Goodwin excels in accepting his own arse as a booby prize in G&D. Ha ha ha ha….

In case you missed it…here’s the facts-only version of SOTU

The media are painting Gorton & Denton as a referendum on Starmer. But it’s not. It’s a referendum on Farage.

Mad 48 hours. Truck was scrapped. Had to get another, pronto. Got an Isuzu D Max, bashed to fuck by cows (one owner, cattle farmer) mechanically perfect. Looks like shit. Spent today pushing out dents, I will resurrect this truck, just watch.

My truck got scrapped today. The engine blew up. I really liked it. Ffs

I bought this Squier Tele in 1989 new for £120. Recently the plastic nut disintegrated so I dropped a new bone Replacement in. It’s got Monty’s ‘69 hand wound pups in it now with a custom wiring loom. It sounds lovely and I’m very fond of it

Cmon Greggs!

So faced with a winnable election in a previously safe Labour seat Nigel Farage picked: - A Tommy Robinson-backed oddball, with a history of racism and alleged sexual harassment - A holocaust-denying campaign manager who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman" Reform is not a serious operation

My pick up just broke down, had to get a tow, 10 miles, no brakes no power steering, sketchy as hell. Today is NOT a good day.

I’ve just spent an hour attempting to sign into my HMRC tax account. Authenticator apps, passport authentication. Dozens of “one time only codes” and now they say “please call us”. I am going to avail myself of a spikey cudgel and go berserk. Before breakfast.

I’m playing another gig this summer. That is all

Nigel Farage is welcome to give his colleagues new name badges but it won't change the opinion of the country - that Conservatives, current or former, are totally unfit to govern.

Appointing Robert Jenrick as Reform UK's shadow chancellor should raise a few tens of thousands of pounds in donations from billionaire property developers keen to avoid £45m tax bills

Reform’s Matt Goodwin, candidate in the Gorton & Denton by-election, received a salary from a Far Right propaganda group linked to Hungary’s Orban. Details below.

📌 ICYMI — Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to ‘Topple’ Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now"… https://bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/bannon-epstein-farage-and-johnson-and-the-plot-to-topple-theresa-may/

Today, Mrs C and I took the chainsaw and an ax into the woods to cut, split and load a bunch of wood. We are both still possessed of our lives and limbs. Marriage guidance counsellors take note..

We have new neighbours. We invited them for lunch. They have a toddler and were worried, we said “no problem” gave him a mountain of toys to fuck around with, he was fine. we drank a bunch of good wine. It was a good thing to do✌️

Coventry: a summary. The weather was shite (not Covs fault) The city is really fucking grim. There’s a pub, in the old town called the Old Windmill, which I have to say is the best pub I’ve been in, possibly ever. And, I KNOW pubs. Cov people are wonderful, welcoming and funny. 8/10, but a grim spot

Just had a pint in The Old Windmill, Coventry City centre. What an extraordinary, wonderful boozer

We’re going to Coventry today. I wish to point out that we’re not being sent there.

Perfect.

Me on high seat fixing duty in the driving rain. Cold as a MoFo

Out last night, this morning and tonight, filthy bastard weather! However, this carpet of snowdrops lifted the spirits, especially as there are daffodils in amongst them, budding like fury!

Serious question: If you are a white person and you only use the “White hand” emojis, not the generic yellow version, what does this say? I have a few friends who do it and it feels like a “statement” or am I being a twat?

I miss pork belly. I’d roast 20kg of pork belly a week at the pub. I haven’t had any for 10 fuckin’ months. This cannot be right.

Meself and the lady did a private dinner party for 8 the other night, in someone else’s kitchen, first one we’ve done. It was a lot of fun. Could’ve played cricket in the kitchen it was so big.

Absolutely NO LIES TOLD....

It just dawned on me: I'm not in the Epstein files. Are you? Let us know if you're not in the Epstein files.

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

Just finished reading this. Fuck. Trump is in charge. Fuck. Shan’t sleep right ever again. Fuck. Hegseth. Fucking Fuck.

I’m going to the newly launched backgammon night at the boozer, haven’t played for the thick end of 40 yrs, was quite good in my 20s. It’ll nice to have a pint

Greg Bovino, cosplay Gestapo leader, fired. Soon to be appearing in the stage version of ‘Allo ‘Allo at the Palace theatre Matlock (it says here)

🤣🤣

There’s a movie about Melanie Trump? Seriously? Fuck me, what a joke😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Mrs has just brought me my supper. Mixed beans and asparagus and stuff with Cajun chicken and two fried eggs on top. She is, my friends, a keeper…

Xx

“We defected to Reform by mistake!”

Suella Braverman remains the only home secretary ever to be sacked for inciting fascist violence

🤷‍♂️😲

Homemade venison pastrami, grated Parmesan and a drizzle of truffle oil, on toast. Breakfast

The lad’s playing in the seconds for his post injury rehab protocol. Off to Esher RFC. Mrs musing about the availability, or not, of sausage rolls. They do a bacon butty and coffee for £5. This, apparently, does NOT cut it

When we ran the pub, after the British army’s deployment to Helmand, we would see soldiers come back, with their young families following amputation. It was tragic. They were always brave and gracious. There isn’t an expletive in the lexicon, adequately unpleasant to describe Trump. POS.

Farage has the unbelievable nerve to talk at Davos about Britain’s “moral decline”. This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline. He’s betrayed our country for self-interest, prejudice and greed. Shame on everyone who’s allowed that. #NeverPM www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Farage only apologised because he got caught. He's just a shabby crook!

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 THIS! Time some ethics wonk in Parlt grew a spine! #farage

Not newspaper commentators but some useful receipts on the intensely dismal politicians who call themselves patriots.
