A quote about the indispensability of libraries… illustrated with a photograph of a, erm, bookshop.

What a totally unnecessary interruption to my afternoon nap. Right, off to start the BBQ…

A “buy-election”. So on brand.
I have spoken to the CEO of Tendring District Council. Reform has offered to cover the cost of the by-election. I will be writing to Rachel Reeves later today with the same message. Given that we asked for this by-election in the first place, it’s only right that we pay for it.

The Times is “ground zero of the progressive establishment”. Don’t drink turps, ladies and gentlemen.
Replying to @trussliz
It is ground zero of the progressive establishment that has ruined our country.

Apparently you can’t wear a watch in London now. Farage is so full of shite.

Finally, it’s 4. It’s fucking 4. What is going on in the replies? Is this a deliberate thing about giving any answer other than FUCKING FOUR?!

Oh look, it’s happened again: Bobby Jenrick emerging from the crowd reeking of petrol and asking who started the fire.
This was just sent to me by a tradesman at a car boot sale today. I’m sure none of these tools were nicked… When will the police start taking this seriously?

Apparently juries are now part of the liberal elite. Populism is turning this country into a circus.

This outright misinformation about our parliamentary system boils my piss.

Wes Streeting “doesn’t want to distract from the King’s Speech”. Days and effing days of this pantomime. Leaking literally during the Speech. Could you at least resign before you start effing lying to us, Wes? Fecking hell, self indulgence off the scale.

A drama in three acts: Wes Streeting When Streeting? Was Streeting.

This guy is a Lord. Politics as mental illness.
Justice for beergate is close at hand. The korma of truth is best served hot. Starmer looked for a defence for his lockdown breaking actions but found naan. Today is for the BEERGATE TRUTHERS

You only have to watch Sky News for ten minutes to see that no-one is in the least bit interested in ordinary people. This is a politico-commentatio-entertainment industry event. Our politics has become so ludicrously debased.

Wait - Americans dream of living at a retail park?
This is my wife’s hometown, population less than 75,000. There's a beautiful Holiday Inn we stay at when we visit. Over 5 unique Starbucks locations. Has 9 strip malls you can visit and get pretty much anything you want. Has a Chili's and a Mexican restaurant. No walkable areas at all. You need a car here. Walmart on the edge of town. Small towns like this are the backbone of America.
