The more I've seen Groundhog Day, the more I have understood how much Andie MacDowell's acting is key to it. She has strength and lightness as an actor; conviction in everything she does. A beautiful performance.

Not often I think Hitchens is right.

But, as a nation, everyone, of all politics, should get on board with opposing Trump’s America.

Marcel Lucont - poem - Wine In A Can
YouTube video by Marcel Lucont Marcel Lucont - poem - Wine In A Can

My initial thought is marginal convenience aside, there's not enough wine in a can.
But also...

Blimey. She’s off message. Might be fired.

I wonder if Tice and Oakeshott secretly sicken each other. If not today, they will tomorrow.

Aside from the wine in a can business, the name and the fact that it is some sort of club is not great. But I think it’s American - a Ross Johnson product!

Was it any good? Strong?

I could never never drink cider or snakebites without getting very sick after 1 or 2, behaving badly and puking.

I’d be interested to get your feedback on French Kiss.

Not signing up then? I came across this as I’m re-reading Barbarians at the Gate. It was a Ross Johnson idea!

It’s a great book.

Johnson used to thank people for their BGO in meetings. They had to find out what it stood for. Blinding glimpse of the obvious.

Steve Hilton is running for Governor in California.

He was Cameron's adviser, satirised in The Thick Of It as Stewart Pearson, the 'communication guru'. ("yes and ho!")

However, whereas Stewart was quite likeable, Hilton is a total cunt. California beware.

What changed Nigel?
Did you ring your orange rapist friend (one of many rapist friends) and ask him to criticise the UK government?

I am sorry he doesn’t get more appreciation - although he has plenty of faults too

Starmer characterises Badenoch at #PMQs

β€˜Moments like this define a leader of the opposition, they can either stand up, act in the national interest and show they are fit to be prime minister or they can expose their utter irrelevance. She has chosen the second.’

It won’t be long now until Russian asset, Donald Trump uses the lack of support he’s had over illegally invading Iran to pull America out of NATO.

The pre-withdrawal rhetoric will start very soon

I had a listen, liked the first 2 songs then drifted off a bit on the third. He hasn't got Fagen's knack of a song and lyric and the reggae sound on the third felt like a sound not a song. Didn't he live in Hawaii? LA or NY must be more stimulating for song writing. I should listen to the rest tho!

Starmer and Labour’s best option is to get the UK as close as possible back into EU.

Ignore your enemies, re-find your friends

I believe Reform types should be forced or encouraged to fuck off back to their rat holes.

Not heard or seen this before. I was 'what's all this nonsense?' at the start and 'wow that was amazing' by the end. I don't know why. But what a sound. What a band.

It’s pretty disgusting that β€˜Pete’ only talks about Americans dying. Everyone else can go fuck.

He’s a slimy piece of work. There are many other far better potential leaders for the Dems than this fence-sitting, play it safe careerist
