@Barrister7 I was going to pop into the local court in Galle, Sri Lanka a few years ago but my local guide was emphatic that this was a terrible idea and he literally wouldn't let me.

RT @AdamKirbyWoking: Britain is rudderless in a storm.
Democracy is the answer – time for *all* those responsible to face the wave of anger and a wind of change! #GeneralElectionNow

@gifford_head Oh gosh, yes that is a disappointing delay.

@gifford_head Your phone company should be able to block your old handset and assign your phone number to your new handset.

@jamesgraham @georgewpotter Essentially, a Netherlands scenario. A VVD and someone creates a D66?

RT @ALDC: Every river in England is now polluted beyond legal limits.
The Environment Agency rated only 14% of rivers as 'Good' in 2019.
The Conservatives are failing our environment.

@edaross Yes probably is.

Isn't the problem with "install Rishi" that >40 Tory MPs won't vote his way in Parliament and he won't be able to command a majority?
RT @RupertMyers: A plan for the Conservatives:
👨🏽 install Rishi
〽️ steady markets
🙊 stop infighting
🔫 help Ukraine win fast
🧠 govern maturely, drop culture war stuff
✅ focus on championing opportunity
❤️🩹 get long-term sick back to work
🔆 growth through relaxed planning, drug legalisation etc

@libdemlife Giving her own prescribed medicines to others when she is not a doctor sounds dangerous and possibly illegal.

There's going to be an election sooner not later.
Labour likely win a majority. Tories in disarray for years.
Lib Dems will welcome change, e.g. better NHS funding.
But *every* govt needs to face effective opposition and scrutiny.
It will be for Lib Dems to provide it.

RT @EdwardJDavey: The only way to restore credibility is for Kwasi Kwarteng to resign or be sacked. He has done enough damage and needs to go.
The Conservatives won't be easily forgiven for this disastrous experiment, playing fairytale economics with people’s lives.

This big brother approach should concern all liberals 👇
RT @Jonathan_Rowson: 1/2 Distressing experience @Tesco just now. 10.50pm near Chancery Lane tube after a work event I receive a text to get a sandwich for my son’s packed lunch tomorrow. I see a store, think I’m in luck, but I can only *enter* the store if I download the app & sign up to club card.

Brexit is and remains a disaster.
RT @SimonJonesNews: The boss of the Port of Dover tells MPs he’s concerned about new checks to enter the EU due to come into force next May: ‘We do not have a solution that’s going to work in a very busy ferry terminal’.

Well said. 👇
RT @timfarron: The Government continue to let water companies dump sewage into Britain's lakes and rivers.
If only Conservative MPs were as angry about this as they are about people campaigning against sewage.
The @LibDems won't stop campaigning until we see an end to this scandal.

I expect that in the UK most people nowadays would much prefer multi-party government rather than only one party in power.
RT @CanadianPolling: 'If you had to choose, would you rather have...'
Coalition Gov't Of More Than One Party: 55%
Gov't Where One Party Has Overall Majority: 45%
