Why seek political office if you have a stonking majority and you use it to…endlessly fret about losing your majority rather than running a country? It’s no good. There is no theory for how to make things better. It’s not even well managed decline.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Waiting for the podcast of “Samuel Pepys’s 12 Years of Mast Prices”
To my office and there made an end, though late, of my collection of the prices of masts for these twelve years to this day, in order to the buying of some of Wood, and I bound it up in painted paper to lie by as a book for future use.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Just remove the whip from Streeting. Leadership challenge over and it would be exceedingly funny.

You know that thing we do when we just try for the last 20 mins? Why don’t we start the game like that?

Speaking as a drummer, this is true. It’s nice to have a treat from time to time.
The hole in a guitar is traditionally used to store soft cheeses and dried meats which are fed to the drummer when he does a good job

It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago.

I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.

Wow, seems like an overreaction to allegations from someone he never met but paid £12m to for no reason

Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.
