Won another Pub Quiz, lads.

Excellent identification of Mussolini and Stalin via their mugshots helped us romp to victory.

Sony have put this little gem of a film up for free on Youtube.

Very much a product of the mid 90s, and student politics, but a good cast (Cameron Diaz, Bill Paxton, Ron Perlman, Jason Alexander, amongst others) and - most importantly - it's only 90 minutes.

In a throwback to 1972, there is currently a van patrolling the street blasting out 'Any old Iron' via loudspeaker.

I wonder if Mandelson turned his Aga off.

The thing is about Streeting, he 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 he's competent.

A bit like Jonathan Gullis, after the benefit of a Mach 3 Turbo and can of Lynx Africa.

Bit rich of Health Secretary Wes Streeting advising people to 'Ignore the Smears'

Live, Laugh, I was never a good friend of Mandelson.

Me, the first time my Mum took me to the local park.
Wow, these are some pretty huge swings.
UK public now split one third positive v one third negative on economics and culture of immigration, after a dramatic softening after 2016.

Contributors include
- dominance of boats/asylum over free movement/visas
- starker political polarisation
- shifting media and online fragmentation

A nation that freely carries guns is experimenting with cutting out the caffeine.

What could possibly go wrong.
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

Today's discourse has been too much. I'm off for an early night with another Marple novel.

Me, seeing Streeting trying to squirm his way out of the Mandelson discourse:

If nothing else today, revel in the fact that Wes Streeting may have inadvertently scuppered his own chances at Leadership down the line.
