It’s up there with ‘this one’ and ‘yes Fam’ as degenerate art.

I actually think the BBC Brexit documentary is too soon, I simply don’t believe enough of them are willing to be honest yet.

'I'm also starting to have serious doubts that Dave really ment it when he said we were "all in this together".'

Shocked to learn that permanently online people, endlessly sharing videos of their own lives and vanity hauls, do not, in fact, have any friends.

What next huh? Hayley Atwell as Marple?

'Reduce your enemies to Goop'

The entrails.

Admittedly, moving from BBC Comedy podcasts & 19th-century audiobooks to more upbeat music has, sadly, improved my gym performance. I had hoped to get healthier, rather languidly.

Like clockwork

Episodes 5-9 in every Netflix IP.

Jeremy Hunt is literally craving the limelight at the moment on account of his book, how.. HOW is nobody at Labour Comms aiming a goddamned missile of 'HIS FAULT' squarely at his permanently surprised expression.

Farage has to keep changing his position because he ultimately keeps getting what he wants: Brexit - Achieved, clusterfuck IEA-Liz Truss Free Market Budget achieved, clusterfuck Migration numbers drastically down - achieved, impeding clusterfucks in higher education, care & hospitality.

2 - Ranch dressing is foul and cottage cheese is a war crime.

It would make an editor at Vremya blush.

The twist being he always chooses poorly.

''When I finished reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, I had a newfound respect for US factory practices''

Vietnam, Mì Quảng, Bánh Cuốn or Bò Né. Ideally with an International Herald Tribune.

I know how we got here

The way to think about the SpaceX IPO is that it's like the 1990's Russian privatisations, but in reverse.

UnHerd effectively becoming a trendy bible group for people with Summer homes doesn't feel particularly radical to me. It's just St. George's House for those who think Oxfam is a scam.

Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle springs to mind. I wonder if it’s as good as I recall? I’d like a better adaption of Strange & Norrell tbf. Failing that; Wes Anderson’s ‘Thank You Jeeves’.

Every man Jack of them have a ‘spoiled Montessori child flailing in Wagamama’ energy

Bloke on the next bike in the gym wearing a ‘DILF HUNTER’ t-shirt.

Your reminder that from next Friday, the event of the Summer - yes, the South Downs Beer festival in Lewes begins.

Met a prospective ‘Restore’ voter in the pub. Classic archetype - tradesman who works most of the year in Benidorm (tax arrangements tbc). Hasn’t voted since Thatcher. Charged that Restore were ‘English Nazis’ & he said ‘sure, but Rupert will get things done’. It’s the stagnation that’s the issue.

To be fair he’s living in a tent in Salford.

This is a bit sad, partly an effect I suspect of second-hand disposable fast fashion being essentially worthless. The last time I found something really decent in a charity shop was now two years ago.

Farmers will look at this list and be like 'shot it mate'

Again this view being 'of the quiet majority' is complete and total horseshit that a subset of deeply sad, lonely individuals want us to adopt.

‘There could be Civil War’ discourse always comes from people who are a bit bored at home, can’t communicate effectively and for whom Civil War would be something to do.

It is rather odd that the Tories seem to be giving up on the Middle-Classes, isn't it? Not just culturally, but economically.

"Aye, still there. Another fine days work"

"This museum is UNSINKABLE!" "What an odd thing to say..." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Everyone's strapped for cash and we haven't put the infrastructure into half of the country.

I'm fairly sure the Hove Tesco has the worst selection of Beer of any Tesco.

Not to flog my own person dead horse but this is the consequence of the fact this country doesn't actually know how to talk about it's own very specific relationship with race and would therefore prefer to talk about MLK and George Floyd than Dr Moody, Notting Hill, Brixton and Stephen Lawrence

At the base of it, a lot of British media have noticed that polarising, American discourse is very profitable.

Decades of policy argument over a sub 6% decrease. Sigh.

My prediction? Farage wants to be PM for 2 years, so he can pull the same crypto-scams as the Trump household. He'll launch a 'GB Coin' backed by the Bank of England under the guise of patriotic favour and then dump it, causing irreparable damage to UK PLC.

We're at a point where quite a substantial section of British columnists would now view David Cameron's Government as 'to the left of Brezhnev.'

I don't know how many times I said it in the run up to the election, but when a Left-wing party gets into power, it' must run like smoke & oakum, Blair absolutely understood this. Stop fretting about the Mail & The Times, they're never going to like you & only respect winners - not unlike the public

we are absolutely fucked unless this process is somehow pushed into reverse, because otherwise the only hope is 'the left (as very broadly defined) wins elections forever', which is a bit of an ask

Absolutely exceptional public relations work from our senior tech leaders.

Strong May 1931 vibes.

This very week Michael Grade admitted he went soft on GBNews breaking the rules because they project 'majority views' this excuse is being wheeled out again and again to give them a free pass.

'Nigel speaks for the people' He really sodding doesn't. He is not the majority; this assumption must stop, and broadcasters must challenge it.

All the mythologies in the new God of War DLC!

Yet more great PR for AI - 'we're going to weigh your future soul as a totalitarian Anubis'.

I've come back from the Gym to find, very sadly, that my elderly neighbour Peter has died, a lovely man with a wicked sense of humour. The Ambulance crew and his son were outside the flat, which meant I had to pass on my condolences, completely drenched in my obscenely short gym shorts. Sorry Peter
