@joelmorris Peter, you can't join the Fantastic Four - they'd have to change their name. Which would just sound daft, right Peter? Peter?

@simonjhix Lower and upper house have to be considered together. Once the very existence of the HoL is (rightly) in doubt, what replaces it and the replacement's terms of reference will determine how the Commons needs to change.

I tend to think Starmer must know this and is concentrating on the obvious and popular thread to pull on to start that process. But I would like to have some sort of confirmation of that.

@freemo I'm far too new to have a grasp of all the history here, but I struggle to reconcile my experience with the portrayal of this server by some others.

@kityates I can't even understand how or why you'd get some of these things wrong.

And if you think about it, isn't indentured slave labour and persecution based on sexuality just the same as teasing someone for having freckles, in principle? #Fifa #Infantino #WorldCup #FFS

@JonnElledge This has to be it. Such a satisfying narrative.

Starring Trump as Chekov's Fash.

@LittleGreyRab

Great comment there from @MattCarr55: "Gross, but entirely predictable, that you would hold an open-to-abuse poll to justify a totally reprehensible outcome that you have already decided upon but don’t have the guts to take personal responsibility for."

Should be the last word on the subject.

@Jim Indeed. I wish it wasn't happening either here or now. I just know myself too well to believe I can totally ignore it.

@Haybop86 I don't dislike Gwent exactly, but it's no Triple Triad. (Ooh, that dates me!)

And once I realised I'd need to win a powerful card from the Baron having made no deck-building efforts to that point (and therefore being soundly thrashed), I decided not to worry about it for now.

@Jim Feel much the same. Honestly think I'm likely to end up watching something, but I'm a long way from assembling wallcharts and planning my days around it.

@Haybop86 Having missed a few quests because I took a while to understand everything and couldn't be doing with Gwent, I'm not taking a completist approach - this time, anyway.

Exploring is fun, and I intend to be more thorough in future playthroughs, but it's the story developments that really hook me. The Bloody Baron's family issues, or finding out who/what attacked Priscilla - they were wild rides.

When I'm exploring, I can happily stop, save and come back. It's when I'm deep in a story quest that I end up late to bed.
