Great to see that virtually all customers in Costco Coventry were wearing masks this morning. Not so impressed that some staff decided not to bother.

Would be interested if anyone else has been similarly affected by #TheSecretCommonwealth or another book. I can hear something unrelated on the radio or TV, or read something online, and it’s like I get a flashback to the book.2/3

I’ve recently finished listening to the Audiobook of #TheSecretCommonwealth which, truth be told, I didn’t enjoy. Michael Sheen was brilliant but I didn’t like the book. I’ve had a very weird reaction to the book which I’ve never experienced before 1/3.

Then I get a strange sense of having forgotten something important, followed by a strong feeling of nausea where I actually retch. I’m really confused as to what going on here. I know I didn’t like #TheSecretCommonwealth but this seems a bit strong. 3/3

The BBC’s report on the budget tonight opened with the claim that “the first job of any Chancellor is… to show that they can keep borrowing under control.” This is a myth cooked up by supporters of austerity. Parroting it is the opposite of public service journalism.

#IsItOk that I can no longer bear to watch The Last Leg descend further into hypocrisy over mask wearing. Sad I can’t bear watching the show any more. Used to love it.
