... but what I think is imperative is that it serves someone else, too.
And I also can't stop thinking about what I would do with that kind of money. I would fund research, pay debts of whole countries, try to solve climate change, stop wars, build schools, fund publishers and newspapers ...

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

And as an aside, Toby Young has been quiet for a bit hasn’t he? Never once piped up when protestors against genocide in Palestine were being arrested. Is that not the right sort of free speech?

Lie down with dogs, get fleas. No one should condone abuse, victimisation or vandalism but frankly there are enough good restaurants in the City I’d rather support who don’t provide hospitality to shitheads.

I can’t get my head around someone like Mandelson, who was supposedly associated with a left(ish) or at least centrist government being quite happy to share a room with a guy who wants to fuck over everyone who isn’t rich. Maybe that just makes me naive?

That’s always been the line I thought they’d take, but that means (presumably) nothing happens before 2028 with us being EURO hosts.

It’s been fookin shite. I could tolerate a bit of cold and brightness but this is just rubbish. Cool, dreich, wet every day. Going to Portugal in 10 days and long range doesn’t look amazing but it’ll be better than this, thank God.

It’s been a while since I’ve had so little interest in an NUFC game. It’s done as far as I’m concerned.

Not that I have any grasp of these things but I think McSweeney may go and Starmer will be given a chance to push on with a more preferable SPAD. Maybe I’m just too used to seeing that happen with the Tories?

Not seen much from him so far that would elevate him above Darren Eales. Or Freddie Shepherd for that matter. Talk is cheap.

Well done Kemi Badenoch. By my reckoning that’s one PMQs in the last 17 months where you’ve managed to come off best.
