Working at a job that drives you into a ditch, and staying in a marriage which drives you to an early grave, is reality for 90% of the population. Must British sitcoms wouldn't exist without tapping into the reality of how crap everything truly is! Oh dear! Labour’s 2023 anthem may as well be ‘things won’t get any better’. Labour?! How very dare you  |

North Lincolnshire have told me that the byelections have not been called for 2 May - they expect them to be towards the end of June.
I think that wraps up the status of all the byelections that could have been held on 2 May.

Re Meir North, Stoke-on-Trent, we have been given instructions that Des did not resign but retired, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the recent budget… 😉
