Over here, Malcolm.

Thank you! Ordered!

You're welcome.

The Binface figure is remarkably accurate.
It may challenge your metallic paint range, as he has a lot of shiny steel and slightly duller aluminium in his costume.

While you can't use him in official GW contests, he's a great character for figure agnostic games.

I occasionally play a game called Frostgrave which has a couple of wizards and a band of retainers competitively scavenging.

You could also find some contemporary opponents among these

The Starmer's a bit hard to recognise, I'm hoping they follow with a Rayner.

I'm tempted by Noggin the Nog...

Careful now, we were offered a Nogland style treaty by Brexiteers, but they never delivered.

The brexiteers couldn’t even deliver a glass of eggnog, let alone Nogland. You’d just end up with David Frost sat in a puddle of milk in the middle of the floor, covered in bits of omelette and eggshells, blaming the deep state and remainer saboteurs.

The list of potential leaders is utterly woeful and it will probably be even worse in a couple of years time when they will inevitably ended up with yet another contest.

With Jeremy Hunt ruling himself out of the running none of the candidates have any experience working in the treasury. Many of the candidates have worked in the Home Office so when any of them try to lecture Starmer on immigration he will have a very easy retort asking them about what they did when they were in office.

They'll just claim Rwanda was about to work.

Assuming he's running.

In a world where there's no prison space left, Tom. You know very well you were alreay doing the same.

Another one who's running, here having his arse handed to him by a rail heavyweight (and Tory local councillor). He might also have added that the £36bn doesn't exist- it was money that wasn't borrowed for HS2, that's all.

Basically they’ve also had to shut Dartmoor immediately, I have a feeling that’s going be a scandal shortly. With such space under restriction Labour doing it immediately suggests the Tories were sitting on something.

This is good news for the leadership contest, presumably. This is way higher than what you'd expect.

Is this why Jenrick’s recasting himself as a centrist who was forced to be nasty to foreigners because there’s too many of them?

Apparently Mel Stride has hinted that he might throw his hat in the ring. The Tory talent pool is now more like an ineptitude puddle.

Held onto his seat by a mere 61 votes, with the Greens and Lib Dems providing Labour with another 20% to squeeze at the next election.

Amusingly, most of the potential leaders are pretty vulnerable at the next GE.

Sunak has apparently now formally stood down as Tory leader (though still "caretaker" - hope he still does Keir's first PMQs on Wednesday), and the Tories have announced that their new leader will be enthroned on 2 November. This after FOUR final candidates, chosen by the Conservative parliamentary party, will be announced at conference, then put to party members to decide that Kemi Bad Enoch gets the gig.

Does a party that only has 121 MPs really need three months to appoint a new leader? This really seems over indulgent especially given that the donations are drying up and redundancies are likely to be on the cards at central office.

This years party conference will be like a wake. All the companies that used to attend the conference to try and wangle government contracts will be nowhere to be seen. The four candidates who do address conference will probably face an half empty conference room. It really won't be a good look.

Yeah I went to 2008 and 2010 for Labour.

It was chalk and cheese and they don’t even have Unions and their free bars.

They've learned nothing from Corbyn.

Excellent.
