A Lib-Dem motion regarding Proportional Representation using the 10 minute rule passed today by 138 to 136. Naturally, this will go nowhere. Such motions are often successful but unless the government of the day wants them to succeed they will disappear in one of the Commons back rooms.
However, this has shown a good degree of support for the idea, and as a start it needs to be given more publicity on social media and elsewhere. Maybe in time a government will find it useful.
Of the recent orders I ordered only one appears to be outstanding, this one! Today I noticed why, it is coming from China!!! Why do I not read these things properly? Not only does this take time, possibly two more weeks, but the last tech item I got from China blew up my laptop!
Now I have just discovered that another gift I ordered is coming from the USA! What? The address is UK but the goods come from far away! By the time they get here they will be too late to post for Xmas.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........
Bah Humbug!

When Leo ordered stuff on Ali Baba, or whatever it is called, we used to check where it was coming from. His latest electric wheelchair was said to be delivered to Costa Rica, coming from China. Then we had a message that is was in Florida and had come from Poland.....much palavering and we finally had it delivered to the door.
Anon, Some goods are based in the UK, no doubt the best sellers, but some still come from afar.
