Did the thing where I couldn't come up with an idea for a story, totally stuck, so I thought, I know, I'll just write a 'discussion document' of the plot points I want to cover and then reverse engineer how to get to them and lo and behold, a story has popped out. #TheMagic #GlimpseBehindTheCurtain

1. Many here seem bemused by the anger and disappointment this government attracts. Please bear with me while I try to explain it.
Let’s begin with Gaza. Starmer’s complicity is one of the major reasons so many people are disillusioned.

Okay, I’ve heard all the criticisms. I agree now that my plan to create a Jonestown on Mars was foolish and dangerous. I will instead be building a much more achievable Jonestown on the Moon

I do think one of the root causes of Labour's problems is that they won the election with only a third of the vote; they didn't come to power on the crest of a wave of popularity and what goodwill they had they used up almost at once. Lots of backbenchers one twitch of the dial away from extinction.
Our first-past-the-post electoral system clearly can't cope with the strains placed on it by a politically fractured, multipolar electorate. I suppose we'd better get used to this instability unless or until that system is changed.

I'm not sure a Labour MP anonymously briefing against their leader is in any position to call someone else a coward. 🤔
A Labour MP remarks: "Starmer will go down as the worst PM in Labour history ... He’s a coward who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. He is a moral gravity-well from which neither decency, honesty or integrity can escape. A genuine disaster for this country and the Labour movement.”

The secret to getting rid of an earworm is to think of a song with a clear, definitive end like She Loves You or With A Little Help With My Friends (the Beatles version, NOT the Wet Wet Wet version).
Readers replies: why does a song sometimes get stuck in our heads – and what makes an earworm?

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.
