The PM is up in Blair's Old Constituency
thanking the local team that got more seats
for the Conservatives.

He seems Very Positive/

I can't watch anything ... my interest is zero, it's not sour grapes it's fear, I don't want to know what's coming next.

Thumbs down

Trends suggest that the number of people reported to be seeking help for homelessness has been reasonably stable in the UK since around 2013.

The reasons cited for loss of previous home are broadly consistent across UK countries and are primarily changing relationships or disputes within households.

Estimates for rough sleeping based on street counts suggest numbers are increasing in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but estimates based on homelessness applications suggest numbers are decreasing in Scotland. Though the most recent figure for England shows a small decrease from 2017 to 2018


Analysts across the Government Statistical Service (GSS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are working together to improve the coherence and accessibility of all housing and planning statistics, including homelessness.

There is a wide range of improvements and innovations underway and the challenge is to continue acknowledging the devolved nature of the statistics, and corresponding policy frameworks, while improving coherence where possible to provide a UK picture.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat...ess/2005to2018


so lets not use the homeless as a political football because your team did not win?

He speaks of healing and uniting but that means shutting up and bending a knee to the Tories and they can get ****ed. There will be no healing or forgiveness and there will be no silencing of criticism towards Tory MPs and voters.

Tory voters cannot take back what they've done and I will treat every one of them with nothing less than the utter disdain they deserve.

Great article by Richard Littlejohn:

They wanted a second People's Vote... and they got the one they deserved

This wasn't just a defiant reaffirmation of the EU referendum result, it was a
damning repudiation of those who have spent the past three and a half years
trying to Stop Brexit.

It also served as a timely reminder that there is life outside the Westminster
bubble, that social media is not the real world.

As late as Thursday lunchtime, political commentators were confidently
predicting a hung parliament on the evidence of a handful of photos on
Twitter showing a few dozen young people queueing at polling stations in
London.

Like children chasing a football round a school playground, they all rushed to
follow the herd.

The Corbynistas were crushed. The self-deluding Remain Alliance, which
thought it could bully the British people into reversing the referendum result,
was routed.

This time it was personal. This time they were on the ballot. They had
everything to lose. And lose they did, on a spectacular scale. They didn't just
lose a referendum, they lost their jobs. They had it coming.


Grieve, Gauke, Soubry Loo and the rest were all sent packing. Not a single
one of the turncoat Tory MPs who rebelled against their own government over
Brexit managed to retain their seats.


Nor did any of those who resigned the Labour whip to join Change UK or the
Lib Dems, Chucky Umunna included. What an ignominious downfall for the
man dubbed (by himself, probably) Britain's Barack Obama.

People have developed a talent over countless generations, it's called speech and from it, a bunch of different languages have blossomed into existence.

I've already turned my back on a number of now former friends who have admitted to voting Tory and I'll gladly cast out anyone else who admits the same. I will not be civil to people who vote against my rights.

Little John is a arch arsehole.

Let him stand as an independent and see if he wins in the current system.
