East Wiltshire constituents should try to get a 2015 Act changed. At present they can't do anything about Kruger's defection to Reform. Reason for Kruger not seeking a by election? He'd lose in a seat where Reform came a distant 4th in the general election.

Yes, Dan. But it's OK to say Liverpool have been very good AND to think it's been a poor-quality League this season. Oh, and Liverpool HAVE been lucky to get so many penalties.

If Trump had been president in 1945 you reckon he would have said the Allies started WW2 and that Hitler should negotiate the peace.

Wonderfully misleading headline in the Daily Telegraph today: Labour drove Wales into the ground - now Nigel Farage has his chance.

I call it an elevator, but my British friend calls it a lift.

I guess we were just raised differently.

Professor Alexis Jay said that starting a new inquiry could hinder the implementation of the recommendations from her 2022 report.
"We have set out what action is required and people should just get on with it," she told the BBC.
She added: "I've certainly been very unhappy about the politicisation of child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse in the way that many people, sometimes in a very uninformed way, have waded into the argument."
