I see that Reform and the Tories are both saying that a part of the government of the United Kingdom should ignore an advisory vote on public opinion.
I thought those things were as gospel to them?
(Actually I've known for a long time they aren't ask the people of Sheffield about Mayors)

It was Dr. John Watson's habit of packing travel sized snacking cheese that gave AGB's wife Mabel (Ma Bell) the idea to create the Babybel empire.

Today is the 150th anniversary of the famous first use of a telephone
"Watson, come here – I want to see you"
Alexander Graham Bell was calling 221B Baker Street for help, having met Homes's friend and biographer briefly at Edinburgh University and needed assistance with a delicate matter.

Don't know if one of last night's dreams that I don't remember was a long hike or something, but your boy is ravenous today.

A: "I think something is wrong with the flour, my Victoria sponge is terrible"
B: "too old? How long have we had it?"
A: "Not long and it was fine the other day when I made pastry"
B: "Let me check the packet. Ah, yes, here is the problem, silicon dioxide"
A: "eh?"
B: "It's an anti-caking agent"

Why do I feel that we are watching the start of Timmy Charlemagne's slide down the slippery slope towards even stranger facial hair and odd choices about who will carry out a public baptism in a river somewhere.

In cheerier news, chats with friends last night, someone else teasing a table read of a β€œThe Muppets Great Gatsby” screenplay, and going shopping for something appropriate to eat closing out National Pie Week, has a smile on my face.

I'm sorry Nadhim Zahawi, but now Trump has joined in, you won't win the posting bullshit about the Royal Navy on social media competition.
For all his may faults that guy is absolutely the covfefe champ.

To save everyone in the 15 commonwealth realms the distraction of passing legislation, AMW should just convert to catholicism to self-exclude from the line of succession.
I am sure they could find a priest who holds a sympathetic point of view for him.

No matter how funny a grok roast of some ultra right wing absolute shit-gibbon is, remember that even compared to other GenAI it is terrible for the environment, and the death toll will fall mainly on black people.

Blair has popped up and once again shown that you can absolutely point at the wrong course of action by him advocating for it.

Right wingers that were in the Tory austerity governments are making inaccurate claims about resource levels that are in any case their fault.

The politics around the war are as depressing as usual:
Trump seems to be being fed attack lies from Farage.

Isabel Oakeshott happily updating her LinkedIn to say war correspondent and sipping a Nespresso as the children she dragged to the boiling hot desert slave city grow more and more concerned about everything.

I am shocked at everyone saying that tax dodgers should be made to pay if they get a British evacuation flight home.

I would expect that HMG would charge everyone.

Once again one of the apposite things to say about British politics comes from Yes Minister:
β€œIf you must do this damn silly thing, don’t do it in this damn silly way.”

[1] I think it was actually a tutoring service looking for customers.
[2] Gut feeling is a significant proportion of these will turn out to be assisted voting.

Next to the Christians at peace gardens were some maths missionaries[1] maybe they could help reform UK with their maths. Even if there were 32 genuine[2] cases of family voting, on a turn out of 77,501 that makes the claim of 12% seems like excessive extrapolating.

"Why can't you bee like your brood sibling that puppet's Trump" they get told over and over again.
