Deeply embarrassing for domcum that he was once in the heart of government and now panders to the gargoyles for pennies.

Anyway, I’m watching Master and Commander. It does make me wish I’d bothered to read the rest of the Aubrey/Maturin books.

I think the worst thing about the Ukraine deal, apart from everything else, is that it clearly just sets Russia up to have another pop a few years later.

I know Goalhanger branding is stupid, but I mean, it clearly works. If I hear a podcast title preceded by ‘The Rest is’, I immediately know I’m going to avoid it at all costs

Nice rule that also worked on twitter: anyone who states - usually with pride - in their bio that they block people is both unpleasant and dull.

I see these far right people having a right whine about the current government and I really wish they’d done something for them to actually whine about

Verdict of one Labour grandee I just bumped into: “Ed Miliband is the person most likely to be the most next Prime Minister”.

It turns out I love those paradox strategy games - crusader kings, europa universalis et al - and it’s really good to switch my brain off after a stressful day at work (ie most days), but it’s just so all consuming.

Their disagreements were over whose surname was correct
I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.
