Good morning

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

More and more it seems that my comedy career has suffered due to my daily schecule not putting me in a position to encounter baristas all that often.

If I were Starmer and I really wanted to make a splash at PMQs, I'd load the Mandelson Files into t-shirt cannons and have Black Rod et al come in and fire them all over the chamber like it's a break in play at an American sport.

Locked away under Jim Henson's mansion there's a huge vault full of 'demo' Muppets

[Spotting some shit on the pavement]: now that's vintage Keir

BREAKING: Defiant Starmer changes state from vapour to 'viscous, determined' liquid - Powell

Just to save time: both the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and incoming Prime Minister, Wes Streeting, have my full confidence and should be allowed to get on with the job they were elected/unelected to do - making Britain children future together now.

Sunday operating at full capacity

Tough few weeks incoming for Ned Pointsman, who appears to've dined at the Epstein residence on a number of occasions

Nonsense!

Remembering Geoff Hoon (he's still alive, I am just remembering him). Any of my Hoonheads got some Hoonstories?

A special birthday shoutout for my beloved lads - four today and blissfully unaware of it.

After Mark Carney's bold speech standing up to US hegemony, I'm delighted that I will finally be able to wear the Davos lapel pin I picked up from a market for £2 with pride. Viva Davos - it's good again! Hoping for a similar reprieve for my Bilderberg mug.

sorry i only drink vimto for men. thats the one with the gun on the packaging
