Can someone explain what is going on in Italy for me?

Two populist parties were the big winners in the election. They proposed a cabinet to the Italian president, who rejected the nominations, but no other parties can form a viable coalition, so limbo time.

Yes, but then you'd get nations lurching to the left, to the right.....

This has greatly amused me and I think shows how far Labour have lost their way.

That seems like a really sensible idea. If everyone could do that and solve their disagreements with a dance-based contest the world would be a better place.

Gosh. Geordie Grieg (Mail on Sunday editor) is replacing Paul Dacre as Daily Mail editor. He and Dacre are political opposites.

...and supposedly despise one another.

I understand the argument that a tick box has been seen as essential in getting to questions of cultural identity, such as ethnicity, national identity and language. However, the innovation of an online questionnaire means that we can add a drop-down box with a “search as you type” option.

Wow, May looks profoundly uncomfortable here. I think her logic processing unit has got stuck into a loop.

The lawsuit alleges that the foundation paid $100,000 (£750,000) to settle legal claims against Mr Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort, $158,000 to settle claims against one of his golf clubs, and $10,000 to purchase a painting of Mr Trump to hang at another of his golf clubs.

I'd genuinely like to know their motivation for doing that.

The pair of them are complete fistulas.

Lord Adonis:
My Lords, does the noble and learned Lord know whether Karl Marx is public or private property?

Lord Keen of Elie:
My understanding is that there is no right of property in a body.

Lord Selkirk of Douglas:
  
Does the Minister accept that in the past I have had a particular interest in this because one of my ancestors was buried in an Egyptian sarcophagus? When efforts were made by respected members of the public to recover the sarcophagus, it could not be found. Perhaps I may say that where private sector measures impact on the public sector, it can often give rise to offence if it means interfering with other graves.


Lord Keen of Elie:
I am obliged to my noble friend for his question. I am not aware of the present whereabouts of the sarcophagus in question.

Bit fucked off Nissan have said that they are staying in Sunderland. Doesn't sit right, to me.

Americans in the UK have been warned to “keep a low profile” during this week’s visit of their president, Donald Trump, as the US embassy in London says demonstrations against the event could turn violent.

Guardian:



And yet Mr Trump keeps on saying that the world respects the USA again.

Thanks to Mr Trump, I'm now feeling slightly sorry for the Prime Minister.

And pissing myself laughing at her naivety about him.

It would be great if she has finally had enough, and decides to put the beat down on trump in her speech later, but it will be all special relationship this, and valued friendship that.
I want her to go "fuck it" and call everyone out on all the petulant bullshit.
