Basically admitting they need to introduce new taxes or have continually failing public services. And then not even go near the very idea of wealth taxes.

Not only cos I was twatted by a falling rocket in my own back garden last night but fireworks on general sale to the public needs banning asap. Licences granted to a small number of pyrotechnics experts only, with stringent vetting, training and certification protocols.

“With too many voters gone over to Reform, I know, let’s try and scrape back the many more voters who’ve already gone over to Greens because grubby little posts like this are bound to work, aren’t they?”

Each of the UK’s billionaires makes on average 5 times the median British salary per day. But no. Let’s tax ordinary workers because it’s easier to tell them to fuck off than is to tell 156 billionaires to fuck off.

Being bold and radical - with demonstrable political will and a viable story - would have gone some way towards allaying disappointment and thus keeping in check their plummeting popularity. Labour with their current leader are seriously incapable of carrying that off.

The moment when the primary school headteacher announces to the PTA the gobbiest, pushiest most pain in the arse parent that their little darling won’t be getting a key role in the Nativity play this year.

Yesterday’s hilly trail run. 10 miles easy/steady over and around Roseberry, Cook’s Monument & Kildale. Although worryingly, another autumn of being bone dry under foot for the time of year. #runchat

Govt ministers saying the WMP’s decision is based solely on the nationality and religious beliefs of visiting supporters. That is not the case here and amounts to gaslighting. By interfering, Govt are inadvertently upping the anti here and riling all the wrong idiots in the process.

I never knew how exactly I’d benefit from possessing a veteran’s ID card. I want to be in a society where everybody benefits well and equally from public services regardless of what they used to do for a living.

I wish it didn’t grate me as much cos life’s too short but what fucked-up country we are when the people who spent 14 years ripping the fabric of society to shreds are afforded so much credibility after the event, while millions of us still endure the consequences.

I wonder what it is about smooth-running, accessible, well resourced public services that the very richest in our society don’t like. 🤔
