Polanski is an unserious politician leading an unserious party. He is peddling simple solutions to complex problems in a way that would make the most deranged Brexiteer blush.

Polanski is almost a parody of a sixth-form radical who hasn’t grown up.

Just watched a video on TikTok about how dentists do fillings. Looks a piece of piss. I also watched a video on shoeing horses which looked slightly harder. Anyway, I’ll shoe your teeth £40 each x

@davidfordisdead.bsky.social Hullo! Travelling up from your fine hometown (or nearabouts, anyway) for your London show on Thurs. I gather The Doors are on at 7pm; after that, what time do things start happening astage? Looking forward to it very much.

Notable in today's YouGov that the centre/left bloc - Lab/Green/LD/SNP are on 54%. With Reform/Tories on 43%. That's the biggest differential in a long time.
I think useful to track blocs given instability between parties at the moment.

You wait months for an incoherent speech on the economy, and then two come along in the same morning! My SKETCH of Rachel Reeves vs Kemi Badenoch vs Reality.

To get one incoherent speech on the economy may be regarded as a misfortune. To get two in the same morning… well, it did at least move us towards an explanation of why people have to keep making them.

In this article you can read all about Richard 'Stupid' Tice and his interests in CO2-reducing green energy. Yes in his business dealings he is an active supporter of net-zero policies, because he knows that it reduces energy bills, and is a good investment.

Can sadly report, having heard Richard Tice interviewed on LBC earlier, that he used the phrases "Net Stupid Zero" and "Alarm Clock Britain" at least twice each
He also said it was right to consider reinstating child benefit for 3+ children only to married couples, because it encouraged working.
