I have joined the Green party. Reform are the biggest party in terms of members, Labour second, but close by in third is Green. The science of climate change is indisputable and terrifying. If you think it's all lies you've been played. Memberships start as low as £6 a year: join.greenparty.org.uk

When one has reviewed the Coro-Nation Liturgy I trust you will be inspired to carry out your duties as 21st c Christmas tree-burning Englishpersons. I will look to the skies in my waxed Barbour through my RSPB Puffin binoculars and weep the tears of a Briton when I see your smokelambs a-gambolling.

Ahead of the King's Speech from his hice I invite you take in Coro-Nation Liturgy with @mattdalby.bsky.social recorded for the Coro-Nation in 2023. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGb-...

Christmas in the 1980s.

Here's a thing. drstevehanson.wordpress.com/2025/12/23/t...

Another luxury bungalow on the Moscow real estate market.

Welcome to the new food waste caddy. If this is the closest I will ever get royal faces to rotting vegetables then I'll take it.

My dad's gone. Suddenly. We made a temporary little shrine on the canal side. He was well-liked locally.

Streeting you're a scumbag.

Quite something to be in that list...

Very glad I didn't vote Labour. A labour party does not sell out the workers. Clue is in the name.

One of the pleasures of moving somewhere is looking up the nearest post box. I don't know why.

Was on a local Your Party WhatsApp group for a short time. They were arguing for a fortnight about whether or not there should be an agenda for the first meeting. 'IT'S NOT YOUR PARTY IT'S MINE.' The best satire isn't invented. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I logged back into Facebook after years and that ad for a tiny watercolour kit vomits out of the screen every two minutes. Why did I do that?

Congress passes resolution calling socialism and Marxism a scourge and breaker of families - so does capital never do that? - but this will be the UK under Farage, the left under the first real cosh it has had. I put it to you that you are not prepared.

Said it before and I'm saying it again.

Ello lurkers.

Only just found out that they remade The Clangers. And drained every drop of mystery out of it.

I HAVE MOVED BACK TO THE CALDER VALLEY

That place where the boundary between 'legitimate' capitalism and petty gangsterism starts to crumble...

Exhaustion like never before, drilling back pain but no time for traction as every precious thing you own rolls precariously towards the horizon on four wheels with a bunch of strangers and the threat of £££ hangs over its release. A jelly quivers where the belly once was. S'called moving house.

Hell is an eternal half-life sorting infinite coathangers in an infinite warehouse.

As things get grimmer it's worth remembering Deathlike Silence by Sodom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPci...

Robbie Gibb and his brother worked for the rightwing National Alliance of Russian Solidarists. Amusing because Gibb is attempting a sort of entryism.

Dear Father, on November the 2nd I bought you chocolate Brazil Nuts for Christmas. On the evening of the 9th I ate them all.

It’s extraordinary but not shocking that it isn’t seen as a massive story that one of the most senior politicians in Farage’s party was an active Russian agent for pay, asking questions in the European Parliament on the Kremlin’s behalf, organising pro-Russian events. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m not generally a fan of if-the-boot-was-on-the-other-foot counterfactuals, but can you imagine what the UK media would be doing if one of Corbyn’s closest politician allies was found to be a Russian agent? Why is Farage not being held over the coals for this? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Gullible, credulous and therefore exploitable... and so possibly dangerous. htsf.substack.com/p/coventry-s...

As things get grimmer it's worth remembering the musical creativity of Leamington Spa beat group The Varukers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIJ0...

Today's urgent message is: get some great tunes on, it might be the end of the world.

I think somebody just blew up their own house.

Me man. Me make loud bang show me man.

Zarah you're deluded, I wish you weren't.

Fuck off Andrew.

Fuck off Wilders.

This institution still has flipcharts in its rooms. Such a joy. Such invitation. To write messages of brutality and unreason five pages in, with a pen that doesn't show through the sheet that covers it. One can also detach sheets and hang them from the window, bearing disturbing non-sequiturs.

I ate a doughnut for the first time in ages today. It was like a scene from Alien Earth.

Ye currente vibes.

I have got my school shoes out for morning and like all good delinquents I DO NOT WANT TO GO .

The collective noun for solicitors is a murder of solicitors.

Head-to-toe Patagonia believer.

And come, Ananke, I need you for a task...

Sing, O Muse, of the wrath of Achilles

And then all the taxi drivers were out of jobs.
