Just had a brush by with Keir Starmer, I’d give it five minutes if I were you
BREAKING: Keir Starmer had a “brush by” with Chinese premier Li Qiang at G20 summit in Johannesburg at weekend - although reporters on trip were not told about this.
Understand this was a brief hello in leader’s lounge and nothing of substance was discussed.

When this thing hits 88 mp/h, you’re gonna see some serious shit, Charlie Brown
You know how to whistle, don't you, Charlie Brown? You just put your lips together and blow.
Say you will, say you won't, say you'll do what I don't, Charlie Brown

The stuff on X about disinfo accounts reminds me of the time I tried to get a Cybernat account which was obviously Russian or something to say which was their favourite sketch character on "Naked Video" - something which any true Scot would be able to do but this particular account couldn't.

All this stuff about Farage peddling conspiracies with Alex Jones, people saying he was racist at school, his party is filled with Russian money, and he has questions to answer and fucking Hell, have we learned nothing? He won’t own up and no-one will make him, he’ll just glide off untouched, again

What does Lord Glasman think of those reel things you use to attach your ID to your belt? I use one of them, and it’s not a lanyard, but does he also blame them for the rise of trans humanism and the decline of the traditional working class?

Today’s pie dinner only slightly marred by a Pyrex jug exploding randomly with the force of 1000 suns and covering the oven, surfaces, floor and me with shards of broken glass. Sadly the mashed potato was on the job at the time, and also perished

If you see shop workers, council staff, Deliveroo riders, classroom assistants, care home staff, admin staff and call centre staff as anything other than working class, just because they don’t wear a flat cap to a factory every day, you’re a fucking idiot and absolutely no-one should listen to you

What a stultifying, idiotic, mindless snob this man is. How incurious, dull and past it. No wonder Lady Glasman won’t shag him

When I said I thought Pixar movies had genuine emotional depth, she responded by laughing, ‘Why do you care about it, it’s just a cartoon?’
Stupidest relationship red flags that should have alerted you to a wrong ‘un - go!
I once had a boyfriend who would eat a chocolate from a shared box and then PUT THE EMPTY WRAPPER BACK IN THE BOX, so the next person reaching for a Snickers or whatever would just get disappointment.

We need more houses? Right, build them. Public transport is a public service? Ok good, let's have more of it.
I prefer that to "let's spend years navigating our way through a hundred competing substacks on the precise economic impact of doing this thing we need to do"

Made a cup of tea. Might just throw it straight into my chest and all over the sofa, save myself the trouble. Could even crack my head really fucking hard on a shelf at the same time, save doing it later
