Looks like he walked anyway. At least he had the decency to do that and I guess Starmer must have given him the chance. Fair doos.

BBC at scene where Russian general was shot in Moscow Russia editor Steve Rosenberg reports from the outskirts of the Russian capital, where Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev was shot and wounded.

I see they drive Ford transit vans in Russia these days. Sanctions working then? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

It's the Heller Massey Ferguson kit. Really enjoyed the build and want build it again properly as nature intended. Nice kit, builds very quickly and looks the business. 1:24 scale.

Totally out of modelling character for my usual builds, I did indeed build a tractor myself the other week. It's for a film project, hence why it deviates from the kit massively. I wish I'd got the wheels more like yours, but I had only hours to build it and fine detail wasn't required.

๐ŸšจBOOM! Now over 90,000 signatures!

The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed.

Letโ€™s keep going!

This makes no senseโ€ฆ

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifestoโ€ฆ

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

Sign the petition & help make that law.

Delighted another march is taking place. The stupidity of Brexit becomes more apparent by the day as we are cut off from our allies and face a very slow economy.

There are no Brexit benefits and never will be.

You canโ€™t get the Brexit people voted for because it doesnโ€™t exist. It was a con. A prejudiced, arrogant fantasy created by a cynical campaign of dishonesty.

This is however the relentless, tedious Brexit reality. An ongoing national scandal. A betrayal of a country by its politicians and media.

Ah, cool. Very useful for grid balancing but not massive outputs. All adds to the mix I guess.
Minded to think Scotland could have many more hydro stations and be a little like Norway. Anything proposed?

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Go wind! Got to be some benefit from this storm?

Where does our hydro come from? Is it only pumped storage from Dinorwig in Wales? (An excellent way of meeting brief high demand, but an overall net user of power?) Do we have any other hydro?

It is at least acknowledging there's a Brexit elephant in the room, but he's doing little more than naming its owner and painting its nails.

I don't dislike Starmer as a person, quite the opposite, but he's so lacklustre. Deal with the inherent problem.
