50 odd days to go though so we will see.
With you on that one

Yes, a clear win for T. May would strengthen her bargaining power for Brexit, which has to be good for the UK.

So this clip is barely news, but I'm posting it because I like the short video of the results (approving a June election) being announced. As usual in the House of Commons, it's a mix of schoolboyish jeering and arcane ritual, like a scene from the assembly hall at Hogwarts.

I'll be in the UK that month. Should be interesting to observe a foreign election firsthand.

Erm what? London is ace for visiting. Don't listen to him PS. Also be sure to hit up the north, obviously do exclude Bradford, unless you're wanting to visit the National Media Museum. Leeds (my home city), Manchester and Liverpool are worth visiting. You should also definitely visit Cambridge and the surrounding towns and villages, especially in Suffolk. Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill have a lot of history and are really nice picturesque places. I mean I don't know where you're going but thought I'd give me thoughts. Have a good trip though, mate.

Really? There was a joke? I'm racking my brain trying to figure it out, but it just ain't coming to me, mate. What is the joke, if you don't mind me asking?
