Batting 10, for the first time in nearly two decades of junior & senior cricket, I hit the winning runs in a game

Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant.

His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom.

But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague.

We will miss him terribly.

Much much too early

I mean, it is a FAFO poll so I don't much believe it, but... 🎉

It will be a week before Starmer comes out with a mealy-mouthed response too

Literally just been to London at the invitation of the literal fucking King.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the USA.

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

Until McSweeny gets sacked, I think. Which probably isn't before they take a pasting in the next local elections

Yeah I hate it change it back

It is Cardiff East, there's no central. West, North, East, South & Penarth.

Going to be a very useful resource, thanks @jenheemstra.bsky.social!

Shot, chaser

Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

I don't know about the 'woke mind virus' but I think there is an 'X mind virus' and it has infected a lot of people!

The Jellyfish has been sacked hahaha finally 😂

Tbf Starmer looking almost as slimy and spineless

With McCullum in charge of England I reckon he's safe for a while yet. Doesn't really fit the 'Bazball vibe'

In the last 20 days Asa Tribe has scored 677 runs at an average of 338.5! 🇯🇪🏏

If it was going to be by geography it would probably be an East Mids team, though given Derbs, Leics and Northants are financially small I don't know if they could professionalise at the same rate

Yorkshire, Glamorgan, Middlesex - who's the 4th team expected to step up to T1?

Vote Green for bigger boobs? 😂

I know Labour has precendent for governing like this in the 1960s but really who had the way Starmer is governing actually in mind when they voted Labour in 2024. One of the reasons this is so depressing is nobody wanted this, we rejected it in 2024, and got it anyway

Elaborate?

Based polling

You can plug it in to the calculator on the election maps website

Today's lesson is UK corporate culture will favour a glossy presentation with limited substance over process-improving science. Makes you wonder what the purpose of going above and beyond in chemistry is... #ChemSky

My annual performance review did not meet my expectations...

Poll the British Public on banning anything for U18s and they'll say yes

All but sure all of SW1 is egging on Reeves to fail. Addicted to that Westminster soap opera
