Keir Starmer will resign on May 4 2029 (AM), and no gutter lying tabloid press can convince me otherwise.

There's no greater argument for Starmer to stay than the people who want him to go.
The Scottish Greens have lodged a motion at Holyrood calling for Keir Starmer to resign.
Will any Scottish Labour MSPs sign it?

Yes.
I mean, they'll be hugely expensive, will probably overheat and stop working in week, or get taken out by some random space junk, or their power generation will fail, and they won't let him sing "Laws don't apply to me, because I'm in space, baby"… but he can definitely launch them into space.

I will vote for Wes Streeting in any forthcoming leadership election on the solo provision that, by deed poll, he adopts the middle names Cravens, Nightmare, and Onelm.

Strong words from Nigel, who famously does his job from the US far more than he does from the Houses of Parliament and far, far more than from Clacton.
🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance
"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense. They're more productive being with other fellow human beings"

Really he's going the wrong way. We can't build a self-sustaining city on Mars, and we can't build a self-sustaining city on the Moon either. Why swap one impossible goal for another one, which sounds easier but isn't? He should have gone for a city on Europa or Titan. They sound more impressive.
Elon Musk (you may recognize him from the Epstein files) has just given up on Mars.

-OK, art team, here's your brief. How do we sell Valentine cards to the couple who've been married for years? The spark's gone, the kids have gone, they wouldn't normally bother... but how about if we did cards *from their dog*? They'd buy those.
-Sounds dreadful
-Just do the art! By Tuesday!

An overcast dog walk today, but it stayed dry, which was nice. For no particular reason I was struck by two trees on a hilltop and the remains of the jetty for the long-defunct ferry across the Tyne (the ferry-master job apparently came with the right to net salmon on the river).

If I may suggest a slight improvement, that would hardly change the budget / chances of this happening at all.

Fair play to Michael Tracey - I thought he'd already reached peak cuntishness, but all that was just his warm-up lap. The lad's capable of levels of being a cunt that most of us are too small to dream possible.

I'm just glad to see they've correctly identified the country's number 1 county.
Pretty sure that @jonnelledge.bsky.social has set my daughter’s homework this weekend. Although it doesn’t come with a long explanation about why, actually, some of these aren’t really counties so maybe he hasn’t.
