Wasn’t there a task in The Apprentice where know-nowts made face masks and it dyed everybody’s face green? Do these people know anything about skin treatments? 🤷♂️

The press are all over Nicola Sturgeon, who was investigated and released without charge. So glad all I did was take £5 million to become an MP, £1m to throw an election, make a couple of dodgy house purchases and lie about Russia hacking my phone.

That word EXCLUSIVE needs some attention. It presents as ‘Groundbreaking and Significant’ but here means ‘Complete non-story manufactured bollocks that nobody else would demean themselves with’.

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK

Hang on… Adam disinherited, so storms out of Home Farm again. Wasn’t he working at the dairy at one stage and presuming to supervise? He could be in there with Helen, and it blows up. 💥 🦅 🦅 🪨 How combustible are dairies?

Delightful though Adam being told to do one is, can we just note that Ruairaidh was the running sore in the first 80% of all this and has quietly scuttled off to live and work elsewhere and hasn’t been heard in weeks. I think we’ve been had.

What with Bert and Carol, I’m sensing there was a meeting a few months back when they said: ‘You know what we need? More stroppy miserableness’. Who are these people? Does no-one speak out against?

Reform are very good at moving the goalposts. They said they’d win Gorton and Denton (lost by 12pts), win Wales (lost by 6pts), destroy the Tories in 2026 (PNS rose vs 2025) and win six London boroughs (won one). Each time journalists concluded those outcomes were clear from the outset

wd spend as much time on policy discussion+crucially,to asking voters what policies they know, understand+what trade offs they’d accept,as vibes+personalities. If they were better informed by broadcasters, the country might improve.

At a No 10 briefing today we heard about the government's commitment to "a whole-of-society response to antisemitism”. Asked if this might involve the government leaving X, where antisemitism is not only rife but monetlised, were were told it is "something we always keep under review." So: no.
