A lot will surely depend on who they - the #danish SDs -lose support to - groups to the right or those to the left. Gains by the right might indeed please the #us but my reading is that gains by the left may be more likely - especially after recent local elections there. Which might in turn raise questions about whether centre-left parties elsewhere should be adopting their approach to immigration!

It was not just height that was an issue. The British army discovered during the Boer war that many of those who had volunteered had such poor teeth that they could not chew and thus digest the roast beef they were provided with . The army had to buy mincing machines in consequence!

He met Hardy in a house near where I live in #putney . There is a plaque commemorating this.

It may not be entirely coincidental that #alanmilburn has just been appointed as Senior Nonexecutive Director at the Department of Health and Social Care!
