are always looking for the right set of circumstances that will increase the chances of being returned another period in office. the argument — another period in office. the argument would _ another period in office. tie: argument would be instability another period in office. the argument would be instability and walking the plank then there will be in the labour party and the labour party suggests, leadership of the labour party with leadership. nevertheless but the same time, it would seem rather bizarre that the government at the moment, reasonably distance behind in the polls and i do think it's a little bit of tes and this idea came from knowing other than the government and those around him and it wasn't dreamed up by the daily express for the journalists and coming from the
11:39 pm
heart of downing street. and i expect more discipline within the parliamentary party because if he can to election mode, there be sniping about the prime minister and this this talk of an upcoming election, state elections to the 1922 committee and a couple of clear publicjohnson critics, the likes baker and andrew are prepared to put themselves up for reelection but it could not go well because of their position on borisjohnson and the conservative party. still an issue confronting the tory party within an election very soon, they don't have time for these were fares and that's part of it as well. and i think this is a ridiculous concept, to use the
11:40 pm
prime ministers words. but many ridiculous things have happened and mostly within the last few years. and you can see how it might look when you are worried about the fractious nest of your parliamentary coalition will hold together and nothing focuses the mind is more than the prospects of losing your seat altogether and you can see why this might look like an attractive idea by presumably, it's not when the you could stand for very long and the freedom again to do this because they finally got rid of the fixed parliament act and the prime minister at any time which is an interesting thought and sorry. admin no to the interesting thought and sorry. admin go to the palace _ interesting thought and sorry. admin go to the palace and _ interesting thought and sorry. admin go to the palace and this _ interesting thought and sorry. admin go to the palace and this debate - interesting thought and sorry. sécn “i go to the palace and this debate as to whether this private secretary of

11:48 pm
sufficient notice that the ten o'clock flight is now at 12 o'clock flight or an eight o'clock flight whatever it is. whatever it is important is that people have some certainty because there's nothing worse than turning up to an actual airport and we have experienced standing around for hours upon hours in the biggest issue i've always had with airports is the lack of information you feel the joy given. that he can just be voided when you don't get told what is happening and all that does is add to the frustration. if you're told its going to be three hours, jewel—like and beliefs you know. if you're told its going to be in our three times, it's going to be in our three times, or up to three hours, you get the rage. that is a good one. it gets worse because a lot of us thought that a lot of these problems would be resolved by the end of the autumn, evenif resolved by the end of the autumn, even if they mean the summer, it is
