the only seats that labour had any meaningful chance of winning are ones that went to the SNP.

some of the *check wikipedia tab* 41/59 seats that went to Labour in 2010, Jim?
All I am saying is that Scotland can shape the direction of the UK government.

i absolutely loathe grace dent. didn't she used to be okay when she wrote that soap column? now she's all gloating about mulberry handbags and how expensive the trinkets are at persham nurseries in order to make it known that she goes there in the first place while superficially making out that she disapproves of people who shop there. she makes me sick.

She’s been a lamer ever since she took money for writing a YA book called Diary of a Chav.

Friday (today). I can't find the one where she was going on about her £800 handbag. Today, conversely, it's frowned upon to spend £800 on a garden feature but only so readers know that you've been there many times because you like *that* kind of life.
― Britain's Sexiest Cow (jed_), Friday, 15 June 2018 20:42 (five years ago) link
xp I'm assuming it's the one mentioned upthread where she mentions the name of her handbag in that brand-referencing style she does.I'm no Grace stan, and 'Diary of a Chav' sounds horrendous, plus I have no idea what a Persham nursery is, but women are constantly policed re spending money on things viewed as frivolous by serious males.I'd never even contemplate spending £900 or whatever it is on a handbag but ffs no-one pulls up blokes for mentioning (gloating about) their Arsenal season ticket or ridiculous Audi or limited edition trainers or whatever else they enjoy and can afford. Of course it's obscene and won't somebody think of Darfur but it's nearly always one-sided.

It’s Petersham Nurseries , the posh one’s just outside Richmond and is very bunting/shabby chic-oriented; the review was of the ‘branch’ of the restaurant in Covent Garden (no gardeny shite there).
Banging on about the cost of a handbag is very non-U (Petersham Nurseries people have wellies and Daunt Books holdalls FFS) but what do you expect from somebody who badly channels Elsie Tanner as part of her (cough) personal brand?
