When the flirty Eyelasher, Jonah Bandwagon, makes his much put off maiden speech in the House of Commons, will that count as him getting as close to being a woman in all but sex as is humanly possible?

On the map
A trawl through the Mansion’s bookcases turned up a 2002 edition of the Manchester AtoZ, which revealed that there are 2 Downing Streets in the area.
There is one in Ashton-under-Lyme with easy access to the M60 motorway.
Nearer the city centre, the north-south road that goes past Piccadilly railway station becomes Downing Street for a while after being crossed by the A57(M).
In the jeans
Jonah Burnbum, we are being reminded, used to claim that a mansion tax is the polyticks of envy. But J.B is Labour and Labour is the party of envy. He needs to be bashed with different clubs.
Unfit for purpose
The EFU is being told to scrap its disastrous entry/exit system for citizens of non-EFU states. There is abundant evidence that it just doesn’t work and the queues are getting longer and longer.
Some real sport
The RedBlacks went to Edmonton to start Week 6 of the CFL. The Antlers drove to scoring range, walk-in TD! Lotz of defence into Q2. A FG for the Ants after 7 minutes, 0-10. Penalty, Charge! From the EA 1, 7-10.
A pick in the 14th minute by the Ants stopped the visitors. Monster play to a FG for the Ants and 7-13. Seconds left, a HUGE FG, 7-16.
A pick in Q3 stopped the RB. Bomb pass by Fajardo but out on downs. TD for the RB toward the end of the quarter, 14-16. The Ants drove into Q4, on to a TD. FG for the visitors, 17-23. Through the defence for another EA TD.
A pick stopped the RB in the 11th minute. Another run through the RB defence, 17-37. And another pick. And another sprint, 67 yards, cancelled by a penalty, just a FG, 17-40 final.
File under ‘U’ for Up-’em!
If Labour can get away with triggering a whole series of cosmetic elections; parliamentary, mayoral, council, etc., why shouldn’t Nigel Farage do it to mock all the stooges who are trying to fit him up?
The box is the same size
The strawberry portions at Bloody Wimbledon are being shown on the internet in large numbers. Predictably, the price of a serving is up and the number in a portion has been cut from the traditional 10 to the number of fingers on two hands, i.e. eight. If you’re lucky.
Sometimes, the number is made up by cutting berries in half and sometimes only half a dozen strawbs are on offer.
