It will come as zero surprise to anyone that the 'intellectual Conservative' circuit, which has had a crush on everyone from Pinochet to Putin is putting it out there that vibes-based Monarchy, where boot-licking courtiers & dead-eyed generals excel, might be the answer to our Democratic woes.

Right, but I think to come out in favour of verification and accountability is not something that would go down well with his own crowd. Those factors in themselves are grouped with the whinging liberal bureaucracy. Those rotten electorates will be much happier with 'vibe-monarchy' (because he is).

In the full tradition of Scruton then.

''Welcome to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg where I'm joined by Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski in the studio. We'll also be talking to Kemi Badenoch about her polling numbers and will ask the question, why is Jeremy Corbyn more popular than Kier Starmer?

Ed Davey wasn't busy, we just... well''

I mean, if you take the assumption that Britain has been driven mad by the plague of xenophobic tapeworms in all our brains, you will be able to guess why.

This raises exactly the right questions, including the role in the oversight of BBC editorial standards of people who work in PR, rather than, say, full-time journalists:

One day we might just get a series of Wes Anderson's Jeeves & Wooster shorts for Apple.

('Ben Schott and Sebastian Faulks, no strangers to the stocking-filler market' - is a fantastically bitchy line as well)

Thatcherism, that's all folks.

My working theory is that the Communications people know the press will spin it into elitism. But I agree, the pretence is worse.

THAT REFORM KCC FINANCIAL PLAN IN FULL:

"We will find £20 million in savings, so we do not need to increase council tax."

"We could not find them."

"We are bankrupt."

Not coming to the front page of The Telegraph.

Cricket is infinitely faster.

On that basis, I think we can all agree that NFL is simply the worst sport ever devised.

That American politics went off the rails after Barack Obama and British ethnonationalism has reared its head after Rishi Sunak is the real tell about how committed some people are to integration and post racial politics.

They may as well post this headline once a week.

It was always funny watching Cameron & Johnson in particular struggle with football a bit, when they clearly just wanted to talk about their respective sports, rugby and cricket in Cameron's case (Major did well on that front) and shagging French cafe staff for Johnson.

I always had them down as a sort of Scots Talmud but that feels in the same orbit.

''... I want to talk to you about how Better Help was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. With the code:SKINSHED10 you can get a 10%...''

Snow in Brighton. The end times have come.

The topic of immigration is a carnivorous tapeworm eating the collective British mind.

#OnThisDay 1943: wonderfully acidic Zec cartoon on the news that the British fascist leader, Oswald Mosley, was being released from prison on the grounds of ill-health...

Yeah, we've instituted a policy of avoiding it for data info at work now.

Does feels like the time that we might need to publicly address the very real crisis of optimism in the country. A distinct feeling of somewhere like Gdansk in roughly 1978.

''Good riddance''

I cannot stress how little I want to hear from Rachel Johnson, Boris Johnson or any other member of that albino morlock freakshow of a family.

There’s a couple of Douglas’ to choose from in that criteria as well
