Today I have mostly been announcing some new bollocks to replace the last lot of bollocks that we were forced to admit was total bollocks.

These new Swizzel’s Squashies Tropical sweets are too firm to be given the Squashies brand, in my opinion. They’re significantly firmer than standard Squashies, and alas I am disappointed.

Every so often it’s useful to answer some of the questions I get asked on here.
1. Yes they are.
2. Not the whole message, obviously.
3. In the garage, mainly.
4. No, it wouldn’t be practical. Sorry.

There seems to be this weird belief that we are oppressed by human rights and ECHR.

Almost without exception, such 'patriots' loathe everything that actually makes Britain a great country and long for a smaller country, with narrower horizons, and a meaner future, based on a version of the past that never existed.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Always remember that Tories/Reform wanted Brexit so that they could ignore rules that everyone else followed. A race to the bottom. Deregulation. A bonfire of *our* rights and protections. Exploitation and consumer risk so that the wealthy and the powerful could grab more wealth and more power.

As anti-Labour media will always put words in her mouth, why not beat them to it:

This scene is one of my favourite visual sights to enjoy on the tube network, if you visit Nine Elms station at the right time on a sunny day you'll be rewarded with these spectacular shadows & projections.
