so a friend on a mailing list I've been on forever said he couldn't understand why so many people had wanted Starmer to stand down when he was obviously so much better than those who came before. I did my best to explain

Bloody hell, as if we weren't all discombobulated enough in this weather

Is it putting racist shit on Facebook?

Great idea. I'm sure Sergei will ensure his fake videos of British politicians are correctly labelled.

It has taken until now for the room I'm in to get hot. It is now hot. (I was a actually little chilly earlier)

Weirdly, it's not that hot in my garden. It's an absolute sun trap but the breeze is cool. It felt hotter yesterday. The dog has taken refuge though.

Remember that if you put your dog in the car in this hot weather, leave a bowl of water. The steam generated will keep the meat succulent and tender.

what if the real Brexit was all the prime ministers who resigned along the way?

And Starmer is gone. A good man in the wrong job. Like most of us, I suppose. Muddling through whilst hiding that we're very slightly out of our depth. Though we don't have the pleasure of the whole world constantly pointing it out.

Fuck me, this is good

"It's called summer, look it up" says BrexitBulldog88 as he turns a fetching shade of crimson whilst sipping a hot can of Carling

Bloody hell, today is dragging on a bit long isn't it?

The ceasefire must be going well, two B1s have just screamed out of Fairford.

So in an annoying turn of events the local garage who were supposed to drop our car back last night after the MOT... didn't. So we'll be a little late @littlemavis.bsky.social

On Clarkson's Farm, Jeremy is gutted about the driest spring on record and the absolutely terrible harvest. If only someone had used their enormous platform across TV and newspapers to talk about climate change over 20 years, rather than actively denying it and laughing at things that might help.

I'm listening to this and there is no better playlist for a sunny day

Our milkman delivers between 1.30am and 2am Can anyone beat that?

I can hear engines from Fairford. They're probably just bored ans doing doughnuts on the runway.

This is an embarrassing image for the UK. A self-respecting British fox should be dragging Binface's contents out over the stage

Congratulations to Andy Burnham for winning The Masked Singer.

The Makerfield result proves that what I said about politics was right all along

Oh well. If the bloke from The Bear is on board I think that's the end of it?

Looking forward to the old soccer tonight. They lads have gone and put in the work, and the proof of the pudding is in the game. They need to remember it's a game of two halves, and just give it all they've got. At the end of the day the best team or the one who scores most will win it.

1. Coventry 2. In a threshing machine 3. Cat Sanctuary 4. Underwater 5. Up your arse

I'm not sure it has?

Fingers crossed for a turn around

Time to fire this up and get all the kids on there

A man has had to be violently removed from the train for having the audacity to board with a road legal and widely sold electric bike. We're now 10 minutes late and counting

I'm just leaving Apple HQ after an interesting day. Collected my jacket from the hanger and for some reason there's a U2 album in each pocket?

You can control your kids Instagram account, by the way. If you don't, that's your problem.

I've written something about why banning kids from social media could be a terrible idea. paulbernal.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/b...

What a weird story. She's not leaving Radio 2, so did not say farewell to it. She hasn't filmed anything, since it's radio. And also her show is live.

A generation of children confined to exclusively posting on LinkedIn, humbled to share that they have been recognised as thought leaders in vertically integrating your mom's supply chain.

I am ON A TRAIN But... Where I am going?

Wait. They're actually *listing* the apps teens are banned from rather than writing a definition of apps that would come under the rules?! That's a great way for new apps to appear and hoover up a few million new users.

Ok, but where is the mediocre pop tune with some white English footballers awkwardly rapping over the middle 8? We're simply not a serious country anymore

Again

Compton Verney is a lovely treat

So whilst carrying out a one policy that has zero evidence to back it up (social media ban), they're not carrying out a different policy that has loads of evidence to back it up. Government by anti-logic.

What a stupid, boneheaded, ignorant, blinkered, knee-jerk, counterproductive and dangerous load of total arse. (Parents - if you'd rather your kids spent less time on their phones, try parenting them)

I'm not sure "just turn it into the cost of doing business" is a solution. It'd be like the Bullingdon Club smashing up a restaurant then paying for it.

This story is "someone's phone went off in a theatre, nothing else happened"

We can now spy on the birds. We are hoping to catch the woodpecker tomorrow. And are going to move the camera to have a look for toads overnight

If they can't find spares in the PE teacher's cupboard, they'll have to play in their school shoes. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Put some Erasure on, and this header picture on Spotify makes them look like they're reviewing a substandard ITV drama on Gogglebox

"the stadium was packed with people, but after spending thousands of dollars to attend the event, many fans chose not to actually watch the game"

Which of these looks best?

The green category in Connections today is infuriating, because one of those things is not true.

Are we really going to go here? Women given 20 year’s notice that their retirement age would increase to 65 in line with men being seen at the victims of some great injustice? Paid for by people who will probably get nothing, certainly not before 70, and won’t own their own homes?
