He'll mean my next-door MP and occasional parkrun competitor Heidi Alexander, it's been on the grapevine since last month: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/25/heidi-alexander-thought-to-be-considering-role-at-london-city-hall

Aye, I think poor expectations management from Labour has helped the Tories paint their results as a relative win. The overarching message is still broadly "everyone's shite and we don't like politicians", so no one needs to be getting cocky about anything, quite frankly.

Unfortunately he also wants a hard Brexit that'll render his fiscal plans impossible.

The loony left insurgency has made it perfectly clear they'll work to get anyone deselected if they dare to step out of line. Understandable that lots of MPs would try and ride it out and see if the madness passes eventually rather than lining up to eagerly write their own death warrant. What a rabble the political class is right now though, on all sides.

I'll see if I can get a comment from the candidates for Ward/Area Name.

My dad's a liberal, he'd beat him up compassionately.

Just got a "Good morning! Today is election day" leaflet through from Labour. Apparently they're so confident round this way that they'll happily send people to the polling station on the wrong day.

I am delighted. This improves my dad's chances of victory no end.

No but what you don't understand is that my dad could beat up your dad

Ilford Tories with a power stance all of their own

I'll resist the temptation to pass on that feedback.

As if I'd do that to you. (It'd be Lemonparty.)

It's mostly this kind of racket. And how did I forget to mention country music?! Yee-bloody-haw.

I suppose my main ones would be running (not to any particular standard, but I like accumulating new parkrun venues and nerdily tracking my runs on Strava) and blogging about/betting on/blogging about betting on Europe's finest televised music competition. But apparently I already mentioned the latter back on page 1, a mere decade and a bit ago. I also still play in a band of sorts with two lads from school, albeit we get together once a year to record vocals and everything else is done online these days because we live in different parts of the country and that.

Ah right. So they're just not lined up properly before being attached. Fair enough, looks like every DIY job I turn my hand to.

The fucking "power stance" man.

Daft question but are the pallets in those pictures actually attached to each other in any way? They look like they'd slide off as soon as you sat on them.

A little less Kathmandu, a little more Waitrose. Shame really, although probably inevitable.
