    That’s a one way ticket to nowheresville. Outside NE Fife and maybe a few more chips into the Highland Trad Liberal since Gladstone and the Crofters Acts areas, can’t see much growth for them in Holyrood or Westminster. Unless Brexit really becomes The Issue of Issues, and Labour and Nats drop the ball (or Nats are now beyond the pale for a hardcore 50+ percent) and Comrade Ruth’s Revolution is scuppered by Brexit and being Tories, why would any Deeply Concerned Deeply Ambitious fecker with short-medium term dreams of fame and power join the LibDems? Better to “initiate change from within”. And get on telly more.

      Though if they make him enough of a celebrity, more than Embra West might be up for grabs at Westminster. If they pray maybe the Lib Dems will get a few Embra list seats at Holyrood.

        They can't have all that much strength in depth.

                You’d be a fool to run a non local in the Highlands or culchie golf Fife. Rural Scotchland is almost as nepotistic dynastic and/or pork barrel bollocks as Ireland.

                    All part of the long term Tory plan to create more Citizens of Nowhere and get voted out of office.

                    They've blown college towns, the next step will be the seats down the road from which people commute to work in colleges. They lost Oxford East by 23,000. Managed to ship Oxford West and Abingdon to the Lib Dems on a 9.1% swing. They might as well turn Wantage and Witney marginal while they're about it.

                    And all to pick off Brexit pensioners.

                          Focus group participants in Merthyr and the Rhondda were notably unhappy at the increase in the Polish communities in those places.

                            The number of Northerners who would vote for a united Ireland jumps 13% to 46%, in the event of a hard Brexit:

                              I had reason some time ago to visit Flint. Went to a sandwich shop / butchers run by a lovely (and quite mad) Welsh lady who told all present that if it wasn't for the Poles she'd have "no fuckin' business to speak of, and you'd have nowhere to buy your fuckin' sausages once a week".

                              Which was an eye opener. I only went in for a pie. Was a good one too, if you're ever in Flint.

                                On the plus side, it's quite funny that Theresa May bet her shirt on these folk going Bluekip at the election, and they didn't.

                                  Good point made by Robert Peston about the lack of no deal preparations. If the Government starts spending a lot of money on them, that'll be taken as a sign by international investors that things are going to get very shit, and they'll get very shit even more quickly.

                                  No wonder Hammond tried hard to play this down.

                                        The Mail has explicitly asked people to email university@dailymail.co.uk

                                        I wonder if anyone will email about the Dangerous activities at Rose Bruford College, a Drama School which runs a BA European Theatre Arts course which looks extremely leftwing and stinks of multicultural influences.
                                        One of the people associated with it is a Professor Kathy Dacre, who has received public money to pursue "inclusive performance training". How PC can you get?

                                        She is also married to the editor of the Daily Mail.

                                            Brexit update from my employer....5 bullet points, not a single positive one; interested to note immigration restrictions is seen as a potential major problem. My employer is a rather large company with a a number of EU sites. They have relocation options galore...

                                                With a name like Martin Callanan, her replacement must have some Irish heritage?

                                                  This doesn't smack of desperation at all.

                                                    If it wasn't Boris Johnson saying it, that would just be tragic.
