should make Corbyn's day...........and is likely to provoke an interesting by-election.

Labour MP Fiona Onasanya found guilty of perverting the course of justice

And the Press Association has snapped the news.

​

Former Labour whip Fiona Onasanya has been found guilty of perverting the course of justice following an Old Bailey retrial for lying to police to avoid a speeding charge.​

That means a byelection is likely in Peterborough, where Onasanya was elected in 2017 with a majority of just 607 over the Conservatives.

Thought the current cover of Private Eye nicely summed up what happened in PMQ's earlier.Life imitating art,indeed.

Could be a prison sentence.

Will be a prison sentence, perverting is always SERIOUS offence, doubly so by a person in a position of authority. What did Archer get for his lying to justice?
I am sure the Judge will be getting instruction on this.

The date the election is called (I know she hasn't yet resigned!) could be interesting.

Labour hold, increased majority.

You heard it here first.

Well, we all know the Labour Party is anti-semitic from top to bottom!

More seriously, is it just my age or is this gender business or political correctness getting a bit ridiculous. Would it be assumed equally offensive is May had been alleged to have called Corbyn a 'stupid man?'

It's irrelevant, no one cares really its just a distraction. Anything to get to Christmas recess without have to make any decisions.

Archer's case was different as his lies were effectively harmful to someone else. There was a LibDem MP and his wife (names escape me) - she took his driving offence and she did time, think he did too.

Tories being up in arms that they think Corbyn mouthed 'stupid woman' - I'm curious if it is common knowledge that 2 Tory MPs who were on long term suspensions for alleged sex offences were allowed to return to the fold on the day that Theresa May had her internal no confidence vote. Is that news to anyone?

Chris Huhne and his ex-wife, Vicky Pryce

Yes, I'd read about that with suitable disgust but no great surprise. I don't think it made the front page of the Sun, Mail or Express but to be fair it was reported in the Telegraph.
