Asda correctly identifying what I want in this blistering heat: spiced white chocolate Baileys and cloying new world Chardonnay

It is AWFUL that Britain has world leading institutions that tend to provide our brightest and best.

As I sit on a (nationalised) train running 45 minutes late, I wonder why the public never warmed to Keir Starmer’s inputs not outputs approach to governing.

Jesus Christ Superstar at The Palladium is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They could have easily done a cash grab (as many productions are) and relied on a bankable Jesus but everything is made with such love and care and it’s just fabulous. Highly, highly recommend.

Everything reminds me of him 🥲🥲🥲

Don’t worry; Andy will solve it.

Keir Starmer’s plan for government, to the extent they had one, was to grow the economy and use the proceeds for better public services to make Britain feel less broken. A large reason why he couldn’t do that was the cost of his anti-immigration policies.

There was a lot of goodwill for him and the bar was quite low when he took office, but he just hasn’t had a strong plan for the economy and public services, you can’t stay as PM just because you look good at international summits and make defence promises you don’t intend to keep!

My partner’s cat (not yet five years old) is about to have his fifth Prime Minister, I was 23 when that happened

Dutch news can’t even spell his name right

Went to Day 5 of The Oval yesterday, only 50 minutes of cricket but I did make a great sandwich that I can’t stop thinking about

Not a brand you want showing up on a credit card statement…

I am not reading any letters about this.

POV you’re Islam Karimov to protestors in Tashkent

Not England’s day but a very sunny day at the Oval.

Always liked Glenn Phillips, was great for a couple of seasons as an overseas for Gloucestershire.

It's time for a bold new deal that puts Britain back at the heart of Europe. 🧡

I do think it is bad for public engagement in democracy that 90% of campaigns/policy emails that MPs receive are asking them to do things that are basically useless in affecting change, "attend this drop-in", "write to the minister", "sign this EDM" etc.

SWR services are dreadful and nationalisation without investment has predictably meant no improvement, but this closing line in the BBC article is so unnecessary especially with the fare freeze. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why did football become so globally popular when other sports created in England – rugby, cricket, netball etc. – never really escaped the Commonwealth

Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch both wish their best to the English and Scottish football teams ahead of the World Cup, but not the England & Wales Cricket team ahead of a home T20 World Cup starting on Friday...

I wish there was an option for London (All Airports except Stanstead)

incredible things are happening in winchester

Quick trip back to Bristol for a glorious Glos victory in the cider derby!

‘Noise terrorism’, when people enter an erstwhile quiet place and talk loudly (usually on the phone). Prosecute it at the highest level.

I'd be furious too if I got the political ideals that I wanted and they crippled the country

My boyfriend stole this joke from me and now it’s doing numbers in the legal world

Staying at a Marriot for the first time and it is comically poor.

Has anyone ever calculated the impact on air pollution from tube strikes?

Pre-1801 Union Flag on Andrew Rosindell?

Are they going to change Chancery Lane to Business and Property Lane?

Going to the cricket twice this week (Surrey v Middlesex tomorrow and Glos v Somerset on Friday), why did it have to stop being lovely blue sunshine!

Bewildered by which letters they have and have not capitalised

Once again, happy Pride from the Labour government… I can only hope Labour members are ashamed of what is being done in their name - should they still be members of course after all this…

Just finished watching, and the Greens were a notable no-show in the debate on EHRC "guidance" I appreciate it's a small group, and Carla is on leave, but you'd have thought they could have ensured at least one of their MPs made a contribution in defence of trans people.

Either he’s liking so rapidly that he’s not actually reading the sarcastic context of posts like this, or his media literacy is very poor. Neither would be good!

I wonder which misogynistic posts Zack Polanski will like about the female journalists who wrote the FT piece

Celebrating!

We as a society should shame people who put bags on the seats of trains more

Why has someone put a “by whom” on a bit of just common parlance

thinks he's obama

A quick reminder that no dog died from missing a walk, but many dogs have died as a result of being exercised in hot weather! I've treated many dogs with heat stroke and it is often fatal. There's loads more useful info on preventing and treating heatstroke at Veterinary Voices UK!

Results of the 2026 Liberal Democrat style guide referendum revealed more splits in the North/South divide

I hope Microsoft knows that the passive-aggressive "You might want to plug in your PC" when it's about to lose charge winds me up more than if they simply called me a slur.

loudmouths refusing to keep it down in the quiet carriage, even when asked politely, has this always been a thing?

Saw a new GBR liveried train in service at Clapham Junction yesterday which was cool.

Gloucestershire la la la!!!

It was created in Britain for British people. What is the case for it not being “British food”.

Can’t believe that two years ago the General Election was called
