No problem. The Independent site's coding's always been odd. Denzil_DC Oct 2017 #3
Indeed. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #4

"Denzil may possibly be preoccupied with the idea of Ruth Davidson as Tory leader" Denzil_DC Oct 2017 #6

I stand corrected then. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #21
Nowadays, they have LeftishBrit Oct 2017 #15
Fair enough. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #22
Anyway, we sidetracked on to Davidson etc. because Denzil_DC Oct 2017 #16
Exactly LeftishBrit Oct 2017 #14
Ruth Davidson The King of Prussia Oct 2017 #23
Speaking as somebody with an openly gay Tory for an MP.... T_i_B Oct 2017 #24
