We have all become addicted to drama, scandal & hyperbole. Some of us are trying to wean ourselves off it & focus on stuff like this. But it can sometimes feel like being a vegetarian at a barbecue.
At the risk of sounding like a government spokesperson, I wonder if we're too gloomy. NHS waiting times are falling, as are net migration numbers. Growth hasn't been fast, but it's improved. Real wages are growing. Inflation is a bit sticky, but much reduced.

Reform MP Lee Anderson has unveiled his education plan: “The Union Flag at every school and sing the national anthem every day.”
Good thinking, Lee. That will make the UK competitive on the international stage.

It drives me nuts. The Telegraph, Mail, Sun etc and the politicians they sponsor like Johnson, Farage, Cameron & Truss got everything they wanted for fourteen of the last fifteen years & only now, with Labour in power for *less than one*, do they acknowledge the damage they have done. It’s sick.

It's a good time to be alive and a supporting Forest. My dad was a massive Nottingham Forest fan and would have loved this if he was still alive.

New data shows UK could be £26bn better off with 'closer EU alignment'
Is the Brexit fantasy falling apart after less than a decade? Dissent is growing rapidly - and closer EU alignment has its financial benefits.

Blimey. That actually got me.
John Prescott’s coffin has arrived at Hull Minster for his funeral. Appropriately, the hearse was a Jag, as is the family’s car.
A knowing wink you suspect. Two Jags to the end.

The fact that Elon Musk wanted to give Nigel Farage and Reform UK $100m but couldn't because it was illegal should be the death of Reform, who supposedly are all about sovereignty and the 'working' man.
But it won't be because they are all stupid.

Ok I will admit that I was VERY hesitant to get on a new social media platform. I already have like 6 and honestly the internet isn't that fun these days, but I have to admit I'm really enjoying Bluesky!

So I've landed on Bluesky having migrated from eX. And so far - it looks good. A lovely world of people with sound opinions and nice photos of the cosmos to look at. And I see most of my favourites are here too, like James O'Brien, Peaklass, BRAPA and even Alastair Campbell's Tree of the Day.
