Momentum are getting stronger

One of the 2 reasons I have sent my whole life teetering on the edge of voting Labour without ever doing so has been its underlying tendency towards mob rule, whether called Momentum or Militant, or nothing at all, just lurking in the corners of the party waiting it's chance.

The other, is their economic incompetence.

His family got their money from owning coal mines. I wonder what sort of employers they were?

Moggmentum's voting record. He really cares for ordinary people. Make a good Tory leader.

Wonder if any babies born this year will be named Momentum

No Smiths in mine, but lots of common Welsh surnames as parts of the family moved to Wales and married there.

Mine hasnt but fascinating stuff though

Mine ran into a brick wall at the Smiths. Every family tree eventually hits a Smith.

Mine's rolled up in the wardrobe, Elegran.
It's like a roll of wallpaper because there are lots of Scandinavian names on it. They were easy to trace for my in-laws.

I have a family tree on the wall of my spare room, dj, though it is mostly filled with Janes, Marys and Charleses, ag. labs and domestics all.

Last month.

Possibly meant to be Apollonia, a Roman woman's name.

I've just seen Butler Barnabas - I wonder whether that is a clue to his father, like calling your child Milkman?

Apparently he is one of the most rebellious of MPs - clearly a lot in common with Corbyn.

Off topic for one post, when I transcribed the BMD for a North Wales county I was surprised to find an Appleonia in the early 19th century, perhaps named after a boat

They wouldn't all fit, Elegran.
Easy to trace, though, in the future, although I bet he has a family tree on the ancestral walls.

I wonder if Moggmentum will be on The Last Leg tonight?

Time to go and eat. I'll leave the names and let you return to Momentum (fascinating website though).

Does he still take his nanny with him when canvassing?

Which itself is a bit Latiny.

If Sixtus has four names as well, that is 24 among the lot of them. Must take him ages to fill out a census form.

Back to Momentum anyone?

I rsther like Armageddon Danbury , interesting link Elegran, thank you

No, you are durhamjen ......nobody cares.

How touching that you know so much about him...

The other children's full names are Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Peter Theodore Alphege, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam and Mary Anne Charlotte Emma Rees-Mogg.

As you are still going on about children's names.

A couple of centuries ago, when all educated people learnt Latin, calling a child Sixtus would not have caused anyone to blink. Unusual names are popular at the moment, Perhaps he will start a new fashion for Latin ones?

Just think - he could have chosen Onesiphorus.
