Don't even know where to begin with this. There is no artist who has had an impact on me than Lynch, I'd reckon. He just felt like the kind of guy who would be around forever because he transcended all sense of human norms. Gutted.

Today in 'increasingly cynical tactics by the Conservatives' - last night's email to the Tory base from Chris Philp.
(A reminder that Labour *had* to vote against the Tories' wrecking amendment on a national inquiry or it would've killed their entire Child Wellbeing Bill.)

Fuck I think we totally forgot that part in Dune Pt. 2 about not falling for charismatic violent folk heroes fueled by vengeance who look like Timothee Chalamet in a hoodie

Think this from playbook is a good reposition from Labour - a GDP growth target means very little to people (even more so if it’s unevenly distributed which has caused many of UK’s problems). Shifting the focus to living standards and what the growth is in aid matters much more.

There is negligible partisan ownership of support/opposition.
Reform 69% +51
Labour 69% +48
Conservative 68% +48
LibDem 66% +44
Green 60% +39
This pattern is inverse to media, social media & political discourse and expectations (driven by ideology). Partly because age > partisanship/worldview

On assisted dying, Opinium found 1 in 5 opposed, with 2/3 in favour.
But 40% worry about pressure on the vulnerable (twice as many as those who oppose this)
A tenth think the sanctity of life is a strong argument (half of the oppoments) while a fifth worry about care for sick and vulnerable.

Tragic the Sir Captain Tom scam fell apart slightly too soon for the family to revive him as AI.
Men's mental health would've been cured if we all had a motivational Tom chatbot at hand, and could watch him do one of his classic laps across the screen (via a microtransaction)

Big day for reasoned debate on farms/inheritance today - a debate undermined by @BBCNews repeatedly and wrongly reporting as fact that “farms worth more than £1m would have to pay inheritance tax”. This is just flatly wrong in vast vast majority of cases
