Laughing at my own jokes. Sleep fiend. I ain't got much technique, but I sure have a lousy tone. A clear sense of personal involvement. He/him.

My dad died this morning and I'm slightly teetering on the verge of being a fucking wreck.

Slightly baffled at some Greens' seeming enthusiasm for the AWL to come in and wreck their party.

A tweet by Darren Johnson: 

I will never stop believing in the reality of biological sex and the need to protect single sex spaces but big chunks of the Gender Critical movement have become a complete binfire radicalised by ugly rightwing populism. New MP Hannah Spencer should not be hounded like this. 

Which quotes one by Politics UK:

🚨 WATCH: Green MP Hannah Spencer is forced into a police car after anti-trans protesters fight in front of her in Manchester

Nah fuck off you don't get to do this when your fash mates play out their violent authoritarianism a bit too obviously.

She bangs on about immigration all the time. Really rewriting the rules of what home secretaries do there.

A post from today by The Economist: 

Their policies would make Britain poorer. Both are sceptical of multinationals, trade and building anything anywhere near anyone. For the parties of the centre, the sensible response would be to offer policies to boost growth

There's a link to an article headlined 

Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski: best of frenemies 

Yes really. The subhead reads 

Britain's twin populists have a symbiotic relationship 

It's illustrated with a thumbnail picture showing Farage and Polanski holding hands against a pink background.

The cabinet suddenly realising that they've simply not done enough growth.

The woolliness of "fair and managed migration" - which to me would basically mean unrestricted - doesn't inspire much confidence.

Captain Birdseye

Captain Birdseye must decide.

Does he back the UK standing with Ukraine against Russian aggression, or does he align with Trump's isolationist appeasement of Putin? There is no sitting on the fence.

I spent a gazillion quid on a new laptop a few months ago and will be extremely annoyed if I have to give Bill Gates loads of money per month to carry on using the fucking thing.

A tweet by me from about 18 months ago: 

Call my call my call my blu-u-uff 
Call my call my call my blu-u-uff 
Call my call my call my blu-u-uff 
Just. Call. My fucking bluff

Caught the end on BBC4 last night.

A tweet by Darren Johnson: 

I've joined @UKLabour. As an environmentalist and left-leaning social democrat, my views are now far closer to Labour than the increasingly radicalised Greens and are much better reflected in the work of people like Ed Miliband and Sadiq Khan than by Zack Polanski or Mothin Ali. 

There's then an image of his welcome email from Labour.

News from the other place. (Context for younger readers: this geezer was in the Greens for ages and sat on the London Assembly for several years, then he retired, started a very uninteresting music blog and became an increasingly belligerent transphobe.)

Election Maps UK: 

It's just 1 poll (for now) - but here's how it plays out in the Nowcast Model:

RFM: 227 (+222)
GRN: 135 (+131)
LDM: 92 (+20)
CON: 59 (-62)
SNP: 48 (+39)
LAB: 40 (-371)
PLC: 20 (+16)
Others: 10 (+5) 

(then there's the top bit of a map of a UK with parliamentary seats coloured orange and yellow)

227+92+59+40 makes a very comfortable majority actually.
