When Veronica Cartwright who played Lambert was first cast to play in the movie Alien, she thought she was auditioning for the role of Ellen Ripley.

She was upset but eventually accepted her role as second fiddle to Sigourney Weaver

 

What a parallel universe that would make.

 

Boris - well and truly STUFFED !!!

‘Boris Johnson, the party is over’, says Helen Morgan after her North Shropshire win

A senior Tory MP has warned Boris Johnson he has just “one more strike” before the party considers ousting him, after the Liberal Democrats defeated the Conservatives to win the North Shropshire by-election with a 5,925 majority.

Helen Morgan – who came third with just 10 per cent of the vote in the same seat in the 2019 general election – won with 17,957 votes, while her Tory rival Neil Shastri-Hurst’s scored 12,032. It comes just two years after the Tories won the seat with a 23,000 majority.

Asked for his reaction this morning, Sir Roger Gale said voters had “sent a very clear message to Downing Street” and that the PM was in “last orders time”. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “We got rid of a good prime minister [Theresa May] to install Boris Johnson and he has to prove he’s a good leader, right now he isn’t doing that.”

Mr Johnson will no doubt be looking on at the result with some concern, just days after his authority was challenged when almost 100 Tory rebels voted against measures in his newly-enacted Covid ‘plan B’.

Will Lib Dems and Labour work together at next election?
After today’s result, some pundits are wondering if the Lib Dems and Labour should work together in some capacity to oust the Tories at the next general election.

Asked if it was time to have a “proper chat” with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Sir Ed Davey told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I just take you back to the two by-election victories we’ve had this year, stunning by-election victories, in Cheshire and Amersham, and now in North Shropshire.

“There was no pact, there was no deal. Voters can work this sort of thing out for themselves.

“And I’m sure there were lots of Labour voters who voted tactically for Helen Morgan and the Liberal Democrats last night, and that’s just what voters want to do. It’s their democracy.”

Pressed on whether there will be a “tacit understanding” about how hard the Lib Dems and Labour will campaign in certain seats in future, Sir Ed said: “I think voters can work it out for themselves.

“They’re grown up, they can read the facts, they can see who’s really putting the effort in.”

‘National issues’ with govt will have helped Lib Dems win, Davey says
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has said “national issues”, including dissatisfaction with the Tories, likely played a part in the by-election result.

“I’m not surprised Boris Johnson, after his shocking Pepper Pig speech and ‘partygate’ where they’ve broken the rules that they’ve told us to follow, I’m not surprised that he’s now losing the support of lifelong Conservatives,” he told Sky News.

In response to Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden insisting members have “full confidence” in Mr Johnson, Sir Ed, who is currently isolating with Covid, said: “I think the Conservative chairman should listen a bit more closely to the people of North Shropshire.

“They were telling me that they don’t think Boris Johnson is a decent person, not a decent person to lead our country, and frankly I think the people of North Shropshire have sent in a letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson to the Conservative’s 1922 Committee.”

Sir Ed said Conservative MPs will be “very alarmed” by this result, adding: “I’ve felt for a long time that he’s not fit to lead our country, and I think more and more people now who used to trust Boris Johnson no longer do.”
