No surprise and well-deserved. And you might even meet me!

Is anyone from the government now going to resign over wasting £millions arresting and prosecuting decent people for opposing genocide? I think we all know the answer.

Peaceful protesters yesterday, writing the words on their placards which will convert them from ordinary citizens to terrorists in the eyes of the government and the law. Words which put them in the same legal group as Osama bin Laden. The rank absurdity of Cooper’s decision captured in one photo.

Despite (or because of) the Ashes series, it's felt a long #rugbyleague off-season. Back in action tonight at last. #SLWarStH #COYS

If we want older people to downsize why do we let retirement housing companies get away with this? Why would anyone buy one of their flats?

The last four months have seen an astonishingly large number of fallen trees locally, temporarily blocking footpaths, roads, rivers. Plenty of damage too, but great work for tree surgeons.

Lord Mandelson in disgrace

The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1668 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main cover line reads “LORD MANDELSON IN DISGRACE.” The central image shows a blurred, photograph of a Mandelson standing indoors wearing a T-shirt and underwear, holding a folder. Surrounding the image are multiple speech bubbles, including: “I’ve let myself down, my party down and my trousers down,” “He’s going to pay for this – which makes a change!”, “Talk about a cheques offender!”, “He will need some decent briefs!”, “Time to strip him of his title as well!”, “Oh no! He’s into M&S!” and “Can we have a cover up, please!”

Bitterly cold in Saddleworth and looking like snow imminent.
So here's some elegant Thai dancing at Chiang Mai flower festival from this day in 2024.

Melania is a film that may end up being shown to a jury, though not at Cannes. I watched it so you don't have to. thecritic.co.uk/an-e...
The film itself has the air of an expensive corporate video. Like everything involving Trump, there is cross-promotion. We are shown that Mar-a-Lago has a pool and a golf course and tennis courts, and then Melania tells us that Mar-a-Lago has a pool and a golf course and tennis courts. You too can enjoy a visit to Mar-a-Lago, with its pool and golf course and tennis courts, at low, low rates. Assuming you don’t get arrested on your way into the country. Melania, a producer on the film, delivers a narration that is flat and expressionless, neatly matching her face, which is remarkably smooth for her 55 years. It is also weirdly immobile throughout: it is a good hour before the camera catches what seems to be an actual feeling, a look of nerves as she prepares on the morning of the inauguration. There is one faintly candid interview, as she sits in the back of the car, discussing her love of Michael Jackson. “He was very sweet,” she said. “Very nice.” It’s possible that Mrs Trumpisn’t

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
