The Lib Dems big announcement:

"The Liberal Democrats are announcing plans to break up the Treasury. The party wants to set up a new department of growth, led by the chancellor and based in Birmingham."
the LibDem announcement is... an economic policy speech

just in case you were wondering whether you made a mistake by getting out of bed

the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

Hang on, don't tell me - I know this one!

Is it because of woke?

I'm sure the number of people following me who are into Boards of Canada is pretty small.

But for any BoC fanbois like me: someone has uploaded rips of original tapes of Old Tunes v2, and it's bloody amazing to finally hear good quality versions.

Journalist: "Have you told the Primer Minister about this statement before making it?"

Anas Sarwar: "Yes. I spoke to the Prime Minister earlier today, and I think it's safe to say that he, and I... disgreed."
