One of the most consistent principles in his life is to become unbelievably partisan in every conflict he encounters, and then to win the conflict using a barrage of extreme verbal force.

This just makes me mourn in advance for number 10 cat.
When Larry goes, I can't imagine the collective grief.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Currently they're watching Beat the Chasers and getting annoyed at me yelling out the answers.

"Dublin back then was cheap, but it's never been worse..." is extremely accurate.
I have had the opening of CMAT's Have Fun! stuck in my head for a week so keep singing to myself "You cracked an egg into my mouth, fucked my friends and fucked me out" to the utter bafflement of strangers.

I do think it's worth understanding the weirdness in Tory foreign policy as downstream of trying to gauge Trumpism.
Find it bizarre she hasn't visited Kyiv yet, even for a photo op. It's the easiest win going.
She just seems so disinterested in any and all foreign affairs (the actually serious ones, not just ones involving culture war stuff)

Keir Starmer is once more locked in a death battle with his mortal enemy, Keir Starmer
Starmer takes off his PM hat and puts on the Human Rights Lawyer hat to create a clear and concise report with a clear set of easily implementable recommendations, puts back on the PM hat and chucks it in the bin for no discernable reason.

It's called ambition, and it's a shame that the London Elite can't extend it to Bristol.
Been checking out the West of England transport vision, and… think there’s a bit of a loop vibe here?
Those green circles are marked “bus network (conceptual)”, and one of them goes over the sea…

"everyone has to get back to the office because the important thing about business is human interaction" is dying, but "white collar jobs will be replaced by AI agents within 18 months" cannot yet be born; in this interregnum a variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Jenny Chapman here looks more like Keir Starmer in a wig, and that is a conspiracy theory I haven't heard before.
This is the sort of thing you see on a banner outside a struggling Championship side, trying to force out the CEE oligarchs who are running the finances into the ground.
"The mood's turned grim here at Ewood Park, now without a win in seven games, as cries of 'Cjhapman out' rocks the home end."

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.
Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

So, what happened is that old people love apprenticeships, so we created a payroll tax of 0.5% to fund them, but most companies don't really train through apprenticeships anymore so a lot of professional qualifications restructured as apprenticeships to take advantage of that funding.
Exclusive: Leadership and management apprenticeships are on the chopping block under plans to find savings and tilt the apprenticeship system towards young people, skills minister Jacqui Smith has confirmed https://feweek.co.uk/management-apprenticeships-on-the-chopping-block-minister-confirms/

The young woman in front of me on the escalator is wearing her trousers fully inside out, and I can't work out if this is a style thing or she's genuinely not noticed that all the labels are now outside.

In many ways Nicola shold have noticed when Peter upgraded them from Scottish shortbread to a version enrobed with delicious salted caramel and delicately topped with a thin layer of chocolate.
