    It closed up, as predicted, because the entire world stopped using CFCs in sprays and refrigerators etc by 1995. The scientists that worked on it were awarded the Nobel prize in Chemistry. I hope this helps, Malcolm.

    Jess Phillips is "heartbroken" at the results suggested by the exit poll - despite effectively campaigning against her own party for the last 3+ years.

    Being lectured by Piers about journalism is like being lectured by a man who built a career editing the Sun's 'Bizarre' page - writing a column titled 'The Poofters of Pop', who hacked Nigel Haver's phone as he nursed his dying wife, and who was sacked for lying about war crimes

    Jeremy Corbyn in #PMQs so poorly informed on Saudi and Yemen. He sees everything as an ideological battle rather than the more complicated reality. It’s frighteningly simplistic.

    Just like his witless 'arl fella, an accident of birth gives him superhuman levels of arrogance, self confidence, & self importance - regardless of how profoundly mediocre he is. The #PrinceOfPegging can't even keep the peace in his own family cult, never mind the Middle East!

    I for one am astonished that @BorisJohnson would consider taking a period of Paternity Leave. When he was a journalist (Snort, Guffaw, Snort) he wasn't particularly supportive of the idea, or complementary towards individuals who took it.
