It's not even my name any more, why do I feel the need to bagsy it everywhere?
Was listening to the New Statesman podcast and they said that the “manifesto breaking” tax changes were going to be 2P on income tax, 2p off NI. SO, your take-home pay would remain as is. But, earnings on investments, shares, property would pay more.
A Labour policy I could get behind?

If Starmer told Trump to come ahead with his $1B suit and appointed, say, Armando Iannucci as DG, he wouldn’t have to worry about a leadership challenge until at least April

In Glasgow “fud” has a meaning beyond a canine inability to spell ‘food’. Took me a long time to get that Larson cartoon properly. But, I’d still found it hilarious

My bed just collapsed with me in it, like a bad 70s comedy. Sadly was alone and not doing anything but lying in it
Off to IKEA tomorrow for a new Skorva. Guess 20-odd years of service is acceptable. Thankfully it’s that that went and not the frame

I haven’t seen Panorama since the one about how Neil Hamilton (and various other members of Thatcher’s government) had connections to the far-right
I do, however, know fine well that Trump incited the insurgency on 6th of January

Before I went on my non-cycling trip, a friend suggested trying sports tape on my buggered knee. I watched some videos while trying to source some en route. Got NO idea what the general idea is behind using it
Got some from Decathloan and the weekend. Slapped a bit on. Bloody hell! It works

An AI bot is writing these now
After a long dry spell I recently hooked up with a Tinder match. Thought we both had a good time, but when I texted them, asking if they wanted to go again, I got a blow-by-blow account of how awful I was & a list of tips to work on. Humiliating? Sure, but, hey, I still got laid

Come on Sadiq. Say with your whole chest that you stand with the trans community and you're a socialist.
I like you but you haven't even nearly got the balls that ZM does and it's mendacious to claim parity.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

My girlfriend is obsessed with Babybel cheeses. Sometimes I lay out a trail of Babybels for her, just to jump out and scare the wits out of her

Self-centred thread. Ongoing for this week (maybe). I was supposed to go on a cycling trip along the North Kent Way this week. But have buggered my knee sitting in a small footbox Japanese vehicle for two days a bit back. Thought it was on the mend, but have knocked it further out.

Saw Arxx in Brighton tonight. Joyous, as always. Hope the Riot Women thing has made them enough money to do this as a job. (And, that there’s a second series to keep that going)

The key bit of the story is she exists (unlike the fictional couple Schumer made up) and she was afraid to wear her hijab because of Islamophobia.
That she was technically an older cousin, he called his aunt is not a story.

In the final days of New York City’s mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has faced pushback over a story he told about his aunt being afraid to wear her hijab while riding the subway after the September 11, 2001, attacks. https://cnn.it/432IAcr

A guy (I don’t know) once said to me at Springfield Park “Sweet bike, uncle”. (I kinda loved and hated this. Moreso the former.)
I’ve tried for hours to make a joke out of this. “AND, when he ran for mayor of London….” But, I can’t. The Mamdani’s aunt thing is beyond satire
