I’m surprised he’s accepted a poison chalice unless he did a lot of haggling to get more money.

A boiling pit of resentment & turmoil pretty much sums up the MoD atm! 🙄

She has a bit of a mutinous look in her eye...

Bloody stop fighting each other, Labour! It's exasperating.

Shallow comment incoming. Dan Jarvis is easy on the eye.

He is. Very easy.

Is that a Gwen John?
I loved the exhibition at the National Museum.

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee

He deserves it.

Wasn't Dan Jarvis touted as a possible leader at one point, but he said something about not wanting to as he had a young family? Or am I confusing him with someone else?

I don't know.

BBC is saying Carns resigned after Jarvis' appointment

Hannon le!

Tax from a recent visit to Nantes, where we rode the elephant!

Yes. The Tories were very relieved at the time. He frightened them.

I think I’ve seen him do a presentation on Diplomacy & Soft Power & its importance - he was pretty good to be fair! And Ex Military!
It is such a poison chalice though! Defence Reform is really trying to modernise & amalgamate the 3 Services where they are trying to do the same thing but sadly the 3 Services are so caught up in their history and tradition that they fight it tooth & nail!

You're not wrong.

@cardibach yes, it’s a photo I took at the exhibition. Wasn’t it wonderful? Only downside is I caught the most horrendous virus that I’m still getting over a month later. That’ll learn me not to go on the train to the big city.

All the MSM want Burnham to win. Labour is now hot news and DON'T WHISPER IT (farage - who's he!)

With the picture above (and a couple of vodkas) my brain just said, what? Jarvis Cocker?

If only!🤣

I've never trusted John Healey.

Funny, my predictive text gets his name right.

Maybe with the media onside, all this kerfuffle could turn out better than we fear. We live in hope, right? Maybe their excitement is nothing to do with their fear of labour actually moving left so they can really let rip.

Speculation makes for better headlines and clicks. Exciting.

😂

Here’s my cat tax! This is Lightning, my most soppy cat. He’s supposed to have gone downstairs for the night but I haven’t got the heart to disturb him. ❤️

It's late, holiday tax from me.
