    In the likes of Asda the policy for drink and fags is to ask if they think the person looks 30 or less.

    I'm pretty sure the Daily Mail has weekly articles about pensioners getting IDed in ASDA.

    Most people who work in Asda would barely understand the whole concept of the number 30.

    I'm more surprised at the number of folk who are thinking that anyone against the sugar tax is a scumbag who wants to see children become obese and die.

    Straw poll, is Peston an absolute moron, incredibly naive or simply acting in bad faith?

    There's the above. Now I'm reading his tweets about the most pointless debate ever that opens by describing it as 'Great TV' and ended by saying that Jeremy Hunt took a risk by attacking his opponent.

    How can you come to the fore by being the chief economic correspondent during the worst recession since the great depression, caused by false promises and numbers that collapsed the moment you breathed on them, and take everything at face value?

    He was the lowly Business Editor when it all started, and then Roland Rudd tipped him off about Northern Rock and here we are. We had this discussion before about him being pound-for-pound the shittest pundit in the world, and I think it's basically just down to him being conventional wisdom made human.

    He does come across as someone who's only qualification is taking a 'Punditry 101' class in about 2004.

    I do like Andrew Neil but his retweeting of people telling him he's brilliant is quite a turn off.

    He's done 18 of them in as many minutes just now.

    I would like to think that the country would instinctively reject any of the current crop of left-wing women, lest any of them be given the platform to slowly nag the entire male population into gassing themselves in the garage (the only survivors being those who took their wife's name).

    I assume 'The Cabinet' doesn't survive the death of its creator so are these 'resignations' anything other than arseholes grandstanding and getting their retaliation in first? Aren't they all out of the job tomorrow/the day after anyway?

    I like how the people who apparently want to stop him are resigning left, right and centre.

    So what's next on the agenda once we've got our very own mop-haired heap of vomit in charge?

    I suppose a wall will be easier for us as we just have to brick up the Channel Tunnel.

    I don't see him calling an early one (I also don't see anyone really wanted one early either) as it would end in a clusterfuck.

    I was watching her speech just yesterday and couldn't but think that's why women don't belong in politics. "Leave Britney alone" video sprung to mind.

    Time isn't really the issue with any of those in government, is it? I long for the day you get some cunt who just will waltz in, say what he/she is going to do then actually do it. I couldn't even care if I don't agree with whatever it is, I just want to see it happen.

    I think 'Gareth Arnold' comes out of this worst, with his Pavel-esque Wikipedia, blatantly doing it for status. Cunt. I hope Wor Jared knocks him out.

    Fuck.

    Now, let's imagine for a moment that there had been a Labour PM (like Milliband) in place who resigned, and that Jeremy Corbyn had assumed the role on the say-so of a vote of Labour party members without consulting anyone else. What then?

    That's not "Brexit aside". Those pushing for no-deal know there will be a disaster, and wish to use that disaster to push through all of the shit that they want that nobody will stand for otherwise. Which is mostly the shit that you want, the so-called "kick up the arse".

    I think that's where your scenario falls down.

    But in any case, that's the risk you take in our system. We elect a party not an individual.

    The system can and should be changed to require a general election in this scenario.
