I like New Year Resolutions, so here goes:

1. get my French to C1 level
2. Go to the theatre more often
3. Drink lots of good wine
4. Go to champagne and buy lots of champagne
5. Get a six pack (almost impossible)

New YouGov research for ippr finds that civic conceptions of being British are held by most people, with a third prioritising birthplace. Reform voters are outliers, against the general public view, weighting ancestry and ethnicity more highly

Deleted my enconium to the memory of Brigitte Bardot.

I had not realised that she was French.

Articles about Brigitte Bardot after her death on Sunday have referred to her far right sympathies, which supposedly emerged later in the film star's life. Here she is, though, in 1958 with Jean-Marie Le Pen and Pierre Lagaillarde, future founder of the extremist OAS terror group

I hadn't listened for years and happened to be in BiL's car driving back from Edinburgh with the radio on. It was so so poor.

Yep, they all wing it. It's why serious BBC reform would do away with big salary celebrity broadcasters and get proper journalists in. Nobody tunes into the Today programme because of Nick Robinson, none of them would be missed.

the map is bs, there is no way 80-100% of Turks have a passport. Nonsense.

This map shows the percentage of the population with a valid passport across the world. International travel is a wonderful privilege.

It would take 5 minutes for an intern to find out if Dyson had saved on tax by moving to Singapore. It was all just so lazy.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 13h

The other day I listened to Nick Robinson interviewing Dyson on Radio 4. The most irritating thing was not Dyson (surprisingly) but that Robinson was so ill-prepared for the interview. For example, he asked if Dyson moved the company to Singapore to save tax and Dyson (of course) said no.

No, he has not “got a job”. He has been instructed as a barrister, just as Keir Starmer KC was, and so under the cab rank rule is required to accept the instructions.

The BSB Code of Conduct is publicly accessible and it’s really not very hard to look it up first.

So after the Conservatives spend years accusing Keir Starmer of betraying Britain in his work as a former Human Right's lawyer, Kemi Badenoch's own Shadow Attorney General in the Lords takes a job representing a sanctioned Russian oligarch

Since no-one appears to be talking about it on here, just letting you know that the the PM, Foreign Secretary and various other Government Ministers have expressed their “delight” in an Egyptian “pro-Democracy” activist being freed in Egypt and allowed to come to the UK. Here are some of his views.
