Scouser emigrated to W. Lancashire, piano player, can't dance, so don't ask me, grandad to four wonderful people, dad to two lovely daughters, parkrun fan, never let the Tories near the levers of power ever again, used to be a lifelong Labour supporter 🌹
The name Maliphant jumped out at me and I looked it up, apparently it derives from the French, mal enfant, or naughty child. So now I'm picturing a herd of maliphants...

I just watched the first five minutes and I'm hooked.
Definitely on my watchlist.

PS – are you muscling in on Susie Dent's territory?

I really enjoy your podcast with your mate, Jemma.

As far as the name goes, 'The Trawl' I suppose I can take it or leave it.

Whereas, 'That Awful Podcast'! Absolutely brilliant, trust me, it will double your listeners.

There are always good recommendations for additional music in your playlists. Clever old algorithms aren't they?

Is the further embarrassment about him parading in his underpants, or the $50,000 bank transfer from Jeffrey Epstein (the one that doesn't appear in the MPs register of interests at the time, also the one he has no recollection of)?

Genius! It's like I've seen the future :-)

I've been using Spotify for ages, I keep meaning to spring clean my account.

I've got dozens of playlists with names like
- My playlist
- My new playlist
- My favourite playlist
- My best playlist
- My latest best playlist

Must make more of an effort 🤔

Possibly a solution to EasyJet cabin baggage restrictions 🤔

The advantages of improving trade links with China v the USA are many.

Not least, fewer language issues 🤔

Won't someone please think of the tadpoles 🥲

The private good/public bad religion has been massively discredited over several decades. Believe it if you like, it's a free country.

Here's another quote, "that's just the way it is, some things will never change".

You can call it spite to want change & you can insist it's for the best to maintain a VIP lane to better universities and the top jobs for people like Johnson and Farage. You're obviously welcome to your opinion.

Yeah, let 'em eat cake 🍰

Private and state education are unrelated. Well that's bloody convenient 🤭
January 29, 2026 at 5:48 PM
Not charging VAT on private ed makes it more affordable for a privileged few. It's OK if you don't want to call that a subsidy.

So your point is, if state education is underfunded, what a shame. But let's not spoil things for a small number of elites. One day maybe there will be trickledown 😹
