Whenever I encounter the work of Peston, Mason or Kuenssberg, I'm reminded that the role of political editor on TV seems, bizarrely, to demand the churning out of the political equivalent of transfer rumours - trivial, ephemeral gossip that contributes nothing to our understanding of the world.
Fascism is on the rise, the cost of living is higher than ever, the NHS is still in the shitter and people are scared, tired, and furious with a useless failure of a government, but don’t worry! If you live in the cosseted political media bubble, 2026 is going to be WILD. Fuck off.

The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.

When my wife's grandad was on his deathbed, he asked me how our favourite team were doing. I should have lied and told him something amazing, but honestly told him it was the off season. I've always regretted that and felt a bit stupid about it.
