Christmas, the time of year when we order Amazon parcels to our own houses then deliver them to our family instead of just letting amazon do it. This is how we show our appreciation of the amazon elves and give thanks.

In opposition, nobody knew what Starmer stood for. But I thought, well he's just giving the tories enough rope to hang themselves with, he's not interrupting his enemy while they're making a mistake, he's not giving them any ammunition. Turns out he just had nothing to say.

The one good thing I had to say about Labour was that after Brexit, Covid, Boris, Liz, etc. A return to non-headline-chasing, non-dead-cat-throwing, non-personality obsessed politics was such a huge relief. To be back in level-headed Britain was an uplift in itself. And now they've fucked that up.

This is good to see from Labour and they have to do it, to level some blame at Farage. I just hope it doesn't turn into a platform for Farage to promise those deficient in critical thinking that he'll finally be able to lead us to the sunlit uplands

A coat of arms has to be impressive, full of symbolism, it's important, it represents an powerful family or person, so you have to think long and hard about its design and take it very seriously.
