If you mean waiting for a flight it’s work sunshine, not pleasure. How you doing with the other points? Thought not.
So how is it ‘beyond his pay grade’, if the business is funding your flight? You can’t be that important as flights wait for important people… not the other way around.
That wasn’t a reference to his flight.

Remember Carlo is very keen on claiming others struggle to grasp simple concepts. Not sure why the guy is so keen on having his arse handed to him so regularly. Is it some sort of masochistic thing Carly lad?

Do any of the other papers care this morning?

Shame on them for bias by omission. It looks like you think that's a good thing when something crops up you'd rather was kept quiet?

Have they noticed that Lammy has joined the Tories at Ofcom ( i.e. in trouble, no verdict yet on Lammy).

Ofcom has launched an investigation into David Lammy’s show on LBC: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/david-la...

There have been some odd posts on the Rayner thread, I thought there’d been some development but can’t find anything of substance. She’s the new Megan for the usual suspects and rags like the DM.
Rags like The Mirror and Guardian don't seem keen, no bias there either obviously. Beeb website just picked up Lammy.

Fair that they look into Lammy's LBC show.

I'm not clear on any regulatory distinction between LBC and GB News in how they can or can't have politicians hosting shows so it'll be beneficial all round if this helps clarify things.

Even by your standards that’s an odd one, usually your late night/ early morning posts are the trippy ones, have you started early or are you on a 24 hour one? I’m now on my flight, but what on earth are you talking about?

My point was that, from what I can glean, there’s been no new development in the story, but happy to be corrected.

Projects emotion onto someone in order to goad.
Repeats a line, in order to goad.
Designates themselves judge, jury & executioner.

What a lovely chap.

The pinnacle of irony.

I don’t think the Conservatives are going to get the traction they are hoping for with the Raynor thing. Badly advised, as ever.

You tell me. I think you were trying to be ironic and condescending in your post. Perhaps if you were nicer you’d get whatever point you wanted to make…across.

Oh dear, I’m not angry about anything today, apart from my Vancouver flight being delayed. Though I know it’s beyond your pay grade, if you read what I wrote and try to understand it this time, you’ll realise (possibly) that I’m not angry about cake.
…but don’t let me disturb you on the flight, you’re clearly very important smile

What’s it got to do with the Tories?

Well, it’s something that the Conservative client press are trying to fly. I understand, I’d do it if I were them. And, no doubt, Rayner has questions to answer.

But I’m not sure it’s really making any difference. It’s not serious enough.

They are literally the ones who went to the Police and went back to the Police when the Police said they were satisfied there was nothing for them to look into.

Labour party suspend Scottish Labour candidate.
Suspended for wearing a red jacket rather than the required blue without permission and trying to ensnare Sir Keir in a honeytrap
I may have made the last bit up

Listen mate I think we are flogging a dead horse here. The Sunak thread gets ongoing posts. Poor Sir Keirs gets scant few. It's almost as if people are not that interested in Sir Keir.

Getting rid of leasehold, but with properly drafted legislation rather than some lash-up thrown together to meet an arbitrary schedule? Predatory use of leasehold is a chronic problem, not an acute problem.
