IT Guy. Trying to make sense of the modern world. Failing miserably. Bit (too) sweary.

Odey employs Kwarteng. Odey bankrolls Brexit. Brexit destabilises UK. Kwarteng becomes Chancellor. Odey bets against GBP. Kwarteng destabilises GBP. Odey reaps enormous rewards. Do you see how it works yet? And this is just one example, of many. reuters.com/business/finan…

It should be a legal requirement that before being allowed to vote for the first time, every young person has to play a game of Monopoly where one person starts with £10,000 and everyone else starts with nothing. We’ll see how people feel about inheritance and wealth taxes then.

The problem with whipping up division and creating skewed belief systems in the population when it suits you, is that you can’t simply turn it off when it doesn’t.

Dear people who make radio and TV adverts, Please stop putting mobile phone notification sounds in them!! Not only is it fucking annoying, we all go and look at our phones and consequently have no idea what you were advertising in the first place. Love and kisses, Everyone

If someone is going to abuse someone in a toilet, surely they’re just going to barge in and do it? They’re not going to queue up to have their genitals or paperwork inspected. I genuinely understand the concern for safe spaces, but I don’t see how banning trans people helps.

Did someone ask ChatGPT to write the UK’s Eurovision entry? It’s like it’s got all the right ingredients for a Eurovision hit, but not necessarily in the right order!

Given the typical literacy of most Reform voters, I'm not convinced that it's not the Ewok agenda that they're really unhappy about.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can’t out-Reform Reform. No matter how far right you move, they’ll go further and history tells us that, absent an alternative, plenty will follow them. People want change, but make it positive, progressive change that they can feel.

ReformUK here demonstrating perfectly why simple slogans and simple solutions to complex problems don't actually deliver. It's one thing to shout from the sidelines, but to govern requires nuance, compromise, patience, and competence. A ReformUK government would be a disaster.

Priti Patel really is fucking awful isn’t she? I’m no particular fan of David Lammy but to hear them speak back to back is like listening to George Washington and a village idiot.
