Penny Mordaunt's incredible US trade trip has ended in triumph! With a "process memoranda of understanding with" ... er four states... epic stuff
"A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) records international commitments, but in a form and with wording which expresses an intention that it is not to be binding as a matter of international law."

The equivalent of bumping into the street and saying "we must do lunch sometime"

My daughter hasn't had a 13th birthday party... because we're in lockdown ...

Random question - does anyone know how much the fine is for travelling abroad with a GB sticker on your car instead of a 'UK' one? The government brought this weird and pointless law in back in September but I'm struggling to find how much the fine is.
Seems they were insistent on including NI in the sticker hence the 'UK' over GB thing.
Ah yes of course - depends on where you are driving to

Does this mean that Rodd Liddle can only understand the people he so frequently lambasts, if he first sits through an after dinner speech by one of them? Or does it only go one way?
People have always walked out on stuff. In the 90s I saw people walk out 'in disgust' at the in-yer-face plays of Ravenhill and Kane. In the 80s someone invited an ANC representative to my school and several right wing boys walked out on him... go back in time and you get same
In January 1969 students at Rutherford College of Technology disrupted and then walked out on a speech by racist Enoch Powell
