I can't vouch for Ryobi but this suggests you can buy it with a battery which I imagine would be cheaper, assuming it is the model you are talking about.
I hung on until the autumn thinking that things might change but resigned then because I believe the Labour Party is no longer the party I joined nearly forty years ago, or even the party under Blair, Brown and Miliband.
I followed two good friends who resigned a couple of years ago. We had all been in the party for many years and none of us was a Corbynite or Momentum supporter, And there are thousands like us who have done the same.
The problem it seems to me is that the Labour Party is now in the hands of people who looked on Brown and Miliband as dangerous lefties, making the Labour Party little distinguishable from the Cameron Tory party but with a little less social liberalism.
I suppose you could still say the Labour Party is still a broad church, but in my view that broad church, when it comes to MPs or Parliamentary candidates, extends from centrists to Natalie Elphicke, leaving aside the odd leftie that they have not found any dirt on to deselect.
The crazy thing with this is that Labour accept into the party a fairly extreme member of a different party, whilst at the same time preventing people from standing for office for things like liking a tweet by Caroline Lucas.
I was going to joke that Labour would be courting Farage next, but it's not as farfetched as you might think.
[John McDonnell] expressed alarm when told [on LBC] that, at his post-PMQs briefing, Starmer’s spokesperson would not rule out Labour letting Nigel Farage join the party. He was responding to a question about whether the former Ukip leader would also be allowed in.
Even though the possibility of Farage wanting to join Labour is probably zero, or lower, when told by Marr about the briefing McDonnell said:
I don’t know who that Labour spokesperson was but they need a proper briefing on what Labour history is and what Labour values are. And we’re certainly not allowing into the party the likes of Nigel Farage who’s been nothing as far as I’m concerned [but] the major cause of division of society.
Stephen Hammond, a Conservative MP on the “moderate”, One Nation wing of the party told Sky News that he was surprised that Natalie Elphicke had chosen to defect to Labour. “If there’s been someone who has done as much as anyone to drag my party away from the centre ground of British politics in the last five years, it’s been Natalie, he said.
He told Sky:
I’ve known Natalie for 20 years or longer – I’m very disappointed.
She has always been very clear about her views, which are one of the reasons why I’m so surprised is that she’s always been on the right of the Conservative party.
She was hugely critical of Keir Starmer up to only a month ago about his immigration policy and relying on the French. I’m surprised and disappointed.
Natalie Elphicke wanted to join the Labour Party because she thinks Keir Starmer is politically closer to Boris Johnson than Rishi Sunak is. And Labour think it’s something to be proud of. https://t.co/anpQaFOkEH
I posted this last week, and suggested Blue Action should arrange something similar for the Huddersfield game. I find it both hypnotic and addictive to watch.
I have no issue with what Woolfy said, and can't see it ever being used against us, especially given the context (Goodman's comments and an open-top bus).
In addition, Kayden grabbing the mike while Woolfie was being interviewed and chanting "Leeds are falling apart" was especially funny. He then repeated it a bit later.
In any event, the whole Sky coverage on the bus was pretty shambolic.
