“You’ve done me wrong” “Your time is up” “There’s no way back” “You’re moving on out…” Three cheers for M People. Not just a great band but one with the political foresight of Nostradamus. ⁦@MPeopleMusic⁩ ⁦@MPeopleHeatherS⁩

A scene straight from the Office. Truss: “Your Majesty… Lovely to see you again.” King: “Back again. Dear oh dear. Anyway…” Political awkwardness and unintentional comedy at its finest.

The death of a political party, filmed up close for the first time ever. It’s like an Attenborough film about extinction. teapawt.net/PravG/status/157731824…

Tories can’t escape the Benny Hill theme tune inside their Birmingham conference. Listen ⬇️ and you can hear it played almost constantly by protesters outside. Complaints have been made but the cops say they can’t do anything.

I was with a photographer who rang his energy company in despair as his bill was going from £3k to £5k. “I asked why it wasn’t capped at £2500 like we’d been told”. This is why the govt trotting out the £2500 figure is misleading. The cap is per UNIT of energy NOT per bill.
