singer morrisey was an hot water after making disparaging remarks about scottish first minister nicola sturgeonster nicola sturgeon. i am no fan of his politics or his music, but even morrisey got it right when he said... laughter when he said, of the first minister, those hands will be in everybody‘s pocket! the prime minister's brexit showdown, ham hock as this is the first step to offer a healthy brexit? and finally parliamentary procedure can be a little baffling, but the government business managers say they are expecting to know all the rules. that was billy hill. and, finally, parliamentary procedure can be a little baffling, but the government business managers, the whips, are expected to know all the rules. kelly was promoted to the job last month, but she may not have quite come to grips of what is what. as amended in the public bill committee, now. now. she won't do that again! and that is it for now, so for me, goodbye. some of us this week might be surprised just how much snow does fall by the end of the week. different parts of the country will be getting the snow at different sta
