Given he ripped shreds off the Reform guy, the test will be whether they ever ask him back.

Pleased to confirm that my words are in @wsc.co.uk this month, I barely even need you to guess on what subject.

Anyone thinking Murray is β€˜independent’ needs to pay more attention.

Call it what it is. Don't wriggle around it. Ask Jenrick how he squares his racism with Kemi as leader. It was the same with misogyny when Thatcher was PM. Cognitive dissonance.

Jenrick didn’t mention those. He honed in on colour. Plenty of white skinned people have their own way of dressing and shopping. Try again.

Cognitive dissonance rules. Post-post-postmodernism allows us to make up realities totally detached from any logic whatsoever.

Preview: Leeds United host Spurs in lunchtime kick off Inconsistent Leeds take on stuttering Tottenham in an early Saturday kick-off in which they may just cancel each other out.

Half an hour left before this goes hopelessly, uselessly out of date.

Graham Potter was a symptom of West Ham United's lack of identity Graham Potter was the worst possible managerial appointment for West Ham, but this was unsurprising, considering that the club itself seems to have mislaid its soul.

Wrote a thing about Graham Potter, West Ham, and a loss of identity last night, whose plight says something broader about london in the 21st century, I reckon.

Has anybody considered the problems of using #AI when the power goes down? The relevance of #climatechange seems pertinent here. #NHS #Starmerspeech #Labourconference

A quick note to say that I am available for freelancing work. Because frankly I'm not getting enough through at the moment.

If the government really wanted to thwart Farage’s boot boys they would fly Union/ St George flags on every building in sight.

Which is why the two party system is crap. It needs to be either one or many.

Is that by constituency or as % of population?
Not that it surprises me - if anyone is Boaty McBoatface it’s Farage.

I’m a Labour party member, in a non-Labour constituency. Tactical voting got the Tory out and the Lib Dem in. I haven’t attended a constituency meeting since before the election, but will do this week. We need to control the discourse, not be controlled by it. Something is very wrong if we don’t.

Single parenthood and I: the time goes by so quickly, yet also so slowly Old kid turns ten years old tomorrow, and if that isn't a time for slightly mournful reflection, when is?

Older kid turns ten years old tomorrow, so I wrote this about that decade.

Some of are paralysed BECAUSE we are scared. If no one sticks up for our right to counter far-right’s arguments because of fear of their response where is free speech then?

I can’t express how much these people anger me. The fear of speaking out, even though I look OK to them, is bad enough. And therein lies the problem.
