I was very surprised and shocked to hear of Alistair Darlings death ,he was someone I met on the early morning shuttle from Edinburgh on many occasions,always courteous and a very interesting man.
We we're very lucky to have him as chancellor in 2008,a very calm influence and deep thinking politician who will be much missed.

Just as an FYI gents: If Trump happens to win again, I may just move over your way. Anyone got a spare room to rent out?   |

Seemed like a good man who was given an already difficult job at a very difficult time. Nice to hear he was friendly in person as that's how he always came across on TV. He potentially saved the country from economic meltdown on more than one occasion so hard to criticise the bad decisions he made  |

Good news, but it shouldn't have been like this. "Over 3,000 Afghans have been left in limbo in Islamabad since November 2022, after Rishi Sunak pressed to end the use of hotels in the UK and the MoD stopped flights here. The stalemate was broken at the end of September when the Pakistani government announced that they would expel any undocumented refugees in the country, and the UK’s policy of inaction faced a court challenge. The Afghan father said: “I arrived at the hotel in Islamabad on 9 November 2022. And we came here on 21 November 2023. It has been one year and 11 days that we have been there. It was a long time.” " www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/afghans-pakistan-ministry-of-defence-garats-hay-b2455481.html |

You didn't manage to crack my password by any chance, I have forgotten it😂😂😂😂😂 |
