It is because yesterday I was in meetings all day and today I had the opportunity for a lunchtime walk.

As well as being world book day, where children dress as characters, it was world random dress day, where you see adults dressed in everything from overcoats to shorts and sleeveless vests.

I got married in France and, being totally honest, I have no idea what I said, agreed to or what vows were made. However, I think obeying is very silly.

Toss up between The Married Man (middle class) and The Roller for me.

In many cases a fair comment.

I blame net zero.

I will never be in a position where I have to order any form of military action, but were I do so I might think what do I want to bomb and why would be the first thought. Whatever Trump wants and because he says so is not a great answer.

But the main justifications from the usual suspects seem to be based on β€œsupporting our allies”. Seemingly oblivious that allies have hardly been good friends in recent times, and blind support for anyone is never a great idea.

I am tempted to respond β€œdeath (really does) mean death”….

If I find myself in the unfortunate situation of being trapped in a war zone, and the British government arranges a return flight, I promise I won’t immediately walk up to a news crew on landing and complain that boarding was β€œa bit of a shambles”.

Blaming a drop in healthy life expectancy since 2020 exclusively on the 2010 government is rather daft.

Not in any way a defence of austerity, but the simple fact the graph shows a stable line until 2020, followed by a dip, should raise an immediate thought.

The figures do require scrutiny - in my view we focus far too much on overall life expectancy when healthy life is more important - but /2

This is a classic Guardian article that identifies a complex and multi-faceted issue yet applies a simple binary cause - the austerity policies of the Cameron government - rather than giving the issue any deeper thought. /1

Labour MP defends joining dance class in Parliament amid Iran crisis Lee Pitcher was among a group of 40 MPs who sparked a row after being filmed twirling in Westminster's Portcullis House on Wednesday.

I know it is the Mail etc etc, but what exactly are MPs supposed to do while a conflict that the UK does not want and is barely involved in rumbles on?

In decades to come, hundreds of historians will pore over documents from March 2026 desperately searching for, yet consistently failing to find, the tiniest clue as to what in the living fuck was going on.

I don’t like putting down another lawyer’s judgment, but his strategy has resulted in Labour going from a landslide to (in some polls) fifth place in a little over 18 months.

I would hate to see one of the worst strategists in the world.

@katebevan.com about time we had another travel program presented by a white male. At least four days since the last one.

Yesterday’s PMQs was disgraceful due to the seriousness of the situation.

The β€œyou are not spending enough while simultaneously spending too much” nonsense is fine, albeit trite, at times. Not when it involves war and death.
