I saw somewhere that Wes Streeting's head alone weighs 16kg, the same as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Just the head, weighs that. Seems high, 16kg, but then you look at him and think maybe. People are saying it. Can anyone confirm?

I've seen enough arrogance, stupidity and nastiness from the so called centre of the political spectrum to last me a lifetime, with the upshot that I no longer care about giving nastiness back, sorry. I care about people doing the right thing.

The unintentional double meaning of the colon in the headline is nice here

The picture and the frame
If a picture frame gets broken, as the result of a minor earth tremor, you take the picture to a good picture framer and he makes it a frame that may be better than the original. But if a picture is ugly, as the result of some basic artistic flaw, and its frame remains intact, you will not need it unless you are short of wood for the stove. It is the same thing with an idea: if its frame is broken, you find a stronger, more solid one for it. But if the idea is broken, its sound frame will be no more than a sad memory you preserve like a frustrated shepherd who keeps the bell from one of his rams after it has been killed by wolves.

Lots of unedifying scrambling from the Big Brains as Starmer eats shit, to reassure us that he's still a Good Man and it's all very sad, because if he's not a Good Man, and wasn't at any point, then that means they have to admit they were all wrong, or worse, which of course cannot be true

Come onnnn you don't need to do this. 2008 was literally the middle of the Iraq War. You can say they've always been cunts and nobody will be mad at you

I think it's a honking carnival of farts. Starmer is unpopular because he has no morals or vision, keeps lying to us all, and mostly now because he hired the best friend of the world's most famous nonce

Counterpoint: Starmer is not, above all else, a man of public service

Oh no not driving their car into a property! Did an aeroplane get its feelings hurt Angus? Did a mummy plane have to explain to her little baby plane that daddy got some red paint on him? Was someone's large adult son spooked by a loud noise whilst working at the babykilling factory? You massive pig
