Very enjoyable pair of back-to-back ODI warm up games in Perth. Honours even, I reckon. Can’t wait for #TheAshes to start at Brisbane in ten days or so…

the basic way twitter works is there are two teams, left and right, and you pick a team and go to their side of the barn and then you throw wet bread at the other team's cow

working on a script for a horror movie, it opens with the camera looking down a lonely old street and then it zooms slowly in on a creaky rusty sign swaying slowly in the rainy breeze, that's all I have so far the movie is called Creepy Rusty Sign

If I had a dollar for every time the opening test of the summer was in Perth, the visiting team got rolled for less than 200 while the commentators talked up how easy it looked to bat on, only for Australia to also struggle to score on the pitch because it's bouncy and lively... #AUSvENG

The man who devised the M&S food ads has died. He will be cremated on Monday. In an applewood and mesquite fire, with blistered marshmallows and charred Madagascan vanilla pods.

The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.

Imagine buying Twitter for $44 billion(!) and destroying most of its value in order to tell an audience of bots and neo-Nazis that you are the best and tallest person in the world with the strongest bones.

Among other topics, we discuss the sale of children in care.
They're worth roughly £100k each. The profit you can extract by sending them across the country to the cheapest housing in derelict places, cutting them off from all hope and contact, is off the scale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xx6...

Sounds awful but when I planned my SgtPepper Kickstarter book I thought I might get a bounce whenever someone famous dies. But there’s a difference between an imaginary celeb dying and someone you felt affection for from your youth dying too young on a cold November day leaving young family behind.

The striking thing here is that she has gone from 'position that isn't really true, but does at least suggest a deliverable, albeit unpopular policy' to 'position that isn't really true and isn't even deliverable'.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

Reeves should risk it all on one last roll of the dice.

Raise income tax, break the triple lock, slay the deficit, spend the money on the things she believes in.

It may not work - but better than waiting for doom to overtake her.

The thing I despise is inhumanity. It’s not really a political position, it’s an existential one. But if your political party manoeuvres itself into a place where it practises and promotes inhumanity, I will despise you.
