@lbc.co.uk Please can your newsreaders get their dollars and euros round the right way - twice today I've heard "The pound is worth 1.17 dollars and 1.34 euros" Thank goodness you're not in finance.

If Andy Burnham were to become PM (get it right, Spellcheck)and Count Binface were to become MP for Clacton, would Burnham be forward-enough thinking to apoint Count Binface as Chancellor? Even as an Independent MP, Count Binface would not be barred from holding such a post. He would be brilliant.

Apparently, Count Binface will be on Andrew Marr's LBC show this evening! 6pm, must listen. Or catchup on Global Player.

“Leave means leave…” 👏👏👏

So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com

nuff said

But the people of Clacton have already voted. Now Farage wants them to vote again. 🤔 The people of UK have already voted on Brexit. Why can't we vote again?

And another great bike ride, I'm definitely on a roll. But it was 41⁰ out on the road, and though I double layered the sunscreen, I left the bottle in the kitchen - duh! Think I'd better take a rest day tomorrow.

And yes, I did my 69-mile bike ride yesterday to celebrate my 69th birthday last week. 🎈 Strangely, my arms ache but my legs don't. Nicely uneventful, with just a few bike tweaks needed en route. And 32⁰ but it felt cool on the bike. But I've set a precedent <gulp>. And is this August 69.08 miles?

Yes!! I had to try hard though! www.maptap.gg July 3 56😕 74🌞 6😭 20🧊 0😭 Final score: 202

OMFG Look, everyone, he can carry a chair! National news 😳🙄🙄🙄🙄

Just making an observation👇

The Israeli ambassador protested the publication of this clip on social media platforms and asked some companies to delete it entirely. Let's make it go viral around the world (Recorded by B’Tselem, OpsHQs)

Blatant lobbying, not for the sake of our country, but for the fossil fuel industry, in which almost all the ultrarich - including, in all likelihood, the proprietors of these newspapers - are heavily invested. These people are not and never will be your friends. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Today I am celebrating my first year without TV since my eyes were able to watch it as a baby. Am I mad? Nope. I sleep so much better, no more late night/early morning films. And I'm around £175 better off. And all the phishing letters pretending to come from TV-licensing havent got a chance 😂!

Great fun - I'll be 69 by Saturday, and AI has planned a sixty-nine mile cycle ride through the Chilterns for the day. Then next year, it can plan me a 70-miler. Early start, lots of sports sun-cream, and plenty of water-fill-up stops. Sunday will be more humid, so it will truly be a day of rest.

Its not often that vandalism makes me smile, but...

Farage Broke Britain #RefUKkers

Wow, my poor fan must be exhausted. Looking forward to giving it a rest tomorrow. 🌥🌤

The Leonard Cohen Estate has learned that the song “Hallelujah” is to be performed at a Donald Trump rally on June 24. This use is not authorized, and the Estate does not support or approve of this or any similar usage.

This is beyond dangerous. What would we do without our EU-origin friends and neighbours? It's time to start scaring your hard-of-thinking acquaintances and family members with what will happen to them when there are no doctors/nurses/care staff left. We have to stop R*form now.

28.8⁰ outside, so still warmer out than in. I want to open all windows, but not yet. You know we'll all feel bloody cold next week, won't we?

Makes you want to go out and buy a car or truck, don't it?

Friday's heat alert has now turned RED. You heard it first here - yesterday! 😂)

I'm confident nobody will share this.

My, it's humid, I mean IT'S HUMID. Got out of my car (I'd driven with the air con on) and my glasses steamed up !!!

It's officially the hottest June day ever. We know who is to blame. Fossil fuel firms. The billionaire media. Weak politicians. We know what we must do. Rapid decarbonisation & adaptation for a healthier, wealthier country safe for future generations.

😃🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 I've blocked off 12 sq.m of sliding south-facing glass patio doors with some old sliding wardrobe doors, and the difference is gorgeous. Hopefully it'll affect the upstairs temperature by tonight. I never liked the view since they built there anyway!

OMG. He's resigning, but Bloody Badenoch isn't going to treat him with respect or defer to the moment. God, I hate this woman.

Farage: "The British public are fed up with this game of musical chairs in Downing Street. They deserve a General Election." And how is a GE going to stop the game of musical chairs - it just extends it by another round, doesnt it?

OMF it's hot out there, I've just put the bins out and didnt realise how cool my house was inside. Now Friday has had its temperature forecast upgraded - is it going to be a third red warning day in row?

What thunderstorms? 🌩 Slept right through them! Ah well, the garden needed the rain anyway. Spare a thought for poor France over the next three days - at times it's just a solid red lump.

Farage got £5,000,000 tax-free. What did we get? Fucked-up, that's what we got. Dont ever let this man influence national policy again!

Ooh, 29⁰C and it's raining. Think I'll pop out on my patio and have a shower.

Whatever people think domestically, as a statesman on the world stage Keir Starmer was exemplary

Why is the radio intent on twisting the knife by telling us that Keir Starmer is Labour's shortest serving Prime Minister. He will have served 788 days. That's 1,508% longer than Liz Truss's 49 day farce.

Even for me, who sleeps like a corpse on hot nights (corpses sleep better than babies), 29.3⁰ in the bedroom was a bit warm last night. So I have two really large plastic containers of water in the freezer already for tonight, and the silent fan can blow air over giant ice cubes all night 🥶

I understand the effect of wind-chill and humidity on subjective temperature, but on Wednesday we have a " temp = 36⁰, feels like 37⁰". Huh? NB: on Thursday we have a 38⁰, which is above human body temperature, so we should all throw our clothes off as they are no longer needed to keep us warm.

Morning Blueskyers. Happy Longest Day! From now on the nights start drawing in, and the days get shorter, and before you know it, the shops will be full of Back to School and Christmas cards and trying to get you to spend even more on things you neither need nor want. So enjoy today & stay cool.

😲😮😮 On Reddit, I suggested an electric fence to keep cats away from someone's vegetable plot, and I got moderated for "encouraging violence to animals" !

It's a mystery how she only lasted six weeks

Northern Ireland is outperforming the rest of the UK because Northern Ireland still has unrestricted access to the EU. Let's avail of all the benefits of the EU and rejoin through Irish Unity. www.irishnews.com/news/busines...

Wow. If Michelle Obama is a man, then what the hell, I'm suddenly gay!

Memo to pretty much (but obviously not quite) everybody in the media…

You wish is Nigel's command....

Indeed

Im not staying up to hear the result of the by-election. Why? Because there isn't a single radio station which isn't worshipping Reform and spending the evening interviewing selected idiots with a consolidated IQ of 85 or less.
