Just finished the final episode of #TipToe. What an incredible bit of television that whole series was. Hauntingly accurate for the current time.

Does the below make you: a) Confused b) Disgusted c) Entertained d) Aroused e) All of the above f) Other

Ohhhhh, Jer-er-mee Cawww-bin. Woahhh JER-ER-MEE CAWWWW-BINNNNNN.

I don’t like it when politicians like Gove, who are guilty of some of the biggest policy disasters in a generation, try to rehabilitate their reputation and pop up on panel shows, making a joke of all those crazy things they did in office as if it is a reality TV spinoff show.#HIGNFY

It’s too late now, but Mandelson would have been a great addition to the political podcast world. He’s a proper catty little gossip peddler.

I hope that lad from M&S is getting whatever support from his organisation that he needs after being harassed and voxxed by a bunch of trouble making obsessives over on X.

He’s right up there with frosted tips, Tommy Hilfiger aftershave, two tone shirts and driving around with NYSYNC on the stereo. Fine in the late 90s, but not 30 years later.

Good to see Tony Blair back in the political discourse, rocking up like a rogue TimeLord from days gone by; offering the lofty insights that nobody wanted nor asked for. Somebody give him a podcast or something.

Just seen #ChoirOfMan in the Millennium Centre. What an incredible show. I can’t recommend it enough - an excellent night of theatre. Go and see it. Seriously.

We did it, lads. We banned trans people from toilets. Now to sit back and watch house prices come down and vegetables stop rotting on supermarket shelves and we'll all come together and feast on Cadbury's Creme Eggs as big as your head, m'boy, And we'll watch Morecambe and Wise, who did NOT die

Keir Starmer, again, reverts back to “that’s the law”. Does he realise that he’s the Prime Minister with a massive parliamentary majority, and he can change the law? Did they cover off that on his induction day?

It will, unfortunately. Gay millennials are waking up to how harmful Section 28 was to us during our formative years. Didn’t realise it at the time. The treatment of trans people has always been a thousand times worse though.

This whole sex-based spaces guidance isn’t going to be around for long, is it? So many operational and legal issues that have been skirted around.

I saw the Harry Hill show that’s on Sky tonight when he was in Cardiff. Loved it then, and loving seeing it again. As stand up comedy goes, he really is a unique power.

Chaos ensues #Eurovision

Very brave of #Eurovision to have a fiddler doing the Cliff Richard song there.

Had an email autocorrect fail today, sent to a senior colleague. I meant to say “If it’s ok with you, I’ll be basing myself in your office for the day”. Unfortunately, “basing” was changed to “bashing”.

The £5,000,000 that Farage got from his “businessman who lives in Thailand” was all Cameo payments to see Nigel’s sexy dances.

Having chosen to shit in his hotel bed to protest about the poor room service, Streeting now has to sleep in a shitted bed.

“Widows Bay” on AppleTV is a cracking series… a mix of Jaws and a compilation of Stephen King stories wrapped together. It’s a bit scary/suspenseful, but it’s really well done.

I’m sure Farage can account for every single penny of the £5,000,000 that he used for “security” thanks to the “businessman who lives in Thailand” and that he has receipts and invoices for it all.

“No individual is bigger than the party, or the country… unless his name is Andy Burnham, and then everything needs to bend around his availability”.

So many English MPs and journalists refer to the “local council elections” results being bad for Labour. Have they all forgotten than in a national election, Labour are now a single-figure minority party? Or do they see Wales’ Senedd the same as a provincial town council? #Newsnight

What added value is there in the #Newsnight guests standing outside a closed Palace of Westminster in their anoraks when they could have been having exactly the same discussion in the studio?

Wes Streeting tomorrow morning:

Insiders say that Starmer kept Streeting waiting outside his office for 15 minutes first, invited him to come in but not to sit down, looked at him for 30 seconds straight and then just told him to fuck off.

- Streeting launches leadership campaign but doesn’t get the numbers - Starmer stays on as PM - Burnham returns to Commons - Labour lose Manchester mayoralty - Starmer stands down - Burnham becomes PM for GE - Hung Parliament - Streeting loses seat in GE Meanwhile, Scotland votes for independence.

Wes Streeting having a majority of about 500 votes is a great clue for how Season Two of “Fucked up government” is going to end.

That Pure Cremation advert is really weird, isn’t it? Why’s the man in the bath? I don’t get it.

A Prime Ministerial resignation is not underway unless and until the hot sound engineer arrives to erect the lectern.

For most Millennials, Wes Streeting in Downing Street would mark the stage in our life cycle where the Prime Minister is the same age, or even younger, than us.

We’re over 24 hours of drip-drip backbenchers and junior ministers wanting Starmer to resign, but absolutely nothing in the way of a serious challenger - all of them too afraid to go first. It’s self-indulgent navel gazing. Like the Tories, running the country is just a parlour dance to them.

It’s really difficult to say that Keir Starmer’s time in office is over when it hadn’t really ever started.

Bring on the chaos with Ed Miliband.

Starmer is surely going to do a John Major “put up or shut up” to close this down - this drip-drip of backbenchers calling for him to go is only going to continue otherwise.

Starmer needs to promise a monorail in every town to turn this around now.

Starmer’s popularity started to slide when he stopped telling us that his dad was a toolmaker.

Monday

If you receive £5,000,000 “gift” from a UK ex-pat living in Thailand, you probably know something about them that they don’t want getting out.

EU Membership. The cause of, and solution to, all of the UKs political problems.

Well done Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Let’s see the one where David Starkey gets into a fight with a Nintendo Switch.

Reform talking about the revolutionary changes they will deliver… they won’t achieve anything, and they’ll turn on each other like rats in a sack when they realise that governing is hard work. #WalesLeadersDebate

I’ve missed watching spicy parliamentary debates like this one, good to see a welcome return of political chaos.

Those King Sized sausage fingers were no match for little ol’ Tango Tiny Hands.

Donald Trump is quite right to say he’s not a rapist. It was *only* a charge of sexual assault that a court found him liable. #C4News

An otherwise perfectly satisfactory Sunday afternoon trip to the dump has been ruined because I had to ask The Man there to help me lift something because it was too heavy. Totally emasculating.

The Titanic analogy that @aiannucci.bsky.social made with Mandelson’s appointment on #StrongMessageHere was brilliant. As was the line “I wanted Mandelson as the ambassador, why didn’t anyone stop me?!”

Ok fine I’ll do it myself. I’m fucking wheezing
