#nottheonion - tbf most disabled spaces in Birmingham are filled with Audi and BMW usually with tints and ghost plates and boombox speakers but this does seem a bit extreme

PSA - M&S are selling Russets. This shouldn’t be a big deal, but Asda stopped a couple of years back and every other supermarket about a decade ago in my (not exhaustive) experience

council by-election in a bijou ward, but less than 5% vote for Reform in #moseley

it’s a long way off, could be a different world by then. I really don’t think Reform will get a majority but they could be the largest single party and will feel privileged and emboldened by Trump’s triumphs. Potentially some very scary times ahead but all the more reason to oppose them?!

the best tribute the world could ever have for Dave Ball would be for David Gray to delete his assassination of Say Hello Wave Goodbye from all streaming services and to incinerate the master tapes

I have tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I often just put it on for ten minutes… but must just have hit a run recently: definitely three times running of absolutely tedious bollocks.
