Really interesting thread on the reality of being an MP with no research team of whips office...
Like imagine you're a normal person, i.e. yourself. (None of you here are normal, but imagine.) You probably have 3-4 political issues you have strong opinions on, 3-4 you have general inclinations on, and a ton you know nothing about. The whip's office /tells/ you what you should think on that ton.

Also worth noting here are the replies to this of people who've had a similar belief trajectory, I find them quite heartening
Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Enjoyed watching this and can’t say I disagree with his analysis. It makes me want to revisit Dig Out Your Soul.

Few sights are as cheering as the tiny Dane scurrying down a continental alleyway, like a Womble chased out of a boulangerie. This Côte d’Azur travelogue is marvellous fun

Gary Delaney visited Axminster Guildhall last night. Filthy (in the good way), and dad jokes too.
Sounded like he was testing material for the upcoming tour but the room laughed at everything, not sure it was useful for him but he seemed to enjoy and we didn't care!

Celebrating Respect In Racing
As 2025 draws to a close, something which has struck me this year is the way competitors appear to respect each other more these days. This is typified by the F1 title battle this year between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. It all seems very gentlemanly, may the best…

Mackie is meant to be on 'urinary s/o' cat food for his kidneys. Amazon seller sent me the 'urinary s/o moderate calorie'. Similar pack, different flavour.
Guess which he won't eat.
He could do with fewer calories! So I half blame Amazon and half blame him for not eating it.

The thing about being a bit unwell, is that you imagine you'll be able to use it to catch up with things. In reality your ability to concentrate vanishes.
I feel a bit better now but the sodding thing persists and I'm still tired.

Walked to the park and back (nobody else about). Fresh air helped but I was surprised by how poorly I felt.
Remembered about the Covid test in the drawer. Light positive. Ah. That’ll be why I’m so tired then.

This virus/cold/whatever has hit me fairly hard. What's working best for me so far is the Tesco Day & Night tablets as it's been minimising the headaches and coughing. Still tired though.
Gave up quickly on WFH this morning and it was the right call, feel more rested now.

Made an attempt to go to work, got halfway there and turned back. Tired, headache, cold symptoms.
Two hours back in bed and I feel much better. Nothing beats sleep.
