As previously, hanging on by my fingernails, not really knowing how, but seemingly reasonably effectively. Intolerant of people who don't understand the difference between climate and weather but claim otherwise. A fan of long-tail transportation devices.

Is there a Swedish equivalent to a knighthood, or "services to..."? Just for the sheer 11ness on the up-yours-1-10 scale. (And I mean for the whole coms team that came up with it, not just SLJ.)

New slant to conference goodies (no, not mine). A mug to collect and measure the bs.

Hi @ollyglover.bsky.social please bring this up with your Labour colleagues. Performative cruelty isn't a good look for anyone except maybe Reform and the Tories (if they are even different parties, now).
1. Quick 🧵 on the change to policy that, on the face of it, bans refugees from ever acquiring British citizenship. @sonial77.bsky.social has published a short article on Free Movement:

And I've done a follow up on my Substack:

New change to Home Office policy permanently blocks refugees from citizenship
Change is bad in principle and breaches the Refugee Convention

Hi @ollyglover.bsky.social , please support the youth mobility scheme debate today. It might be a chance to make genuine advances on repairing the UK's economic relations with the EU. (And would be great for the kids - obvs. Bonus.) I'm a constituent but live in Germany, so speak from experience.)

Bsky do your thing, please. It's a _long_ time since we've been anywhere near the area. Looking for a good but not OTT restaurant to treat a good friend to somewhere in B'ham. East side of city if possible, even out to Warwick would be in scope, I guess. Dinner for 2, around £200?

Some people say that Germans don't have a sense of humour. They are wrong. It's just it's a very _german_ sense of humour, that takes a bit of time to see and understand.

There's a connection that makes it _justifiable_, but I'm not sure that playing Carl Orff's O Fortuna at full volume as the introduction in assembly on the kids' first day at a new school is sending them quite the right message. (No, the kids haven't done any Latin yet, but are starting, now.)

@edconway.bsky.social you've reached the new-books-shelf in our local (read _provincial_) library! And a few people in this country could definitely learn something from this book.
