101%?
70% of Britons believe it should be illegal for people to film strangers without their consent and share it on social media, amid concerns "manfluencers" are using smart glasses to record such videos featuring women without their knowledge

I’m moving house tomorrow.
I don’t want to scare people but the last time I moved house was three weeks before lockdown and the time before that, on contemplation, was eight weeks before the 2008 crash.
I guess what I’m saying is “buy gold, guns and water”.

I mean, I don’t necessarily question much of this - they do need to improve the country! They do need to improve comms! They do need to get their voters out! - but the idea that reform voters are “our people” is just not psephologically true in any shape or form, is it?
On Tuesday, Starmer's political director briefed Labour MPs on how government plans to fight Reform. She said:
- Reform voters are "our people" but "pissed off" with the state of the country
- At Runcorn, Farage mobilised habitual non-voters, while Labour voters stayed at home
- Comms must improve

Top Starmer Aide: Reform Voters Are 'Labour People' – They're Just 'Pissed Off'
Reform UK voters are “our people” but are “pissed off” with Keir Starmer’s government, Labour’s political director has said.

my cat Eric has taught me that what people really want is to drink out of the washing up bowl, eat Highlife "tasty tuna" and chase small bottles of vape liquid around a flat. This is the kind of powerful truth that is seldom discussed in the Westminster bubble.

The last time a clip made me feel this murderous it was the Marsh family singing a little ditty about Gisele Pelicot
Tomorrow's episode of Bold Politics is so so rare in British politics: real people who are unafraid to just be themselves for an hour because they know they don't have to protect any vested interests.
It's time for a clearout of robots in Westminster.

From PA: Sir Keir Starmer's former communications chief Lord Matthew Doyle has apologised for his past association with a paedophile councillor and said he will not be taking the Labour whip

They want the violence so they can write their articles saying the violence is justified.

“A student debating society in Bangor has barred several Reform members. This will lead to petrol bombs” is a moronic take to begin with. But obviously what he means is he hopes it leads to petrol bombs. The threat is implicit and explicit.

Going to be honest, if your first reaction to a news story about the rape of toddlers is to point out that your opponents aren’t talking about it because they only talk about it when it politically suits them, I don’t really see the difference between you and them? You are both using the story.

Lovely review, but when did British people start saying 'Rube Goldberg' instead of 'Heath Robinson'? This makes me sad.

I guess there’s something comforting in the way every faction of Labour inevitably ends up blaming the press
This morning I am still seeing people post to say they are joining Labour to support the PM.
The media's attempts to oust our PM have failed.
He is gaining support and comes out of this episode stronger than before.
Keep the momentum going! Keep posting support.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

I think you'll find that if you add unasked for syllables to almost any name that's shorter than the target length you can make them scan with anything. You can also remove syllables if the names are too long. I don't know why you're making a big deal out of this.

I do like that English is the most spoken language in the world despite feeling quite regularly like we are trolling them
Tangent: my Japanese tutor finds animal noises in English frustrating. Japanese has one verb for an animal making a noise. We have one per animal and often two, one of them onomatopoeia. Roosters broke her when I said the word for cock-a-doodle-doo is "to crow" despite that being a whole other bird.
