The turnout in my council ward was 29% yesterday. 71% of people couldn't be bothered getting off their arses to vote. Reform duly won it with 1600 votes from an electorate of 15,000. Fuck you all; you fully deserve what's coming down the line in terms of cuts to services.

Charlotte Owen graduated from York in 2015 with a 2:1. Eight years later she was in the House of Lords, potentially for another 50 years or more. One of the great scandals of our time.

The current President of the United States is 78 years old. His predecessor was 78 years old on taking office.
Trump 1.0, Biden and Trump 2.0 are the three oldest US Presidents.
Kennedy was 43, Clinton 46, Obama 47, Carter 52 and G.W. Bush 54.
This isn't healthy (!)

Starmer visits the White House, tiptoes carefully through the Trumpian minefield and emerges unscathed at the other side.
Cue gnashing of teeth from the 'patriotic' right-wing media back home.

For Trump, lying comes as easily and naturally as breathing. One hopes he manages to find a way to stop both. Soon.

Take heed of anyone who uses 'fighting age' in preference to 'working age' or even just 'adult'; they may turn out to be just a teeny bit 'fascist-y'.

It's high time we stopped kowtowing to the bloody French and renamed 'La Manche' as 'The English Channel'.

Let's be honest here; it not (yet) another enquiry - which would take several years to report - that people want but a full-throated, pitchfork-wielding lynch mob.

BBC1's 'Shetland' needs to revert to it's early format of two-part storylines. The recent labyrinthine plotting (much of which was superfluous to the denouement of the latest series) is becoming nothing more than self-indulgent padding. Formulaic; and not in a good way.

"Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers.” 💰🧐
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

Seen more than a few posts 'over there' bigging-up Rupert Lowe. Is he on preliminary manoeuvres just in case Farage should take a tilt at the Tory leadership ahead of the next election?
