“We shouldn’t spend billions on repair because the public won’t support us spending money on ourselves” will prove a very short-sighted view when the place burns down and the public is furious that a national icon has been destroyed through negligence

Unfortunately it’s an FPTP system and no one else is at 30%

William the Conqueror also died from complications from falling off a horse

Dangerous thing, horse riding

Worst person you know just made an excellent point

The graveyard of American politics is filled with “future presidents”

No social media before 15 or after 65. A sensible policy for a happier Britain

This makes no sense. If you’re frightened of Reform why vote for them?

If there was an election tomorrow I probably would vote Labour, but if another party looks most likely to keep Reform out I’ll 100% vote for them

They ordered about 20 million copies and sold about 4 million

Somehow Razor Crest returned

Both the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man films definitely had audiences going “Why is this school filled with grown adults?”. I don’t think a child being 13 and playing 11 is *that* big a deal and will certainly get less noticeable as the years go on

Hardly surprising given that their brand of populism runs on victimhood and petty grievance

Bar now high enough to trip over

Also they know they’ll never actually have to do it

It’s all very end stage Johnson isn’t it

Sounds remarkably like Dominic Cummings

Morgan McSweeney has resigned

Labour lost its way some time around the dawn of complex society circa 4000 BCE

Voters: We want stability

Also voters: We just exist on a default setting of thinking the Prime Minister should resign

Much Ado About Nothing and Great Expectations were the only two pieces of literature that I had to study at school and didn’t come away absolutely hating

I flew into Schiphol in 2023 and Fiumicino in 2024. Wildly different experiences

At Schiphol the wait was 90 minutes. At Fiumicino there wasn’t one

Worst border wait time was 2 hours at Tokyo Narita but obviously that’s nothing to do with the EU

On the flip side the Leave campaign would 100% have painted that as “Europe trying to tell us what to do”

I recognise the face but the name escapes me completely

100% thought he was older than my father - who is 61

Personal prediction: McSweeney will be gone soon, probably within weeks, and Starmer will follow him after the locals

No idea who becomes Labour leader since it can’t be Andy Burnham (who would definitely have won any contest had he been able to stand)

Wythenshawe

Is … is that one? Did I do it?

My wife is from Hanmersmith

I’ve never stayed there longer than a week but that basically means I live there, right?

The Egyptian Greggs has a phenomenal view

Yes. That is how tariffs work

“He has a mildly successful podcast” is surely indefensible even by the current standards of the BBC
