This is the closest I’ve ever seen to a demand for rubbish bags piled on street corners to be listed on UNESCO’s register of intangible cultural heritage.

Clara very much enjoying a canal walk, but is not sure about these things she has to share the towpath with that are larger than her.

Think what a different story this could have been if they'd nominated Matt Goodwin. (I make no comment on how the story would have differed.)

A proper conspiracy theorist would be well up on the Co-operative Party candidate being about to be declared the winner following a count at the Co-op Arena. (true story: the Fabians only exist to provide distraction from the real shadowy global power players: the Co-operative Party.)

Spoilers, please ;-)

What I 'enjoy' about the Craig Murray plan is that it seems a little unclear about exactly how a military confrontation would play out, but it is at the same time very explicit about how John Swinney should tell the DVLA it has no authority in Scotland. Got the priorities sorted.

Josh Simons became the Steward of Burnham in order to steward Burnham into the House of Commons.

Should be a law against putting a headline on an election live blog that says ‘very close’ and only further on say you mean a candidate was very close to 50%.

Today’s discourse might have been better informed if a few more people had ever taken the ferry from Ceuta to mainland Spain. The only places my passport has been examined for longer and I’ve been questioned more closely are on entering Syria during the Arab Spring and at JFK.

Given the creation of a consistent Westminster > strategic authority > unitary council structure of governance for England could prove to be one of the biggest legacies of the 2024-6 government, I am increasingly sad that my push for the nickname ‘Three Tier Keir’ never really took off.

Seems fine.

*Checks length of Iran's land borders* Looks do-able.

Really sad to see the damage to Dunwich Heath, one of my grandparents' favourite places, and to my mind the second best bit of the Suffolk Coast Path (the best bit is a secret). Such a wonderful, uplifting, big sky and heather landscape. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

MOAR of this sort of thing. Also faster and in more places. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Andy Burnham to give regional mayors share of income taxThe prime minister says the move will give power to "every postcode" but critics say the plans lack detail.www.bbc.co.uk

Feeling very justified in my terrible habits of never actually shutting down key programmes on my work laptop. Reckon I can hold out for at least six months on this.
