“I stood up in an exam…” and wrecked everyone else’s concentration.

There are just sooo many things wrong with this pathetic example.

The required response to any question asked in a BBC vox pop is either:

1. “They’re all the same.”
or
2. “Everything is much more expensive/getting worse.”

Never:
“I really haven’t a clue what you’re taking about as I know absolutely zero about the subject.”

OMG. I’m going to a West End theatre this evening - performance ends at 10pm.
Was planning to (bravely) walk to the tube afterwards.
Wearing jewellery.
On my own - a pensioner.
😆

Nige, you really need to get out more.
Enjoy buzzing, vibrant London.
Live a little….in 2025 not 1955. 😉

Virginia Woolf.
In fact you can throw in the whole Bloomsbury set as well.

Soooo unconventional….except they were all raging snobs.

So after that horrendous interview with ranting Israeli spokesman David Mencer the crucial question remains unanswered:

How are we going to save Gaza’s babies and children from starvation?

That’s it.

🚨 This morning we turned the street outside Labour Party Headquarters in London into Jabaliya camp in Gaza.

Listen to @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social talking about what the Israeli army did to his neighourhood and family.

How long does it take to trough down a crap burger?

“In this lovely happy-ever-after land there were no civil wars, no persecution of dissenters, just everybody treated equally. Why, even the Monarch could be a Catholic if s/he wanted.
And everything was just (war of) roses in the garden. The End.”

Lights out and sleepy time now children.

#Tice has his head down a coal mine.

Dickensian era economics.

It was like listening to an interview with a 12 year old with a very fragile ego.

And no mates.

So your uncle went to Blackrock College, the poshest private school in south Dublin?

Thank you for flagging this up. @quietriotpod.bsky.social def getting my vote also.

Dear Wes Streeting

Oh - are we back to Cottage Hospitals?

I’m young enough to remember them closing down…called old-fashioned. Not the way future health looked….etc etc. Local protests ignored.

We’ve now come full circle.

Wheel re-invention…yes, going round in circles.

Leave #RachelReeves alone.

It’s a personal matter.
End of.

Ask her about her economic plans. Probe and challenge - even make her squirm - but stop the bullying about private matters.

It’s none of our business.

Er….where did I suggest another referendum?

The majority of the UK population now acknowledge #Brexit was a mistake.

That needs to be acknowledged by the government as a first step towards rebuilding economic ties.

It won’t be a quick process.

Agree.

The biggest problem #Starmer faces is the lack of economic growth.

No room to do anything.

Time to stop denying the economic impact of #Brexit

#FBPE

What track should I start with?

#Glastonbury #Gladto #NeilYoung #CharliXCX

I get my pension next month and I’m feeling WAY too young for Neil Young’s music.

Might try listening to young Charli XCX’s tunes instead.

Gotta be better.

First on the list: fact-finding VIP trip to Glasto for him and all his mates.

It goes downhill from there.

#Reform #Warwickshire #18yearold

I’m a bit of a clairvoyant.

I foretell that once again the #NATO meeting will be all about #Trump. Exactly as he wants.

Impressive, eh? 🙄

#AllAboutTrump

Is that the Henley and Partners who specialise in helping rich people buy citizenship?

All legal, but very….uncomfortable.

“No, YOU can’t come in though you helped the British army in Afghanistan.”

“Dosh? Step back Sir, lest you trip over the unrolling red carpet.”

It was and still is just unbelievable.

It broke us apart.

OBR finds that its projection that Brexit would cost the country £40 billion have 'broadly materialised'.

Project Here.

Maybe it’s time to start stockpiling books.

Memo from Private Eye to our broadcasters

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

And Bannon.
The blessings flow.
